TRAGEDY ON A TRAIN

Mankato (Minn.) Man Had Threat
ened to XIII Governor Eberhart and
Was Being Taken to Place of Con.
finement When Shooting Occurred
Mankato, Mimi, Jan. 25.-Because
he had threatened to kill Governor
Eberhart, Alex Shuttle, thirty years
old, a former rural mail carrier of
this city, was sent to a private asy.
lum at Milwaukee. While on the
train, passing through West Allis
near Milwaukee, he shot and killed
his attendant, Joseph Budde, a police
man of this city, and then committed
suicide.
Shuttle had told Budde that he pur-
posed to kill the governor and Budde
had promptly reported the threat to
the police. Arrangements were made
to have Shuttle taken to the asylum
Budde was selected to make the trip.
He was told by Shuttes sister, 1t is
said, that Shuttle was armed, but he
did not go to the trouble of searching
his prisoner.
Shutte's enmity toward Governor
Eberhart is supposed to have been
due to an imaginary grievance he
felt because of an accident to his
father in the Homecoming" parade
given for Governor Eberhsrt.
Budde was forty-flve years old. He
is survived by a widow and seven
children. He came here from ST.
Hlien, Mimi, six years ago, and for
five years was a member of the local
police force.

London, Jan. 25.-The confirmation

augurated.
Lack of infor~ 1tion as to the real
meaning and scope of the movements
in Constantinople precludes in the
Official view anything in the nature
Of peremptory action.
Great Excitement Prevails.
AT the headquarters OF all the peace
delegations the greatest activity and
excitement prevailed. Cipher tele-
grams from Sofa, Belgrade, Athens
and Cettinje crossed messages from
London to those capitals during the
early morning hours. Before noon
the heads of the four delegations had
held several meetings to discuss the
situation.
The allies seemed disposed to con-
slider the revolution in Constantine
pie as an affront to the European
powers more than to themselves
Therefore they think that the powers
are entitled to make the first move.
Whatever ii may be and whatever Its
result it cannot prejudice their future
action, they declare.
Messages received from various
points in the Balkans show that nego-
tiations concerning the next develop
Jment are proceeding actively between
the capitals of the allies. The dele
cations cannot be sure as to what
will be their ultimate attitude until
they have received instructions from
their respective governments.

that representation by minority stock
holders on directorates might allow

Mr.. Hill arrived at the committee

from Wisconsin. After listening to the
testimony of II. p. Dawson of j. p.
Morgan & Co. the committee called
Mr.. Hill, who had previously expressed
his willingness to take the stand and

Mr.. Hill opened his testimony with

Mr.. Hill said the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific railroads were
competitors.
When the Northern Securities com

FIRE FRIDAY MORNING.
Large Sale Stables of Black & Black
Totally Destroyed.

Last Friday morning about four
clock the large sale stables Of
Black & Black. situated on Main
street, was found to be on fire, and
although the fire department turned
out in a short time, it was impossible
to save the building, 1T being large
frame structure, but the fire was kept
from spreading to other buildings.
Again has the water works saved the
business portion of the town, for had
there been no water there is no tell
ing where the fire would have stop
ped, as the store of the F. W. Free
Co. was already on fire in the rear
when the water was turned on and
the store of G. A. Ducker was almost
ready to burst into flames. The Free
store is situated North of the stables
and the Ducker store on the South
side
The fire originated in a small house
next to the stables in which a lot of
seed cotton was stored, and the flames
spread rapidly. AS soon as the alarm
was given Messrs. H. W. Herndon
and H. l.. Hirnant, who were first on
the scene, broke open the stables and
liberated the horses and mules, so no
live stock was destroyed. A few Sec
ond-hand wagons were saved, these
being in the lot, but number of new
buggies and wagons, lot of harness,
etc., was destroyed in the burned
building.
Just before the water was turned
on the fire looked serious, as Mr..
Frees store was already on fire in
the rear, Mr.. Ducker's almost ready
to catch, and as other stores on Main
street are right up against these, the
fire might have been a most serious
one
The barn of DR.. J. B. Black was
also destroyed, and DR.. Robert Black
also lost a lot of lumber which was
stored in house near these build
ings. A number of stalls belonging
to Mr.. E. c. Hays were also burned,
and while the meat house of Mr.. W.
D. Rhoad caught on fire, it was put
out, but was damaged considerably.
The wooden pump house at the oil
tanks was also destroyed.
Black & Black had insurance on
the buildings and contents amounting
to $4,000, and their loss is no doubt
$4,000. A lot of fodder and other
feed in the loft of the stables was
lost. In fact practically nothing was
saved from the buildings except the
horses and mules. They are hauling
lumber now and will rebuild at once.

Cradle Roll Reception.

The home of Mrs. w. D. Rnoad
was the scene of lively reception
Wednesday afternoon in compliment
to the Cradle Roll and mothers of
Trinity Methodist Sunday-school.
The increasing activity and unfail-
ing interest in the welfare of the
babies and the pleasure of the moth
ers is shown every year about this
time since Mrs Rhoad has been in
charge of this department of Sunday
school work
Her hospitable doors were opened
wide to the older guests, while the
beautiful shady grove across the way
was fairly alive with the little tots
whose interest seemed to be center
ed around a large table bountifully
spread with dainty good things to
eat. The committee appointed to
look after these little ones did their
duty faithfully and well. Delicious
refreshments were served by the
hostess to the guests in the parlor.
The Sunday-school made a wise
selection when they appointed Mrs.
Rhoad superintendent of this depart
ment. She keeps in touch with all
the babies, never forgetting to send
them a birthday card. Several have
been promoted to the Sunday-school
this year, but others have been Sc
cured to fill their places. The roll
now numbers twenty-six. We be-
lieve the time has come when our
church must take more active and
intelligent interest in the bringing
in of the children into the Sunday
school, Where is there a better
place to begin than from the cradle?
The baby is generally the center of
attraction in the home, and the Sun
day-school that gets hold upon the
little ones thereby gains access to
every member of the family.
