LOttie Collins Kick.

Lottie Collins is the young lady who
took an American song and made it
so popular that it became craze
and filled the atmosphere with
"Ta-ra-ra BOom-de-ay." With it she
registered kick that entranced the
patrons of London music halls. She
registered another and still harder
kick when she was lured over to this
country by the prospects of a higher
salary and reached here in time to en-
counter the cholera scare and be quar-
antined, The latter kick was harder,
straighter and more vicious than the
ordinary one, but it was not as
effective as the other. The man who
takes the Saint Paul & Duluth Rail-
road never has kick coming, because
the line, the service and the ride it
offers to the public are such as to
make it popular with everybody.
Such a favorite is it that it is already
known everywhere as the Duluth
Short Line. Between St. Paul, Min
neapolis, Saltwater, Duluth and West
Superior it runs fine equipment over
a smooth rOadbed on convenient
schedules in such a manner as to win
the favor of the travling public and
make it the peoples popular route

AN INTERESTING CASE.

The Lake Crystal Mirror contains
an account of an interesting law suit
at Garden City, in which e. t. Nor

of their young sons, are the contest
ants.
1t seems that E. T. Norton had fur
nished his two young boys each with a
pair of skates. One of these pair dis
appeared it is claimed. and last Sum
day young Bob Norton thought he
discovered his skates on the feet OF
Erwin Bemis, on the river, and promp-
tly claimed them. BemiS told him he
had borrowed the skates of Myron
Linsley and refused to give them up.
The case was reported to the elder
Norton and young LinSley was arrest
ed upon a warrant issued by Justice
R. X. Wilson and brought before him
On Tuesday forenoon. A jury was i'm
paneled but not yet sworn, when Mr..
Loomis, step father of young Linsley,
appeared and demanded an adjourn
ment for the purpose of obtaining
counsel. His demand was granted and
the case postponed until Wednesday
at 10 O'Clock. Norton, it is reported,
started at once for Lake Crystal, and
some time after he had started LOOMS
was informed that Norton had gone
to Lake Crystal to secure w. ii. Cole
as his attorney. Mr.. Cole being the
attorney wanted by Mr.. Loomis, he at
once at hitched up speedy roadster
and took after Mr.. Norton, Overtakine
him about four miles from Lake Crys.

Norton shaved little too close and
sent the buggy over, splitting its badly

the advantage, however, slightly in
favor of LoomiS, who increased his
lead, reached town first and at once
sought and retained Mr.. Cole, Mr.
Norton subsequently securing Mr.

tried Wednesday, in Beebe's hall
which was filed to it's fullest capacity
by an eager throng of interested spec

was finally decided by the evidence
that young Bob Norton had made q
mistake in identifying his skates and
