urer of the normal school for a
number of years.
While a resident of st. Paul, be-
fore coming to Mankato, Mr.. Hall
was a close friend of James J. Hill,
the railroad magnate and empire
builder. At that time Mr.. Hill was
a young man and just mapping out
his career.
Mr.. Hall was one of the builders
of Mankato. He came here at an
early date and assisted in laying the
foundation stone upon which rests
the superstructure of this enterpris-
ing community. His activities in
behalf of this city were in evidence
everywhere. He was a toiler, death
alone interfering with his daily Ia

PAT is SENT TO THE PEN

st. Peter, July 19.-Pat Masterson
held in the Nicollet county Jail on
the charge of burglary in the third
degree, was taken before Judge 1.
M. Olsen yesterday afternoon and
pleaded guilty to the crime. The
court gave Masterson an indetermin-
ate sentence in the Saltwater peni-
tertiary, and the length of his term
will depend upon his behavior while
in prison.
The crime for. which Masterson is
to be punished was committed on
June 7, 1911, when the prisoner
broke into the home of P. Henrietta
of North Mankato, and stole a pair
of trousers, a pair of shoes and a
rifle. A day or so later he was
arrested at Mankato for being drunk
and disorderly, and was sent to the
Blue Earth county Jail. While the
Mankato police were searching for
the thief who had robbed the Hen
rietta home, MastersoI was wear
ing the stolen pants in the county
jail
Had Thrilling Experience.
After being released Masterson
went to LIE Sueur, and there, on
the night of July 20, 1911, Harry
Riggs of Ottumwa, Iowa, was MUIR
dered. Masterson had been seen in
the dead mans company, and was
arrested charged with the murder.
Four days later evidence was dis
covered which seemed to incriminate
a negro boy named Hal Green, but
Masterson was held as a witness
and testified at the trial at LIE Sueur
Center.
At it's close he was set at liberty
by the LIE Sueur authorities, and
nothing further was heard of him
until last May. Then the body of
an unknown man was found float
ing in the Minnesota river near
Mankato, and the Mankato papers
stated that it had been identified as
that of Masterson. On the day fol-
lowing the appearance of this piece
of news Masterson made the serious
error of visiting the newspaper Of
fees and denying that he was dead.
His arrest for the Henrietta rob-
berry followed, and he has occupied
a cell in the county Jail since May
80 Masterson was taken to Still
water today.

JUMPED WHILE ASLEEP

P. J. McGuiggan, former proprie-
tor of the Merchants Hotel in this
city, and known to everybody prac-
tically, met with a bad accident at
Easton Wednesday night of last
week, says The Winnebago Enter
prise.
1t seems that Mr.. McGuiggan had
driven to Easton on business. A rain
came up, and he decided to spend
the night there. After retiring at
the hotel, he dreamed that his team
was running away, and that his wife
was calling to him to stop the
horses. He arose In his sleep and
jumped out Of the window in his
room on the second floor, crashing
through the glass and falling to the
ground. Even the shock of the fall
did not awaken him, and he fell
down cellar after regaining his feet.
Mr.. McGuiggan returned to his
home at Mapleton Thursday, and it
was found necessary to place his left
foot in plaster cast. Although no
bones were broken, he suffered great
ly from the jar, and his left leg was
swollen and discolored. That Mr.. Nc
Guiggan was not killed is indeed a
miracle, as he is heavy man, and
the fall was considerable. His many
friends here are pleased that he is
still in the land of the living after
his trying experience.

A. H. Messer, Ben Spaulding, Sam
Fowler and Pat Sheehan went to
Lake Washington yesterday to fish.
They caught plenty of fish, but all
but three were below the required

say that they caught at least a
hundred fish which measured from
twelve to thirteen inches, but gave
up about five o'clock and started for
home. Mr.. Messer had brought the

worked for a considerable time and
this morning about eight o'clock the
machine commenced to cough and

party to get into the machine and
they would move on toward Man

would be a good idea to stay at the

did not run any risk and brought
them home before the automobile
changed it's mind about going.

HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLES

Hyattsville, Md.-"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp.
There was an ashy place on his head
about the size of a ten-cent piece, and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head were these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm, but were
porous-like. The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal. His
head had gotten so that it was just a
mass Of mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when took
off his night-cap, the hair and flesh
came off at the same time. / really
thought he would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for five weeks, it
would itch and burn until I thought
he would go into commissions.
