MRS. SUCCE'I1'I|
FEDERAL JUDGE w. F. BOOTH
UPHoLDs THE WRIT OF
lHABEAs CORPUS.
RE = ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY
ON ANOTHER CHARGE.
BITTER FIGHT.

TeueFdi JudgeA WHDur ~. bOOtn IN
chambers in United States District
Court at Minneapolis, late Friday
afternoon, upheld the writ of habeas
corpus secured by the attorneys of
Mrs. C. Y. Suggett Of Mirror, Alberta,
Canada, for their client, and ordered
her release from custody in the Henne-
pin county jail at Minneapolis. The
courts decision Of this case followed a
review Of the testimony presented at a
hearing before United States Court
Commissioners Howard S. Abbott in
Minneapolis recently, when Mrs, Sug-
gett was temporarily released on
$4,000 bonds, pending the final action
of the federal court.
Re-Arrested Immediately.
Mrs. Suggett was re-arrested i'm
mediately after being released from
custody by order Of Judge Booth, on a
charge similar to the one upon which
she was arrested at Sleepy Eye by
Deputy Sheriff Herman r. Jahnke at
the request of Provincial Detective
u. @. Scott Of Red Deer, Alberta
Canada, some weeks ago. A hearing
son the second charge was held before
Judge Booth Monday and yesterday,
but up to the; time. Of going to press no
reports as to the outcome Of these pro
ceedings had reached New Ulm.
Second Charge More Serious.
The charge upon which Mrs. Sug-
gets first arrest was based, resulted
from evidence which the Canadian
authorities claim to have secured from
a Mrs. Anna Olson Of Mirror, Alberta,
Canada, to the effect that Mrs. Sug-
gett had performed criminal opera
ton for Mrs. Olson. The latter had
made deposition setting forth al
legged facts in the case, which was
turned over to the authorities at Mir
ror, but at the hearing before Court
Commissioner Abbott in Minneapolis
Mrs. Olson appeared personally as a
witness for the defense and contra
dicted the statements made by her in
the deposition. Judge Booth ruled
that the verbal evidence Of the woman
supersedes her deposition. As a basis
for Mrs. Suggett's second arrest, the
Canadian authorities submitted evi.
dence accusing the defendant of as.
sisting in performing criminal opera.
ton on a Mrs. Bunnell, who died al.
most Immediately thereafter. The
case has created considerable interest
in Brown County, and especially al
Sleepy Eye, where relatives Of the
accused woman reside, and the fna
outcome Of the attempt to secure hel
extradition to Canada is awaited with
a good deal Of suspense.

SPURIOUS CHECKS I
YOUNG NEW ULMITE CAsHEs
WORTHLESS PAPER TO
AMOUNT OF $35.
USES BLANK CHECKS OF TWO
BANKS. FATHER MAKES
RESTITUTION.

But for the fbndness of loving
father, Otto Macho, aged 20, of this
city, would now be languishing in the
county jail, awaiting prosecution on
the charge of issuing checks on banks
in which he had no funds deposited,
and the prison bars would cast a
gloomy shadow over him. i,
4. Cashed Spurious Checks.
Young Macho, according to the local
police, cashed at least four spurious
checks in New Ulm last week and at
tempted to secure more money Tor
another. He evidently experienced no
difficulty in turning the worthless
pieces of bank paper into coin OF the
realm, until one or two of the checks
had been returned to local financial
institutions by the banks upon which
they were drawn, one of. which being
located at Olivia, Mimi, and the other
at Huron, S. D.
Secures at Least SIS.
One Of the checks were cashed in
"sBig Bill, Pfeifer's soft drink parlor
on North Broadway. It called for
$500. The other three were presented
for payment at Veigel Bros thirst
emporium on South Minnesota street
and also paid. Two Of these were e for
$500 EACH. while the other was for
$1,000. Macho appeared at the for
mer ablishment around ! ! o'clock
Saturday night to cash another check
for $500, but Mr.. Pfeiffer had al
ready ascertained that the check he
had previously cashed for the young
man was worthless and refused to
honor the second check. He reported
the matter to the police and Macho
was apprehended.
Father Makes Restitution.
The young mans father called at the
police station early Monday morning
and made restitution for the wrongs Of
his son, so far as satisfying the holders
of the spurious checks was concerned
The total of these worthless pieces Of
paper aggregated $500. It is not
known by the police whether or not
Young Macho cashed any other
spurious checks here. It is said that
! he had committed a similar trans.
erosion at Mankato about a week o.
| 10 days ago.
Macho is plumber and has worked
| at Huron, S. D., and Olivia, and it il
believed that he came into possession
Of the blank checks while employed
there.

OLD ENEMIES By CLOSE
SCORE.

FROM GREEN ISLE AND
BALAT,oN. j,

New Ulm's winning streak was
broken! And that by Sleepy Eye, our
old rivals. Before crowd Of 1000
people the local boys bowed their
heads in defeat by Jack Reitter's aggre-
cation Of ball players. From near and
far had Jack reached out his purse to
induce the players to play for Sleepy
Eye and it can be said to his credit
that he had assembled! a crack aggre-
CATION. But there is still. glory in
defeat. The fact remains that New
Ulm has the better ball team and as
Tor the twirling well the box score
will Indicate.
One Lone Tally.
& With the breaks of the game n their
favor Sleepy Eye scored the one lone
tally in the sixth inning, when a single
and a double, which were their only
two hits of the game, followed by
sacrifice brought in the winning run.
Although New Ulm hit Pyell for seven
hits, several Of which were scratch hits.
they were unable to push any runs
across, poor base running being the
main cause. Sleepy Eye with but one
chance to score managed to push it
across while New Ulm with several
chances was unable to. 1t is sad but
true. But the game is over; Sleepy
Eye won by fair tactics and all that
we can do is to wait for revenge when
the return game viii be played.
Large Crowd.
! One of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed a. bali game in, these parts
attended the Sleepy Eye-New Ulm
game as there were over 1000 people
present and it can be said without
hesitation that they got their moneys
worth.
Good Umpiring.
Contrary to custom, the umpiring
| in Sundays game was satisfac tory to
both sides. Younger Of Franklin, was
Sleepy Eyes choice, while Lade, a
local travelling man was New Ulm's
pick. The umpires gave the best they
| had and at no time was there any kick
| from either side.
Return Came.
The New Ulm management is trying
to get a return game with the Sleepy
Eye team for August and if this can
be arranged we should have crowd of
at least two thousand people. Watch
for further announcements.

river and fish. They had waited some
time for r. C. Potter, a farmer living
in Sherman township, Redwood coun-
ty; Ben. Rathmann, garage owner Of
Morgan, and Jacob Discher, but as
they did not arrive promptly, Muen-
chow and August Discher started out
alone for the place in the river where
the party was to fish. The three other
members of the party arrived there a
short time later.
Got Into Deep Hole.
At that point there is a very deep
hole in the bed of the stream, and
although Muenchow's father had
warned him repeatedly to beware of
the treacherous declivity, the young
man evidently got into it somehow
and Immediately sank below the sur
face. His companions were not able
to rescue him.
Body Recovered.

notified at $3.50 o'clock Sunday morn
ing and gave the informant instructions

Herman F. Jahnke volunteered to
render assistance, provided the Nicollet
county official would request it.. The
trouble makers must have been sub

nothing further was heard from the
scene of turmoil.
Three Gashes in Face.
The injured Russian, whose name is
said to be Peter Kossak, sustained a
good-sized bump on the side of his
head, just above the right ear, the skin
being bruised somewhat, and there
were three ugly gashes in his face, one
about an inch and half long in The
forehead, another down the center Of
his chin, being about an inch in length
and triangular cut in the left side O
his upper lip. Several stitches were
required to properly dress the wounds
