w. Manecke. the Wood Lake saloon
keeper and restauranteur. left the
city at three o'clock TINS afternoon, I'm
the very automobile that made his
forty -eight hour sojourn I'm Mankato
so tempestuous and eyentful. That
six-cylinder Buick is his own now. II
is somewhat battered from his unique
method of buying il, and cost him a
little more than IL would, IL he had
done the business according to the
customary routine. But everything is
all right now and everybody Is salts
fed.
The visit of Peter Dahl, the agent
of the Pence Automobile company, to
whom Mr.. Manecke made a payment
last Friday at Cottonwood, where the
agent lives. and w. n. Stephens.
salesmanager for the same company
at Minneapolis Strengthened out the
whole trouble. Their explanations III
i'm with what the Mankato people con-
cerned in the deal said, and all end
ed happily.
Bought a Roadster.
Mr.. Manecke some days ago bought
from the Pence people a four -cylinder
roadster. For this he made a pay
ment to the agent at Cottonwood.
Later he found the machine too
small. He went to Minneapolis and
had a talk with Mr. Stephens. The
latter had been told that +. w. Hunt
of Mankato would like to sell his
car. So Mr. Stephens told Mr.. Man
eckt that there was a six-cylinder
Buick at Mankato i'm the Clements ga :
rage, and Mr.. Stephens said he
thought arrangements could be made
to sell that TO Mr.. Manecke. taking
his four cylinder roadster in part
payment
On the strength of this converse
ton, and without a bill of sale or a
receipt or credentials of any kind, Mr.
Manecke came to Mankato. told some
of the employees at the Clements ga
rage that he had bought the autoino-
bile and started of with It. What fol-
lowed Is familiar to all TO all readers
of The Free Press.
Case Was Dismissed.
Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock
the charge that Mr.. -Manecke assault
ed Braden Clements came up in the
municipal court. There was no one
present to prosecute and Judge Ply
mat dismissed the case. Then came
the Pence agents and made their ex
plantations. This afternoon, on motion
by County Attorney Schmitt, he
other charge against Mr.. Manecke
that of taking an automobile ant oil
a garage without authority, was also
dismissed. The county attorney said
the explanation was satisfactory. that
II was all due TO an error and thai
public policy did not i'm his opinion
require prosecution.
Then came the last act In this 1T
tie comedy. Mr.. Manecke actually
purchased the somewhat battered
Buick from F.. w. Hunt. MIR. Hunt
Immediately placed In the hands o.
the Clements company an order FOR q
seven passenger car.
Mr.. HUNT left this afternoon foi
Minneapolis to get the car for which
he had placed the order in the hands
or the Clements house. The car is Q
ix-cylinder, seven passenger, Buick
touring auto. IL has been purchased
from the Pence Automobile company
for sl,750.

TAXES CHLOROF0RM BY MISTAKE ANDD|ES
Mississippi Physician Poison Victim When Wrong Drug
 Is Swallowed

Columbus, Miss, January 1.-(Special.) As the result of a mistake, Dr. Charles C. Meek, a prominent young physician of this county. is dead at his home six miles south of Columbus. A dose of chloroform taken from a bottle supposed to have contained elixir of bromide re- suited in his death. He had been suf- fering from a severe headache during the early morning and had been inhaling the chloroform as a remedy. He decided to take dose of the bromide, and the two bottles being of the same size, the choro- form was taken instead
 It is supposed that he was unable to detect the odor of the chloroforn on ac- count of the fact that he had been inhal- ing it as a headache remedy, and his sys- tenn was saturated with the drug. His wife detected the mistake immediately and called his attention to what he had done The doctor called to his wife for an antidote. but before it could be ad- ministered the chloroform had taken it's fatal course and death resulted in a few minutes.
 Dr. Meek was about 30 years of age, and is q graduate of one of the Memphis schools of medicine, having been practice ing his profession only a few years He came to this section from north Mssis- sippi about three years ago and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. Funeral arrangements have not as yet been completed.

Dothan, January 1.-(Special.) )-Foster Woodham 13-year-old son of MT. an6 Mrs. Jessie Woodham. we'll known resi- cents of Houston county. living about nine miles west of Dothan, was buried under and instantly killed by a large sand bank which caved in and fell upon him While he was gathering sand at the bot tom of gully 90 feet deep near the Rutherford ford. on Bear creek, about 12:9 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The young boy and his S-year-old sister had been sent to the creek for sand. and if was while on this errand that the trag- edy occurred.
 Joe B. Reeves, a well known farmer of that nefghborhood, passed the ford and saw the little girl crying. He asked what the trouble was and she told him that the sand had caved in on her brother. MT. Reeves found the boy buried face down beneath the sand, only his legs below the knees protruding. Being unable to pul, him out by the legs, Mr. Reeves dug him out with his hands as quickly as possible, but life was already extincr,
 The boys mother is prostrated with grief.
