Deputy Sheriff Flanagan, who went
to Lake City Thursday with a war
rant for Benedict J. Sendner, pri-
vate in Company ID, ran up against
a council of war, hastily called after
the deputy's arrival, and was de-
MED permission to bring Sendner
back to st. Paul
Sendner is wanted on a warrant
sworn out by II. NJ. Heath route
agent of the Wells Fargo Express
company, charging him with having
embezzled $565.99 while in the EN-
ploy of the company.
Say Soldiers Are Immune.
The chief spokesman at the coun-
| Gil of war were Major Erie Luce
Iof Minneapolis and Captain and
Quartermaster Arthur j. Stobbart of
st. Paul. 1t was decided that men
of the First regiment while in camp
were immune from arrest by dep
uty sheriff, and Mr.. Flanagan was
told so, gently but firmly.
| Before leaving Lake City Mr.. Elan
the telephone and volunteered to lay
siege to the military camp if so or
dered, but he was told to return
home and await further orders
Mr.. Baer yesterday took the mat
ter to the attorney generals office
and was referred to County Attorney
OBrien, with the statement that the
attorney general would act with the
county attorney.
What O'Brien Says.
Mr. O'Brien was busy in crimina
court, but he took time to say tina
the First Minnesota officers would
be required either to turn ovel
Sendner to deputy sheriff on de
mand, or keep the private under
guard for delivery when the regi
ment breaks camp on June 90 81"
Mr. O'Brien said the easiest way
out of the difficulty would be fol
Governor Eberhart to issue an ordel
to Adjutant General Wood directing
the officers to deliver Sendner to {
deputy sheriff at the boundary of the
military reservation.
The First regiment officers have
set a precedent in this action. Man!
similar arrests have been made a
Fort Smelling.
Must Yield Him Up.
Mr.. Baer took up the matter will
the governors office yesterday after
noon, also with the attorney genera
and the adjutant general. The attor
ney generals department promptly
ruled that man is not exempt from
arrest because he is a member OF
the militia, and Adjutant General F
B. Wood thereupon issUed orders
that the officers of the regiment
must let Sendner go back with the
sheriff? Baer will go to the camp
/ at Lake City this morning and brins
I him back.

pany of Marietta, Ohio. Mason claim
ed to be the agent for mail boxes
He ordered number of boxes from
the Ohio concern. They were sent,
accompanied by bill of lading and
draft. Replying to the company,
Mason stated that he could not
meet the draft" but would send a
letter of credit. This was agreeable
to the company. The letter of credit
was forwarded, but the signatures
of Wintheiser and Robel which ap-
peared thereon were forged by Ma
son.
Will Be Tried on Another Charge.
Mason will be tried on the charge
of grand larceny in the second de-
gree. This is the charge that covers
the check for $500 that was received
! by Miss Anna Cole and which was
subsequently deposited in the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce and upon
which Miss Cole obtained $3.50, she
turning the money over to Mason.
The authorities claim to have
the goods on Mason" in the bank
check case. 1t is reported that they
have in their possession portion
of a check which it is alleged was
made out by Mason and from which
the man Peterson copied the one
that was sent 20 Miss Anna Cole
with the letter advising her to accept
from a former lover $500. The state
| claims, so it is reported, that the
partial check is in Mason's handwrit
ing and was endorsed on the back
in his handwriting. 1t is the cOnten-
| ton of the state that Mason con-
cocted a plan whereby he hoped tc
secure $500 by forgery. His scheme
was to throw the officers off the
track by having the man Peterson
/ fill out a check for the amount OF
! $500; also the framing up of letter
signed by fictitious name which
was sent to Miss Cole; then to use
! her as the medium through which
! he would secure the cash from the
/ bank.
/ The story of the check deal and
| the events following have all been
published in The Daily Free Press.
1t was expected that the trial OF
Mason would be reached late this aft

There has been sufficient moisture
and small grains, especially corn are
further advanced than previous
years.
Redwood Falls Branch-The hot
winds Friday caused some damage,
estimated wheat 10 per cent, other
grains 20 per cent, with corn pro-
crossing nicely.
Evan Marshall Line-Hot weather
damaged grain to some extent, esti-
mated wheat lopez cent and other
grain 20 per cent, on high sandy
less. -.
Sleepy Eye to Marshall Via
Tracy-Moisture has not been so
plentiful as in other parts, conse-
quently the hot weather caused
more damage. Wheat is damaged
about Is per cent, corn is doing
nicely, while barley and oats were
admaged 35 per cent; pastures very
dry.
"Vasa Branch, Wanda, Babasco,
Seaforth and Vesta-The damage on
light soil, which comprises consid-
cradle of the total, will be about
Is per cent on wheat, barley and
flax; 20 per cent on oats; corn in
good condition.
Marshall to Watertown-Oat crop
light; wheat, fax and barley about
same average as last year, while
corn is excellent
"Ghent and Minneota-Wheatd dam
aged 10 per cent; flax, barley and
oats 20 per cent; no damage to
corn.
Porter to Watertown-Wheat and
corn sustained very little damage,
whereas barley and fax were dam

"Canby-Wheat, corn and fax

"Gary-Oats and barley light,
wheat no damage, corn never better,
flax practically no damage.
"Moritz, Altamint, Goodwin and

Tracy to Verdi-Wheat damaged
10 per cent; barley and oats % per
cent; corn, no damage.
Hendricks Line-Condition of all
grain excellent, but need moisture.
"Sanborn-The near vicinity of
Sanborn, where moisture has been
light, the crops have been damaged
slightly. South of Darfur indications
are better and, while some damage
to fax and oats is reported, cOndi-
tons in general are fair.
There was some rain June 16,
followed by cooler weather, in. the
district wherein I'VE report damage,
which was very beneficial and ma
terially overcame considerable of
the damage.
Reports indicate that wheat with
stood the hot winds better than
barley and oats, and prospects are
that this grain was not damaged
as badly as at first reported. With
the continuation of cool weather and
additional moisture in this district
the damage will not be as great as
estimated.
