County Surveyor Brooks is at
work preparing his report on state
road work in this county for the
past year, to send to the state high
way commission. 1t appears that not
as much work as usual was done,
because of the scarcity of labor,
work being SO plentiful that every
body wanting work found it. There
has been some grading done here
and there and some bridge work,
and there will be a chance to do a
lot of grayeling the coming winter.
Mr.. Brooks has just prepared a
map of Blue Earth county, showing
the state roads. These now cover
the county pretty thoroughly, except
in the southeast portion. When
these roads have all been completed
it will be easy to get to any part
of the county in any kind OF
weather.

This afternoon Judge Pfau said
that he had intended to allow the
Jurors to go about separately, as
in other cases, but because of some
things that had come to him he
had concluded to make an order
segregating the jury.
f. F. Ellsworth opened the case
to the jury for the state. He has
been retained by the Hack family
to assist County Attorney Schmitt
in the prosecution of the case.
Opened Case to Jury.
Mr.. Ellsworth spoke with his us.
ual deliberateness and eloquence.
He started by reading the indict.
ment charging Charles Pollei with
murder in the second degree. The
Indictment alleges that Pollei kill
ed Hubert Hack without premedi-
tation. but with the purpose and
intention of effecting his death when
he shot at him.
The jury has right to convict
on lesser degree in charges Of
murder or manslaughter. where it
does not feel that the evidence war
rants the charge in the Indictment.
However. the state expected to
prove every charge exactly as it is
made in the indictment, and to
show that the homicide occurred
exactly as charged. The defendant
was a duly appointed patrolman of
the city of Mankato and was per.
forming his duties on July 3 last.
Hubert Hack was resident of
North Mankato. living in the house
where he was born, and was TWEEN
ty-three years old. He was not
vicious and had never done any
thing wrong. He was a big, strap

and had been so employed for a
number of years.
Wilson Interrupted.
Mr.. Wilson interrupted to ask that
the state go on record that it in
tends to go into the character of
Hack, and not argue on it and
then object to the defense going
into it.
Mr.. Ellsworth said that it would

together. Pollei, it would be shown.
knew where HACKS home was and
that he could be found there after
the days work was done, the same
as other citizens can be found in
their homes.
The state would show that Hack
stole over the bridge after supper
on July 3, and went around the
streets in his usual way. 1t was
the night before the Fourth-a night
a good deal like Saturday night, in
that more people were on the street
and the retail stores were open.
Hack, it would be shown, walked
up Front street and met certain
young women whom he knew and
visited or talked with some of these
that later. some other women, see.
ing it, made some desultory remark
such as What do YOU think of
that" Hack had hold of the hand
of the lady be was talking with
and some remarks were passed by
the women and Hack, showing that
the latter did not care to mix with
the women, to judge by their own
version of the conversation Then

said by Hack, perhaps, reported
that he had insulted them.
