men who on the night of July Il
held up and robbed three Bulgarian
laborers employed by the Omaha
road, near Lake Crystal, was this
forenoon discharged from custody
The state yesterday afternoon took
the testimony of three witnesses
named Rose, who claimed to have
seen Brown at ST. James the day OF
the robbery AS the only witness
of the defendant, Thomas Stansbery
of Mason City, Iowa, had not yet
arrived, the hearing was put off until
his arrival He came early last
evening and an evening session OF
the municipal court was held SO that
he might return to Mason City on
the evening train. Mr.. Stansbery is
a coal dealer and one of the old
and respected residents of Mason
City. He testified that Brown worked
for him July II and two days prior,
He paid Brown off on the afternoon
of that date Stansbery testified that
Brown remained in Mason City until
July "a.
The hearing was tnen Conlinueu
until ten o'clock this forenoon, and
at that time County Attorney Schmltt
moved that the action be dismissed,
and Judge Comstock granted the mo-
ton. The latter was based on the
ground that Mr.. Stansbery had
proved complete alibi for Brown.
The latter said that he has two
brothers at Duluth, Mike and George,
and sister in Minneapolis. He was
much pleased with the outcome OF
the case, as three witnesses had
positively identified him as one OF
the holdup and three others had cor
roborated these by claiming to nave
seen him at st. James.
The testimony of Mr. Stansbery

is promised the butchers from some
forty states who are in attendance
today at the initial session of the
twenty-6fth annual national conven-
ton of the United Master Butchers
of America The convention is eX-
pected to occupy three days and be-
tween sessions the visitors will be
entertained by the Retail Butchers
and Meat Dealers Protective associa-
ton of Allegheny county.
Asked about the effects on their
business of the boycott on meat
which was given wide publicity a
year or two ago, most Of the visitors
expressed ignorance Of the move
ment, although a few did remember
reading something about it in the
papers On the whole. members Of
the association say, the meat trade
is good AS for the plea of the
poor packers that they are making
little or nothing and that the prevail
ing high prices for meat are due
to the excessive greed of the re-
tailers-why, say the visitors, that
is a base prevaricatiOn.

From Tuesdays Daily
The advisory board of the Man
kato Commercial club held meeting
late yesterday afternoon to consider
several propositions. One was pre-
scented by Ed. Gugisburg of this city,
He advocated the formation Of a
local company to take over the Four
Traction Auto cOmpany's business,
plant and patents, with sufficient
capital to manufacture the auto
trucks on a larger scale than has
been possible SO far. He said that
Mr.. ROsenberger, who holds the pat
ents and nearly the entire interest
in the company, would be glad to re-
tire from the management, provided
he was given twenty-five per cent
of the stock for his interest and the
patents.
The board decided to appoint a
committee to look into this PROPOSE
tin.
Cut Glass Proposition.
George H. Lang appeared and
presented the proposition of the Olson
Cat Glass company of Minneapolis
to move to this city provided $4,000
of the preferred stock was subscribed
for in the city. He told what he
knew of the company and of the
business, and the board decided to
appoint committee to consider the

Ter of the Security bank of Minneap-
oils, an official who held the money
bag. This quartet drove i'm an au.
tomobile to the dining hall. which
was to be sold first. Robert Crick-
more read the rules and instructions
to privilege purchasers. Mr.. Nolan
told the audience how great the 1911
fair was going to be and warming
up to his subject, asked for bids.
Signing the Contracts.
AS soon as a successful bidder in
each case was announced Mr.. Crick-
more and Mr.. Nolan would start on
the run to the next place to be sold,
chasers Mr.. Bezoier would remain
to get a contract signed and a pay
ment made, while Mr.. Buck rounded
up the stray sheep.
This was the program from 1890
a. m. until A p. m. when the official
quartet called it all off and returned
to the secretary's office, weary but
elated with their success. In very
few instances the prices offered were
satisfactory. Then Auctioneer Nolan
refused to sell and everybody rushed
to the next space. This was a rare
exception. however, and there are
only a small proportion Of available
spaces for the big show left to be
disposed of. These will be sold at
private auction beginning Tuesday.
