cts. Ffg e
Mr.. Foster thereupon went and got
the trunk and they gave him the tick
cts and he returned them TO the man
who had given them TO the girls. Mr..
Foster told this man that the girls
had decided to stay In Mankato. The
other man said II was all right.
He had not thought there was any
work for the girls to do in Mankato,
and that was all. Mr.. Foster says this
man talked I'm rather excited tone.
Mr.. Foster says he took particular
notice of that. Thus the girls decided
To stay. and Mr.. Foster says he is
pretty sure of their getting some en-
ployment here. He says the girls told
him they came from some place In
South Dakota. He said he understood
that the girls had lately been work
ing in some town near Mankato. He
says the girls do hotel work.
Facts Do Not Jibe With Tale.
Inquiry nj the hotel where Foster
said he had been staying, the Clifton,
today failed to show that any such
person had been staying there. Those
In charge of the hotel had no recollec-
ton Of any man staying there by that
name. The register for some days
back failed 10 show that name.
Al the Northwestern depot today
inquiry was made whether three tick
cts 10 Rochester had been sold as this
man claimed. The fact was revealed
that only one ticket had been sold
10 Rochester and none had been sold
Ia winona. Furthermore. there was
no trunk or baggage checked Today
10 Rochester up TO noon.
These facts do not jibe with the
Young mans sensational tale.
Foster. II that be his name. related
the story which he told The Free

Smith. who I'm turn notified the po-
lice. The police did not learn any
thing that would lead them to believe
that any attempt had been made at

II is thought that Foster might
