A few mornings agOC. A. Sprandel
caught seven-pOund pike in the
river at this place. That was one
Of the largest that has been caught
here for some time. and he had evil
evidently been in many successful
battles with fishermen. In the
stomach OF the fish were found three
fish hooks. On one Of the hooks.
there still remained part OF the frog:
that the loser of the hook had used
for bait. Az Mr.. Sprandel had. while
trying to land a large fish a few
hours before, lost Il hook that was,
baitei with a frog. he figures that
the fish was professional hook
thief. When u fisherman tries to lift
fish Of that size out with the ordi--
nary pole, the fish is very apt to
win the hook.

Has CONSUMPTION,

A letter was received in this city
several weeks ago stating that Miss
Mabel Bentley. who left this place
for Berlin, Wis.,. III the hopes Of
benefiting her health. was much i'm
proved and would undoubtedly re-
cover. The letter stated further
that she was suffering from lead
poisoning. This news was evidently
without foundation for a letter
was received Friday stating that
she is much worse than when she left
here. The doctors now treating her
say that the has consumption, as
did also the physicians who were
treating her here. She is very low
and there is but little chance for her
recovery. This is sad intelligence to
a large number OF Little Falls
people,.

MAY BE IN LUCK.
Mrs. John Siers, Whose HuS-
band Deserted Her, Thinks
he has Died, leaving Con-
siderable Property.

Judge OF Probate Richardson Satur-
day received Il letter from the Judge
Of probate Of Nez Perez county,
Idaho, In answer to one of inquiry
from Mr.. Richardson, to ascertain
the identity Of one John Siers, who
was murdered at Lewiston. Idaho,
two years ago.
Mrs. John Siers, who lives in this
city, thinks that the murdered man
was her husband who left this city
about five years ago. Siers. 1t will
be remembered left this city to go to-
Canada to claim some property left
him by his grandmother. He never
returned to this place, and in one of
the daily papers two wears ago Mrs.
Siers saw notice OF the murder OF
man named John Siers by Il woman
ut lewiston.
She Immediately began CORE
spending osee II he was her husband,
but was unable to find out anything
in regard to him. and those with
whom she corresponded did not even
return the photograph sent by her
to identify him.
Being in poor circumstances Mrs.
Siers desired to sell her house and
lot here and return to her relatives
In Canada, but found that she could
not do so without obtaining her
husbands signature or having p"0os
OF his death. Notlbeing able by her
own efforts she enlisted the assist
ance Of Judge Richardson. and ac-
cording to the letter, she will soon
know whether the murdered man
was her husband or not, and If he
was, 1t will be a stroke of good for
tune for her, as he lett considerable
property 10y his death, and he has
failed to provide for her for many
years.
The lie, ter states that the writer
is acquainted with all the circum-
stances surrounding the death of
Siers, and would he able to tell by H.
photographs, and by IL history of his
marriage and past life, whether he
was the husband Of Mrs. Sicrs Of
this city or not, but refuses to give
any information in regard to him
until she sends proofs of the mar
rage, etc, as there is considerable
property involved.
Mrs. Siers is having oil these mat
ters attended to, ana will forward
them Immediately, including pho
tOgrAph, and If it was her husband
that was killed, it is likely that she
will have no trouble in proving it
and securing the property.

elect whole lot OF Democrats to

that there is no better way Of helping
Shaw get tho Democratic nomina-
ton than for the Transcript to this
early oppose his election. But the
proposition to run Shaw for county
attorney is 80 amusing that the pub
lie generally is liable to ''josh" Il

place the legal interests of Morrison
county in the care OF Shaw Is really
a pretty good joke. There is certain
