The Times has received the. follow

when duty called, the postmaster was

When Lars Erickson, the postmaster
at Jacksonville. went to his Office yes

woman, Mrs. J. E. Demeers, was there
and called Mr.. Erickson all kind of dis
graceful names, and when E. told her
that he or nobody else car for her talk

throat with one hand, holding a stone

that she was there to make him trou-

he would not put his hand on such
woman, and turned outside, but she
come after jumping on to him agin,
and when the time was nearly up for
the postal stage to come, E. told here
to leave him along and go away. No,
she would not.
Then E. said: eff you don't moved

went to his house and took his reffle

METAL TRADING CHECKS.
Used in Parts of Minnesota as a Substitute
for Money.

USED In Parts of Minnesota as a Substitute
for Money.
The use of metal trading checks has
become so general in some of the coun-
try districts in Minnesota as to almost
supplant the use of government coin,
and suit has been instituted against
the stamping concern making the
checks to determine whether the pro-
duction of them is in violation of the
federal coinage laws. These checks
are about the size of silver quarter.
They are stamped with the name of
the firm for whom they are made, and
bear statement that they will be re-
ceived for certain amount in trade,
the amounts ranging from cents to
81. Country merchants use them in
exchange for produce. They are good
for trade only at the store issuing
them. But from the fact that the
stores refuse to pay for produce in any
other currency, they soon come to be
accepted by all other stores, as the
farmers selling produce have no other
coin to spend. In this way their cir
culation becomes general in certain
localities. The storekeepers maintain
that as they have an unquestionable
right to give receipts good in trade, it
is immaterial whether they are writ
ten on paper or stamped on metal.
The practice is profitable one for
the merchants, and it enables them to
do business on borrowed capital on
which they do not pay interest. Dele

Was Near to Death.

Henry Guild, who is employed in the
lath department of the Foley-Bean
Lumber company's sawmill, had a mar
row escape from horrible death Tues
cay forenoon: He was sent to lower
floor after a ball of Irvine and instead
OF coming up the stairway he attempted
to ride up on the trimming conveyor.
He placed the ball of Irvine on the con-
veyor and then laid down on the chain
himself. The Irvine caught in the hole
where the conveyor passes through the
floor: leaving the entrance blocked so
that he could not get by. He failed to
notice it until he was jammed in the
aperture and the chain began to crowd
him together with deadly power. His
cries attracted the crew and they man
aged to get him out before any bones
were broken, but it was a close call

The Drive.

Burch's drive of 100000 feet
reached Cambridge Sunday afternoon.
It is destined for Anoka but was hung
up here for about week with rear
about four miles up the river. The
crew went down river on Monday,
some taking a four horse team to
Princeton while others went down by
rail on the cutoff. Five men remained
to watch the logs and keep things NOV
ing. Fred Douglas drove to Princeton
Sunday night on his way to the dams
on the upper river to see if there was
sufficient water to take the logs on
down to St. Francis. From Bradbury
Brook to Cambridge he stated that it
took the water about 60 hours to cover
the distance. Once in St. Francis
there will be no trouble to bring the
logs into Anoka as the ST.. Francis dam
will give them all the water needed.
The logs are all for Reed & Sherwood.

One of the best games of bail seen

Sunday between the home team and
a team representing St. Cloud. The
first inning for Princeton resulted in
no runs, but four men coming to bat.
The second, however, gave them four
runs OF which two were earned. Ciag-

noon in Princeton and the wave of
prosperity appears to have struck that
town with full force. Several new and
handsome, substantial brick blocks
have been erected this summer and
the insertion of the splendid electric

gives it the appearance of ENJOYING a.
genuine boom. With such energy and
push as the citizens of Princeton are
exhibiting it is doubtful if the Coon
