SOLDIER BOYS ENJOY
THEIR LIFE IN CAMP
Company Il at Lakeyiew; Every
thing Fine; No Sickness;
Plenty of Food

Captain A. o. Scott, who left Mon
day morning with Company H for
camp at Lake City, has written to
The Free Press of the trip and con-
ditions in camp. Captain Scott
writes: Company H arrived in
Camp Lakeview safely at p. m.
after an uneventful trip. With some
of the members coming from other
points, We have forty-one members
and two officers, Captain Scott and
Lieutenant Cyril Spicer, First Lieu
tenant Erwin has been promoted to
battalion adjutant Major Duane is
commanding.
1.-THE men are enjoying their work
and with the opportunity of bathing
in the lake, shower baths, ball
games and social intercourse, their
time is well taken up. There is no
sickness among the men of Com
pany H and the instruction that we
are getting will greatly benefit the
company so that when we get the
new armory completed we will have
a militia company to occupy it of
whom Mankato will be proud to
claim as their own.
Company H has the cleanest
body of men this year that they
have had for some time. The food
is good and there is plenty of it.
Camping as we are, on the shore OF
beautiful Lake Pepin, it makes a
delightful outing for the men,"

David kimbIe of Rapidan Is Knocked
Down and Paved Upon BY Angry
Animal

David Kimble, who gardens on
the Rapidan, was in the city last
Wednesday. He had a wad of cot
ton in one ear, his face was blue
and black and ne walked stiff and
sore-Iike, says The Lake Crystal
Union. We inquired of him what
had taken place, for we knew that
David was always peaceable citi-
zen and that something extraordin-
airy had happened, which he related.
1t seems on Sunday evening June
80, he, in company with M. w. Weir,
went after COW of the former in
the pasture of the latter There
was a young hull in the field, but
Mr. Kimble paid no attention to the
brute, yet he noticed that the ami
NAL was digging up the earth with
one foot and the tongue of the crea-
ture was out, head down and had it's
eye on him. Mr.. Kimble had not
gone far, however, before he was
knocked down and did not know
anything for some time, Not only
was Mr. Kimble's face bruised, but
also his body in like manner The
bull had little stubs of horns and
with these it very nearly ripped all
the clothing off Mr. Kimble, before
driven away by Mr.. Weir.

JAPS LOOK FOR TROUBLE
Government Is Experiencing Great
Difficulty In SURPRISING War
Meetings
Ispecial TO The Free Press.

Toxic, July 9.-The government
is having difficulty breaking up anti
American meetings. The younger
element is busy denouncing the ia
panese cabinet which they declare
has failed ia settling the California
question. They say the time has ar
rived for the people to assume a
more determined attitude and extend
the national prestige.
1t has been decided to continue the
attempts to arouse public opinion by
further anti-American meetings and
the distribution of manifestoes
The speakers who advocate the
NEST radical measures toward the
United States were the same men
who have daily tried to stir up the
Japanese public during the last
month.

The Mankato Electric Traction

was succeeded by A. Mueller, who
has proved his competency for the
position.
In January the controlling inter

pany. They purchased the property
from the Cummings syndicate of Chi
cago, who bought it from the origi

Question of Rebates From Roads
Cause Some Friction
BOARD HOLDS TO ONE OPINION
Railway Attorneys Stick to Another; the
Contention May Reach Judges
For Settlement

Difference OF opinion has arisen
between the state railroad and ware
house commission and the railroads
over the payment of refunds of over
charges made during the period of
rate litigation. So complicated has
the situation become that it may
mean delay in the settlement of
claims and further resort to the
courts to determine the questions in
volved.
The dispute is in regard to the
merchandise rates. When the COM
mission established the maximum
charges for this class of shipments,
which became effective November
Is, 1906, and were put into effect by
the railroads, it was found that some
of the old rates were lower than
those fixed by the state. In many
such instances, because of competi-
tive conditions, the old rates were
not raised to the maximum allowed
by the commission, but retained in
general use.
Raising of Rates.
When, on July /, 1911, the rail
roads were enjoined by the Sanborn
decision from maintaining the state
rates, commodity, merchandise and
passenger, there was a general raise

MUST PAY OWN BILLS
No Appropriation Is Made BY legisla'
ture For Benefit OF Judges When
travelling

Failure of the legislature to make
a specific appropriation will prevent
district judges from collecting their

1913 legislature by statute permits
those officers to incur bills while on

tute an appropriation and that the

Verdict Rendered After Jury Had
Listened TO Evidence
CABLE SLIPPED; STONE FELL

Appearances the Workman Was
Not Badly Injured

city yesterday afternoon. was crush
ed upon the rock upon which he
was working, as the evidence show,
ed at the coroner's inquest which
was held this morning. No, one, it
seems, was close enough to the
man at the time the accident hap,
pened to tell just how badly he was
crushed, and from outward appear
ances, after the accident, it did not
appear that he had been hit hard
enough to kill him. The rock, which
weighed about three tons, was lifted
about fifteen feet in the air above Mr..
Leo, and slip in the cable which
was holding it allowed it to fall
upon the workman.

Almost as it fell, it seems, the
engineer regained control of the
mechanism again, and the rock
swung off the body, after remaining
there only an instant. 1t did not
look like the stone more than brush
ed Mr.. Leo over upon his back upon
the rock which he was cutting, but

his right side had been crushed
