Gerhard Sieberg, a Mankato town
ship farmer, came to the city yester-
day afternoon with his head done up
and complained that his neighbor.
Charles Otto, had struck him over
the head with clevice, cutting a
cash three inches long and also in
jured his hand He consulted Coun-
ty Attorney Schmitt and got out a
warrant against Otto, accusing him
of assault in the second degree.
Mr. Otto was arrested and brought
to the city late yesterday afternoon,
and was arranged this forenoon, and
his preliminary hearing was set for
Tuesday at 10 a. m, and he was re-
leased on $500 bail. He has employed
A. r. Pau, Jr., as his attorney.
The trouble seems to have occur
red over some road work. Mr.. Otto
told the court today that he had
trouble with his neighbOr for twenty
eight years, but did not know what
it was all about. He said that he
would like to settle the matter out

=. Last evening William E. Schaffer
of Wells, former resident of this
city, then travelling for the Macbeth
& Gardner Co., lost his suit case.
He was at the Milwaukee depot, and
wrote some letters there and drew
checks which he enclosed, and put
the books and papers back in the
suit case and walked over to the
postoffice and mailed the letters. On
his return the suit case was gone.
He had left it in the waiting room,
and he thinks that someone saw him
transacting business and took the
suit case while he was absent.
The suit case contained a pair of
gray striped trousers with So or So
in the pockets, a SIS pair Of new
Oxford shoes, a shirt, some station
cry, and papers worth $1,000 to the
owner, but of no value to anyone
else The suit case is of dark leather
and worth S. or Sc. Mr.. Schaffer
notified the police, but search along
the river bank and in the usual
tramp haunts failed to locate it.

Paulos, Louis Pappas, Gust Gallas,
Frank Grivas, Frank Bohnrose, Will
helm Elios and Peter PanagOs.
The money is alleged to have
been handed to Stamatos to pay
bills owed to Eric Engwalson. The
