meeting of the Tri-State Postma3ters'
association, Postmaster A. J. Veigel

trustees of the postal savings deposit
tory, relative to establishing postal
savings bank in Mankato, an appli-
cation having been placed before the
board during the past year Mr..

all likelihood savings bark would
be established here about September

The great problem of automobile
lighting has been solved by Mr.. A..
A. Meyer, who has made Mankato
his headquarters for the past two
years and who acts as managing
salesman for the Pilot Acetylene
Gas Generator company of Chicago.
Mr.. Meyer has invented an auto
matte gas generator for automobile
lighting which feeds the carbide in
the water instead of feeding the
water onto the carbide. This gen
orator is automatic in action and
all that is necessary is to press a
button on the dash of the car to
light the lights and start the gen
orator and also to press a button
to extinguish the light and stop
the generator from generating more
gas. The cost of operating this
generator will not exceed 81 for
five hundred hours light 1t is be-
lieved that this industry will re-
quire large factory to supply the
demand of same and it is possible
that the factory would be located in
Mankato, if the people of Mankato
will show an interest in this mat
ter.

After an examination before Judge
Evan Hughes of the probate court
this morning, Mrs. Rosa Burnett was
committed to the State insane hos
pital at ST. Peter, having been found
demented
Mrs. Burnett came 20 Mankato
about three weeks ago and has since
been employed as domestic. Sac
formerly resided in Jackson. From
that city, she was committed to the
ST. Peter hospital some years ago
and was dismissed last September
as cured.
AT the time of her previous com
mitment, her three children were
taken from her and sent to the
school at Owatonna. 1t is thought
that Mrs. Burnett brooded over her
troubles, especially the loss of her
children, until she again became I'M
balanced
Late last evening she was found
wandering about the vicinity of
North Fifth street and taken into
custody. Mrs. Burnett told the po-
lice that she was looking for her
children. Mrs. Burnett appeared to
be insane and was taken before
Judge Hughes today.
Communication with the authori-
ties at Jackson disclosed the fact
that Mrs. Burnett's husband is a
county ward at that place. They
allege that Mrs. Burnett left that
city some time ago but that they
had been unable to get traces Of
her.

An attempt was made on the life

An attempt was made on the life
of o. Nj. Carlson of Iosco, Waseca
county, few evenings since. Mr..
Carlson stated that he was shot at
four times, two of the bullets pass
ing through the crown of his felt
hat and another one through the
sleeve of his coat just below the
ton he took off his hat and display
ed the two bullet holes and pointed
out the one through his coat sleeve.
Mr.. Carlson related the circum
stances of the affair. He and his
wife and hired man came in from
milking about ten o'clock After en-
tering the house Mr.. Carlson re-
called that he had not closed his
dove house and started out to per-
form this duty.
Carlson Saw a Man.
When he reached the yard his at
tention was attracted by an object
down by the roadside. He watched
it for a moment and satisfied him.
self that it was a man creeping to-
ward his house. This struck him as
a peculiar performance and he quick
" returned to his house and got his
gun. When he returned to the yard
the man had shifted his position,
which the more firmly convinced Mr..
Carlson that he was bent on mis-
chief.
Carlson Shot At.
In order to get a better line on
the fellow, as Mr. Carlson expressed
it, he took a sort of circle about
his yard and was working up to-
ward the fellow when the fellow
fired a couple of shots in rapid sue
cession at Mr.. Carlson. Mr.. Carl
son then lodged behind tree where
he stood for few moments when
he cautiously bent forward to see
where his enemy was located when
two more shots were fired at him.
Mr.. Carlson then tried to use his
gun, but it refused to work and he
fastened to the house.

Miss Violet Atchison has been at
tending house party at Minnetonka
which was given by Mr.. and Mrs
SERVER of Minneapolis. There were
sixteen in the party-eight young la
dies and a like number of young
men, all students of Carleton col
lege, Northfeld. The pleasant af-
fair came to a sudden ending last
night in rather tragic manner. One
of the young men, Edwin P. Nelson,
was drowned while in bathing with
George Smith. His body was recov-
cred and the rescuers worked over
him more than an hour in the hope
of resuscitating him, but their eff.
forts were of no avail.
Mr.. Nelson was the son of J. E.
Nelson, a merchant at Albert Lea
He was twenty-five years old and is
said to have been one of the bright
est young men in that city. This was
his third year at Carleton. He was
preparing himself for the profession
of law.
Miss AtchiSon is daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George Atchison of this

One dead turkey-a dead white
turkey-has given the conscience of
one Mrs. Andrew Persons of Morri-
son county so much unrest that she
has returned after eighteen years,
determined to seek forgiveness or
to pay for the turkey Robert Madi-
gan of jamestown, member of the
county board, is the individual who
has it within his power to apply the
healing balm to wounded con-
science.
Hark Back to the Past.
Eighteen years ago, Mrs. Persons
was a neighbor of Mr.. Madigan. Mrs.
Persons prided herself on her imacu-
late, up-to-date, sanitary garden. A
flock of sturdy white turkeys was
the source of great joy to the heart
of Mr.. Madigan. The turkeys were
noble birds with connoisseur's taste
for choice vegetables. Temptingly
and in close propinquity lay the gar
den of Mrs Persons, rich in the best
of the land.
Lure of the Forbidden.
The lure of the forbidden fruit was
omnipotent, and, like the common
ancestor, the turkeys could not re-
sist.
CHANGING to see the marauding BIZ
peds, Mrs. Persons summoned her
faithful dog to her aid. pointed out
the leader of the invading forces
and sounded "to the charge" The
faithful canine did his work well.
When the smoke of battle had clear
ed away the prize turkey lay fallen,
cold and dead.
Will Make Good the Loss.
Mrs. Persons moved to a farm
north of Little Falls soon after.
That was eighteen years ago. But
he memory of that dead turkey
still haunts her sleeping hours and
;he has returned to make good the
oss.
