gendarmerie have for long sought in

talents and services at the disposition
Of the Turkish authorities. The brig

He says it is against the wishes of his
heart to give up his calling, but "the
audacity Of these Italian brigands"-
an expression which frequently occurs

Ottoman empire and brutality selling
an 1slamic province. impel him to offer
his services, with those of his band,
consisting of hundred men, to

new COAL FIND IN MINNESOTA.

DISCOVERY. ##

eral Near Albert
Lea. T. E

Minneapolis-The traffic depart.
ment of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad will investigate report that
coal has been discovered on Henry
Menrich's farm in Mansfield township,
Freedom county, Minnesota. Dis
patches from Albert Lea brought the
news that large deposits of coal had
been found and that natural gas had
been discovered in Riceland and Free
born county townships.
According to the reports the natural
gas was in sufficient quantities to
warrant the belief that much coal was
below the surface of the earth. Farm
ers owing property in Freedom coun-
ty, it was said, were planning to sink
shafts and develop the mines.
DR.. Emmons of the state geological
survey said yesterday that if favorable
reports of preliminary operations We're
received the discovery would be inves-
tigated by the state. In the opinion of
Chief Clerk Johnston, in Vice Presi-
dent Bierds Office at the Minneapolis
& St. Louis, the coal would probably
be used locally and not enter into &C.
tive competition with Pennsylvania
coal fields.
Will Investigate Immediately.
:: Mr.. Johnston said that the investi,
cation was to be taken up by the
traffic officials Of the road Immediately
None OF those interested in the propo.
sition were ready to tell what plans
would be developed until the actual
status of the coal was known. Should
the material be found in sufficient
quantities the Minneapolis & St. Louis
road would be one of the chief distrib.
uters. Should the hopes of the Free.
born county farmers be realized
Minneapolis would probably compete
with Duluth as a coal centralizing
point for the Northwest.

TO TEST COMMISSION PLAN.
Mankato Tax Payers Bring Suit In su
preme Court.

st. Paul.-Mankato, the largest city
in Minnesota to adopt the commission
form of government, was made the de-
PENDANT in an action in the state SUI
preme court to test the right of. it's
five commissioners to continue to hold
the reins of government.
The suit is brought by Attorney
General Simpson at the instance of a
number of taxpayers of Mankato,
headed by August Blissenbach, who
have agreed to pay all expenses Of the
suit. Mr.. Simpsons petition request
ed the five commissioners now in
charge of the city government to ap-
pear and show cause why they should
continue in Office.
The action as brought by Mr.. Simp-
son is really test of the 1909 law au-
thorizing the commission form of mu-
nicipal government and it's relation to
the state constitution. .
Taxpayers to Stand Expense.
A test of the law was requested of
Mr.. Simpson some weeks ago, Mime
apo1is joining in the request. Mr..
Simpson, however, demurred against
taking the initiative unless the Man
kato commission would agree to be
sued. This it would not do. Several
taxpayers of Mankato came forward,
however, and agreed to stand spon-
sor for the action. They even put up
a bond guaranteeing expense
"The petition for the suit" said
Mr.. Simpson, was sufficient for this
Office and I decided to bring the suit
without delay. The right to the new
form of government is a serious ques-
ton and should be settled at once
Many cities and towns are interested
and It is necessary to have a final de-
termination before they can take ad-
vantage of it.
Il shall proceed on the claim that
the law is unconstitutional and it is
for this reason that I have asked for
the writ OF. quo warranto. It puts the
matter up to the court and will bring
forth a speedy answer"
