Young Matt Mattson
Attempts to Shoot
a Playmate.
Stole Money to Buy the Gun
steals His Mothers Hard Earned
Money, which Is tiained by
Doing washing.

About the toughest case that has come
under the observation Of the truant Of
ficers for some time was that OF young
Matt Mattson OF Swedetown, which was
tried before Judge Fisher and County
Agent Miller yesterday afternoon. Young
Mattson was arrested on the specific
charge OF carrying and carelessy using
firearms, but the county agent took the
occasion to investigate the boys char
acter and doings and the result was that
he will be sent to the State Industrial
school.
There were a number of witnesses at
the examination yesterday, among them
all the playmates OF the boy. 1t seems
from their evidence that].the boys were
playing, when Mattson tried TO push two
OF the boys down the hill at Swedetown
and one OF them called him some name.
Mattson was then about to get even with
him by punching his head when a man
passing by made him let the other boy
go. The other youngster as soon as be
got free ran to the top OF the hill and
Mattson Immediately pulled a six
shooter out OF his pocket and blazed
away at him, the bali passing a foot or
so over his head. The boys differed in
some points OF the testimony, young |
Mattson insisting that the bullet passed
at least three feet oyer the other boys
head and the other boys claiming that it
was not more than foot.
Mattson also claimed that the other
youngster was throwing stones at him,
which provoked the attack and that he
did not intend to hurt him but rather to
brighten him.
When questioned on the stand Matt
son stated that he stole the money from
his mother to buy the gun and that he
frequently stole money. 1t seems that
Mrs. Mattson who cannot speak a word
OF English, is poor and her husband tas
not supported her for the past two q
years and that she lives by what work g
she can get to do outside She says that g
she hid the gun from the boy and tried {
to keep him from having it. She &C.
knowledged that she could do nothing
with the boy and that he would ste.l
from her as well as anyone else.
The boy did not seem to be bit
OF what he had done and went q
on to tell where he had stolen a sled the
Sunday before and pair OF skis, which
be afterward painted white so that the
owner would not recognize them. as if it d
were something to be proud OF. q
He also stated that hefrequently played :,
truant and was in the habit of taking
almost everything that he could lay his
hands on. The county agent thought
hat the only place for boy of his cal =,
bre was the Industrial school. His
mother cried bitterly m court when told -
II the sentence and could not be con- :,
'inced that it was the best thing for the
10Y. The boy and his sister were all she
ad IN the world and il would be hard TO F.
art from him. fr

Jack King Promptly
Covers RoWett'S
Forfeit.
Both Men i'm Good Condition,

About the Same Weight and
square Contest Is Assured.

Jack King deposited the $50 forfeit
with John Ford last evening as his guar
antee of good faith. Now that the de-
post money of both the wrestlers ia in
the hands OF Mr.. Ford, the men will pro-
baby soon arrange the other terms oil the
match. As far as the amount oil money
put up by the Erestlers themselves goes
1t will not amount to a great deal, as
Rowett in bis letter wanted to make IL
$50 side and it is probable that the
amount nar1ed by Rowett is satisfactory
to King, Neither OF the men have much
money to bet on themselves.
The match has already attracted some
attention in the iron country where both
the wrestlers nre well known and have
many friends. As it will be one OF the
closest Cornish wrestling contests that
has ever taken place here, or on the Pen
iasula for that matter, there promises to
be a large attendance OF sporting people
from different parts of the country who
may look forward to hot time"
King is in training and will go into the
ing at about 1876 to 100 pounds while
Rowett will turn the scales at about $50 |
pounds, so there will not be 80 very much

"The Disaster"

This Is story of the Franco-Ger-
man war written by Paul and Victor
Marguerite, sons of a French general
who was killed at Sedan. The book
deals with the war Of 1901 from the
officers point Of view, the hero. Pierre
du Breuil, being an officer Of the gen
eral staff and orderly of the minister Of
war. He is a psychological young fell
low, much given to thinking about his
feelings, and so we get a good deal of
the campaign from a subjective point
Of view. He does not, however, think
about his sensations to such good eff
feet as did the hero Of Mr.. Cranes

the book is somewhat dreamy and sed-
alive in spite of the subject matter.

AS little girl, Mary Esther Lea played

More than that, she it is who is the power

Her title is Princess Won Noer and she Is a
powerful influence in the great palace at Ber-
lin.
Her history is most interesting and I'M
usual. Her father left Connecticut in 1910
and began small grocery business in New
York city. Though he was financially success
full, when he died. in 1853 he left but a
very small fortune to his family. Mrs. Lea,
unable to afford the expensive living in New
York bundled up her little family and went
to Stuttgart. Here the eldest daughter mar
rfed Baron Won Waechter. He soon became
ambassador from Wurtemberg to Paris and
in due course of time Mrs. Lea and her other
daughters found themselves in the social set
of the great French capital. Other important
marriages came about. Mary Esther, the
Youngest girl, found a fast and affectionate
friend in Princess Louise of Schleswig- Hol-
stein. Through her she formed the acuuaint-

widower, who Immediately fell desperately In

HARVEST THOUGHTS.

When Justly August brings the purplng
grape,
And all the tendrilled branches of the vine
Are rich with promise of the coming wine
When Summer falnts and Autumn's fingers
shape
The ripening grain in rustling fields that
drape
The laughing plain or heaven aspiring hill
When glowing apples fragI ant incense spill.
And luscious juices from pale pears escape
Then swells the heart with memories of old
days,
And dreams of those to come like mists
arise
Retween the soul and cold or cruel skies
While store OF melowed thought the mind

And thus ere winds grow bleak and senses
Sere.
Are yielded up twin harvests Of the year.
