STRANGER BORROWS So ON THE.
STRENGTH OF HAVING S 90 BILL
THEN HE DID DISAPPEARING ACT

On October IL about eight o'clock
in the evening, a well dressed strang-
er, apparently about forty-fve years
old, stepped up to the desk at the
Saulpaugh hotel and asked the man
ager, Ed Omoth, to change a $500 bill
Mr.. Omoth could not change it. The
man wanted then to borrow S.. Mr.
Omoth said he could leave the $500
bill there, and it would be changed
for him and he could get his change
in the morning. The man was not
satisfied with this, but took his $500
and said he could get SIS elsewhere.
He was registered as ]. C. Porter of
Des Moines.
Later that same evening, a man
said to answer the same description
and registered at the Heinrich as G..
M. Horton, applied to Troy Himmel-
man, the manager, to get $500 bill
changed Mr.. Zimmerman did not
have the change. The man asked to
borrow SIS and Mr.. Zimmerman let
him have it. The stranger then went
out and did not return.
Mr. Zimmerman last night called
UP from Sioux City and said the same

S. B. WILSON IS CRITIC
OF A. C. TOWNLEY TALK
Claims That Doctrine Preached
BY N0n-Partisan Man Akin
To DisIoyaIty

Sleepy Eye, Mimi, October 1.-THE
attitude of A. c. Townley and his fol-
lowers of the Non Partisan league to-
ward the war, in giving the impress
sion that it is "waged for the benefit
of the profiteer," is a doctrine akin
to disloyalty, declared Attorney S. B.
Wilson, Mankato. in an address here
yesterday before the Brown county
urged support of the country in the
purchase of bonds.
Other speakers at the meeting were
w. w. Smith, chairman of the Brown
county loan committee; w. d. Will
lard, chairman of the second district
loan committee; Father Klein, and
and Rev. w. J. Walker of Sleepy Eye.
A notable feature of the meeting
was the large attendance from New
Ulm. Among the delegates from that
city was Albert Pfaender, recently
deposed from the office of city attor-
ney of New Ulm by Governor Burn
quist for alleged participation in an
anti-draft meeting held there last
July. Mr.. Pfaender took an active
part in the discussion and showed a
sympathetic attitude in the interests
of the United States winning the war
His motion for the organization of
subcommittee to- more effectively
carry out the work of raising Brown
county's allotment of $4,000 for the
Liberty Loan, was adopted.

ers Against the Government
Are Nabbed

Having come to Mankato to pre-
sent to the district CONSUMPTION board
their pleas for exemption from mill
tary service, two young men from
Russell, Mimi, became intoxicated
last evening, and in a local saloon
spoke abusively of the government of
the United States The result was
that both were obliged to pay fines
in the municipal court this morning.
On the older of the two, John Hip
pie, Judge Harry Johnson imposed a
fine of 800 and costs with the al
tentative of ninety days in the coun-
ty Jail. This man, twentyseven years
old, and unmarried, had come to
claim exemption on the ground that
he was a farmer. In the saloon he
talked excitedly about the govern
ment and referred to the president of
the United States with a vile name.
He even pulled off his coat and pre-
pared to fight anybody who cared to
dispute his statements.
On the younger of the two, William
Murphy, fine of $50 and costs, with
the alternative of sixty days in the
county Jail, was imposed. Murphy
said he usually did tile work, but
had lately been threshing. He said
he was married and not well off, and
could not afford to go to war. Muir
ply is twenty years old, and a
large, powerful looking man, one who
would probably make fine soldier.
In the saloon he also talked against
the government, but was less loud
about it than Nipple.
Both offered their checks on a bank
at Russell, and a call was sent to
ascertain whether these checks were
good.
Nipple and Murphy both obtained by
wire from Russell the money to pay
their fines. Both have been held by the
district board for army service. No
formal appeal has yet been filed by
either "They show that they need
the army discipline" said a member
of the board this morning.

ENDS HIS LIFE, BLEW
HEAD WITH SHOTGUN
Henry Rupp, Westbrook, Com,
mitted Suicide; No Cause
Can Be SurmiSed

Henry Rupp of Westbrook, Mimi,
committed suicide this week, shooting
himself with a shotgun. When he was
found, it was almost impossible to
recognize his features, so badly had
his head been torn by the explosion.
The method he chose for closing
this life manifested his dependency.
He put the gun into his mouth, and
pulled the trigger with his bare toe
The shoe was found nearby. His head
was torn to bits, and lay scattered
over the room in his home.
The suicide has been brooding fol-
years, but no one has been able to
give the cause. His wife was an in
valid for seventeen years, and died
only this winter This may have been
a cause. This summer Mr.. Rupp had
been quiet and morose, and the suicide
did not shock the community as ii
might have in many other cases.
He is a retired farmer and has
lived near Westbrook almost all bis
life.

Boldly Defied Cossacks Who
Had Threatened Life
TEST OF HIS COURAGE
kerensky Tainted the Drunken
Gunner BY Calling Them
All towards
UNITED Press Dispatch.l

Stockholm, Via London, September
played fearlessly with death at the
Moscow democratic conference and
won by his sheer, unflinching nerve.
He stood on platform unarmed, fac
ing three drunken Cossack officers,
red with anger and twice flung the
taunt towards" in their faces, while
the vast audience, breathless, fear
fully waited for their revolver shots
to stretch Russia's man of the
hour" bleeding on the platform.
Test of Courage.
That they did not fire meant he had
passed the supreme test of courage
and nerve. Premier Kerensky presid
ed at the Moscow conference. On the
night of the meeting a group of Co.'S
sack officers appeared as usual in
the box reserved for General Korni-
loft on the left side of the stage,
Korniloff himself was not present.
The officers who lounged in his box
gave every evidence of intoxication.
Russians On the Stage.
On the stage behind KerenSky sat
a number of prominent Russians. The
Cossacks in the box repeatedly inter-
rupted speakers as the meeting pro-
ceeded. From the stage almost below
them Kerensky repeatedly appealed
for quiet. The CosSacks ignored him.
Several speeches were received with
wild outbursts of laughter. Finally a
CoSsack soldier, a member of the So
Wet (Petrograd council of workman
and soldiers) spoke. He declared
teh Cossacks were democrats and not
slaves of their Cossack masters. The
three officers took instant umbrage.
All arose. One shouted:
"Sounds Like German Talk" o.
"That sounds like German talk, no
real Cossack speaks thus" Kerensky
stood up and remarked acidly:
"The officer who actresses a man
like that on such an occasion as this
is a coward"
Two more Cossack officers arose.
One shouted: 81 agree with my fell
low officer and we are ready to give
anyone satisfaction No one can call
me a coward"
Men Hurried Down Stairs.
The three hurriedly left the box
and FASTENED down stairs towards
the door to the stage. Several friends
followed them, begging the lurching
trio to return.
Though Kerensky is carefully
guarded at all times none of his pri-
vate soldier guards dared bar the
progress of the officers. The trio
went on, forcing the aisle aside. They
turned back from the stage door and
went down the aisle toward Keren-
sky. The premier's back was turned
toward them. The drunkest OF the
three was not more than twenty feet
distant from him, when high Off
Ger arose from his seat and ordered
them back. They had to obey. Two
of the three later appeared in their
box.
At this juncture came the usual
midnight recess for conference.

Report That British General Is
Getting Ready Fer Another
Plunge
UNITED Press Dispatch


Berlin, Germany, October 17.-"The
island of Oesel is entirely in oul
hands," was the official statement of
the German war department today.
London, Eng, October 17.-Reports
Of renewed heavy firing by the Brit
ish artillery in Flanders, together with
clearing weather in that region, give
rise to the opinion that General Haig
is preparing for another big forward
sweep against the German line in
that region.
Announcement of Policies.
UNITED Press Dispatch;
London, Eng, October 17.-Great
interest is taken in the announce
ment that Sir Erick Geddes, the new
first admiralty lord, would make a
statement of his policy today. This
taken in conjunction with the report
that Admiral Mayo is about to make
series of recommendations to the
American government on the cooper
alton of the war ships of the allies
in European waters, is thought to
mean a new naval movement against
the Germans in the near future.
Drives Through the Lines.
UNITED Press Oispatch.l
Washington, October 17.-War ex-
perts here are of the opinion that the
drives of the British and French in
Flanders and vicinity are likely at al
most any time to break directly
through the German line, giving an
opportunity for flank attack. Thus
far the drives that have been made
have merely driven the German line
back, with a considerable toll of men
without gaining any great tactical
advantage.

to correspond with the description of
one described in a circular letter
sent out by the Northwestern Detec-
tive agency at Minneapolis and want
ed on the charge of passing a check,
raised from Sc to $50 on hotel at
Wausau, Wis. There the wanted
man went by the name of J. P. Breigh.
Sheriff Osten wired to the authori-
ties at Sioux City to arrest the man
but learned that the man had gone
to Omaha. Thereupon, the sheriff sent
like message to the authorities at
Omaha.
The handwriting on the Heinrich
hotel register with the name Horton
looked much like that given in a
, facsimile in the circular with the
name Breigh.

Garfield later warned the operators

government would take charge of the
production. He declared that the gov

ATTEMPT TO EVADE TAXES
This Charge Is Made Against Manu-
facturers Of Munitions.

Washington, October 17.-Attempts
on the part of companies engaged in
the manufacture of munitions of war
to evade taxes to the amount of ST.
100000 have been discovered by the
treasury department. All of these
taxes have been collected already,
with the exception of $7,0O0,OO0. This
is the II per cent tax on munitions
profits. The plan of the companies
has been to make excessive charges
for depreciation, thus making their
earnings appear much smaller than
they actually have been.
