three miles wset of Trempealeau and
tagged freight train No. 587, west
bound, notifying it ofthe defect and
perhaps saving the lives of the pas

rail had not been discovered, rail-
road officials say that there is no

cordially for his forethought.

the couple.
Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. Dolliver
visited several Mankato stores and
made purchases and said that they
expected to be here for two or three
days more and would then go to ST.

before going west. While in one of
the stores they had little family
disagreement and when the husband
left, at his wife's request, she re-
marked that she felt little grouchy

parents were about to send her east
to attend school.
Mr. Dolliver is a barber by trade
and is regarded as likely young
man. His bride is a pretty young
lady Her parents are highly re-

Falls was in Mankato today, having
had some business before the United
States court. Nowadays Mr. Clague
is paying more attention to his law
practice than he is to politics and
has not given the congressional situa-
ton in this district much thought.
However, when approached today by
The Free Press with the question
as to whether he was going to throw
his hat in. the field, the senator re-
piled that he had not determined in
his own mind what course he would
pursue. He stated that number of
republicans in the district had asked
him to be candidate, but he had
not as yet committed himself to the
proposition. While Mr.. Clague did
not say that he. would be can
/ didate, there is reason to believe
that the subject is being considered
by him to some extent.

less auto driving on the Mankato

possible means to put stop to the

to serve warrants for the arrest of
suspected parties whenever they are
placed in my hands"
