The funeral of Mrs. David Charles
Price which took place on Saturday
last was very large and on account
of its peculiar circumstances was
also unusually solemn. Mrs. Price
being woman of scarcely middle age
and less than one week sick, called
for the deepest sympathies with her
husband and the three little ones left
behind. Together with these personal
facts Mrs. Price belonged to a large
and greatly respected family and be-
ing widely known there were over
a hundred teams in the funeral cor
tege. After short service in the
home the remains were taken to
Horeb church where more prolong-
ed service and addresses from sew
eral ministers were rendered. The
obsequies were led by the Rev. John
ID. Jones, pastor of Horeb Welsh
Calvinistic Methodist church, assist
ed by the Rev. William E. Evans of
Mankato, the Revs. John w. Roberts
and William M. Jones of Lake Crys-
tai. and G. l.. Griffith of Cambria.
Mrs. Price was forty-twO years, two
months and twenty-seven days old
when overtaken by death, having
been attacked by double pneumonia
and pleurisy, whose ravages swept
her comparatively young life away
as by a flood in few days. She

mortal stanzas:
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform.
He plants. his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm,
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up his, bright designs
And works his sovereign will.
And though we cannot explain
these mysterious providences, We
may trust that God knows best.
Mrs. Price was a daughter of David
S. Davies, formerly of Cambria
Brown county. Her mother, Mrs. d
S. Davies, resides in Lake Crystal
Several of her brothers and sisters
were present at the funeral, which
was the largest seen in Cambria
cemetery for some time.

IDENTIFIED AS LONG

Edward w. Springer, money
order clerk at the postoffice In
Owatonna, arrived in the city
this afternoon, and, accompanied
by Postofficer Inspector Smith,
visited the county jail and took
a look at Mason. He identified
him as man who went by
the name of John Long at OWa-
tonna and who got postotice
money order of him and signed
the name of John Long. Springer
easily picked Mason out OF
crowd of six men. Mr.. Springer
stated to The Free Press that
he was sure Mason is the man
who assumed the name OF
John Long at the Owatonna
postoffice. Mason denied that
he ever assumed the name OF
Long.
The Chinese laundryman at
Owatonna claims to have been
defrauded by John Long in
similar way as Fong Mdon of
this city claims to have been
defrauded by him, and is ex-
pected to come and try to iden-
fifty Mason as Long. He has
been so busy that he has not
found time to come yet.

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily
Each day develops something new
of interest in the Walter K. Mason
case. Since his return in the GUS
tody of Sheriff Osten, search of
his possessions has resulted in the
finding of genuine check made
out by Fong Moon, the Chinese
laundryman Another check, said
to be forged, was also found. The
genuine check given by Moon was
on the First National bank, where
the Chinese laundryman has an &C
count, and the bogus check was also
drawn on that bank, and called for
the payment to one Frank A. May
pard of 5000. This was not dated,
but bore the forged signature OF
Moon.
Fona Moon Says Check Is Forgery.
The genuine check apparently had
been used as a sample or copy in
forging the bogus one, for the hand
writing was closely copied. Fong
Moon has pronounced the Maynard
check forgery. The date would
probably have been filled in when
ever an effort was made to pass it,
if such an effort was intended.
Yesterday Postoffice Inspector
Smith produced nine money orders
purporting to have been sent by
Fong Moon to Long in payment OF
goods ordered from a fake Mime
apolis supply house, the total OF the
orders being $135. Mason admitted
having had the first one in his pos
session, it is said. but denied any
knowledge of the others or of hav
ing ever seen them before.
Louis Huettl has gotten out q
warrant for Mason in connection
with the burglarizing of his barber
shop last spring.
No Bond Secured.
Attorneys Hunt & Phillips have
made no attempt to obtain bono
for Mason.
1t is understood that Miss Cole
shows a disposition to stand by hel
lover until the charges made against
him have been proven.
The officers are continuing theil
Investigations of Mason's record
and the attorneys for Mason are do
ing some probing themselves of Ger
tain things that have come to theil
knowledge.
