QUIT new UlM QUICK
DR." E. C. Wilson Found Out Some
Things in That City; Returned
the Fees.

New Ulm, June 12.-When
brought before City Justice B. H.
Deters Monday morning to answer
to the charge of beating his board
bill at the Grand hotel, DR." E. C.
Wilson whose real name is Dard,
admitted that technically he was
guilty but morally was not. He has
the appearance of a RUDE rather
than that of smooth guy Imbued
with the idea that it was incumbent
upon him to help relieve the suffer,
ings of humanity, he started out as
a chiropodist and also took orders
for braces and supports.
In New Ulm he learned for the
first time that he ought to have a
license to parade as doctor. He
evidently got scared and pulled out
suddenly Thursday, but promised by
letter to be back in few days. He
was caught at Fairfax Saturday by
Sheriff julius who went over there
with an auto and brought him back
to New Ulm the same day and lodg-
ed him in jail. Mr.. Dard telegraph
ed his wife at Hesper, Iowa, for
money and she sent him $25.
He returned all the moneys he had
collected from citizens, paid his
board bill, sheriff's fees amounting
to $15.25 and the justice fees. This
cleaned him out almost completely
and a dollar was returned to him to
enable him to get out of town. He
was fined $50 and costs and sent
ence suspended upon his promise to
leave the city at once which he did,
a sadder but wiser man.

PROPOSE MASS MEETING
The Anti-Eberhart Folks Would EIimi.
nate All the Opposing Candi-
dates But One.

Three possible entries in the re
publican race may increase the
number of candidates for governor
Journal. State Auditor S. G. liver
son, Fred B. Snyder of Minneapolis
and e. T. Young, former attorney
general, all are said to be consider
ing the question. Had these three
or any one of them entered the field
several months ago, it is not likely
that the three candidates now in
the open against Governor A. O.
Eberhart would have come out
Should all three of the possibilities
enter, it would divide hopelessly the
opposition to the state machine.
In view of this condition it was
suggested today by some prominent
republicans that a state mass meet
ing be called together after the
legislature adjourns for the avowed
purpose of picking one anti-machine
candidate to make the race and eli
minating the others. All the can
didates and their friends would be
invited to such a conference.
F. B. Snyder and E. 7. Young, il
is understood, are only waiting to
see whether the legislature passes
a satisfactory primary law. S. G
Iverson said some time ago that he
would not be a candidate, but that
was before the extra session was
called, and the auditor is said to be
sanguine over his prospects in q
direct primary campaign.

LIKE A SUICIDE
Young Man Named Snyder Found Dead
When Members Of Family Return
Home From Church.

Two fatal shootings occurred in the
country the past week, says the
Window Citizen. The first one was
in Rose Hill, on Sunday, when a
young man named Snyder, about
twenty-one years of age, was found
dead upon the return of the family
from church. All had gone but the
young man, and when they came
home his body was found in the
stairway No reason is assigned for
the act, if self destruction it be-
and it is thought by members of the
family not to have been a case OF
suicide, and yet no one is suspicioned
as doing the act.
The second accident took place
at the home of Roy Potter in Am.
boy township. ,--Mr. Potter had been
out with a twenty-five rifle a few
home put it in the barn, after tax.
ing out all the cartridges, as he
supposed The little boys, the older
five years of age and the younger
two, were playing about the barn,
Mr.. Potter not being far away. The
older of the children got hold of the
rife and was pointing it at the
younger, the little fellow saying
"Shoot, shoot" The older boy did
then pulled the trigger, and the
younger dropped to the ground, hav.
ing been shot through the breast,
one cartridge having been left in
the rifle. In spite of all that could
be done, the lad lived but about
three-quarters of an hour.

Given Right Kind of Sentence
BY the Court.

Smith, school teacher, who has
taught in several Minnesota and
South Dakota schools, yesterday was
convicted of an offense against a
thirteen-year-old girl and sentenced
for an indeterminate period of from
seven to thirty years in state prison

thirty-days stay of execution was
denied. ~.
The case was brought first to the
attention of the Humane society.
Neighbors had complained that the
Smith baby was being neglected,
and an investigation by Officer Bean
resulted in the discovery of the
other offense.
Smith has taught schools at Svea
and GAINESVILLE, Mimi, and Athel and

Der, after the senate, in regular seS.

it from the table, nor did he make a
move in that direction.
Governor Turns Loose.
Governor Eberhart's denunciation,
which in a measure is anticipatory
of the debate that will ensue when
the resolution is called up for de-
bate, is addressed to the senate, and
is as follows:
"My attention has been called to
resolution before you, calling on
me to communicate to you all ap-
pointments to office made by me
since the last session of the senate.
Such appointments will be commune
Gated to you at the proper time.
"The resolution in question can
have but one purpose, and that is to
divert the attention of the people
from the issue in which the whole
state is interested and for which this
session has been specifically called.
Reduced to it's simplest terms, the
resolution is merely an effort to oc-
cupy the valuable time of the senate
in useless controversies over politi-
cal patronage, rather than the con-
sideration of the constitutional rights
of the people, to the end that they
may secure equal representation in
the legislative branch of our govern
ment.
Patronage the Least Important.
"The people of this state are
clearly entitled to equal representa-,
ton in the legislature and the i'm
mediate consideration by the senate
of reapportionment and pther pro,
gressive legislation now pending is
of vastly greater Importance to the
people than political patronage.
'1n organizing the senate combine
for the purpose of defeating legisla-
tive reapportionment, there is clear.
ly a refusal to perform a duty i'm,
posed by the constitution, as well
as a reputation of express pledges
made to the people in the platforms
of both political parties.
""The action of the senate in re.
gard to reapportion presents such a
clear example of wilful disregard OF
public duty as will meet the severe
condemnation of all fair-minded vot
ers of the state"

Executive Applied Verbal Lash TO
Lyon County Senator,
Yesterday.
Told SOlOns TO Do Business For
People; Quit Playing
Politics.

ST. Paul, June Ex-Governor Eber-
hart yesterday executed flank
movement and turned his batteries
full upon Senator o. A. Lende of
Lyon county and then proceeded
to rake the so-called senate COM
bine" for the decided stand each has
taken against reapportionment.
The governors attack was a coun-
ter demonstration to the demand
contained in Lende's resolution in,
troduced last week calling upon the
executive to furnish to the senate
for it's approval the list of the ap-
pointments he had made since the
adjournment of the regular session.
In a communication read before
the senate, the governor called upon
Senator Lende to quit useless con-
troversies over political patronage
and to devote his energies to 'the
consideration of the constitutional
rights of the people,"
The governor characterized the ac-
ton of the senate combine" de-
feating legislative reapportionment,
as a "wilful disregard of public
duty" He predicts that the attitude
the senate has assumed will meet
the severe condemnation of all fair
minded voters of the state.
Lende Made No Reply.
During the reading of the com
munication, all eyes in the senate
turned toward the member from
Lyon county. Senator Lende colored
red, but made no reply. The situa-
ton seemed strained.
The resolution introduced by Sena-
tor Lende looked harmless on the
face, but there were those who fear
ed it contained a "woodchuck." Sen
ator Lende is one of the strongest
anti-Eberhart men in the senate,
and it was inferred that he aimed
particularly at James Nash of Min
neapolis; appointed by the governor

TORRENT OF WATER (

Great Loss Of Life May Have o.
CURED at Buffalo, Wy0.

Sheridan, Wyo., June. ia wall oil
water from a cloudburst in the noun
tains swept down Clear Creek canyon
onto the town of Buffalo, partly wreck
ing the place and presumably causing
a number of drownings. At last &C
counts the water was entering the
second story windows of the telephone
exchange and all communication had
entirely ceased.
Buffalo Is large inland town, hav
ing about 5000 population. 1t is sit

while only few blocks wide, the town
Is more than mile long. The canyon
sides are steep and high.
The telephone operator at Buffalc

wave of water had swept down the
canyon, carrying away many brick
blocks. Many people had been
drowned, but no idea of the number
was obtainable.
THAT water is now flowing into this

OLD BUILDING STANDS
All Others Condemned BY the State
Fire MarshaPs Deputies Have
Been Raced.

All buildings with the exception
of one, that were condemned in
Mankato by the state fire marshal's
deputies have been razed. That one
still standing is the old American
house at the corner of Second and
Main street. The date for tearing
down this building is problematical,
as the owners object to it's destruc-
ton.
1t has been discovered that the
law contemplates that the owners
of condemned buildings shall be CIV
en- a hearing, and they are permit
ted to show cause why the struc-
lures should not be torn down.
1t appears that in the present
instance all the owners of the
American house were not served
with notices by the state fire mar
shal's office, as the law provides,
and this formality must be gone
through with before any further
step can be taken. Meanwhile the
building is standing, an eyesore and
menace to adjoining property.

From Wednesdays Daily.

From wednesdays Ddiiy.
1t was reported about the Mer-
chants last night that S. G.. Iverson
would file for the republican nomi-
nation for governor under the pri-
mary law, says The st. Paul Pioneer
Press. A state official who would
not allow his name to be used de-
clared that Mr.. Iverson had told
him he would do so. Mr.. Iverson
has received several hundred let
tiers urging him to become a candi-
date. The state auditor will make
no public statement on the matter
now. He still has two years of his
term as auditor to serve.
E. T. Young, when informed last
evening that the senate had passed
a primary bill, would not declare
his intentions. He said he had not
quite convinced himself as yet. Mr..
Young has received unsolicited
pledges of support from all parts
of the state.

North Front street last night to

who made themselves too objection
able at the evening reception, given
after the marriage of Mr.. Edward
Perry and Miss Katherine Schmidt.
1t appears that three different crowds
of youngsters gathered there at
three different times, but the people
in the house did not mind the first
two as they acted within reason.
However, the last crowd became toe
noisy, and Officer Romack hied him
self to the scene to scatter them.
