From Tuesdays Daily.
Clarence Staley, park sdpefintend-
aht, reported to Commissioner A. G.
Lack that one of the deer had been
found deed in the deer park at Sibley
park Sunday morning. At first no
cause was given for its death, but in
skinning the animal it was discovered
that the deer had been shot, evident
,ly with a high power rife for the
shot had passed clear through the
body.
Mr.. Lack said that he had heard
rumors that some hunting had been
going on in the neighborhood of
Sibley park and that in some in
stances the hunters had even gone
into the park and shot the grey
squirrels.
He wants it distinctly understood,
that if anyone is caught in the park
hunting, that he will personally take
steps to have them prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. 1t cannot be
determined whether the bullet that
killed the deer came from a gun that
was shot in the park, or whether
it was fired from across the river.
Either Mayor w. B. Richardson
Of Rochester or Representative H.
H. Dunn of Albert Lea, speaker of
the house in 1911 may oppose Sgd
ney Anderson for the republican
nomination for congress in the first
district
According to correspondence from
Rochester Congressman Anderson's
JosI
his resignation from the ways and
means committee have caused I'M
favorable comment in his district
and kindled hope among the old
war horses that they will be able
to defeat him at the primaries next
summer.
Another incident that has set po-
litical tongues wagging is the pub
LEGATION of "The Unmasking," by o.
NE. Levang of Lahesboro, formerly
Andersons secretary, giving the
correspondence between the two
which led to Mr.. Levangs resigna-
ton. 1t is said however, that the
booklet instead of hurting Mr.. An
derson, has made some friends for
| him.
The probability that the bull moose
will put up a candidate in the first
district also has stimulated demo-
cratic activity, leaders of that party
believing that with divided opposi-
ton they might be~able to carry
| the district. j. F. d. Meighen of
Albert Lea, Senator John Moonan
of Waseca, Senator T. E. eastman
of Owatonna, Henry c. Christianson
of Rochester, and l.. l.. Brown of
Winona are the principal candidates
| mentioned
| At the next meeting of the state
pardon board efforts will be made
| to obtain the release of Mrs. Stella
| Brennan, sent from Minneapolis in
| 1905 to the Saltwater prison for the
! murder of her three stepchildren.
Indiana relatives have interested
| themselves in Mrs. Brennan's case. AT
| her trial Mrs. Brennan set up a plea
| of insanity. When the jury delib-
Grated on the case several ballots
were taken and a majority of the
members stood for murder in the first
degree. Mrs. Brennan's condition
at the time probably saved her from
the death penalty While at Still
water a child was born to Mrs.
Brennan and it is now with relatives
| in Michigan.
| According to the prison manage
ment Mrs. Brennan has been a model
prisoner. Many still think that the
woman was suffering form of tenn
porary insanity when she committed
the deed. During Governor Johnson's
time and when the child was about
| to be born efforts were made to Sc
| cure her release, but Governor John
! son refused to be swayed.
