SIGN POINTED THE WAY
Tourist Tells How He Was induced
To Come To Mankato

To Come To Mankato
The boosters for Mankato did a
fine thing when they erected signs
about the country stating that Man
kato was one hundred miles from
that point and there were free camp
grounds. Yesterday, while on his
way to the National Citizens bank,
A. f. Quimby met tourist driving
a car with pendant Seattle" on
it. He told Mr.. Quimby that he
had driven from Seattle and had
found the ROADS very poor. especial
ly through Utah and on to Omaha
The tourist was rather discouraged
and wanted to rest few days and
have his car repaired. He was un
decided as to what place he would
stop and while travelling a high
way came to the large steel Man
kato sign. He said he read It over
and then decided that any town
which would put up sign like that
was progressive so he came to this
city and is now camped at Highland
park. He has great praise for the
park as a camping place. He also
stated that in many places fee is
charged for accommo dations In the
camp grounds.

Fish. eTenser'
Mind Product
Local Citizen
Something That Will In
duce Inhabitants of
Water To Bite

George Thomas, the local inventor
and radiator man, has invented what
is known as the TORPEDO shaped
minnow can. which likewise can be
used for a bobber when fishing for
large fish. This is vouched for by
p. NJ. ferguson, manager of the Citi
zens Telephone company, an expert
fisherman who could tell key Wal :
ton a few things about landing fish
The minnow pail in question is a
curious continuance and is the pro :
duct Of the brains of the aforesaid
Mr.. Thomas. 1t is in shape of tor
pedo with air chambers placed al
either end and fin on the bottom
to keep 1t floating straight as it Is
pulled behind the boat. The pail like
wise has holes in il SO that the
minnows contained therein can not
only see out but can get fresh water
to live in. :.
Mr.. Thomas also calls it a"teaser."
Minnows floating in this cone shap.
ed pail behind the boat entices the
fish from the surrounding territory
in the lake to the presence of the
minnow pail where it is only small
matter for Mr. Thomas to hook
them, SO expert is he with a fishing
rod. .r.
Mr.. Thomas has painted the tor
pedo pail with the colors of his
country, he being a very loyal
American. The one end is painted
red, the middle white, and the other
end blue and with this arraneement
OF colors he can likewise use the
minnow pail for a bobber when fish :
ing for large fish in northern waters
The minnow pail can be used for a
life preserver. due to the air cham
bers contained therein, possibly
this thought was brought home to
the inventor by the fact that he fell
out of the boat last year while fish
ing. Now all he has to do is to grasp
the minnow pail as he falls out OF
the boat, due to the efforts Of haul
ing in some large carp, and he will
be as safe as if sitting on dry land
under a shade tree. :
Mr.. Thomas states that he would
be very well pleased to show his
model to anyone who wishes to see
ii and II you will call at his place
on Hickory street, he will be very
glad to show you the deyice and ex
plain its workings.

BOOZE RUNNERS PLNcHEo
They Were Taken BY Deputy Sher.
iH At MadeIja .

Madel1d, May 1.-TWO men rid
ing in a 1919 model Studebaker car,
drove into the Forstner Bros. garage
Wednesday morning and complained
that their car would not run at a
speed greater than forty miles an
hour without splitting" They want
ed to go faster, and said that they
should be able to make sixty miles
or better. Theodore Forstner, who is
a deputy sheriff, got into the car
with one of the men, and took it Out
for trial. He found that it ran
smoothly up to about forty miles an
hour, but did not work right at a
higher speed. 1t was taken back to
garage for inspection.
While Mr.. Forstner was in the car
he noticed a blanket was thrown
over something in the toneau. While
he was looking over the engine the
two strangers asked a few questions
about certain local parties, and one
Of the men went out to look for a
man whom he wanted to see. when
he returned to the garage his part
ner asked him If he bad seen his
he was busy and said we would
have to see him some other time. He
also told me that someone had
squealed." ...., ...r. q.
The above line of talk, together
with the suspicious looking lump
under the blanket, gave officer For
stner a pretty good hunch and he
was reasonably certain that the men
were engaged in the booze peddling
business He went into his office
and slipped his gun into his, pocket,
returned to the car and told the
men it would require considerable
time to make such adjustments as
we're necessary. They were in a hur-
ry, they said and couldn't wait. so
they backed their car out of the gar
age Mr.. Forstner followed them out
and when the driver was about to-
shift his gears to 20 forward, the of
fieer Jumped onto the running board
and commanded him to stop. At the
same time Mr.. Forstner jerked the
blanket to one side and revealed a
gallon Of booze in a glass container
He then gave the men orders to
drive the car back into the garage.
When the officer informed the
men that they were under arrest
one man jumped from the car and
started to run, but he stopped in his
tracks when Mr. Forstner pulled his
gun and shouted halt" The two
men were taken to the village Jail
to await developments.
County Attorney, J. L. Lobben
the annual conclave of the grand
court was in session at St James,
the two men were taken before
Judge Comstock Wednesday after
noon. charged with transporting in
toxicants. The men gave their names
as George Peart and Alfred Hillebo,

about twenty three says he is single.
When arranged before the court

Of $3.50. Hillebo plead not guilty,
claiming that he was merely riding
with the other man. He was placed
under bonds of $500 to appear at the
