THE LEGISLATURE.

Reported for THE HERALD by Colby Stoddard
The Legislature of 1910 is really
showing a disposition to work and a
readiness to tackle the most difficult
problems. The Committees are in good
working shape and are reporting bills
on schedule time. About one hundred
bills have been introduced in the House
and about twenty in the Senate and it
is safe to say they cover matters rang
ing from muskrat bills to constitutional
amendments. They are still coming in
at the rate of twenty five per day.
Among the bills introduced in the
Senate is one introduced by Senator
Powell permitting towns and cities to
exempt hotel property from taxation,
which is designed to bel the new hotel
at Burlington. Senator Gordon's En-
ployers Liability Bill is framed with a
view of doing away with much of the
expensive litigation in cases of personal
injury and will prove to be one of the
important measures of this session
Senator Norton of Chittenden County
wants the Public Service Commission to
have power to compel railroads to fur
nish respectable depots; the Senator
doubtless having in mind the station al
Burlington. Webster, the democratic
member from Swanton, has introduced
bill to exempt $40 in wages from
Trustee process and there is much dis
cussion about the hotels and corridor
as to the merits of the bill. The bill
has been reported favorably by the com
mittee and will have many staunch sup
porters. 1t is exactly in line with The
platform promises of both politica
parties, but from comment heard her
it seems that party promises are not t.

SPECTATORS ARE AROUSED; THE
POLICE INTERFER.

1t takes more than one swallow to
make summer, but, given the right
time and circumstances, one rowdy can
make a riot. This was illustrated at
the ball game Sunday afternoon when
Mankato sought to wrest the state
championship from Owatonna, says The
Owatonna Journal
The responsibility for the unfortu-
nate termination of the game rested
entirely with one Mullane of Mime
apolis. who occasionally has played
with the Mankato team and who was
insisted upon by them as the umpire
for Sundays game. Mr.. Mullane was
exceedingly rank, so rank, in fact, as to
eclipse any previous exhibition of UNI
piring rankness ever given in Owatonna
Let it be understood from the start
however, that Mr.. Mullanc's manifest
intention to help Mankato win had
nothing whatever to do with the dis
turbancc which broke up the game, ex-
cepting in the most incidental respect
The game had proceeded to the sew
cnth inning, with Mankato at bat. The
score stood one to nothing i'll Ovation
ma favor, and the game had been fast
and interesting from the start in spite
of the wet grounds and showers.
Shot One Close to the Batter
Jack Erdman, pitching for Owatonna
shot one through very close to the bat
ter, who fiinched and pretended to
have been hard hit, although the bal
flew straight and fast to the backstop

only brushed his sweater i'll passing
but the question of whether it did OF
not has little to do with the matter.

Has Not Regained Consciousness.
DR.. C. j. Holman was called i'll con-
sultation by DIR. Sohmer later in the
day, and they found pressure on the

performed II trcphine operation, which
relieved the pressure, and the mans
condition improved, but he did not re-
gain consciousness. The wound in the
hip was dressed The bullet will not
be probed for. An antiseptic dressing
was put on, and results will be awaited
The physicians hope the man will soor
regain consciousness. The outcome il
still uncertain.

From Tuesdays Daily.

What may prove to be a murder, or
may have been an accident, occurred
some time last night, presumably short
ly before daylight, at or near the
culvert where the Omaha and North
western railway tracks cross Mound
avenue, in West Mankato.
Some telegraph linemen, on their
way to their work at $3.50 o'clock,
found a man lying unconscious just
east of the south end of the culvert,
by the side of the road, and reported
the matter to the police station. Off
GERS Budde and Ballenger, with hack,
drove to the spot and picked the man
up and carried him to the police sta
ton. There DIR. A. Z. Sohmer was
summoned and found the man in such
condition that he had him at once
taken to St. Joseph's hospital.
Man in Comatose Condition.
The man was in comatose condi-
tion and unable to recognize anyone's
presence or to speak Oh give any ac-
count of what he had been through. 1t
was found that he was suffering from
conclusion Of the brain, due to a blow
on the right side of his head and also
from what seemed to be bullet wound
in his right hip. He was bleeding pro-
fusely from the latter, but the blow
on his head had not broken the skin.
There was also slight abrasion of the
skin on one elbow.
DIR. Sohmer was able to probe for a
distance of seven inches into the wound
in the hip. If it was made by shot,
the bullet must have entered from an
upward direction, and after going in a
short distance glanced on the hip bone
and gone downward into the flesh and
