An automobile in which a man and
a woman were riding ran into a
ditch and turned over here last night
The woman was injured and was
taken to a hospital, but remained
only few hours.
The couple gave their names as
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson, and it is
said they reside in Lake Mills,
Iowa. 1t is said Johnson is not
their name.
The car was left here for repairs.
Mr.. Johnson asserted he lost 500
and a gold watch, but no arrests
have been made.
Another arrest may be expected
in the Mankato arson case, accord
ing to Charles f. Keller, state fire
marsahl, whose ordered investigation
led to the arrest of Mrs. John Dol
son as accessory before the fact of
the alleged arson by Hugh Kelly,
says the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The fire marshal declared yester-
day afternoon that he is in posses
sion of the knowledge that Kelley
used an accomplice in firing the
Dolson house, and that the search
for the third member of the alleged
fire band may result in an arrest
of the accomplice soon.
Kelly has signed written comics
sion of firing the Dolson house, &C.
cording to the fire marshal, setting
forth that Mrs. Dolson wanted her
husband incinerated.
The alleged accomplice in the
Mankato arson case is said by the
fire marshal to have helped Kelly
obtain the kerosene and apply it to
the Dolson house before setting the
place afire. The marshal declares
the accomplice probably had no UNI
derstanding with Mrs. Dolson.

here are having a great revolution.
There are hundreds of bodies laying
in the woods. have an old pistol
and a sword l picked up from among
the skeletons. ..
1--WE are here to protect American
industries and to keep the railroad
running. We are camping in Man
aqua, the capital of Nicaragua. The
federals hold this place and the
rebels hold Leon, which is close by.
The armies of both sides are on the
firing line and you ought to see
them fight. They dig trenches and
get down in them and hold their
guns over their heads to shoot. All
you can see of them is their hands.
Fifty of us fellows could chase the
whole bunch into the ocean. They
are scared to death Of us.
1.-The time they do their killing
is in close quarters. Then they use
bolos, or big knives, something like
a corn knife.
You people don't need to worry
about me for I'll take care of my
self We are armed with rifles and
bayonets wherever we CO."
