Just what were thee merits of the
case and what were the details of
the affair the police did not learn
but one of the men had a hand that
was badly cut by the razor, and the
child had two cuts on the foot, so bad
that it was deemed wise eto take her
to doctor. The stories differed.
The, whole outfit was before Chief
of Police Klugherz this morning. The
household had come to Mankato not
long ago from Iowa, and the chief
thought it was better to have them
all go back to the place when they
came, than to board some of them at
the Jail as prisoners and the rest at
their home as county charges. So
all were allowed to go, on condi-
ton that they would pack up and
leave town with the least possible
delay. f7aR ae

Albert Lea, December 2.-Charles
Matson of Wells, is nursing sore head
as the result of making a chance ac-
quaintance with strangers on the St.

and st. Paul road Thursday.
Matson had been working on farm
near Waldorf and was coming to this
city Thursday to transfer and go on to
his home at Wells. On the train sew
eral men were drinking and one of the
giving drink Matson took long pull
at the strangers bottle, and Immediate
ly life took on much brighter aspect
Another fellow of the group invited
Matson to step out on the platform Of
the train and take another drink Mat
small drink and he thinks it must have
been doped as he can recall little that
happened after taking the second
shot" and he stated that two whis-
KEYS never put him. out.
The train stopped before getting to
the depot platform and one of the men
says, everybody out here this train
goes no further Matson got off the
train with the bunch and after reaching
the ground one of the number struck
heavy instrument. possibly a bottle.
Matson went to the matt but before
they could roll him they were fright
ened away and Matson is $3.50 richer
than he would have been had the men
been able to finish their job.
Matson looked like a pig sticker in
an abattoir by the time the flow of
blood was stopped and had to discard
his clothing and purchase new before
being able to go onto Wells.
"A local physician took four stitches in
Matson's scalp to close the wound and
even if he didn't get the game he has a
head that feels even worse than the
morning after the night before.

of the claim of D. C.. Davies that his
book of 1868 is the oldest book in

'of these is descriptive geography,
written in the Danish language by
Hans Hanson Skon, describing the
Turks, Jews, Irish, Tartars, Egypt
|ians, Russians, and other peoples,
and printed at Aarhus, Denmark, in
l641. The second is German COM
mentary on the Psalms by Nicolaum
Selneccerum, printed at Leipzig in
1871, the Introduction having been
written in 1853. The third is a Latin
Vulgate version of the Bible printed
in 1899, also at Leipzig.
A still older book is found in the
private library of Rev. A. F. Winter
pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran church.
1t is a. German devotional book writ
ten by Martin Luther and printed at
Nuremberg in 1865. This is a good
sized book, printed in large type, and
illustrated by numerous hand colored
engravings, with an attractive cover
