Contest Over a Child.

An interesting case for the guard
ianship Of Tom Hutchinson's young
son, Craig, will be heard in Probate
court next Wednesday morning. 1t
seems that Tom secretly took the child
from the mother some time ago and
kept him. The mother discovered
Toms whereab bouts at Monticello,
Minn., where her sister, Mrs. M. E.
James, was living. The boy was al
lowed to come over to his aunt's for
breakfast and Mrs. Hutchinson 1hur-
ried him, barefooted, into a carriage
and drove to another station and
came safely with him to Minneapolis
and Austin. Next Wednesday our Pro-
bate court will determine whether the
father OF the mother is to have the
guardianship of the boy and we are
certain this community has but one
opinion, 4 in j the matter. Sheriff
Johnson went up to Monticello last
week and notified Tom Of the hear
ing! He found him running truck
farm andwe have anidea that Tom has
at last found his calling. r. d - !.

Lee Willard Assaulted.

Mondays Pioneer Press contains a
long account of an assault in Mime
apolis upon Lee Willard of Seattle,
WASH, former Austin boy. Willard
came east last week to Minneapolis.
On the way he made the acquaintance
of young English traveller, with
whom he had some hot words upon
the subject of national supremacy and
superiority. Words led to blows in
which the young Englishman seems
to have had the worst of it and for the
rest of the trip they let each other
severely alone. Willard arrived in
Minneapolis last Friday evening.
About 9 o'clock he was walking
around in the vicinity of the Y. M. G.
A. building and was roughly assailed
from behind. He received blow on
his neck and head which stunned him,
and at the same time powder or some
other substance was thrown into his
eyes. The assault was made so
quickly that he could not recognize
his assailant, and the last he does
remember is that the powder was
thrown in his face. Then he lost con-
sciousness. A pedestrian named Har-
rlngton passing that way discovered
the inanimate form and revived him
sufficiently to have him takersto his
home. He remained there until Sat-
urday evening, physician being
called to examine his wounds. His
eyes were pronounced to be in bad
condition, and.it will be several weeks
before he fully RECEIVERS from the stuff
thrown into his face. Sunday night Mr..
Willard stopped at one of the down
town hotels and on Monday left
for Austin, Minn., where. he has
friends. Before leaving the city, how
ever, he alleged that he would swear
out warrant for the arrest of the
Englishman, whom he believes to be
in Minneapolis. ! .:.I.t:... !,
| Asa Lee Willard is resident of
Seattle and his parents are prominent
on the Pacific coast. He has attended
Berkeley college il California and is a
member of one Of the prominent col
lege fraternities. His eyes were caus-
ing him much pain yesterday. The
police will probably investigate the
case.
