DEATH OF JOHN LARSON

From Tuesdays Daily.
John Larson, who has been in i'll
health for several years, died at the
home, OF his wife's parents, in Min

sy. Mr.. Larson was born forty,six,
years ago in Sweden and came TO
this country with his parents at the
age of six years. The family set
tied in, Belgrade. When nineteen
years of age Mr.. Larson went to

He was married thirteen years ago

Information ON certain matters dam;
aging to virgens.
Revolver Shot Killed Steen.
There no longer seems any doubt
that Steen was shot with a. SO cali,
bre Colt revolver. Virgens was
known to have possessed such a
weapon for more than year and
it is this gun that is being SO dill
gently sought for 1t is also known
that Virgens frequently prowled
around at night and was away from
This home, the night Steen was kill
3D. Further, that while on his night
prowings he was armed with the
revolver in question and an electric
pocket search light This light was
found. secreted on the premises by
the officers.
| Virgens frequently practiced' shoot
ing with his revolver and had be-
come an expert shot. 1t is said he
used a short piece of plank as a
target, standing this up against the
barn wall or a strawstack as a
backstop. The plank target is an
other article that has disappeared
since the murder and is supposed
to have been burned in the kitchen
stove.
Two Significant Details.
A significant fact bearing on the
case is that light in the Steen
/ hoghouse, where Mr.. Steen was
murdered. can be plainly seen from
the Virgens premises. Also that a
strip across a plowed field that Vir.
gems would naturally have crossed
in going from his place to the
Steen premises, was freshly pulver.
lied soon after the murder.
There is no mistaking the feeling
against Virgens in the; vicinity OF
the crime. 1t seems probable. that
had not the arrest been, made when
it was a vigilance committee would
have acted. Cool headed men have
told the Sentinel that for several
days all it required as some leader
to say "Come on, boys" and Martin
county would have witnessed mob
violence in it's worst form.

SAVED LIVES OF THREE

From Tuesdays Daily.
rus" Burrill, who lives in Le-
Hitler, and whose farm is crossed
by the Omaha and Northwestern
tracks, unquestionably saved the
lives of three young ladies Sunday
afternoon, who were walking on
the track trestle. While on the
trestle which extends west for a
distance. of about twenty rods from
the iron bridge, Mr.. Burrill saw an
approaching Omaha train and with
great haste ran to the track and
commanded the young ladies' to sit
on the edge of the ties, as there
was not time to cross before the
train would pass. The young ladies
at first demurred, but Mr.. Burrill,
who saw their dangerous position,
insisted that sitting on the edge OF
the stringeri while the train passed
was the only way they could be
saved, and they obeyed. The young
ladies frightened condition was
pathetic, but they were unframed.
Mr.. Burrill informs the Free Press
that the trestle is dangerous to
walk over, as it is necessary to
step from one tie to the other and a
pedestrian is not watching for a
train, but for a place to step. Per
sons, going to Minneopa frequently
walk the tracks. but it is a danger
IONS practice and should be discon-
tinued, The length of the trestle,
which is about 20 rods long and
20 feet above the ground, does not
give a person time to walk from
one end to the other If train is
approaching, and if caught, the tie
end is the only alternative for
safety. siH 4.

proposed a currency measure In that
form IL it's general lines had not been
