park, the pride of Rochester, was
partially submerged late last night.
The Zumbro river ragged through the
pleasure resort, tearing out the work
Of three years and causing many
hundreds of dollars damage to the
park system.
Gravel roads were carried away,
shrubs, foot bridges and boats went
down the stream, and for time it
seemed as if the loss of 1908, when
the flood washed Mayo park almost
off the map, would be duplicated.
Thousands of dollars Of damage to
property was done by the food in
this section.
Many cattle We're lost, while in
places homes were vacated, residents
in the country seeking refuge with
neighbors. The water came within
two feet of reaching the mark of
1908. 1t is now slowly receding.

With a view to inaugurating a
campaign in Mankato along the
lines of the Men and Religion
Foreward Movement, several hun
dred men will gather in the parlors
of the Presbyterian church Friday
evening to discuss and formulate
the details. Invitations have been
sent out to the men of the city to
be present.
Prior to the meeting supper
will be served by the ladies Of the
church. This repast will be ready
at six o'clock in the evening.
. The meeting will be addressed by
several gentlemen who have made
study of the movement. 1t is the
hope of the pastors of the several
churches in the city to interest the
laymen i'm church work to much
larger extent than they have been
in the past.
Later a massmeeting of the church
men will be held, and the movement
then will be given an impetus that
surely must result in religious
awakening among MankatO men that
they have never experienced.

Adam Rockefeller, who was SEN
fenced to the state penitentiary from
Nicollet county in May, 1897, for
murder, has applied to the state au-
thorities for a pardon. The crime
for which Rockefeller was sent to
the penitentiary was committed on
August 10, 1896, about three o'clock
in the afternoon, in the saloon now
run by E. A. Pagel, st. Peter.
Rockefeller and his victim were
strangers in the city, and had a
quarrel in the saloon about game
of cards.
Rockefeller went out and came
back in a short time and without
warming pulled revolver and fired
four shots into his victim, who was
sitting on a chair. Rockefeller was
indicted by the grand jury in the fall
of 1896 but his trial was postponed
until the May term of court in 1897,
when he was found guilty of murder
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. The identity of the murdered
man has never been established. He
was registered at the Cunningham
hotel as John Stroesser, his place Of
residence not being given.
