Staples Tribune: John Denny, rep
resentative of the Little Falls Gran
lite company, was in Staples today.
Mr.. Denny paid the Tribune a pleas
ant call and showed us samples Of
the granite being taken out by the
company. The rock is of the very
hardest kind OF granite, capable Of
receiving high polish. The COM
PAW have two quarries, one Of
which is a light colored rock, the
other being quite dark. This granite
was selected by the Minnesota Capt.
toll committee for the capitol build
ing, but owing to it's being seven
miles from a railroad the cost OF
transporting it would be too great,
therefore it was deemed advisable
to go elsewher Mr.. Denny received
some orders for monuments In Brain
erd and one In Staples, but he has
the promise of several more in the
spring. Anyone wishing handsome
monument could not do better than
to select this rock.

Marshall Was Discharged.

The preliminary examination Of B.
S. Marshall, charged with grand
larceny, was held before Justice
Shaw Friday, and it resulted In his
being discharged.
John Lundquist was the complain
ant. and he alleged that Marshall
stole fifty-four bushels of wheat from
his granary.
Marshall admitted taking the
wheat, but stated that he did so IN
accordance with an agreement be-
tween him and Lundquist. Lund-
ouist went to Dakota last August
and before leaving hired Marshall to
harvest his grain, telling him that II
he did not send him the money for
his work from Oak ota, he could take
enough wheat and sell it to pay him.
The evidence was quite conclusive
that Marshall thought he was act
ing within his rights in taking the
wheat, and was not guilty OF any
crime.
