SUSPENDED SENTENCE

From Mondays Daily
Carl Guiding Appeared Before the
Police Court This Morning.
Carl Cuddling was arrested last
night by Officer Herman Korts on
the charge of drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct. 1t is understood
that Cuddling resisted the officer, who
had a lively tussle with the defen-
dant. While being searched in the
police station Guiding is alleged to
have struck Officer Korts. This
morning the defendant appeared be-
fore Judge Hiram S. Golf in the mu-
nicipal court and was sentenced to
thirty days in the county Jail at hard
labor, but this sentence was sus-
pended on the conditions that the de-
fendart keep steadily at work so as
to support his wife and family, and
refrain from the use of intoxicants.
If these conditions are violated, the
thirty day sentence will be put into
force.
Cuddling used language on the
street and in the police station that
would have Justified the officer in
knocking Guiding into the middle of
next week. A gentleman who was
seated in the police station when
Cuddling was brought in informs The
Free Press that he heard the offen- :
sive language used by the prisoners,
and he wandered why it was that
policemen must put up with such
uncalled for abuse from men whom
they arrest for alleged law violations.

This Will Be Given to the
High Students
COURSE IN THE SCHOOL
Instructor, Miss Clara Robinson,
In Charge; An Aid to
I Merchants

School credit for working in a store,
and getting paid while you earn the
credit-it sounds too good to be true.
But it is true.
A new course to be offered in the Man
kato high school this year, open to
| juniors and seniors, is vocational re-
tail craftsmanship. More of the grad.
yates of our high school go into some
form of retail selling than into any
other one occupation" said superin-
tendent E. S. Selle this morning, land
this course is put in to give these
young people training for this work.
1t is of value not only to the students,
but it is OF value to the merchant as
WELL for they will soon have a group
OF trained sales people from whom
they can select their employees, in
stead of having to break in" help that
is entirely unframed in store methods
For this reason, number of the Man
kato stores are CO. operating to make
this course success
- preliminary instruction
Each student that enrolls Will be
given preliminary instruction in the
class room for a period of six weeks
or two months, and will then be ready
to take part-time position in some
store. He will continue with all of his
other school work, but will work at
store tasks on Saturdays, during
Christmas Holidays, and few hours
per week on school days He will be
watched and helped by his instructor
in cooperation with the proprietor OF
the store, and will learn more about
retail selling in a month, the school
authorities think, than he could learn
In year in the class ROOM The stu
dent will be paid for his work in the
store IN accordance with the provisions
OF the minimum wage law.

LYMAN BA|RDPASSES
Was WeII-knoWn Resident
OF Minnesota
LONG LIVED IN AUSTIN
Some Months Ago. He Sought
To Be Appointed United
= States Treasurer

Lyman D. Baird. wealthy resident
Of Austin, who has been prominent in
Minnesota public life for more than a
quarter century, died late Sunday at
Mound Park sanitarium, where he
had been resting after a nervous
breakdown suffered last spring Death,
according to attending physicians,
was caused by heart disease. .
Mr.. Baird was to have returned to
his home at Austin early next week,
according to attendants at the sani-
tarium. His sudden death, they said,
was FASTENED by a severe attack of
liver complaint about ten days ago.
Wanted to Be Federal Treasurer.
Mr.. Baird's neurotic condition was
said to have been brought on early
last spring following a strenuous cam
paign which he conducted for ap-
pointment as United States treasurer.
His candidacy was strengthened by
hundreds OF Endorsements to Presi-
dent Harding, but was said to have
lacked the approval Of the two United
States senators from Minnesota. He
failed also in a later attempt at ap-
pointment as comptroller Of currency.
Mimi, October II, 1857, and when a
child, moved with his parents to Aus
tin. He received his education in
Minnesota institutions, and at the
age OF twenty three years, was ad-
mitted to the bar.
Got Together Big Fortune.
He did not practice, however. His
peculiar inclination toward business
led him into real estate and later into
banking. From these two fields, he
was reported to have amassed con-
siderable wealth. =
At Austin he was regarded one of
the foremost citizens of the COM
munity. He served as mayor for many
years, and held also every other pub
lie position of importance. In state
affairs, he was identified with the
Minnesota State Fair association. He
was president, and also served on the
board for term of eight years.
Surviving Mr.. Baird, are his widow,
two brothers, G. Baird of st. Paul.
and Edward Baird of Graceville, and
one sister. Mrs.~Grace Wetwiler Of
Austin.
The body will be taken to Austin
today. Funeral services will take
place from the family residence there
Wednesday, 1t was announced.
