WERE IN QUEST OF BEER

Two men apparently with an all
powerful thirst were seen by a man
named Hall trying to enter the Min
neapolis Brewing company's cold
storage plant at the foot of Cherry
street yesterday noon in broad day
light. Mr.. Hall notified Manager
Lippert of the fact and the latter
sent in a call for the police. CHIEF
Donahue and Officer Carlson went to
the place and found that the men
had tried to enter window on the
side facing the Mankato Manufacture
ing company. Here they had pried
off the shutter and had then en-
countered screen. They evidently
decided that this window was too
hard to enter and went around to
the back, facing the railroad yards.
Here there was no screen and they
entered by prying off the shutter
They were seen just as they entered
by Mr.. Hall and when they knew
that they were discovered took to
their heels without quenching their
thirst. Mr.. Hall says they went
down the alley and then separated.
Chief Donahue and Officer Carlson
searched for the men yesterday af
ternoon, but did not find them.
The chief continued the search for
the miscreants today. but has not
yet been able to lay hands on them.

ed. But the climate there requires
very light clothing most of the year,
and besides no Hindu would kill one
of these animals as they are held
sacred, and then he might be killing
one of his dead relatives whose
spirit had taken up it's abode there.
Mohammedan would not dare to
kill one Of them as this would start
riot which would probably require
the whole police force to stop. They
therefore devised plan of trapping
the monkeys and sending them in
cages miles away into the jungle,
giving a reward for their capture and
removal. This experiment, however,
was failure, as the monkeys re-
turned as fast as they were removed,
so the only thing to do is to keep
all windows carefully barred, and all
entrances closed when the occupant
is absent.
"A few months ago our workers
were obliged to be absent from here

If a person is ill., parched peas are
