From Wednesdays Daily.

Last Wednesday a fine quality red
leather grip was discovered in the
water about FIVE feet from shore on
the Marston property on the south
shore of Loon Lake by a man working
with Will CRAFTS ,hreshing rig, says
The Lake Crystal Union. The bag
was open and contained two ledgers
or account books i'm which are several
entries, a German Bible, q German
book. an auto license No. 56776 and
a marriage license made out at Albert
Lea, September 90, to Victor VI.
Nelson and Emma Hanson. Some
mystery surrounds the finding OF the
grip at this point, as II evidently had
been placed there and partially filled
with sand to prevent its floating
away. The papers and books were
not badly water soaked. showing IT
had not been in the water long, and
the unused marriage license, with
the ministers return were i'm good
condition. The bag was taken to the
home of L. H. Moses where the man
who found II is boarding. The ques-
ton is who is Victor Nelson and how
did he lose his grip and bride.

Club women of the city and women
In general throughout the county are
taking an ever increasing interest I'm
the project of having a police matron
for Mankato. A number of club women
have expressed very decided opin
ions upon the subject to reporter OF
The Free Press and have cited a num-
Der of incidents, including special
case of young girl, who recently
appeared in municipal court, appear
ing and giving evidence before a court
room filled with men, with not one
woman present, an ordeal which
would have been considerably light
ened had police matron been present
to sit with the girl. and extend to
her the sympathy and moral support
of one of her own sex. Many other
times and places, where the need OF
such a policewoman is very apparent,
| were also mentioned.
Active Campaign Started.
An active campaign has been start
ell to raise a fund to pay for the sery-
ices of a policewoman, and practically
| every club woman I'm the city Is de-
voting her efforts toward that end.
Mrs. J. w. Andrews, president Of the
| Civic league, has secured a splendid
series of entertainments, known as
| the C.. w. Best Artists series, which
will come to Mankato this fall, sea
son tickets to be sold for 81 90. A
large committee of women has the
sale of the tickets i'm charge, and are
meeting with good success. The cost
OF getting these noted artists here is
considerable, as each entertainment is
| first class. The first hundred dollars
| profit which the women take I'm from
| the sale OF tickets will go to the
school ground fund, and the balance
| will go toward the fund to pay for a
police matron.
