there was a large sum in the city
treasury, and while since that time
the city has received the taxes, wa

there is but small balance in the
treasury now, and the city is largely
indebted
THAT by lavishly spending the
city's funds the city commissioners
have put the city in financial
strait where not enough money re-
mains to conduct the city's business
with until March 1, without going in
to debt still more.
"That the city commissioners
have paid salaries which are too
high and more than the city of Man

invite comparison of all these sal
aries with the salaries paid in
1908. We also claim that the COM

"That by reason of the extrava-

they were obliged to make a tax
levy of forty-three mills, the highest

Most of these, Attorney Schaub
said he would be willing to submit
to the committee on the minutes
Of the books of council proceedings.
After these charges had been read,
Commissioner Humiston said that as
most of the charges were directed
against him, he thought it well for
the committee to go over the work.
At this point Mr.. Walters attorney
explained that the charges brought
against the council had nothing to
do with the work, whether it was a
benefit to the city, or that it was
necessary, but that the method of
procedure was illegal
1t was then decided to adjourn
until three O'Clock this afternoon.

roads enthusiasm yesterday after
noon, and last evening the town was
ablaze with the movement to i'm
prove the state highways between
Mankato and Minneapolis and st.
Paul The demonstrations, both in
the afternoon and evening, are
strong evidence that the people of
Morristown and the farmers living in
the neighborhood are in favor of the
best kind of roads that it is possible
for them to build.
George w. Allyn of Madison Lake
addressed two meetings at Norris
town yesterday. He spoke to over
500 farmers in the afternoon and in
the evening he addressed the towns
people on the subject of good roads.
He reached the city in the afternoon,
coming from Mortified where he
was one of the speakers at good
roads meeting. A large delegation
of Morristown citizens acted as
reception committee and the town
band was there to play him well
come.
The meetings were held in the
village hall and the attendance after
noon and evening was large and
there was no lack of enthusiasm.
One of the members of the county
board stated to Mr.. Allyn that he
would contribute S25 personally to-
ward the good roads movement and
as a commissioner he would assist
by voting an appropriation for the
project.

With these words, James w. Lut
terall whipped revolver from hi.
| pocket and shot at his wife, the bull
let striking her left shoulder blade
but did not inflict a serious wound
| Another shot was fired, but the bull
let went skyward.
The shooting occurred at $40 las
evening in front of the Central News
Depot, 113 South Front street. Mrs
Lutterall and her daughter Margaret
were walking together when the hus
band and father made the attack
on his wife.
The first bullet struck Mrs Lut
terall in the left shoulder, glanced
off and lodged in the lining. A sec
Ond shot was fired but this went
into the air, as the daughter strug
gled with her father and seized the
gun.
Shooter Thrown to Sidewalk.
| At moments notice Lutterall
was thrown to the sidewalk where
he was held until the arrival of Of
ficer Andengaard, who took the pris
oner to the police station. Much

before there was large crowd al
the scene and in front of the police
station, where they fingered for som.
time.
The prisoner was held in the city
Jail until eight o'clock when he was
quietly taken to the county Jail by
Sheriff Osten and Deputy Sheriff
Ario. Here he was held until this
afternoon.
Last night Lutterall met his daugh
ter Margaret, who was going home
from her work at the j. r. Snow
photography studio. He talked to
her for a few moments and the two
walked down the street. She left
him, however, at Hickory street and
continued on her way home. When
she arrived near the Rex Cigar
store she met her mother, who was
going to her work.
She spoke to her mother, saying

met him a few minutes ago."
She talked for a minute with hel
mother, and then heard shot. Turn
ing around she saw her father. With
one spring she seized him and tried
to wrench the revolver away. At this
juncture, Edwin VogelpOhl, son oil
DR.. Henry Vogelpohl, who was neal
by, also grabbed Mr.. Lutterall and q
short struggle followed in which
Lutterall was pinioned to the side
walk. Others who heard the shot
joined in the struggle to hold him
down.

However, before he was borne
down, he fired another shot but this
went into the air, taking no effect
Had it not been for Margaret Lut

stated to The Free Press today thai
the barrel of the revolver was point

the second shot was fired, wher
Margaret seized her father and

William Lowell Wilson, one of
Mankato's oldest and best known
residents, died at his home at 720
Mound avenue, early this morning
following an illness of several weeks.
His death was largely due to old
age.
Mr.. Wilson was born in Chester,
Vermont, May 4, 1918, so was nine
ty-three years of age at the time
of his death. He lived in Chester
until he was twenty-five years old
and then went to Worcester, Mass,
and then went to Springfield, in the
same state, where he met and mar
ried Miss Mary Royce Their m;.r-
riage took place March 30, 1913.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson lived in Spring
field for several years and then
went to Hartford, Conn. They then
moved to Minnesota and took a
claim in Faribault county, near Bass
Lake. A year later, in 1860 the
family moved to Mankato and have
lived here ever since that time.
Came Here in 1872.
In 1872 Mr. Wilson bought a plot
of fifteen acres near Sibley park
and resided there until his death.
For many years he engaged in gar
dening and poultry raising.
Although not a soldier, Mr.. Wilson
went through all the privatiOnS and
sufferings of the Civil war, the In
dian outbreak and pioneer life. He
was a carpenter and lather by trade
and with his sons lathed the first
normal school building here, the
Catholic college and the Union
school.
Mr.. Wilson is known to almost
every old. settler in Mankato ana
was prominent in city affairs fcS
many years. AT the time of his
death be was one of the oldest men
in Mankato and during his entire
residence in the city has held the
respect and friendship of large
number of friends. He was cour-
teous gentleman. affable and genial
in his manner. He was man of
strict integrity, a devoted husband,
an indulgent father and a kind
neighbor. His passing away removes
another of those pioneers that link
ed the past with the present.
Celebrated Sixtieth Wedding Ami
versary.
Three years ago, on March 30,
1908, Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson celebrated
their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
Besides his aged wife, five chill
dren, six grandchildren and six great
grandchildren survive him. The chill
dren are w. H. Wilson of st. Paul,
George W., Ella, Alma and Bessie

ACTION IS DEFERRED,
NAMED A COMMITTEE

Nc .4Gte action was taken at
tb> IS /Gng held in the hose house
49, .dkes' addition last night, ex-
\ =. that committee was appointed
18th power to appoint additional
Committees to investigate the matter
of purchasing the property on Fourth
street belonging to the railroad COM
pany. This property is about six
blocks in extent.
The attendance at the meeting
was not as large as was expected
and because of the few numbers
present and of the existing condi-
lions it was moved and carried to
appoint a committee of six to inves-
tigate the proposition of purchasing
this right-of-way Mayor Taylor pre-
sided. He opened the meeting by
stating the purpose for which the
had been called and explain
ed that in company with Commits
sioner Lawrence Henline he had
gone to the Omaha railroad COM
head offices in st. Paul and
taken the matter up but they did not
get very much satisfaction.
Property Owners Took Matter Up.
Later on, however, interested prop
erty owners took, the matter up and
sale for which the property could
be purchased for something like
$4,000, which proved to be a much
better offer than that secured by
Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Henline. He
explained that Mr.. Lamm, who owns
property along Fourth street, was
out of the city at the time but that
he had authorized the mayor to say
for him that he would do his share
toward donations.
Committee Is Appointed.
At this point Paul Detloff was
elected secretary of the meeting.
After long discussion about the
property as shown on the map which
the mayor had brought with him,
Sivert Olson moved that a commit
tee be appointed to devise plans and
means to look into the matter fur
Their. This was passed.
Swan Norgren then moved an
to this motion, namely,
that a committee of six be appoint
ed with power to appoint other
committees and enlarge the present
committee. This was also carried.
Objected to Action.
John Transberger objected to any
action toward buying the Omaha
railways right of way, saying that
it would not benefit his property.
He said he was willing to help pay
for grading, ETC., but that he would
not donate a cent toward the pur-
chase of this property.
John III. Hohmann, although not
present, was elected chairman of the
and in order the follow
ing men were elected as members:
George Kaiser, Joseph Hampl, Swan
Joseph Mayer and Sivert
