Man and Daughter
From Mondays Dairy.

From Mondays Daily.
IF I meet that young fellow | will
give him two black eyes and the girl
I will send to the reform school,
So said John Frye OF Lake Crystal
while in Mankato yesterday In search
of his daughter. Ella Frye. not quite
seventeen years old. The girl, he had
understood. had left Lake Crystal that

Mr.. Frye Is a section foreman on

strenuous efforts to get his daughter
from going with that boy. He thought
he had succeeded.
According to the story told, Satur-
day night there vas a barn dance al
a country home about seven miles
from Lake Crystal. Some girls, in
Guiding Ella Frye, dubbed together
and got an automobile to take them
out to the dance and back. II was
about three o'clock Sunday morning
when they returned home.
Peter Swanson Appears.
Saturday evening Peter Swanson
appeared at the Frye home and asked
the parents II they knew that their
daughter had gone to the dance. They
said they knew IL. and he said he jus,
came to tell them so they would moi
think II was his fault that she was moi
at home that night.
II is said that Swanson waited tC

from the dance. At all events, Mr.. Frye
relates that when he inquired about
his daughter Sunday morning. one o.
the girls who was with her told hin
how the automobile had come with thu
girls to the home of one of them abou'
half a block from the Frye hone; al
SO that Swanson had presented him
self and had offered to take Ella Fry,
home: that the girl refused and salt
she could go home alone as IL wa
only half a block: hat Swanson in
sisted on going with her; that she raj
towards her home and screamed ant
that he ran after her.
Mr.. Frye relates that he went dow
to the depot and inquired Of the op
orator. who is OF duty at four o'clocl
in the morning. whether he had seel
Swanson and Ella Frye there. Th,
operator said he had seen them Their
early that morning. but Swanson
bought no tickets, and whether the,
got on the train or not, he could no
tell. The father afterwards heard tina
Swanson had made a remark abou
going to New Ulm.
! Mr.. Frye Came to Mankato.
Mr.. Frye came to Mankato yester
day, having hired an automobile an,
chauffeur for the purpose. and report
ed the matter to the police and tn
sheriff. He looked uU Ole Swanson

went over TO North Mankato to tn
home of the Lefto family, who are re
lated to Mrs. Frye. He saw eight yea
old Earl Lefto and asked him whcth
