wolf, weighing between forty five
and fifty pounds, Wednesday morn
ing, about one and one half mile

some time shooting at can in his
backyard. Then he called up two
OF his friends, who are crack shots
at times. Judge Harry Johnson and
They did, and Mr.. Spicer took his
two hounds along. They started at
day break and reached Judson just
when the wolves were taking their
early mornings gymnastics. The
men, were never so excited IN all
theif lives, they ran a circle and
the hounds followed. Then Mr..
Nyquist regained his EQUILIBRIUM
and started to shoot but forgot his
gun wasn't loaded SO he made a
home run to the car. BY this time.
the barking hounds had frightened
the wolves away, and the men sat
down to rest awhile. Suddenly the
hounds started baying again and
the hunters hid behind the high
weeds near fence when a large
wolf came with in range and Mr..
Nyquist with steady aim brought 1t
to the ground.

fell before the guns OF local hunters
yesterday on the. opening day Of the
small game season. Many of the
hunters bagged the limit of birds,
but owing to the fine weather, and
the high flight of the water fowl,
some nimrods did not fare 80 well
afield as they would like to. Teals
seem to have been the most plentit !
full according to the accounts of re-
turned sportsmen. ~ =. ~
Game Warden w. e. Polzin was
on the job, yesterday, to see that
the laws were not violated. He
swooped down on four unsuspecting
duck hunters who were hunting in

that this is against the law. These
four men, William Jennings, Carl

Judge William Stradtmann in the
mitted their guilt and each was
sentenced to pay the minimum fine

TWO STATE BANKS
WERE BROKEN INTO
Robbers Made Getaways With
Cash From Mazeppa
And Grandy
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.]

Mazeppa, MINI, September IA
Robbers broke into the Peoples
State bank here early, today, and
after cutting all wires. rined the
vault of $500 in silver, but failed in
their attempts to get into the large
safe in the vault.
Before entering the bank, the
thieves broke into the Olstad garage
here and obtained an acetylene outfit.
They succeeded in burning large
hole through the door of the vault,
but were unsuccessful in their ef-
forts to get into the safe. They
managed to penetrate the safe door
about three inches, but 1t Is believ-
ed the heavy smoke prevented them
from carrying out their Intentions.
Grandy Bank Robbed.
Cambridge, Mimi, September IA.
The State Bank of Grandy, near
here, was entered by robbers early
today who obtained loot totalling
$275 in cash and negotiable papers,

acetylene torch to burn their way
through a heavy steel guard door.
The money taken had been left out
side the vault and was in a money
tray. An attempt was made to gain
entrance into the safe but this was

NINE MET IN REUNION
Survivors Ninth Regiment Voiun-

Survivors Ninth Regiment Voiun-
teers Gathered In Minneapolis
Nine comrades in arms members
of the Ninth Regiment Minnesota
Volunteer Infantry, who had fought
through the southland during the
Civil War recently met in reunion in
Minneapolis, and after eating the
best in the land swapped stories OF
the old days when they were boys
and wore the blue. Their ranks
were sadly depleted in this last
reunion, the dark locks OF their
youth had turned to snowy white,
the step mad lost its snap, but the
eyes shown with the fire OF youth,
and the hearts glowed with warmth,
as the old boys sat about the ban
Quet board and recopnted their
adventures in the war OF the Re-
bellion.
1t was in 1852 that the Ninth
REGIMENT Minnesota Volunteer In
fantry was organized and mustered
into the service of the United states
with a membership of about 1,5OO.
.ater with recruits the membership
was Increased to 1000. After all the
Intervening years since the war be-
tween the North and South, the
members have dwindled to only
eighty two and these are scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
A few days ago a thin skirmish
line of these old veterans gathered
at the home of one of their members
DIR. Kee Wakefield at 464S Dupont
avenue, South Minneapolis. Those
present. were DR.. Kee Wakefield,
William Reemes, William Lowell,
James Clark, George w. Mead, Tai
williams, Henry Howard, and John
L. johnson. Five hours were very
pleasantly spent swapped yarns
and refreshing memories of the long
and tedious matches and anecdotes
of the battles and camp Life. A de-
lightful banquet was served by the
host to the Joy of the old boys.
Colonel George w. Mead OF this
city, who was one Of guests at this
gathering, stated to The Free Press
to day that very large part OF the
Old Nineth Minnesota Volunteer
Infantry was recruited in Mankato
but that there are but three living
members in Mankato. They are:

DOUGLAS A. REED
DIED IN CALIFORNIA
Former Well-knoWn Attorney
In Lake CrystaIWas Strick-
en- Yesterday

John A, Farmer is In receipt Of
news today, of the sad death Of
Douglas A. Reed, former resident Of
Lake Crystal and we'll known in
Mankato, which occurred at Los An
geles, Calf, yesterday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock. Last Tuesday Mr..
Reed underwent an operation for
gallstones at Good Samaritan Hos
pital in Los Angeles and the shock
caused his death.
Mr.. Reed was born in Lake Crys-
tai sixty three years ago, and was
reared to manhood on a farm near
that village. He attended the rural
and village schools, and then came
to the Mankato high school from
which he graduated with highest
honors, Mr.. Reed being an unusual
ly bright and quick to learn student.
After completing his school work
here Mr.. Reed attended the State
law department. He was admitted
to practice law and for years con-
tinued in his profession in Lake
Crystal, later engaging in the real
estate business. About ten years
ago Mr.. Reed retired and moved
with his family to st. Paul, and five
or six years ago they moved to Cal
ifornia which has since been their
home.
Mr.. Reed was a splendid gentle
man and citizen. possessing a bril-
liant legal mind. He was always
true and loyal to his friends and
home, honorable and upright in all
his dealings, his word being as good
as his bond.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and two sons, who were at his bed =
side when death occurred.
The funeral and burial will take
place at Los Angeles, Monday.
