FELL INTO AREA VAULT
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Michael Maloney, had the misfor-
tune to fall over the light board
railing and into the area vault which
gives light to the basement of the
Arcade saloon on South Front street
late yesterday afternoon. Maloney
entered the saloon from the front and
remained there but a short time,
and then went out through the rear
door,
No one thought anything more
about his departure, until the bar
tender heard someone fall, and rush
ing out to see what was the matter,
found Maloney at the bottom of the
ten-foot area vault, bruised and cut,
and with the blood flowing freely
from his face. A step ladder was
secured and parties went to the in
jured mans aid. He was lifted out
of the pit.
A physician was called and several
stitches were taken in cut on the
head. after which he was conveyed
to his home in a hack. He is a
well-digger and lives near Highland
park.
While Maloncy was being lifted
out of the areaway he was heard to
remark: 81 will sue the city for
this"

DRIVER BADLY INJURED
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
James Clemens, a hackdriver for
Eugene Coy, suffered a bad cut on
his head this afternoon by being
thrown from his seat on the hack
to the curb, when the team he was
driving became manageable. He
was coming down Washington street
and when between Fifth and Sixth
streets the horses began to kick,
probably because the hack pushed
down on them. The pole was rather
timber and doubled up considerably.
Clemens kept them in the street un-
til they came near the Emmanuel
hospital, when the hack hit the curb
and threw Clemens to the ground.
He was picked up and taken to
the hospital where it was found that
he had a cut about four inches long
on his scalp. The wound was dress
ed and another driver from the barn
brought him back in hack. Glenn
ems injury is not serious.
The runaway team dashed down
the street and when between Front
and Second streets ran into farm
er's wagon, damaging 1t and cutting
one of the runaway horses.

Monday morning, when he left Man

Monday morning for ST. Paul to get
he left ST. Paul at seven o'clock in
the evening and on the Northwest
ern limited arrived in Chicago on
Tuesday morning at seven o'clock.
He encountered a policeman in Chi
cago and asked if Raymond was still
in custody. The policeman replied
that Raymond had been released on a
writ of habeas corpus. Thinking
that this was true, he left immedi-
ately for Springfield, where he saw
Governor Charles S. Denen. 1t took
but forty-fve minutes for him to
look over two sets of requisition pa
pers so that he secured the extradi-
ton papers in a short time.
Hurried Back to Chicago.
However, there was no other train
back for Chicago until twelve o'clock
at night on Tuesday, and he took
that train, reaching Chicago at 1880
a. IN. the next day He went imme-
diately to the police station, and
there learned that Raymond had not
been released as told to him by the
policeman, but that he was being
held on the second grand larceny
warrant which had subsequently
been issued and mailed to Chicago
Turned Over to Sheriff.
Raymond was then brought to the
municipal court and there released
into the hands of Sheriff Osten. Mr.
Raymond said he did not want to
fight extradition papers and would
be willing to return on the last
charge of grand larceny preferred
by Mr.. Chamberlain, but claimed
stoutly that the automobile was his
and that he had bill of sale for it.
However, the party from the Hoerr
& Clements Auto company that went
to Chicago to return with the ma
chine, started back for Mankato to-
day, with the automobile, going by
wav of Milwaukee.
Sheriff Osten then brought Mr..
Raymond back on the Northwestern
railroad and arrived here, as stated.
Sheriff Osten said that he did not
get chance to go near the con-
ventiOn hall where the republicans
are having the fight of their lives,
but Chicago is in a whirl over the
convention. Mrs. Smith, mother of
Mrs. Raymond left Chicago for St.
Paul, presumably with the intention
of securing help for Mr.. Raymond
Raymond is now in possession of
the munificent sum of rs cents. He
states that Mrs. Raymond is abso-
lutely destitute
County Attorney Schmitt went to
Good Thunder this afternoon and
hence Raymond could not be ar
raigned, but it is believed that he
will be brought into the municipal
court tomorrow morning.
Raymond stated this afternoon that
he will engage an attorney and fight
the charges against him. He made no
mention of his brothers troubles at
TOmahawk, Wis.
The car which carried Raymond to
Chicago was turned over to the Man
helm Insurance company, and that con-
Germ turned it over to Wilbur Clements.
The car was obtained by a writ and
the hearing will be had some time in
July. The machine is none the worse
for wear because of it's hurried trip to
Chicago.
