KEENAN, TO SALTWATER.

VIM. Keenan,, indicted for dispos-
ing of property left in his charge,
changed his plea of ssnot guilty to
guilty" on Wednesday of last week,
and on Saturday lie was sentenced
to Saltwater on the reformatory
plan.
Judge Webber wanted to SEN
tence Keenan, the day following his
plea. but the latter asked the Judge
to wait until his mother arrived.
Mrs. keenan, did not arrive, how
ever, and sentence occurred on Sat
urday, just before the noon recess.
When the Judge asked Keenan,
whether he had anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon
him at that time, Keenan, said that
he understood that the Judge was
merely to pass fine upon him.
The Judge replied that Keenan, had
made wrong statements to him, and
that he had made no promises, and
that he believed a prison sentence
would be best for him. A reforma-
tory sentence in the Saltwater peni-
Tertiary was then passed.

Almost Csrtaln that the North.
western will Extend.

THE GAZETTE has it on excellent
authority that the Northwestern
railroad company will extend it's
line from Vesta northwest next
spring. In fact, it is stated on the
same authority that one or two
agents of the company are now in
the field northwest of Vesta with
the view of picking out the most
feasible route. It seems to be
certain that the agent or agents have
decided to cross the St. Louis at or
near Hanley Falls, where it will
form a juncture with the Great
Northern, and will then proceed
northwest through Yellow Medicine
and Lac qui Parle counties, with
the possibility of striking the old
town OF Lac qui Parle. Where the
company proposes to establish it's
terminal is mere guess. THE EGAzErrE
authority is of the opinion that the
Northwestern will harrass the St.
Louis as long as it can, and will
then proceed north towards Fargo
or northwest towards Bismark-

HAND TAKEN OFF.

Jesse Miller, who has been visit
ing with his brother, Clark Miller,
five miles southwest of Redwood
Falls, for some time past, and who
contemplated visiting in this Sec
tion all winter, lost his right hand
in an accident about four o'clock
last Friday afternoon.
Jesse was assisting his brother
Clark in running a corn shredder.
One of the ears of corn became
clogged, and Jessie attempted to
remove it, or shove it on, and in do
ing so, bad the hand so badly
mangled that amputation became
necessary. He was brought to DR..
Pease s office IN this city immedi-
ately after the accident, and DR..
Pease removed the hand at the
wrist. Jesse stood the amputation
with remarkable nerve and is now
doing nicely.
A little more than year ago
Jesse lost one of his eyes in the
mines of British Columbia, where
he has been making his home up to
the time of his arrival here some
weeks ago. Several years prior to
that he had his skull slightly in
jured, and he has also suffered in
juries to one of his lower limbs.

The road was completed to Vesta
last Thursday. and the work of sur

running regularly from Burt. Iowa,
to Sanborn, but it is not known
when they will run regularly to
Vesta. Only one train per day
will be run until some time when
business warrants an increase, after
the regular schedule is made public.
A Northwestern official stated Fri
day that he believed the company
would have regular trains running
by Dec. lst.

from our sister town of Morton is
now almost verified. It is to the
effect that Morton will soon become
divisionless town-that the St.
Louis finds itself obliged to estab-
lish a division at Winthrop, from
which to operate it's trains running
through New Ulm to Iowa, and that
Morton must be abandoned. The
division shops will be put in at
Madison, a little oyer 100 miles
from Winthrop, and this suggests
that the st Louis is contemplating
extending it's line from Watertown
next year, because run from Madi-
son to Watertown would be of little
Importance to railroad men, unless
one crew would run both ways each
day.
The Morton Enterprise of last
week states that there is some pros

the fact that the st. Louis has
agreed to furnish the rolling stock

The State rested and the defense
opened by promising to show that
an alibi would be proven, and the
first witness called was Ed. S. Bea-
man, at whose house the crime is
alleged to have been committed. He
testified that supper was not served
until about 7:15 o'clock that night,
and that Rollins, with his brother,
and another boy, boarding there,
had all left the house before Mrs.
Beaman, and he went over to the
depot. Arriving at the latter place
he spent Is minutes in sealing cars,
and then returning to the depot he
saw Lester standing on the plat
form, and a few minutes later saw
him 60 up town. Mr.. Beaman made
star witness for the defense. and
when he verified his time by saying
that the prize fight bulletins dated
from Coney Island an hour later
than it was at Sanborn, caused him
to look at his watch and fix the ex-
act time, the evidence weighed
heavy on the minds of the jury,
and had Rollins, who was the next
witness called, made half the i'm
preston on the stand that Beaman
made the jury would have either
disagreed or returned verdict of
acquittal. But Rollins went all to
pieces, and during the noon recess
Saturday Mr.. Somerville attempted
to get Rollins to withdraw his plea
of mot gnilty' and change the same
to guilty. it having been under
stood with Mr.. Clague that if this
was done Mr.. Clague would recon-
mend sentence of not more than
five years. But Rollins was obdu-
rate. and after nearly an hour S con-
ference returned to the witness
stand, where Mr.. Clague, in two
questions, knocked the bottom out
of the alibi, which Mr.. Clague, in
rebuttal, knocked still further, by
Rollins admissions made to Sheriff
Pease, Deputy Engerman, W. A.
GOWN and others, Immediately after
his arrest and Imprisonment in the
county Jail. wherein Rollins stated
that he had simply been playing
with the girl. =
1t was $50 clock Saturday when
both sides announced that their
evidence was all in. Judge Web
ber thought it best not to give the
case to the jury until Monday and
after cautioning them against speak
ing with anyone regarding the case,
or listening to conversations regard
ing it. adjourned court until nine
o'clock Monday morning, when the
summing up occurred.
On Monday morning Mr.. Clague
made the closing arguments for the
State. and his conclusions we're ex-
cellent, while George T. Olsen
twisted the evidence so as to favor
the defense in the best possible
manner. The two attorneys ab-
sorbed the time from nine O clock up
to 11:15, Mr.. Olsen having slightly
the best of the time. Judge Webber
then made a remarkably fine charge.
and placed the case in the hands of
the jurors just before dinner, and

The "Favorite Prescription " has cured

specialist in the diseases of women.
Other medicines are sometimes sold on
the plea that they are "just as good as the

Don't be imposed upon. Counterfeits are
never as good as the genuine.

THE SMART YOUNG MAN.
He Played n Trick on His Girl, but
She Got Even.

One day a smart young man got a long
piece of ribbon paper out of a stock ticker
and wrote letter on it to his girl AS he
wrote he rolled the paper up SO that the
outside of the roll contained the closing
remarks of the letter, which were:
"Of course you will not repeat what I
have told you in this letter about Helen.
1t was given to me in strictest confidence
and wouldn't think Of telling any one
except you TO find out what this was
the girl was compelled to unwind the let
ter and wind it up again, starting at the
end. But she could find nothing in it
about Helen, although she read it twice
very carefully and looked along the back
from one end to the other. And it was a
most bothersome letter to read
She brooded over that letter several days
planning her revenge At length she came
TO decision. She got large square piece
of cardboard and started her letter in the
very center of it, writing in an ever widen
ing circle. Her very first sentence was:
Dear Jack: If you persevere in reading
this letter you will find in it something
you greatly wish to know. If you do not
read it, you will never know it. D." There
was something he did wish to know and
only she could tell him, SO he buckled
down to it. At first he turned the paper
around slowly as he read and in a few
minutes almost toppled over with dizzi-
ness He rested and tried it again, but
was compelled to stop, for his eyes burned
and his head ached. After another rest
he placed it on the floor and STOPPING
over, walked slowly around it, reading as
he went The first evening he was COM
PEELED TO stop before he had half finished
1t and before he had come to the desired
information.
The following night he tackled it again,
and in the course of an hours work, as
hard as any he had ever attempted, he
came upon this sentence almost near the
end: "1'his is what 1 wanted to tell you.
Don't ever again try to be funny with me
I can get even with you every time,
The young man didn't finish the letter,
but he vowed to himself that he never
would try to be funny at her expense in
the future.-Kansas City Star.

A story is told of,an attempt to intro

the rats which ate the cane plantations.
After having performed this duty it null

all the snakes and lizards as well. 1t next
attacked the birds learning to climb trees
in the prooess) until the poultry and wild
birds disappeared. Then arose the ticks, 4"
or 'ohigoes, which the BIRDS used to keep
down, and the island groaned under a
fresh plague. The ticks, however, finally
attacked the mongoose, which began to
decline; the birds began to reappear and
attacked the ticks; snakes and lizards
were seen once more, and in the end the
cane plantations were devastated as much
as ever by rats.-San Francisco Argonaut.
