FONG MOON HAS A VISITOR
Waterville Lady Imparts Some Infor-
nation to Him.
From Fridays Daily.

from fridays Odtiy.
A lady from Waterville yesterday
called on Fong Moon, the Chinese laun-
dryman, and informed him how it came
about that M. b. Lane of that place
put his foot down upon the marriage
of his daughter, Miss Rosie, to Mr..
Moon. 1t appears that Mr.. Lane was
at Faribault week ago this evening
and there saw an account of the pro-
posed wedding in a paper. This was
the first intimation that he had re-
ceived of, it, and he FASTENED home
Saturday morning and forbade the nup-
tails, and got letter off to Moon.
Moon is not quite as respondent as
he was, since the Waterville LADY had
a talk with him. 1t may be that she
was sent as an ambassador to him,
as he is very reticent about the con-
versation that was had, and refuses
to be interviewed any more.

hearing of Charles Hnmmel and Albert
johnson was on before Judge Gamble
Thursday and consumed all of the day
These are the men who are charged
with having had carnal knowledge of
the two Palmer girls at Granada, aged
ten and twelve years respectively. The
conrt very properly excluded the public
from the hearing and admitted the
witnesses only as their names were
called To testify.
Attorney a. II. Allen was retained
by the prisoners and from The nature
of the case about all he could do for
them was to see that they had a fair
and impartial hearing. County Attorney
Palmer appeared on behalf of the state
The testimony was such that il has
M place in newspaper and the al
legged crimes against childhood has stir
red the sentiment OF the people of
Granada to the boiling point
As previously intimated in The Sen
tinel, the testimony showed that the
two men, who were farm hands work
ing a6ont Granada, went to the Palmer
home when the mother was absent at
a funeral and remained in the house
all of Sunday afternoon and Sunday
night and until driven away in the
morning by some of the neighbors.

the complaint alleges, assaulted and
abused the two little girls, in man

of the state of Minnesota.
1t win be remembered that after
committing the crime at Granada the
men fled and were captured at ST.
James. 1t appears that they have been
there before, Johnson then going by
the name of Miller The st. James
says:
tine man Miller. so people who saw
him allage, is the fellow who was
married on May II, 1903, to Pauina
Angst, at that time employed i'm ore
of the local hotels, ami together they
went to the Twin Cities, where the
man spent what little money the
woman had, in drinking and carousing,
after which he deserted her. Later Il
son was born to them, and is now with
the mother at the country home south
of this city. The feeling here is such
that, if anything can be proven against
him, the majority will be glad to see
him get an extra allowance in the
states prison to partially atone for
the treatment accorded the WatOnwan
county young woman who was not ca
pablc of understanding the nature of
the trap in which she was being caught.
'Tne man Miller Tor Johnson as he
was known in Martin county, seems to
be well supplied with names and though
younger than the other, appears to be a
man accustomed to hard paths. We
understand he was the chief offender"
At the hour of going to press the
hearing was not completed.
