A Question of Identity.


The proprietor of small summer re-
sort hotel in Virginia, as Star man
was told, has more or less trouble with
his colored neighbors, who have their
weaknesses, as who of US have not? One
day Uncle Sam came up with six nice
chickens to sell.
"How much are theyp' inquired the
landlord.
Zone dollar fer de lot, boss.
The landlord looked them over care
fully, not to say suspiciously.
"Ain't these the same chickens I
bought last week." he inquired.
sNot dat knows on, boss,' replied
the old man, just a little disturbed.
''Has you been losin any poultry here
lately?"
II have, and lost these. Did you
steal them?''
"Fo' de Lawd, no sab, boss; deed I
didn't
The landlord was not in an argument
ative mood.
''Well, all I've got to say is they are
mine, and you can give them up or go
to Jail, whichever you choose -
"But I didn't steal dem pullets,
boss," insisted the old man.
"You heard what I said, "was ali the
landlord had to say.
Uncle Sam laid the chickens down on
the ground and began scratching his
head.
II didn't steal dem chickens, an
doan wanter go to JAIL" he said, with
great deliberation.
The landlord waited.
II spec, boss," he proceeded slowly,
''you better done take um Hain't nc

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Occurs on the North Redwood Hill
Sunday Morning.

Two deplorable accidents, within "a
hours of each other, occurred on the
North Redwood hill on Sunday and
Monday mornings. One was fatal to
one and the other was dangerous to
two. The first was ten months old
baby. The second was mother and
her child.
On Sunday morning Mrs. John
Shafer of Renville county, with her
ten months old baby and maid, we're
coming to town with the view of at
tending church. They were driving
single horse attached to- a top buggy.
The horse was young animal and
not accustomed to bicycle. Jasper
Stegner, on bicycle, was out for
pleasure trip. He had got part of the
way down the North Redwood hill
and did not notice the approach of the
horse and buggy. When within few
rods of the bottom of the hill, or just
in front of Hotel Weiss the animal
took fright at the bicycle, upset the
buggy, and threw the occupants from
the carriage, the child being thrown
to the ground with such violent force
as to crush it's skull, from the effects
of which it died ten hours later. The
mother and maid we're slightly bruised.
The entire party we're taken into the
hotel and a physician summoned.
They remained there until the child
died.
On Monday morning Mrs. Ferdi-
nand Hueth of Renville county, with
an eight or ten months old child,
were the victims. Mrs. Hueth and
children three in number, were return
ing home from this county, where, on
the previous day, they came with Mr..
Hueth, who is following a threshing
machine east of this city. They we're
in platform wagon. The party had
got to the foot of the hill when the
breeching strap on one of the horses
became unfastened and the horses
started on run across the St. Louis
tracks. Just north of the tracks they
made sharp turn, upsetting the bug

A Believing. Snortlng, Paving

Isaac Leslie, residing on Chestnut,
between Lincoln and East streets,
was freed by believing bull on the
banks OF the Redwood river last We'd
nesday afternoon.
Mr.. Leslie was fishing on the banks
of the river just above the power
house Wednesday afternoon, and was
making fair catch of fish when he
heard noise resembling the below
ing of bull just behind him.
lie looked around and caught sight
of mammoth blooded bull paving
up the dirt, believing and snorting.
Mr.. Leslie at once thought of the law
of self-preservation and dropping his
fishing tackle ran for a large tree
near by.
The bull came after him and
Mr.. Leslie had but little more
than reached the first strong branches
of the tree, about three feet from the
ground, when the bulls head came
up against the tree "kerchug."
The force was so great that the bull
was thrown back few feet and he
was apparently dazed as he stood
still without even shaking his head
for several moments.
Upon coming to he continued his
paving and believing and kept Mr..
Leslie treed for half an hour or more.
Finally Mr.. Rain, the owner came
along, and with the proper club the
bull was driven away and Mr.. Leslie
was released from his prison tree.
Mr.. Leslie was farmer residing
within mile of Delhi up to few
months ago when he left the farm in
charge of his hustling boy William
The elder Leslie moved to Redwood

farmer ever since. He said that in
all his experience on the farm and
among stock he had never been

from the wagon. The mother was bad
ly bruised and it is thought injured
internally. The baby struck on the
back of its head, badly soaring the
flesh, and possibly causing contu-

unharmed.
DIR. Pease was summoned and did
not think the wounds of either mother
or child fatal.
