TWAS FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY
JOHN NYOUIST CAME TO MANKATO

Fifty years ago yesterday John
Nyquist arrived in Mankato, and ever
since that time he has made this
city his home. He left his home in
Sweden on April 2. 1878, and the
first fifteen miles of the journey
were made on foot. He sailed from
Chrisuana by way OF England. He
was booked to sail on the steamer
Atlantic; but on account of the boat
being overcrowded, was delayed at
Liverpool for ten days. This was a
fortunate delay for Mr.. Nyquist, for
on that trip the Atlantic sank near
New York, and over seven hundred
people lost their lives.
When Mr.. Nyquist arrived in
Mankato, the town then had a pop
ulation of 3,400 people. Three Of the
men who were then in business in
Mankato are still living. They are
P. K. Wiser, Captain T. H. Andrews,
and NJ. o. Sundt.
Mr.. Nyquist started first as a COM
mon laborer, then took up his trade
of shoemaker, which he had learned
in Sweden, later took up work as
the clothing business in 1883.
When interviewed Mr. Nyquist
said that he is thankful that Provi-
dence led him to Mankato, for he
learned to love the city from the
first day he entered it, and he can
never be made to believe but that
Mankato is the best town in the
best county and the best state In
the union. Mr. Nyquist was old
enough when he left Europe to real
ize conditions over there, so is able
to appreciate that this is the most
country in the world.
While he still has a warm spot in his

Another, echo of the recent red

close in this city the fore part OF
April, was heard today in the an

Chief of Police Phil Ludmark and

who through their attorney, G. j..

actions against Mrs. Adolph nuel-

of alleged false and defamatory
statements.
It is understood that the. out
standing feature of the complaints
refers to particular paragraph in
a communication published in The
Free Press and signed by Mrs.
