the preliminares were quietly arranged,

ing selected with aS mitch secrecy as Dan
Stuart exercised in picking out a fighting
place for FitZsimE;ons and Maher.
The champion selected by the Senate
pa ges was the son of 4 Senator, while the
Supreme Court boys picked out the son Of
lameuted statesman.
While ,he affair was in progress a Capi-

to the place, arrived just about the time
the court page was getting seriously hurt
He put stop to the mill.

Its Owners Queer Notion About the
Danger of Admitting Others.
From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Near the village Of Minnesota Lake, sit
uated on the north shore Of the lake, stands
an old-time windmill, which resembles In
all it's phases the Dutch mills Of Holland.
1t Is owned by Gottlieb Shastag, an old
German, and was built by him some forty
years ago, and used as a grist mill. For
the past fifteen or twenty years Shastag
has allowed no one to enter the building,
not even his wife or son.
/ His reason for this Is a strange one. 1t
appears that. as the story is told by an old
resident, some evil-disposed person put the
devil in the MILL" and for i've years it
caused him great deal of annoyance. trou-
efforts he fin ally succeeded in getting the
evil one out, and he knows this to be a
fact. for he distinctly saw him going out
IN the form of rabbit. AS long as he al
lows no person to enter it will be impOssi-
bic for his satanic majesty tc return and
renew his direful work. He Is perfectly
honest In his dealings, and cut in the

largest end and tapering to about six. and
are nrmly fastened to an axle on ton of
