The demora]izing influence Of
the publication Of such sensa-
tons as the Hayward case upon
the young mind is clearly proved
by the following item:
St. Cloud Times: "A few days af-
ter the Hayward hanging a party OF
small boys out at West End. who had
read and heard much about it, decided
to have a hanging rehearsal. This
nearly ended in a terrible tragedy. A
little fellow about nine years of age:
son of William F. Lueck, Of the Great
Northern shops, volunteered to play
Harry. The boys gathered in a barn,
procured a rope, strung itover a joist.
made a moose, put it over the little
fellows head, stood him on barrel,
pulled the black cap down, kicked the
barrel away which left young Lueck
hanging in the air, and danced around
him in high glee. The noise and
shouting attracted the attention of the
mother, who, ran out to the barn,
where to horror she found her son
gasping ind almost dead. She had
presence of mind sutficientto raise him,
and loosen the moose, otherwise he
would have been dead boy in few
minutes longer. The boy is said to be
suffering considerable from his in
juries to-day.

between that country and Great Bri-
tain is about the size Of our state

The commission having the
matter in charge first located
the site for the proposed Fourth
Insane Asylum at Hastings,

themselves after the most mod
ern patterns. "Anoka Pease'
closed one of his Distinguishing
editorials in this manner:
Darn the governor, darn the com
1nission-or four Of them, darn Hast
ings, and darn the whole business
from beginning to end
But later the commission
turned right around and gave
Anoka the institution. Who Car
blame the distinguishes for insln
uating that the commission die
this last act in order to save the
transportation of so many Anokf
people?
