House Appropriations Committee Will
Await Two Years.
There will be no soldier memorial
for the next two years at least, so
far as money from the state is con-
cerned, unless the house appropria :
lions committee changes it's mind
over night. The committee voted yes
terday afternoon to postpone indefin-
itely all bills relating to the mem
orial of the states war heroes. These
bills provided for an appropriation of
100000 for the purchase of the site
opposite the capitol; one for $1,000
600 for the erection of memorial
building on the site opposite the cap
itol, while another called for $780,
600 at the University of Minnesota
or on site near the capitol. This
latter plan was the outcome of the
report of the commission appointed
by the governor which sent in a ma :
jority report for the university site
and minority report, which favored
site near the capitol.
The conflict of interests over the
site, as much as the already huge ap.
preparations for the regular and emer-
gency needs of the state, were given
as reasons for postponing the appro-
prlations for two years.

Not Been Heard From Since He Wen.
to France in November.
Sleepy Eye, April 19-Mystery sur
rounds the case of Private Felix Brust
Sleepy Eye soldier, who has not
been heard from by his parents since
he sailed from America for France last
November
Recent efforts to disclose the where
abouts of young Brust have been in
vain. However, recent communica-
ton from the war department con-
veys the information that he was on
duty January q. Since then there
can be found no official record of him.
The missing soldier is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Brust of Sleepy Eye.
His father is cashier of the Farmers
and Merchants State bank.
With son and son in law in
France besides Felix, Mr. and Mrs.
Brust are deeply concerned over his
possible whereabouts. While train
ing in this country, he wrote faithful
ly every week, but not a line has been
received from him since he left the
fair American shores. He is mem
Der of the medical corps.
1t is possible that Private Brust has
been on detached service with the
American troops in Russia The re-
moteness of such duty would more
reasonably account for his absence
than anything else.

WRECK ON GREAT WESTERN
Train Slipped Track Between Ro-
chester and StewartviIIe.


A wreck on the Great Western line
between Rochester and Stewartville
resulted in derailing the engine tender
and the mail coach and blocking rail
traffic on that branch for several
hours. No one was injured. The
cause of the derailment has not been
announced by railroad authorities.
The wreck occurred the other side
of the long bridge at Judge and it is re
ported that the rear of the passenger
train remained on the bridge. The
creek at this point is in a swollen
state as result of the snow and the
storms
The rear wheels of the engine were
also off the track, it is stated by pas
sengers on the train. At three o'clock
in the morning a wrecking train and
crew arrived from Mcintyre and began
operations. The rear end of the de-
rallied train was detached from the mail
coach and hauled back to Rochester
by relief engine sent out.
The wrecking crew worked all night
to clear the wreckage and place the
engine and cars back on the track in
order that the Great Western train
from the south, might pass on sched-
ule time

CONDITION HENRY HOCHSTEln
REMAINS UNCHANGED
x-Ray Picture Of Chest Taken
To Ascertain Location of
Bullet

Henry Hochstein, the young man
who attempted suicide last Friday
evening, was reported to be about the
same today. His condition has not
changed, according to reports for the
past two or three lays: Dr. j. S. Hol-
brook stated this morning that the
young man was slightly better than
Saturday, but that he was just how
ering at present and was not out of
danger. He said his condition will
not reach a crisis but that the young
man will slowly improve or slowly
become weaker within a short time.
Location of Bullets. -
This morning ar. X-Ray picture of
H0chstein's chest was taken and the
position of the two bullets ascertain
ed. The bullets have never been ex-
tracted. 1t is one week tomorrow
night since the shooting occurred.
1t was stated this morning that in
addition to the bullet wounds. there
Is large powder burn on the young
mans chest. caused by his holding the
gun so close when he fired the shot.
Brother Law visits Him.
Albert Kunz of st. Paul, brother
law of the young man, was in the
city today. He stated that Hochstein
made little comment on his act,
merely saying that the young
lady with whom he kept company
would tell about the case
Mr.. Kunz stated to The Free Press
that Hochstein was engaged to the
young lady, having bought her
diamond ring which she returned less
than two months ago. He says the
two were friendly after the girl went
to South Dakota and that Hochstein
sent her his photograph. About six
weeks ago, according to his statement
she wrote and informed him that she
no longer cared to keep company with
him. Hochstein is reported to have
brooded over the matter considerably
since that time.
Speculation Over Gun.
There is considerable speculation
as to where the young man secured
the gun with which he shot himself.
kunz stated he had never had the
weapon around home and had never
been known to have bought it. AS
he did rot arrive in Mankato until
seven O'Clock on the evening of the
tragedy it seems improbat q that he
could have gotten it here
The only statement Hochstein has
made IN regard TO the shooting is
that he now wants to live.

Some Obstacles On the Way.
Iyanhoe. Mimi, April 19.-To be
elected mayor only to find that he
could not qualify because he had not
lived in his precinct the required
length of time, and then to have the
village council elect him mayor was
the experience of w. w. Panneck.
Panneck was a candidate at the re-
cent village election and defeated Ma
yor G. L. Jacquot, who was candi
date for re- election. 1t was found that
Panneck had resided in the village
but twenty seven days, while thirty
days residence is required. He was
consequently barred from qualifying
and this meant that his rival at the
polls could hold over if he so desired
Jacquot, however, rendered his Eesig
nation, and as Panneck had by that
time gained legal residence the
council elected him mayor.
