Walter ]. Cummings. president Of
the Mankato Electric Traction com
pany, left this afternoon for his home
at Chicago, after spending two days
in Mankato, looking, over the com
pany's property. While here he has
been the guest of H, e. Hance, man
ager Of the company. =
Speaking of his visit, Mr.. Cum
mings said that the first improve
ment that would be made would be
the extension of the line to North
Mankato. This of course, brought in
the bridge question, which has re-
ceived. so much discussion of late
Mr.. Cummings thought that the rail
road companies might. be induced OF
compelled to raise their tracks, for
some distance, and then build sub.
way under these tracks. Mr.. Hance
stated that there was already two
per cent grade and, therefore, there
would be little possibility Of this be-
ing done.
IS. Suggestion BY Mr.. Hixon.
w. l.. HiXon, who was in, company
with Messrs. Hance and Cummings
this noon suggested that the lower
ing of the tracks sufficiently to build
an overhead bridge that would begin
flush at the foot Of Main street,
would prove the best. Mr.. Cum
mings agreed with this suggestion,
and thought that if the railroad COM
panies would do this, the street car
company would then build their line
into North Mankato.
would you build your line into
North Mankato, If two bridges, one
at Sibley Mound and the other below
the present bridge, were built?" he
was asked. ,
.., Favors Main Street Bridge.
"This plan does not interest us in
the least. The Main street bridge is
the only one that we care to have
anything to do with" he replied.
as there any probability of your
extending the line to ST. Peter"
II hardly think so. The North
Mankato extension is the first to re-
ceive our consideration, and as soon
as a good bridge is built we will
make this improvement" said Mr..
Cummings.
Mr.. Cummings was we'll pleased
with the company's business in Man.
kato after going over the entire
route, and inspecting the company's
property. When asked about the
payment of the $1,000 judgment in
favor of the late Fanny Fields, Mr..
Cummings would say nothing. He
refused to talk on the matter at all.
Wants Reasonable Settlement.
Attorney S. B. Wilson, who was
counsel for the late Miss Fields, stat
ed today that he had caused the
execution against the Mankato Elec-
trio Traction company to be issued,
but he had requested the sheriff not
to serve the papers for few days.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he did not
want to stop the operation of the
cars, and is willing to listen to a
reasonable proposition for the settle
ment of the judgment of more than
$1,000. Mr.. Wilson declared to The
Free Press today that unless favor
able settlement can be reached he
will have the execution served upon
the officers of the company.

| While Conrad Bierl, the ten year
! old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony
Bierl of 212 Rock street, was cross.
ing the railroad tracks at the Rock
street crossing he was struck down
by the engine of the southbound
Omaha passenger train No. "a. He
was standing on the track when
the train sped along and not think
ing that the train was moving SO
fast, thought he. could get out of the
way, but the engine struck him and
he was severely injured. The acct
dent occurred shortly after four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. .r
fThe little toe. of the left. foot was
cut off, and the bones in the left
foot crushed He suffered severe
cash from ear to ear on the head,
the cut being made in u circular
manner. No internal injuries were
sustained. '.t. - " -
oh> Carried Home BY Brother.
Bierl got up and walked for a
rod or so when his brother, who was
in the yard a short distance away,
came to him and carried him home.
DR.. Roy Andrews was called and he
dressed the wounds. The boy was
then taken to the hospital where he
is receiving treatment F..
When young Bierl was seen today
he claimed that the engineer did not
blow the whistle, and that the gates
we're not down. He was sliding, he
said, when the accident happened
and was standing just outside the
rail with his sled as the train
rushed on. ..
Claim 1t Was Switch Engine.
Switch engine No. 226 was passing
at the time and one of the switch
men on this engine said it was the
switch engine and not the passenger
engine that knocked the boy down.
This engine stopped after the boy
had been dragged a few feet. He
said that the gates were down, and
that the boy was able to walk a
few rods, when his brother, who was
shoveling snow in the yard, carried
him away. He is expected to re-
cover.

in one year, the second for $1,000,

that the water works fund will be
