Running a SIS plate glass win.
dow for the purpose of stealing $50
worth of firearms was the work OF
thief at Newgard & Laudert's
hardware store at New Richland in
the early hours of Tuesday morning
In the front window of the store
was display of firearms, including
a number of guns and pistols. The
burglar or burglars, instead of going
through a door or small window as
is the custom with yeggmen, took
the shortest route to the booty and
with a large stone broke the plate
glass, gathered up six revolvers,
valued at from IS to SIS each and
departed unmolested. 1t was about
the boldest bit of burglary ever
committed in the village. Persons
sleeping in the Washburn hotel d.
rectly across the street, heard
crash and designate the time as
about 1870 a. m. Ten minutes pre-
viously Marshal Courtney was in
that vicinity and in the course of
his rounds went to the depot. That
the yeggmen closely watched the
marshal is evidenced by the fact
that Mr.. Courtney heard no noise
and was not aware of the deed I'M
til appraised of it by others.
The whole lower part of the large
plate glass was shattered, leaving a
hole large enough for the entrance
of the truder. Blood stains were
glar evidently having received cut
while removing his booty. Although
an effort has been made to locate
the thief, no trace of him has been
found.

81 am convinced that all this talk
about the farmers being opposed to
reciprocity has no foundation in
fact" said Senator Thomas Pugh of
Duluth yesterday. 81 have been in
terviewing a number of farmers in
Blue Earth county, and have found
the majority of them are favorable
to the trade pact with the country
to the north of us.
"The statement has been published
time and time again by some of our
newspapers that the cities were for
reciprocity and the countryside was
against it. My investigation of the
subject convinces me that the farm
ers are as much in favor of estab-
fishing better trade relations be-
tween the two countries as the peo-
pie living in the Cities

Ernest Weinermann was brought
before the municipal court this
morning to receive his sentence. He
is the boy who some time ago used
an air rifle in a careless manner
and destroyed the sight of one eye
of Leon Brockmeyer. Judge Com
stock in his remarks felt that part
of the trouble was due to lack of
proper home training. The judge
issued an order committing the boy
to the state training school and then
suspended the order on the condi
ton that the boy be found employ
ment on farm within the next ten

Chief of Police Donahue, after
an investigation, has reached a con-
clusion in his own mind as to who
the parties are that took George
Klein's auto from it's garage and
operated it late Wednesday night
without Mr.. Klein's knowledge or
consent.
The chief has made a searching
inquiry into the matter and has
placed the guilt upon two young
men who, so the chief says, left the
city during last night. However,
nothing will be done by the authori-
ties as Mr.. Klein has decided not
to prosecute the boys.
The boys are at liberty to return
to MankatO and without fear of
facing a stern judge for their gross
misdemeanor.
