A Desperate Deed.

A young woman walking along the
street in front of the Guaranty Loan
building in Minneapolis astonished the
pedestrians by running up to Judge
Gilfillan and asking for protection
from a young man who was close be-
hind her. The young man came up,
and placed revolver at the girls head.
Judge Gilfillan knocked the weapon
up just as it exploded, the ball hitting
the building and the powder burning
the woman's neck. He started up the
street and meeting policeman, fired
at him. The officer dropped and the
ball went wild. The young man went
to the middle of the street and shot
himself the head, causing death.
The youth who committed this des-
perate deed was Bernhard Golling.
For eight years he had been faithful
employee in the Model clothing store.
He was 10 years year of age. About
year ago he met girl named Julia
.Vettar, at resort on First street. He
became infatuated with her, and last
September they were secretly married.

When I speak of ''hygienic cooking" 1
ko not mean that the menu is confined to
fodder" as some people call health foods.
The fact is, the bill of fare is as extensive
as that of the finest hotels in the country,
and the dishes are prepared in accordance
with recognized rules of health. so that the
guest with most any kind of a stomach can
always get a good meal. The office of the
hotel is in charge of C. c. Wilson. a jolly
soul whose special mission seems to be to
keep everybody about the place in good
humor.
The chief event of the day for most peo-
pie here. aside from meals. is the bath.
There are several large bath houses, sup
piled with water from mountain springs,
and each bath house has a vehicle that
goes to each hotel several times per day to
convey people to the bath house. One can
get almost any kind of bath. as we'll as

This place is the attraction for many ex-

the gentlemen being accompanied by
ladies-a fine looking party.
