Proposition

Sixty-one acres of land in the
slough, formerly the /. A. Pelton
property, have been acquired by cer-
tain members of the executive COM
mittee of the Mankato Commercial
club for $4,000. The Pelton heirs
have been DESTROYS of selling the
property and the purchase is deemed
a very good bargain. even from a
purely speculative point of view. But
the main purpose of the purchase was
to have the land in readiness in case
the plan Of having a lake and lake
park at that place should be found
feasible, and could be carried out. OF
coruse this property alone would not
do for the purpose. 1t would be neces-
sary to have about $50 acres in ALL
This would make a beautiful lake
and park easily accessible by the car
line on Front street, and would be a
suitable place for boating, bathing,
and perhaps even fishing. If the city
or some other party should come
along and boost the move, the park
project might be carried out. If the
park project does not arouse suffici<
ent public interest to carry 1t out,
those who hold the slough property
just purchased will probably be able
at some time to sell it at good
profit

MAN IN ST. JAMES
y DRESSED in THE NUDE
ALFRED In Only Natures Ward
Robe, Stranger Naturally
Attracted Attention

St James, July 20,-The mdepen-
dent says that passers- by on the
main street opposite the city park
were shocked during the middle of
the afternoon yesterday when their
gaze CHANGED to rest upon man sit
ting on one of the park benches, at
tired strickly in natures wardrobe.
How long he had been thus enjoying
himself, before the eagle eye of
Sheriff Lindquist fell upon him we
do not know.
The sheriff approached the. .stran-
ger and told him to put on his
clothes which were lying on the
ground beside the bench and this he
did without protest or comment of
any kind. He was then escorted to
the city Jail where he gave the name
of Frank Pierce and stated that he
had been stopping with brother at
Marshall, though he claimed to have
no home.
He stated that on the Fourth of
July he went on a protracted spree
at Springfield, following which he
wandered, into this community and
worked for one day at the Elf Erick-
son home. He left there without any
formalities and after wandering about
the country for some, time he next
appeared in the city park at St
James where he disrobed and sat
down to rest in the cooling ..breezes
beneath the shade trees, in broad day
light.
1t was evident that the man was
on the verge of an. attack of delirium
tremens and he was later removed
to the sanitarium and placed in a
straight-jacket to await the develop
ment of the snake show that was
certain to pass his way This morn
ing we learn that the unfortunate
fellow, is suffering the torments OF
the tremeRs.
