COMING TO TOWN
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The J. S. GedEey Pickle company has
decided TO locate a plant in Mankato.
The Kurth building, on South Front
street, will be remodeled to suit its
convenience and the machinery will be
installed at once SO that the plant
can be made ready TO handle next
falls crop OF cncumbers, beans, to
matGes, caulifiower, etc. Mr.. Gedncy
is well pleased with the prospect. The
farmers will be urged to raise the
necessary products. Contracts for these
will be entered into at once. The com
pany will furnish the seed and instruc-
tons as to their planting and %cultiva-
ton.
Met With Executive Committee.
Mr.. Gedney met with the executive
committee of the Commercial club late
yesterday afternoon, and presented his
proposition. He requested n $4,000
cash bonus, and agreed To maintain
Il picking factory here for a period
of five years and more. The company
will employ from twenty To one hundred
people. A number of these will be skilled
workInen. A number of women will
be given employment. During the crop
gathering season, an expert will 60
among the farmers and superintend
the picking. Mr.. Gcdncy hopes to con
tract for 100 acres of cucumbers this
year. as they will be needed. He
stated also that sixty carloads of cab
bages will be required. The coming Of
the factory will NEAR an impetus to
the raising of cabbage, beans, toma-
toes, canliflower, peppers. etc. Next
year MIR. Gedney hopes to make con
tracts for 100 acres of these products
300 in this immediate vicinity and
400 at IL distance.
The members of the Commercial club
executive committee discussed with
Mr.. Gedney his proposition: and as
sured him hat every effort would he
made to meet its requirements. While
they were not in Il position to sign
a contract, they gave him TO under
stand that Mankato would do its best
to cover the proposition. President
Patterson will call Il meeting of the
club within Il week. At that meeting
definite action will be taken.
Will Lease Building.
Mr.. Gedney was induced by O. w.
Walker. the real estate man, to look
over the situation in Mankato. He
came, saw and was well pleased. He
decided that the Eurth building and
the adjacent lot are just the place for
his factory. He will enter into a
five-year lease for the property. The
entire building will be utilized and
tanks will be set up in the vacant
lot. These tanks will be rooted. Pos.
sibly more outside space will be neces-
sary to accommodate the additional
tanks that will be required as the
business increases.
The work of remodclinG the Kurth
building was begun today. The plant
will be installed az soon as possible
That the factory will be an excellent
thing for MankatO, there is no doubt
1t means another industry for alan
kato, an addition to the already long
pay roll. and will encourage the farm
ers near at hand to raise products fol
which they will have a ready sale al
good prices.

The supreme court has not yet reacheo
the case of folly Mason of Bibb county
under sentence to hang for the murder
of Robert Meigs, a white man, over
year ago. Mason was tried at a special
term of the court at Centreville and sem
fenced in May, 1909. 1t came to the su-
preme court in regular order, but not in
time for decision before the July recess,
and so went over to the fall. Some weeks
ago 1t was handed down, the death PEN
atty being affirmed. An application LOT
rehearing was made and this is now pend
ing. AS the date of execution was June 10
the certificate of affirmance was recalled.
The people of Bib county, impatient at
the delay, are making a row. The Cen
treville Press, in the issue of this week,
says: eff he is guilty the sentence of the
law should be invoked and he should be
executed. The special terms of the court
are farce If cases are thus to drag
along. Such delays of justice is breeding
disrespect of the law and is causing
men to take the law into their own hands
and avenge wrongs or imaginary
wrongs"
