Shirazi. England and the United
States should raise the best CONNER

yet they never produced a skin until
very recently.
In 1908 We succeeded, thanks to
President Roosevelt, in bringing, at
ruinous price, fifteen Kara-Kuls to
this country, and today we have Sc
of them. We have enough full blood
bucks to cover five hundred ewes,
and before many years our sheep
breeders will be enabled to buy grad
ed Kara-Kul bucks which will make
it possible for them to raise such
commercial Kara-Ku] furs as Persian
lamb, Astracban, Krimmer, Afghani-
stan, etc. Several prominent breed
ers have made tests for us, not only
in Texas but also in the north, ana
the results were most convincing and
gratifying.

From esday's Daily.
Ceremonies BETTING Memorial day
were held at the Mankato Theatre
during the forenoon. Words eulo-
CYSTIC of the brave men who went
forth fifty years ago to fight for
the preservation of the Union were
spoken, and patriotic songs were
sung. Again the lesson of patriotism
was taught to the rising generation,
and again the older people were re-
minded of the great debt of graft
tude they owe to those who sacrificed
so much on the field of battle that
this country might not perish.
The weather was anything but ia
vorable for the holding of memorial
exercises. The rain fell and the
morning was gloomy. But the rain
did not keep the old soldiers
from attending the ceremonies.
Members of the Wilkin post marched
from their hall to the theatre, as did
the members of the Womans Re-
lief corps.
The exercises at the theatre be-
gan at ten O'Clock
Stage Beautifully Decorated.
The Mankato Theatre was beauti-
fully decorated this morning for the
Memorial day services, and although
it rained nearly all forenoon a large
audience was in attendance at the
exercises. The stage was hand
somely decorated with flags and
bunting and profusion of flowers
and potted plants. The militia had
stacked arms and miniature tents
on the stage and these features
gave the proceedings military
tinge. On the platform were seated
Rev. R. w. Hobbs of the Baptist
church, Rev. T. R. Paden of the
Presbyterian church and the speak
er. Hon. w. |. Nolan of Minneapo-
lis.
Thirty-six veterans, members of
Alexander Wilkin post attended the
services, marching from their hall
in a body. and an equal number or
more members of the Woman's Re-
lief corps. The attendance of the
veterans was not as large as u.s.
ual, as many have answered the
final roll call since last Memorial
day.. and many are i'll and were I'M
able to attend.

From Thursdays Daily.
Walter r. Mason is held to the
grand jury on the charge of grand
larceny. The warrant sworn to by
Miss Anna Cole was dismissed in
the police court this morning by
County Attorney Schmitt. This is
the case in which the National Bank
of Commerce is interested. The
charge now lodged against Mason
has to do with the alleged burglary
of the Huettl barber shop. 1t is
possible that the case in which the
bank is concerned will be brought
against him in another form.
1t is possible, too, that County
Attorney Schmitt will turn Mason
over to the government authorities,
who claim to have evidence to con-
vict him of using the mails to de-
fraud.
Mason in Court.
Mason was brought into the mu.
nicipal court this morning by Sher
if Osten and Deputy Sheriff Ario
for preliminary examination on
the charge of grand larceny in the
second degree and was bound over
to the grand jury of the district
court which convenes in this city
at ten o'clock on Tuesday, June 6.
The court room was filled to it's
capacity.
The defendant was represented by
Attorneys Philips & Hunt and the
case was prosecuted by County At
torney j. w. Schmitt.
Court Reporter w. B. Davies took
the notes of the trial for the de-
Tense. -
Charges Grand Larceny.
The warrant as read charged Ma
son with the crime of grand larceny
in the first degree, reciting that on
the evening or the night of April
last the defendant entered the
barber shop of Louis A. Huettl in
the basement of the Kruse Bros
clothing store and took. therefrom
twenty-four razors and gold watch
valued at $26. Attorney Schmitt
moved that the case be called for
examination. Attorney Hunt made
motion to first. proceed with the
hearing in the other case, charging
Mason with larceny in the second
degree. This is the case in which
the National Bank Of Commerce is
interested.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1911-06-02

The county attorney moved the.
postponement of the latter case un-
til. tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock.
This, however, was dismissed later,
after the defendant was bound over
on the first charge of larceny in the
first degree.
HuettI on the Stand.
Louis A. Huettl was the first wit
ness and testified to the theft of
twenty-fOur raZors, between $40 and
$50 in money and gold watch on
the evening or night of April 5 last.
Thirteen of the razors belonged to
Huettl and eleven to Walter Klages,
another barber The watch, an open
face, gold watch, had been pawned
to Huettl some two or three weeks
prior for 81 and was put in the
money drawer and kept there.
Huettl testified to Mason's frequent
visits to the barber shop and when
he advanced him the money on the
watch, defendant saw him put 1t in
the money drawer. The value or
the razors was 81 each. Mr.. Huettl
left his barber shop about $3.50 the
evening of the robbery, and the fol-
lowing morning the back or rear
door was found open. The defense
objected to testimony tending to
show the amount of money taken
and Judge Comstock sustained the
objection, as the complaint did not
charge any money loss.
Sheriff Anton Osten was the next
witness. He told of his visit to
Hammond, Ind, where Mason was
arrested, and turned to him, together
with the watch, which was produced
in evidence.
Peterson Witness.
A. c. Peterson, who lives at the
corner of Fifth and Main streets,
was the next witness. He testified
that Mason roomed with him during
the time of the barber shop robbery
and prior to this time. He is night
engineer at the Saulpaugh hotel, but
was formerly in the United States
army.
Deputy Sheriff Ario swore to the
issuing of a search warrant on De
PENDANT Mason and told of the con-
versation he had with Mason re-
garding the watch.
This concluded the testimony and
the state and defense rested.
Judge Comstock in summing UP
the case, ordered that the defendant
be held to appear before the dis
trict court on June to answer any
charge preferred and that he be re-
CURED to furnish bond in the sum
of $1,000 TO his appearance. In de-
fault of the bond approved by the
court, the prisoner be remanded
back to Jail.
Attorney J. w. Schmitt moved
that the case of the State of Min
nesota against Mason charging grand
larceny in the second degree by
Anna Cole be dismissed, which was
SO ordered by Judge Comstock.

From Fridays Daily.
The magnificent new Elks club
building, which was described in
every detail by The Daily Free
Press last night, was thrown open
in the evening, and was the scene
of a reception and ball to mark it's
opening that was of SURPRISING beau
ty and pleasure. The interior of
this grand building presented a
scene long to be remembered, and
which will pass down in the social
annals of the city as fulfilling the
highest expectations of all.
The interior of the building was
beautified and the elegant furnish
ings and hangings set off by floral
decorations, selected and arranged
with great taste-there being neither
too much nor too little. In the
main hall, where the guests entered,
there were punches of spirea and
red carnations near the entrance,
with hydrangeas and green shrub
berry further back. Shrubbery lined
the approaching stairway, where two
colored servants ushered the guests
in.
Scene Was Fascinating.
. About one hundred and fifty cou.
pies attended the affair, many of
them in full evening dress, the ele-
giant costumes and coiffures of the
ladies mingling charmingly with the
somber attire of the gentlemen
Many of the ladies wore flowers. and
the scene in the great ball room
was particularly fascinating.
AS the guests arrived in carriages
or automobiles, they were met. in
the hallway by F. e. Crandall,
chairman of the committee of ar
rangements, and directed to their
rooms, the ladies to the ladies' pri-
vate reception room at the right,
where ample toilet arrangements
were at hand and maid assisted,
and the gentlemen to the coat
rooms. A large bouquet of pink
roses and hydrangeas adorned the
ladies room. Az
The guests then entered the large
and magnificent reception room,
which was beautifed by floral dec
orations, The fireplace was filed
