ONE AUTO IN FLAMES:
OTHER TURNS TURTLE
AUTO MASS OF RUINS.

What is believed to have been a
leak i'm the gasoline tank of G. K.
Mayors automobile, caused the self
igniting of the machine, and burn
ing up practically everything. 1t is
thought that the gasoline dripped
down onto the exhaust pipe or the
cutout, both of which were very
hot, resulting in the fire. Mr.. and
Mrs. C. X. Mayer. Mrs. Wilbur Tay-
lor and Miss Minnie Dittner, were
returning from Madison Lake, and
about seven o'clock last evening,
when at the top of the Windmiller
hill, Mrs. Taylor remarked that she
smeled something burning. Mr..
Mayer thought the odor came from
a motorcycle which was passing.
Near the bottom of the hill, Miss
Dittner happened to. look around and
saw flames of fire shoot up from
under the seat and around the side
of the car. Mr.. Mayer, who was
driving, turned to one side of the
road and put on the brakes. The wOm-
en- thought that sitting in the car
with the flames shooting up about
them was little too dramatic for
them, and without even stopping to
open the doors, leaped out of the
burning machine to the ground. Mrs.
Taylor was considerably bruised.
The occupants of the car thought
that there would be an explosion, as
dramatic close, and wanted to
get behind the scenes before the
finale, so they made the 100 yard
dash in double-quick time. Mr.
Mayer remained within short dis
lance of the car to warn all who
might pass to keep away, at the
same time sending a boy on a mo-
torcycle to the top of the hill to
telephone for the fire department.
When the firemen arrived, the car
was mass of flames, and little
could be done to save it. A few
chemicals were used Immediately and
water was turned on from a line
of hose laid from the corner of Sixth
street and Madison avenue, 700 feet
away, but the fire had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible to
save the machine, and only the
framework remains.
Mr.. Mayer had made several i'm
provements on his fine forty-horse
power Kissel car, which originally
cost $2,250, and had purchased fix
lures to the total amount of $500.
Mr. Mayer purchased the car for
$1,7OO, carried $1,000 insurance, so
that the loss is about 500.

MAYORS DOG
Hunts Carl, Canine Policeman, Has
Troubles of His Own; One
Animal Bit Him.
From Wednesdays Daily.

from wednesdays DaiIy.
Every man has troubles of is own.
Hunts Carl, the newly appointed
catcher, has found this to be true.
Yesterday, in his endeavors to make
good" he took the dog belonging to
Mayor Charles Taylor into custody.
He thought he had made at least one
arrest of the canine species, when a
friend pointed out to him, that the
dog had a tag, but that it was on the
inside of the dogs chain. He tried
to take two other dogs too, but these
belonged to farmers, who began to
deliver themselves of some choicy
adjectives for his attempting to take
their dogs
During yesterday, Hunts Carl had
other troubles. While standing on
the sidewalk trying to look pleasant,
bull pup came up to him, and just
to show how much respects he had
for dog catchers, he tore piece of
skin away from the fieshy part of
Carts anatomy.

MACHINE AN ACROBAT.

In attempting to pass a motorcycle
last evening, George Allyn had an
experience with his automobile that
he will not forget soon. He was driv-
ing from Madison Lake to Mankato
with Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Shell and
S. B. knott While passing near the
Eagle Lake cemetery, he undertook
to pass motorcycle. He turned
to one side a little too far out of
the road, the wheel slipped over the
bank and the machine went over
the bank, turning around twice in
it's downward course, passed over a
wire fence, and landed in field.
In sliding over the bank, all the
occupants except Mr.. Allyn were
thrown out. Mr.. Allyn was caught
in some of the rigging and had to
follow with the machine. Help was
near at hand, however, and those
who were thrown out, were picked
up and taken back to Madison Lake.
After the automobile had been
righted, it was found that the top
had been badly damaged, the wind
shield smashed, the tenders bent,
and the car broken up in several
places, giving one vision of ma
chine that had passed through sew
eral wars.
Mr. Allyn had some difficulty in
getting the automobile back to the
road, but he finally succeeded and
came on to Mankato last night.

TELLS HOW CONTESTS
WILL ALL BE HANDLED
Victor RoseWater Describes Ma
tionaI Committees Work.
WILL NOT STOP FOR LUNCH
One Long Continuous Session Each
Day Until Disputes Are Settled;
Precedents Cited.

Omaha, June 5.--Victor Rosewater,
acting chairman of the Republican ma.
tional committee, in signed state
ment, throws some light on how the
sessions of the national committee will
be held. He also cites precedent
to show why recently elected members
Of the committee should not be seated
until after the national convention in
Chicago Mr.. Rosewater says in part:
1T is now plain that while both the
Taft managers and the Roosevelt man.
ayers are loudly claiming to have
enough instructed and committed dele.
gates to control the convention and to
elect their preferenced candidate that
neither side has sufficient confidence
In it's claim to sit still and let the
other do the PROSECUTING. The next
part of the combat, therefore, is to be
before the national committee.
1.-The committee will hold it's ses-
sions from day to day continuously
from 10 o'clock in the morning until
or O'Clock in the afternoon. without
interruption even for lunch, which will
be served in an adjoining room to a
few at time as desired, so that the
presentation of contest may go right
along and all be within reach of a vote
at any moment.
I'm 1908 South Dakota chose by di-
rect primary its present member of
the Republican national committee.
The South Dakota member, Thomas
Thorson, had, four years ago, the same
kind of certificate of election, duly
embossed with the great seal of the
state, that my impatient successor is
carrying around with him under guard.
But Mr.. Thorson never thought to
supplant the preceding member from
South Dakota in advance of the con-
vention from which the title and au-
thority of the national committee is
regularly derived
While considerable discussion has
naturally been evoked in the news
papers generally by the peculiar pro-
posals of the impatient gentleman I
have yet to find any comment in any
newspaper offering him any word of
encouragement or consolation"
Speaking of arrangements for the
public at the Chicago convention Mr..
ROsewater says:
"The spectators will have the space,
with raised tiers of seats. running
around the edge of the building on the
first floor and all of the gallery. There
will be separate doors for the different
classes of people attending and no
opportunity for spectators to mix in
with the delegates and alternates."

Splitting on the sidewalks, high
ways, or in public places in Man
kato is under the ban of the law,
yet this violation is made on the
streets every day. The ordinance
regarding this is very strict and
specific. In walking up and down
South Front street, one does not
have to go far to see the sidewalks
decorated with large splotches of
tobacco juice, or the street with
expectorations, or cigaret stumps.
Especially is this true where a
group of men gather. Usually when
one sees group of men who are
smoking large variety of cigar
stumps. black tobacco juice and the
like, give evidence of their presence.
Young men and others who lounge
on South Front street have hobby
of tossing the cigaret stumps into
the gutter.
