THE TURCOTTE INCEST CASE.
The Girl Dies MysteriOusly and the
Father Is Liberated From Jail.

On the 18th of last October Peter
Turotte of Gavelville was arres-
ted charged with criminally know
ing his thirteen-year-old daughter;
it was claimed by the girl that the
crime was several months
before that, but it had not until
then become known to the public.
Turcotte was bound over to the
grand jury to meet in March, and
since then has been in the county jail.
On Monday the Turcotte girl died ut
her home in Gravelville, and as
she had been ia usual good health up
to the last the neighbors knew about
her there was general suspicion
that the case deserved investiga-
ton. The coroner and sh. III were
notified and the remains were brought
to this city and a post-mortem ex-
animation held by the coroner. The
stomach was taken from the body
and sent to Chicago for chemical
examination.
As the only evidence against Tur-
cote on the charge of incest passed
away with the death Of the child, it
was necessary to release the prison
er, which was done yesterday!
The girl was subject to fits, and
we understand the father claims
that it was after restraing her from
violence in one OF these fits that she
made the terrible charge against
him. 1t was also possible that her
death was from natural causes, her
physical condition certainly being
far from good.

and progressive men, and conduct
their business on sound banking
principles and at the same time

the greatest benefits possible from

was found dead, having shot him.

out of the top Of the head. He had
fallen upon his gun in a very peculiar
way, and the gun barrel entered his
head and penetrated through the
cavity made by the bullet, and ex-
tended out of the skull on the top.
The end of the barrel must have been
very near his chin at the time the
load was exploded, as the hole torn
through the head was large.
Deceased was a single man aged %
years, and had no relatives in this
state; brother who lives In Chicago
was notified and arrived Wednesday
The funeral was held yesterday.

HONE BUILDING COMPANY.
Incorporated with $4,000 Capital to
Build Dwelling Houses this
Spring in Little Falls.

spring In LlCCle rails.
The Home Building Company, OF
Little Falls, has been incorporated
this week, and it's work will be OF
great benefit to the city, 1t will at
once build so dwelling houses in this
city, and double that number during
the season, There is vet no adequate
provision for caring for the large in
crease in population that is sure to
come here in the spring and find en-
ploymefft, and somesuch "wholesale'
move as the above was needed. A
large number of dwelling houses will
be built by private parties, and
the total number of buildings of
this class this year will far exceed
any previous years record, and
eclipse anything that neighboring
cities will do. Yet with all this the
demand will scarcely be met.
The new company has capital of
$50, 900, and the incorporators are A.
r. Davidson, Drew Musser, c. +. Nc
Nair, NJ. NJ. and E. o. Williams, W. M.
Fuller, G. A. Weyerhaeueser, J. H.
Rhodes and c. A. Lindbergh of Little
Falls and Jno. A. Berkey and F. G..
Handy, OF st. Paul. The officers of
the company are Jno. A. Berkey, pres
ident; E. o. Williams, secretary; and
A. r. Davidson, treasurer.
The work OF building houses will
begin at once, and they will be built
on the West Side in the vicinity OF
the mills and factories that will
furnish employment to hundreds of
men. After the houses are built the
company will contract to sell them
on 100 equal monthly payments, en-
abling the occupant to secure a home
by paying little more than usual
price for rent; this contract will be
transferable by the occupant, so
that it is inevery way advantageous.
Wherever this plan has been tried in
growing cities it has proved profitable
to the company starting it, conven-
lent and cheap for the man desiring
a home, and of general benefit to the
city. Over $4,000 of this stock has
been taken and all would now be
sold II a limit had not been placed on
the amount offered the present stock
holders. 1t is desired to have the
list of stockholders large rather than
to place it all in the hands of a few,
and with this object in view small
amounts will be offered to business
men and others who are naturally
interested in an enterprise of this
kind. 1t is an investment that will
certainly be profitable, and the more
people Of the city that join in these
profitable and beneficial movements
the more rapid and satisfactory will
be the development Of the city. A
united interest. in all moves to ad-
vance the city's welfare, and an OPP
portunity to all to share in the
profits, are of great benefit, and with
those ends in view an increase in the
number of stockholders is intended.

The. DaYidsOn.Tanner Wedding.

A marriage ceremony of more than
usual interest took place in the
Church Of Our Saviour on Wednes-
day evening OF this week. The con-
tracing parties were MIR. A. R.
Davidson, cashier OF the First
National Bank OF this city, gentle
man well and favorably known in
business and social circles, and Miss
Laure NJ, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
"A. Tanner, a young lady who to
know is to love and esteem. There
were few Invitations issued indeed,
none were invited to the ceremony
ut the church Or house Q? the BRIDES
parents, where Il reception was held
from half past nine until twelve
O'Clock, except near relatives Or very
personal friends. But the church
doors were open to all who desired
to witness the marriage ceremony,
as it Is not the custom of the Episco-
pal church to ever close her doors to
any who may desire to enter, what
ever the office may be that is being
said. The altar cloths were
white and gold. The floor back of
the altar rail and the steps of the
alter were covered with white cloth.
The alter rail was in white. Beauti-
full cut flowers and smilax were
placed on cross, vestabule and
dorset, ported plants were found
here and there in the chancel and
two wax candles were lighted on
either side of the cross. The marri-
age office was said by the Rev. A. A.
Joss rector of the parish. The bride
was escorted to the foot OF the chan
Gel first by two ushers, Messrs Void
and McRea of the First National
Bank, then came Mr.. Bert Tanner,
brother of the bride, who attended as
grOOmsman, and Miss Lou Martin,
of Minneapolis, dear friend OF Miss
Tanner, who was bridesmaid, Miss
Nellie Davidson, sister of the groom,
as maid OF honor, walked alone, then
came the bride supported by her
father. She was dressed in a travel
ing suit OF gray which was both ele-
giant and becoming, and carried in
her hand an exquisite white prayer
book, a gift from the groom, which
she handed, when she reached the
church, to her Rector, and from
which was said the marriage cere-
mony. The groom and his best man,
AIr. H. C. Garvin of Winona, met the
bride from the the vestry. Prof.
Coutu, Of Brainerd, presided at the
organ, played the wedding march
and with more than ordinary ability
and taste accompanied the Rector's
voice while he said the simple, but
beautiful and impressive marriage
office of the Episcopal church. The
happy bride was very pleasantly re-
memberded by her friends and re-
ccived many beautiful and rich pres
cnts. Mr.. and Mrs. Davidson took
the early train for the south, and
