County Attorney Schmitt relative to
having warrant issued for the ar
rest of Zimmerman on the charge
that he threatened to pull a gun on
c. A. CroOper, one of their number.
Crooper was one of the most az
gressive in the attempt to force col
lection of what the band boys claim
ed was due them.
Crooper stated to The Free Press
today that when he made move
to follow Zimmerman up the Clifton
house stairway, after the verbal ar
gument in the office of the hotel,
Zimmerman halted him with the
threat that if he came step farther
he would pull a gun on him. 1t
is said by members of the band
that zimmerman promised to meet
them at Crandall's iewelry store at
nine o'clock Saturday night for the
purpose of making settlement, but
he did not show up, although mem
bers of the band had gathered there
in the hope that he would show up.
The fire department took part in
the parade and won a prize of SIS
which was paid by Max to Assistant
Chief Phil Leas. Several boys were
paid prize money also.
Should Max ever again want to en-
gage music in Mankato, he will be
invited to play the band on his hat.
1t is learned that Zimmerman for
got to liquidate several printing
bills before he left town.

Yeggmen turned trick at Read
Worthington on the Rock Island
road, between one and two o'clock
this morning. They "blowed" the
safe in the State bank, secured $500
in currency and silver and made
good their escape, although they
were followed seven miles by the
cashier of the bank, Henry Schinkle,
and a hardware merchant, Thomas
Baird, in the latters auto.

1t is suspected that the two yegg-
men planned the robbery in Worth

to Reading after dark last night Be-
tween one and two o'clock this
morning Mr.. Schinkel, who lives in
upper rooms near the bank, was
awakened by an explosion. Instantly
he OWNED that the bank was in the
hands of yeggmen, and Selling his

escaped. They got out of the town
with their loot. Mr.. Schinkle hast

Meanwhile the yeggmen had stol-

T. Thayer, the local lumber dealer,
and were driving down the highway
at breakneck speed, flashing the
horses all the while. The robbers
had considerable the start of their
pursuers, but the latter overlook the
fleeing men near the Greene school
house, about seven miles from Read
ing. The yeggmen opened fire on
Messrs. Schinkle and Baird, and the
bullets whiZzed by their heads in
rapid succession. The yeggs sue
ceeded in getting away. They headed

Crop Comparisons.
The cereals had an aggregate acre
age of 10,140,3S9 acres in 1909, as
against 11,207,G26 in 1899, a decrease
of 1,O66,637 acres, or 9.5 per cent.
There was, however, an increase in
total yield of these crops of 1851
1O3 bushels. The average value of
cereals per acre in 1909 was $3.50,
little over twice that of hay and
forage. Wheat shows the highest
average value per acre of the cere-
ais; buckwheat the lowest. OF the
hay and forage crops alfalfa is
well above the rest in average value

number of miscellaneous crops,
though the average values per acre
of several of them are well above
those of the more usual crops.

Judge Cray read from report
from the city engineer of Minneapo-
lis, that two engineers had picked
the southern pine, because it pre-
sents more even surface, and
stands the traffic better. The south
ern pine costs twenty cents yard
more than tamarack, but the differ
ence in quality warrants 1t, they
said. No doubt the gentleman who
lust spoke understands the reason
why it is desired to open up com
petition, more than anyone else in
the room.
Mr.. Currier said that only the best
quality of southern pine should be
used.
Mr.. Radichel said that his COM
pany was in position to put in
the best grade of southern pine, that
will pass all tests
Can Ship Pine Cheaper.
S. B. Wilson said that the North
Star Concrete company can buy the
Southern pine and ship it thousands
of miles at cheaper price than
tamarack can be bought for from the
Kettle River company. If the lat
ter company will put it's figures
where business can be done with
it, it will leave the field open to it
with the contractor. The southern
pine is the more costly where the
market is open.
