In Which She Took Part without
Understanding the Legal Purport
of It-Indietments Today.

1t leaked out yesterday that the
grand jury is not yet through with
William F. Bickel, provided the county
attorney can secure the attendance be-
fore that body of Miss Margaret Tan
ner, a sister-in-law of William F.
Bickel. 1t is said that Miss Tanner,
who is expected to arrive in st. Paul
today can acquaint the grand jury
with the details of a financial transac-
ton between Mr.. Bickel and the Min
nesota Savings bank that will serve
as the basis of another Indictment. The
story, as related to a reporter for the
Clio b G, is as follows: About eleven
! months or a year ago, shortly before
the Minnesota Savings bank closed it's
doors, Miss Tanner. it is said, executed
a promissory note for s., 900, which note
Mr. Bickel discounted at his bank, the
note being entirely unsecured. In con-
sideration Of making the note Bickel
agreed to send his SiSter-in-law the
sum OF $50 month if she would in
the future, reside in Spokane or Ia
coma. Pursuant to this agreement,
Miss Tanner went westward to the
state Of Washington, where she has
since lived. 1t appears now that Bickel
failed to send Miss Tanner $50 a month
as agreed, but instead forwarded but
enc remittance to her, and that for SIS
only.
In consequence of this breach of
faith on Nh. BickeTs part, Miss Tan
ner has been heard from, and County
Attorney Anderson is elated. Mr.. An
derson sought most industriously to
learn of Miss Tanners Wherea bouts
last spring, but without success. Now,
it is understood, he has heard from her
directly and has wired ner to come on
to st. Paul. The report is that she is
expected to arrive some time today.
Ir that event some developments may
be looked for. 1t is further understood
that Miss Tanner, being entirely un-
familiar with banking methods and the
various functions of negotiable paper,
was absolutely unaware of the char
acter of her brother-in-laws transac-
tions.
The grand jury put in five hours of
| solid work yesterday, and, as a result
of it's laborS, will present a dozen or
! more indictments at D. m. today, the
| hour to which it adjourned. The time
| was practically devoted to the consid-
| GRAFTON of the remaining Jail cases,
| Which are now all disposed OF With the
exception of one or two minor cases.
The latter will be taken up in a few
days, as soon as the witnesses can
attend.
| The only interesting Jail case is that
| of the prisoner named Bell, who is
| locked UP on a charge of perjury. 1t
is alleged that Bell swore falsely on
the trial of a suit for $4,000 against
| the st. Paul & Duluth railway COM
pany for accidentally causing the
death in the railroad yards at Mime
apoGs of one Roman Kranc, who was
| run down by a locomotive. The trial
resulted in verdict for the plaintiff
the administrator of Kranc. Another
witness in the case is charged with
the same offense, but he is still at
large.
1t is understood that the prosecution
claims it can prove that Bell was in
Eau Claire, Wis, when the accident
! which he testified that he Witnessed
| happened.

not accept the Selby avenue ordinance
The letter was referred by the board

en- up at the meeting of the committee
tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock One
of the aldermen, in speaking of the
matter yesterday, said the public ap-
peared to be laboring under a mis-
taken idea as to the future action of
the council. 1t was the intention, the
alderman said, to prepare an ordinance
and push it through at least one
branch of the council, directing the
street railway company to proceed
with the paving of Fourth and Third
streets with asphalt. Another ordi-
nance would also be passed directing
the company to carry out the contract
for the boulevarding of University
avenue. On the top of these, the cor
poration attorney would also be direct
ed to take steps to test the question
of the validity of the perpetual fran
chise, which the company claimed to
have received from the council. in the

fashion. A visitor whom he introduced
to Papillon relates that he heard the
dog give vent to various patriotic cries,
such as "Vive l'armee! Vive la France"
and "Vive lie president de la repub-

departure the words "Adieu, monsieur"
were politely uttered. 1t had occurred

The raising of goldfish is special in,
dustry, and one of the largest goldfish
farms is at Spring Lake Ind. When
young the goldfish is said to resemble
in color and general appearance an or
binary minnow After awhile they turn
dark becoming occasionally almost
black. Then a reddish hue begins to
appear, the true golden color being de-
veloped at the average of one year or
less. A few individuals, however, never
change their original silver color. and
sometimes the red and gold hues
make their appearance only in patches
Not infrequently goldfish develop two
or more tails.-Youth's Companion.

For Corn-Cut from the cob Young.
tender corn, pack in glass cans with the
small end of your potato masher or a
stick especially made for the purpose
all that you can possibly crowd in, some
of the milk will escape but that does
not matter, press it tight, so that all the
air will be pressed out. When you have
enough cans packed full to fill the bot
tom of your boiler, put the rubberS ON
and screw tops lightly, place boards in
the bottom of your boiler set the cans
on these, fill the boiler with cold water
to the tops of the cans, place over fire
and let it come to boil then keep the
water boiling for four hours, adding
boiling water from kettle as that i'll
the boiler evapOrates; then take from
the fire and screw the tops down tight
ly; let cans remain in water till cool
enough to handle, take out, wipe dry
and slip a paper sack over each can,
labelling it plainly.
Beans-Take young beans while the
pods are very tender, chop or break
them up in short pieces, fill your cans,
shaking them down often. When they
will hold no more beans, fill to running
over with cold water, put on rubbers
and tops as for corn, and boil three
hours after they begin to boil. Let
them cool, then wipe and put away as
you did the corn. / have some that have
been canned five years and they are as
fresh as when first canned
Peas-Shell and wash tender young
peas, put in cans, shaking and getting
all in your can you possibly can; then
fill with cold water and treat as beans.
Tomatoes--These can be canned by
placing them first in boiling water to
remove the skins, then putting them in
the cans, allowing some of the juice to
escape; put on rubbers and tops and
boil two hours after they begin to boil,
then treat like corn.

THE MEXICAN PECCARY.


II never Turns out Tor An Nthin S,
Man Beast.
The most vicious and fearless of the
brute creation is the peccary, or wild
hog of Mexico" said c. w. Bartlett, of
Laredo, Tex. This animal seems ut
terly devoid of the emotion of fear. l
have never seen it turn a hairs breadth
out of its path for any living thing.
Man is its special bette noire. 1t dis
plays an intelligence in fighting the
human strangely at variance with its
apparently complete lack of any mental
attributes, save the very lowest order
of instinct. They are rarely found sing
iy, but go in droves of from a hundred
to thousands. Their ability to scent
men is particularly marked. l have
known a drove of them to scent a man a
mile off and strike as straight for him
as the arrow flies. There is no use to
try to brighten them with guns. The
cannonading of a full battery would
have no more effect on them than the
popping of a firecracker. The only
thing to do when they get after you is
TO run away from them as fast as a
horse can carry you. And then there is
no certainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift as a horse, and
their endurance is as great as their
yiciousness.
"A friend of mine encountered a drove
of them in a wild part of Mexico few
years ago, and his escape was miracu
lous. He very foolishly shot and wound
ed a number of them. Then he took
refuge in a tree. The peccaries kept
him in the tree all that day and through
the night. They circled around the
tree, grunting and squealing their de
light at the prospect of feast. He soon
exhausted his ammunition, and
brought down a peccary at each fire.
But this had no terror for the beasts.
Along toward morning the brutes be-
gan to eat the ones he had killed, and
when they thus satisfied the cravings
of their stomachs they formed in line
and trotted off. If they had not had
some of their own number to devour
they would have guarded that tree until
my friend, through sheer exhaustion,
dropped from his perch and allowed
them to make meal of him. The wild
cats and tigers that infest the Mexican
wilds flee from the peccaries with in
stinctive fear, and even rattlesnakes
keep out of their path. st. Louis Re-
pI1blic
