ACTION IS FOR $4,000
Police Chief SchWeppe At St.
James Sued BY Peter w.
RempeI

Chief of Police H. J. Scweppe has
been sued for $4,000 by Pete w.
Rempel, who charges him with false
arrest and imprisonment. On Sep
TENDER Is last year, Mr.. Schweppe
arrested Pete w Rempel, John Rem
pc, w G.. Maxwell and Barney Mar
tin, charging them with drunkenness,
says The st. James Plaindealers.
They were taken before the Justice
court and found guilty. Mr. Maxwell
and Mr.. Martin paid their fines, but
the two Rempois carried their case
to court. John Rempel was again con-
victed, but Pete w Rempers case was
postponed several ties and was finally
dismissed on the grounds of not
sufficient evidence.
At the time that the party was ar
rested, they were In car and ran
into the side of Peck's store. Chief
Schweppe arrested the men and put
them In i'll where they remained for
several hours before being arraigned
before the justice court Judge: Mr..
Rempel charges that he was falsely
arrested and confined in jail.
The city Of st. James asks that
each policeman be bonded for $4,000
and this protects the city from being
used. Mat Karas and Henry Schwep-
pc are bondsmen for Mr.. Sohweppe.
Attorney Albert Running 10 defend.
ing Mr.. Schweppe and Seager and
Farmer are sueing for Mr.. Rempei.
This case Is of special interest to the
citizens Of this county as the men are
we'll known here.

joists the first floor of the bulidlng
was raised three different times, lor
there were three sets OF Joists ano
three floors found when the building
was being demolished.
When originally built the rear emu
of the buildings were supported on
posts. which afforded considerable
space beneath the first floors: Inc
Singer building was originally
built by Lewis Lewis, a contractor IN
1868. He used the first floor as car
penter shop and the basement as
barn. One night during the year
1871, according to the statement OF
old settlers, Mr.. Lewis was burned TO
death while trying to rescue MS
horses from a fire in the basement.
During the year 1873 the Knoff build
ing was used as a hotel by a Mr.;
Minch, according to the statement OF
John Dougherty, who says that a
flourishing hotel trade was enJoyeu
there for several years.
Mr.. Dougherty says that the Model
Dairy building was about the year
1868 occupied by B. Tuttle with a
stock of hardware. Some time later
Mr. futile moved across the street
into the Union building.
AS soon as the labor and material
situation clears somewhat, the over
land Perrin company intend to erect
one of the most modern garages In
the northwest on the site OF the old
buildings. This building as contem-
pated will be built entirely OF steel
and concrete and will have floor
space of SO X 157h feet two stories

Waseca, August 20.-Leonard Ziem-
er, the thirteen-year old son Of Mr..
August Ziemer, was killed yesterday
afternoon when he was struck by a
Packard automobile three miles east
Of this city. He was riding his bicy-
Gle and coming out of the driveway
leading into the premises OF Ed A.
Mittelsteadt he did not notice the on
coming car and the driver did not see
the boy until he was on the road. The
driver turned his car into the ditch
but he had hit the boy. He stopped
the car, picked up the boy and took
him into the Mittelsteadt home. The
lads skull was fractured and he lived
only twenty minutes.
The car was owned by d. A. Ever
EFT of this city and was being driven
down from the cities by Mr.. Christen
sen, an employee of a garage in Min

Three old marks on South Front
street are now being RACED to give
place to a modern fire proof garage
to be built some time in the near
future by the Overland Perrin COM
pany on the site. AS the old build
ings are being taken apart timber
after timber, lumber, which could not
be secured in this day of scarcity of
material is being brought to light.
The buildings were known as the
knott mfg. building, the Singer build
ing and the Model Dairy building. To-
day when razing the Model building
it was found that the / beam Of the
structure consisted of a solid white
oak timber twenty two feet in length
by twelve by sixteen inches in
thickness. AS near as can be ascer-
tanned these buildings were erected
about the year 1868, but despite the
fact that they have been in use fifty
two years the timbers are as sound
as the day they were first placed in
the buildings.
Jacob Hoy, who has the contract
for the removal of the old land marks,
stated to The Free Press to-day that
the oak timber mentioned, would be
worth $50 on the market If it could
be sawed, but it is full of old iron
nails which have broken off in the
wood. Planks and joists without a
knot are also being secured from the
old buildings. 1t would appear that
the Model building was built to coin
eide with the side walk level when it
was first erected, and as the street
was gradually filled in other sets of
joists and floors were built on top to
bring the floor up to where 1t should

work. The men started work at eight
o'clock in the morning and six in the
evening the tabernacle was practical
ly completed. or in other words the
whole structure was put up in a day.
The ladies Of the church offered to
serve the men at noon and. seventy
four men sat down to a delicious din

Methodist church dining room.
Sunday afternoon at three o'clock a
woman's meeting was held in the
tabernacle. Seven hundred women
were in attendance. At the same hour
a mems meeting was held in the Welsh
church and every seat was filed.
This goes to show that both men and
women are very much interested in
these meetings.
The meetings are held at eight
o'clock every evening during the week
and at II a. m. and 1880 p. m. on Sun
days: Everything is closed at night,
which gives everyone q chance to at

are for the benefit Of the community
Great results are expected from these
meetings, which are held for the 10
eral moral and religious uplift of the
community of Lake Crystal.
There is general feeling that the
temporary tabernacle should be made
a permanent structure as all are of
the opinion that 1t could be used as a
splendid community center.

RELIC OF EARLY TIMES
LITTLE WHITE CROSS HELD
By ROCHESTER MAN
1t Was One CIeverIy Carved Out
BY the Son of Little
Crow

Rochester, Mimi, August 20.-John
]. Cassidy. veteran Rochester citizen.
today was exhibiting a most interest
ing souvenir of days long ago,-little
white cross, cut from mother Of pearl
by the son of Little Crow, the fero-
cious Indian warrior who fifty eight
years ago at this time was ravaging
the western prairies OF Minnesota in
one of the most terrible massacres
OF the history of the United States.
Mr. Cassidy was convalescent
soldier at Fort Smelling in the days
Indian uprising. He well remembers
the son OF Little Crow who was talk
en- and brought to the Fort for safe
keeping. The Indian boy was four
teen years old at that time and anus
ed himself by making various little
ornaments from shells and selling
them to the soldiers and visitors at
the fort. Mr.. Cassidy purchased the
cross cut from the pearl and he has
had 1t ever since. He will hand 1t
down to his descendants as remem-
brance Of frontier days.
The Rochester man well remem-
bers the big times attendant on the
Indian massacre. The whites lost
great numbers in dead but. by and
and by soldiers and volunteers rush
ed to the rescue and the Redskins
were driven to the west. Little
Crow. the great chieftain. it is said,
made an attempt to return to the
scene of his bloody deeds and to
start another uprising. He was
spotted by settler who trailed him
into the woods and shot him.
Two other chieftans, Little Six and
Medicine Bottle, fled to the English
territory to the northwest. United
States authorities finally succeeded
in capturing them and bringing them
to Fort Smelling on dog sleds. There
Mr.. Cassidy saw them frequently.
They were finally hanged near the
old tower, and the Rochester
mans brother. George, was one of
the guards about the scaffold.
Mr.. Cassidy does not remember
what became of the son of Little
Crow,-the boy who made the cross
he was exhibiting today.
