Mfg GAZETTE. <br />LZETTE. <br />IKVINO TODD a SON. <br />aATURP*Y FEBRUARY 1. 1908. <br />A Targe number of our subs'"ibera <br />have complied . with the new post <br />office regulations during the past two <br />weeks, the yellow labels showing a <br />decided change for the better. The <br />weeding out process begins next <br />mouth, and it is hoped that very. <br />few names, if any, will have to be <br />eliminated from the mailing lists for <br />want of payment in advance. It, is <br />just as easy to pay at the beginning <br />as at the end of the year, when the <br />habit is fully acquired, and much <br />more satisfactory to all concerned. <br />The department of agriculture de- <br />cides that the car of flour from the <br />Gardner Mill, held in Chicago last <br />week, wan ma labeled according to <br />the provisions of the pure food law, <br />which is denied by Mr. Carter, and <br />the matter may go to the courts for <br />final determination. It is a question <br />of interest to butt millers and grain <br />growers, the point raised by the de- <br />partment being that durum is not a <br />hard .spring wheat. <br />An important amendment to the <br />law creating toe nshiproad overseers <br />appears to have met the same fate as <br />that redecing the salary of the pub- <br />lic exailiiiier. beim/ omitted from the <br />enrolled hill signed by the governor. <br />It was to give towns an option of <br />changing to the new law, and was <br />adopted by both houses. The re- <br />sponsibility, of course, rests with <br />some irresponsible clerk. <br />It is estimated that ten per cent of <br />our fires are caused by the careless <br />use of matches, upwards of $600,000 <br />annually. If people would use -noth- <br />ing but sulphur or safety matches a <br />large proportion of this loss would be <br />avoided. It is the so called parlor <br />e Batch that is particularly dangerous. <br />.1. Adam Bede suggests that a <br />matrimonial bureau be established'by <br />the government, to give the women a <br />chance to do the proposing, under <br />,civil service rules. In outer words, <br />to eliminate the serpent from future <br />Allam and Eve stunts. <br />The place foD.l. F. Jacobson is in <br />the house of representatives, as <br />chairman of the committee on appro- <br />priations. where be would be worth <br />a hundred fold more to the state <br />and the tax payers than in the <br />governor's chair. • <br />James Jlanahan, of St. Paul, has <br />filed complaints with the railroad <br />commissioners against the Northern <br />Pacific and (;rent Northern, claiming <br />that the two roads are receiving over <br />$100.000 a yetir overweights on live <br />stock shipments. <br />Dr T.. E. W. V. Appleby, of St. <br />Paul. although drawing an annuity <br />of $10 000 from the A., H. Wilder <br />estate by marriage, has defaulted in <br />a grocery bill of $273. Why not lop <br />off some of the name and go to work? <br />Israel Skoll, a Poland Jew living <br />in Minneapolis at the age of one <br />hundred and one years, is planning for <br />his one hundred and ,tenth birthday. <br />He confidently believes that he will <br />be alive and active Dec. 17th, 1916. <br />A L Sloss, cashier of the First <br />National Bank at Appleton, commit- <br />ters suicide on Saturday Fp. blowing <br />out his brains with a shpt gun. The <br />cause is supposed to be melancholia, <br />produced h) over work. <br />The government has abolished the <br />cruse of surveyor general in this <br />state: the records to be turned over <br />to the secretary of state, with M. <br />C. Lund, of Wabasha, as deputy in <br />charge. <br />The state board of pardons has <br />commuted the. death sentence of M. <br />S. >lunn, the Beltrami murderer, to <br />imprisonment for life. According to <br />precedent this is about .twenty five <br />years. "'t <br />It is a settled fact that W.

Brennan, father <br />of Michael Brennan, and the murder- <br />ed man. It appears that Anthon3 <br />was plowing in the field, acd was <br />ordered to keep off the line. A heat- <br />ed controversy followed, Michael <br />being struck across the jaw with a <br />wooden paddle by Anthony, and the <br />latter shot in the 'Stomach by Mich- <br />ael, who was placed under arrest, <br />and bis father held as accessory. <br />Ther principals in the unfortunate <br />tragedy are not related. <br />The following jurors were selected, <br />the first nine being from the original <br />panel: <br />William Teare, Nininger, farmer. <br />T.

The first witness was C. A. <br />Forbes, county surveyor, who sub- <br />mitted a plat of the two pieces of <br />land occupied by the parties in ques- <br />tion, and upon which the murder was <br />committed. William Brennan, of St. <br />Paul, said that he was in Lakeville <br />the day his brother was shot, and <br />saw him about fifteen minutes before <br />he died. Dr. T. J.

Dr. Dodge also stated <br />that he was present when A thony <br />died. Edward H. Brennan, o St. <br />Paul, a son of Anthony, and the <br />eye witness, testified that be and his <br />father were plowing in the field Aug. <br />27th, when the latter was accused of <br />trespass by Michael N. Brennan, saw <br />him beckon to Michael to come down <br />from the barn, heard his father called <br />a liar, saw the blow with the paddle, <br />and that Michael shot three times. He <br />was then about twenty-six rods away, <br />driving towards them. The incidents <br />of going after a buggy, taking his <br />father home, and telephoning for Dr. <br />Gaffney were detailed in a very few <br />words, and the positions in the field <br />located upon the map. John Bre <br />nan, of Lakeville, a cousin or <br />Anthony, was at the house that day, <br />and heard W. F. Roche tell bim that <br />be was in a precarious condition and <br />had better make an ante mortem <br />statement, which was done. W. F. <br />Roche, of Lakeville,' identified the <br />ante mortem statement taken by him, <br />and now in the possession of the <br />county attorney. Miss Annie Bren• <br />nan, of St. Paul, a sister of Anthony, <br />was banded the wooden paddle by. <br />Edward after the occurrence. Ed- <br />ward Burke, of Si.:Paul,ap uncle of <br />Anthony, told of certain threat; <br />which Michael N.

She told of her <br />son bringing his father front the field, <br />telling her that he had been shot. <br />She described the garments that he <br />wore, identifying' the overrlls and <br />knife offered i4 evidence. Albert <br />Batten, a blind man from Lakeville, <br />said he knew Michael N. Brennan, <br />and started to tell of some trouble <br />between bim and Anthony abouta <br />year ago, which was stricken out. <br />Thomas O'Connell, of Lakeville, <br />testified as to location of roadway <br />and ownership of, lad, and to con - <br />account of tmuhle with Anthony. <br />W. A. Gray, justice of the peace in <br />Farmington, produced records show- <br />ing that Michael N. Brennau had <br />been arrested for making threats <br />and placed under bonds to keep the <br />pesos.. The court ordered this testi- <br />Loony stricken out, on motion of <br />counsel for defense. Emery Norton, <br />of Lakeville, stated that in passing <br />rear of jail in Lakeville that evening <br />he heard the young man tell his fa- <br />ther that he wouldn't have been put <br />there only for him. The state then <br />rested. <br />At two p. m. Albert Schaller opened <br />• for the defense, with a concise vers - <br />slop of the affair from their standpoint. <br />W. L. Kelly, jr., a- St. Paul at- <br />torney, testified as to the quiet <br />' and peaceful disposition of Mich. <br />ael N.

Michael Brennan then came <br />along and told his father to come <br />home with him. He took the re- <br />volver away from his father, and <br />Anthony, becoming angry, assaulted <br />Michael with a paddle, striking him <br />over the jaw. Michael fired a shot, <br />and, Anthony still charging upon <br />him with knife drawn, a second shot <br />was fired. He didn't see Anthony <br />drop to the ground.
