Forced Collection.

A young man named Johnson arrived
in the city on Friday from the west In
box car over the Great Northern road
from Fergus Falls, He says that he
gave brakeman $500 for permission
to so ride. Arriving here the brakeman
attempted to collect more money, and
under threats took eighty cents more,
Johnson claiming that was all he had,
The brakeman, he said went through his
pockets, and then told him to get back
into the car, and helped him in. But the
terrified young man made his escape
and reported the circumstances. He
claims that he lost watch in the deal
but is not certain the brakeman took it.
Officer Coats telegraphed to st. Cloud to
have two brakemen arrested and turned
over to Officer Murphy, who was in St.
Cloud, to be brought back by him, and
it was done. Only one of them was
wanted, however, but both were brought
back that Johnson might identify the
one who made the forced collection. On
Saturday the fellow was arraigned be-
fore Judge Barto, but as there was not
sufficient evidence to substantiate the
charge the brakeman was discharged.
During his examination he acknowledged
that it was the custom of brakemcn to
levy tribute on box car passengers. On
one train it is said that $4,000 was SO
collected.

Business Education

All young people who are thinking of
attending Commercial College this fall
and winter should address the University
of Commerce and Finance, Gle Nicollet
Ave. Minneapolis, Mimi, for handsome
illustrated prospectus. This is one of
the foremost commercial colleges in the
Northwest and sustains the following
courses. Commercial, Shorthand and
Typewriting, English, Telegraphy, and
Electrical Engineering. The graduates
of this institution are qualified for the

Drowned.

On Friday morning last the city was
aroused by the report that John Shep.
ard, an aged fisherman, who has spent
the past dozen years or more on and
about the lake fishing, had gone out on
one of his accustomed trips up the lake
the preceding day, and had not re-
turned, and it was feared he was
drowned. He left his home on Thursday
forenoon, telling his wife that he would
be back early, but she did not feel I'M
easy until evening, for she knew that
her husband was an expert boatman
and go ID swimmer, and he had fire.
quently made light of her solicitude tor
him on many previous occasions. Her
son Edwin came home from his work at
the Keller factory in the evening, and
while he had no fears tor the safety OF
his father, yet to satisfy his mother he
got friend to take a boat and skirt one
shore of the lake while he rowed along
the other. They were out several hours,
but found no traces of the missing man
and returned. Even then Mrs. Shepard
felt that he had probably been taken
sick, had gone ashore and would come
home in the morning. Not returning,
searching parties were formed and pro-
ceeded up the lake, and opposite the
Pangburn brickyard his boat was found
anchored in about eight feet of water.
only two or three rods from the shore,
with its fishing tackle all neatly ar
ranged as though it had been packed up
ready for returning. There were few
fish in the boat. fhe party making this
discovery, consisting of R. T. Greene,
George Fish and August Peterson, soon
found the body lying face downward on
the bottom of the lake: Others came to
their aid, and the body was raised by
means of hooks, and brought home.
The presumption is that he either had
an apoleptic stroke and fell overheard,
or else was attempting to raise the
anchor and fell overheard. His wife is
inclined to the first theory, as he was a
good swimmer. near shore, and mad
several times fallen into the lake and
easily saved himself. His funeral was
largely attended on Saturday, Rev. J. A.
Wood officiating.
John Shepard was born in Wybridge,
VT, in 1920, and remained there several
years, going from there to Canton, N. Y,
where he was married, and three child
rem were born to them, Walker, who
lives in Michigan, Edwin, resident OF
this city, and john W., who died about
three years ago. Twenty-four years
ago the family came west and settled at
Glenwood on farm. After four years
residence there they came to this city
where they have since resided. He was
of a genial and buoyant disposition,
industrious and frugal, and had scores
of friends among all classes. His loss
will be keenly felt. His wife and son
have hearty sympathy in their affection.

The members of the local chapter OF
the Phi Beta Kappa at tbs University
met yesterday afternoon for the election
of new members from the senior class

members are always chosen on the basis
OF scholarship. The new men elected are
taken from the senior class, the number
Icing limited to one-tentn of the class,
and there are usually two ballotings,
the four or five seniors with the high est
standing being elected some time in the
early fall and the remainder of the dele
cation later in the year. The honor of
election is highly esteemed, as the society
has a national reputation and numbers
many prominent men among its alumni.
The formal announcement of the men
elected was made at chapel this morn
ing. They were Allen Barto, Theodore
Clark, E. P. Harding and William Sim
