rus the road. Down on the fertile lower
bench aud somewhat sheltered by the
timber Mr.. Mercer has some 81. acres Of
garden and potato deld. Aere this year
he and his family have grown some. 600
bushels of dne potatoes, 100, l,ushels !; Of
oniono, several Of carrots, bsets, parsnip.,
beans and variety of like trusk, and the
crop will net result that will put in the

LESSONS FROM TWO TRAGEDIES.


About the first of September, the body
of young woman was found on the beech
near Duluth, partly hidden from obeerva-
ton by brush and bits of bark, which
showed clearly her body had been plaesd
there and cuts and bruses on her head
marked the probability Of a murderer's
victim. After several days of meHtal
speculation and surmisea concerning
the mystery of the, case; ths matter
was partly cleared. up. The yonng
weman's name was Lena Olson, formerly
of Decorah, Iowa, Who had been working
as domestic with some Duluth families
for several years and by her frugality and
care and saved up a neat little com petance
amounting to $500 dollars, with which she
had looked forward to assist in her future
married life-the aim and destiny OF most
woman.
A few months ago PLAUSIBLE, well ap-
peariag young man calling himself A. A.
Austin, claiming to hail from LOS Angeles,
California, made the acquaintance and
proceeded to ingraciate himself until he
won, first her esteem then her affection,
and readily accepted proposition of
marriage. The finale came quickly, and
We have already recorded it when her dead
body was found. and the $500 and new
| ly welded husband missing.
