LADS SLAYER is KNOWN
Father Of Dead Boy Divulges Nan
Of the Missing Cousin.
POLICE DO NOT HAVE THEORY
They show UnwiIinRness Go Init
mate whether BOY Was shot Acc
cidentalIy or Intentionally
by shepherd DixtOn.

Investigation into the death Of Jacob
Meiches. 24l5 Seward street, who was
shot on the night Of November IL, and
died last Saturday night, discloses that
the name Of the cousin who shot him is
Shepherd Dixton. The police are still un-
decided as to whether the shooting was
accidental or intentional.
Detectives Mcdonald and Pattullo were
put upon the case when II was brought
to the notice OF the police and they have
made a written report to County Attorney
English, with whom they want the mat
ter to rest. The Whereabouts OF Dixton
Is not known.
Nathan Meiches, father Of the dead
boy. said he would not say that the
shooting was accidental and the sister
and mother refused TO say that It was ac-
cidental. DIR. Romm, who attended the boy,
told the detectives that the FAMILY asked
him to keep the affair from becoming
public and 1t was for this reason that he
did not notify the poflce at the time the
shooting occurred.
DR.. ROmm said when the boy died that
he called the coroner's physician, DR.. Nc
Cleneghan, over the phone, and they

was not in town at that time, DR.. Nc
Cleneghen advised DR.. Romm to notify
Sheriff Bradley, who was acting as
coroner. Dr. Romm said he did and that
Sheriff Braily told him that they would
not hold an inquest. DR.. Romm then
turned the body over to an undertaken.
The Fathers story.
The father of the dead boy says that
on the night of the shooting Dixton came
home and lighted a candle. He searched
the room and found the revolver which
had been purchased by Meiches. Taking
the weapon he went over to the bed
where Melches slept and aroused him.
lie toyed with the pistol for some time
and then placed the mussle of It to his
(Meiches' head). Jacob jumped up and
after tussle took the gun away from
Dixton and laid It on the table. He
then asked Dixton to roll him a cigarette
which the latter did.
After giving the cigarette to Meiches
the cousin again took the pistol and while
Melches was smoking and not paying at
tention to his cousin, he was shot In the
neck. At the hospital DR.. Romm at
tempted to learn the cause of the shoot
ing from his patient, but all the latter
would say was, THE crazy little fool,
why did he do IT."
At no time during his stay at the hos
pital would Meiches say that the shoot
ing was accidental DR.. Fomm asked him
this question several times, but the boy
always turned 1t aside Detective Pattullo
said he met friend of Meiches who had
been to visit the latter while he was in
the hospital and he said that Meiches
told him he would have Dixton arrested
when he got out of the hospital.
Dixton was employed by the Paris
Skirt company, but was discharged from
that place on the day his cousin died.
His whereabouts are now unknown to the
police.

Judge Pau Decides BerkneF
Cases.

Judge "A. r. Pau Of Mankato on
Saturday made his findings in tho
cases Of Berkner Bros. vs.. VIM.
Schmitt, Berkner Bros. vs.. Dudley
D'Evelyn and Berkner Bros. ".
Martin Sherman, ordering Judgment
for the defendants. These cases we're
tried together ct the last term Of Court,
before Judge Pau, who had BEEN
asked to cit in these cases, because
Judge Olsen felt himself disqualified
The cases were more or less compli-
Gated. II appears that Frank Curt
right gave Willis Cunningham :
chattel mortgage on some horses and
other personal property and later on
gave second chsttel mortgage to
Berkner Bros. which, however, was
defective in not being properly Wit
messed.
Cunningham, instead OF foreclosing
his chattle mortgage, agreed with the
owner that he should sell the PERSONAL
property at public auction and turn
the proceeds over to him which was
done. At this auction the defendants
bought personal property and Berkner
Bros. instituted legal proceedings to
recover this property claiming it under
their mortgage. The Court holds that
the chattel mortgage being defective,
did not constitute notice to defendants
and that they are entitled to the
property bought by them at the
auction.

LOCATING SITE OF HANGING
INDIANS.

Friday morning an important meet
ing was held in Mankato at the office
of Judge Lorin Cray. This meeting,
brought about through the efforts OF
Gen. J. 81. Baker and Judge Lorin
Cray, convened for the purpose of
definitely locating the spot where the
80 Indians, who were considered the
ringlesders in the atrocities committed
BY the Sioux In August, 1852, we're
hanged. Three hundred of the captured
Indi ans we're condemned to death, but
President Lincoln pardoned all except
the 38 who expiated their crimes on
the gallows December 26, 1862. About
. dozen of the Indian fighters and eye
witnesses of the execution we're present
at the meeting and spent few hours
recalling incidents of early pioneer
life and the events that led to the
execution of the Indians. All present
seemed to be we'll agreed the gallows
we're located across Front Street from
what is now known as Central Block.
After the meeting those in attendance
went to spot just south of the drive
way leading to the Chicago & North
western freight depot and to point
ten feet toward the Saulpaugh along
the curb line and located this spot as
the center of the gallows. It is the
intention to erect a monument at this
point, the same to be built of Mankato
stone and Mankato marble with ap.
propriste inscriptions commemorative
the event. New Ulm has quite few
historic spots also and it would not be
q bad idea to have them definitely
located at an early date.
