A ROMANTIC REUNION.

Michael Kohn disposed of his farm
implements and household goods and
will locate on his farm near Yankton,
S. d. He left his parental roof when
he was boy and remained away for
twelve years, leaving his parents in
ignorance of his whereabouts, says
the ST. Peter Journal. He settled in
Cleveland, rented a farm and about a
year ago was married. On Christmas he
went to South Dakota and dropped in
on his parents without warning.
They failed to recognize their long
lost boy, but the stranger was given
food and shelter. At o'clock in the
afternoon his fathers keen eye de-
tected his identity and happy re-
union took place. His father pre-
sented him with farm of 100 acres
under cultivation and stocked near
Yankton, and handsome gold watch.
So Mixes going back there to live
now on his own possessions.

WICKLOW IS WANTED.
Papers are Out for His Arrest for
Grand Larceny.

E. j. Hooking and w. J. Wicklow
have been doing business together
for some time, canvassing the cities
and villages for work in charging
pictures and trying to sell useful ar
ticles. Saturday Wicklow turned up
missing, as did also Hocking's grip,
which contained extra clothing and
everything that would be needed on
trip of this character. Hooking came
to the conclusion that partner and
grip had gone off together, and got
out warrant for Wicklow's arrest,
alleging grand larceny in the second
degree.
Chief Yates went to Owatonna yes
terday afternoon in search of Wick
low, but failed to find him. 1t is be-
lieved that he is now in Chatfield.

WiDELL GETS 1T.
He Will Furnish the Stone for the
Blue Earth Bridge.

Mr.. Mcclure, of ST. Paul, who Sc
cured the contract for building the
new bridge across the Blue Earth
river, has awarded the contract for
the stone for the piers to Gust Widell.
The contract calls for 1,400 yards of
bridge stone, which amounts to about
125 carloads. The stone is to be trans
ferred on cars to the brick yard in
LeHuillier and carted over from
there, and the delivery will COM
mence at once and probably be COM
pleted within six weeks.
Larger forces of men will be put at
work on the bridge at once, and eff
fective work will be done before the
spring breakup occurs.
The pile driver has arrived and was
placed in position yesterday. The
piles are Is to 30 feet long and are in
tended to make firm foundation for
the piers of'the bridge, penetrating
through the sand of the river bottom
into the clay. The work of driving
these will require some time

PETITION DENIED.
ASSIGNEE RICHARDS TWILL NOT
BE REnOVED.
At the Hearing Before Judge Caldwell
Wednesday it Develops that
Fifteen Creditors Have Withdrawn
From the PetitiOn-The Remainder
Fall Far Short in Number and
Amount of the Requirements.

Richards as assignee and the sub
stitution of J. E. Neff in his place. w.
n. Plymat and Hughes, Rice &
Hughes appeared for the petitioners,
while Benedict & Flittie appeared
for Assignee Richards.
The petition contained athe names
of forty-seven creditors, representing
total of 1900 of claims, which is
a majority of both creditors and
amount. Upon this the court was
asked to make the changes.
The assignee's attorneys presented
the written withdrawal of fifteen of
the creditors from the petition, re-
presenting S22,477.25. Twelve more
not on the petition, representing
1924, 629 26, made affidavit of being Gre
ditors, and thirteen representing
Sl,O7O.25, filed proofs of claims.
This made total showing of forty
creditors, representing S48, 1876, as
opposed to thirty-two still on the
petition, representing about $4,000.
The assignment held that as the
petition now has neither a majority
of the creditors or amount, it could
not be granted.

on both sides, and decided that he
could not grant the petition. 1t is
expected that he will make an order
tonight denying the petition and al
