A Dead Indian POny,

There is quite little excitement in
the vicinity of Cove and South Harbor
over the shooting of an Indian ponv
which was found dead one day last
week near the home of a white settler
few miles from Cove. The pony was
shot in three places with charges Of
buckshot. and the Indian who owned
1t has charged the farmer near whose
place the pony was found, with having O
shot the animal. He was in Cundy's
store at Onamia last Sunday and
showed Mr.. Cundy piece of paper on
which was. written the name of the
party on whom suspicion rests. 'Lo
thinks that he should have new ponv
or the value of the old one. AS proof
will be hard to establish several of
the citizens think it would be the
proper thing to raise a purse and pre-
sent it to the Indian who in his tepee
dreams is no doubt exclaiming. "a
horse, horse, my kingdom for a
horse" The citizens fear that if some
reparation is not made that the Indians
will be tempted to commit depredations
on the white mans property, and they
do not reason unwisely.

Indian Stole "Sawbuck,"

Last Saturday, while Jim Simpson
OF Cove, was at Eydon's store getting
a letter ready to send away, with a
remittance of $40 an "educated'' buck
stole the ten dollar bill while Mr..
Simpsons back was turned, and vam-
oosed the ranch-going to the happy
hunting ground or some other seaport
with the coveted bill. Mr.. Simpson
intended to get a money order, and
while he was writing the letter, the
mail came in and Postmaster Eydon
took up the mail to distribute. . The
bill was lying beside Mr.. Simpson on
the showcase at the time, and while
he turned around to have Miss Maud
Free address the envelope, the Indian
picked up the money, and like the
Arab, silently stole away. Mr.. Simp.
son says he dosen't care so much about
the loss of the bill as he does about the
stealing proclivity of the Mile Lacs
red man, who is starting out in life the
wrong way.

An Electric Line to the Mile Laos Country.
The Westinghouse Electric Co. has
secured control of the Little Falls
water power. The company announ-
ces its intention of commencing work
Immediately upon the construction of
an immense plant for the manufacture
OF machinery used by the Westing-
house Co. in its western trade, and
promises that its immediate invest.
ment will not be less than $500, 900,
while it is the intention ultimately to
invest fully as much more in the con-
summation Of plans already conceived.
The plans include the construction of
an electric railway in the city next
spring. After that other electric lines
are to be built, one west to Swan River
and Elmdale, and another TO the east.
to Pierz, and finally to the Mile Laos
country. The last named line will be
used for logging purposes.

Fires Near the Lake.

The forest fires on Saturday and Sun
day were giving settlers south of the
lake considerable uneasiness and worry
as we'll as doing much damage in some
places. On Friday they we're raging
to the south of Cove, and in the north
ern portion of Onamia. Geo. w. Simp-
son lost ten stacks of hay on Saturday,
and Moses Smith several stacks. On
Sunday they were burning close around
Ericksonville, and the citizens were a
little bit nervous. The rain Monday
night came just in time to save much
property.

Value of Glover Seed.

II have one fixed rule which never
depart from in the management of my
farm" said very successful farmer in
Minnesota to me recently, land that is
to SOW two quarts of clover seed with
every acre of small grain sown each
year." Said be, lit makes no differ.
ence whether I want to pasture the
field, cut it for hay, or plow the
clover crop under, want to see the
clover coming up through every stub
BILE field have on the farm" This
man was everlastingly right and laid
down'a rule which if followed would
soon put other farms than his IN the
very highest state Of fertility and pro-
ductiveness. s.-Albert Lea Times.

A SMILE OR TWO,

A clergyman anxious to introduce
some new hymn books, directed the
clerk to give out a notice in church in
regard to them Immediately after the
sermon. The clerk, however, had a
notice of his own to give in regard tc
the baptism of infants. Accordingly
at the close of the sermon he an.
nounced: ''All those having children
they wish baptised, please send in their
names at once.' The clergyman, who
was deaf, supposing that the clerk was
giving out the hymn book notice, i'm
mediately arose and said: ''And want
to say for the benefit of those who
haven't any, that they1may be obtained
from me any day between three and
four O'Clock, the ordinary little ones at
fifteen cents each, and special ones
with red backs at twenty-five cents
each. ."-Ex.

Maud Mueller jumped on the time

dusty pike. An old drop frame with a
way-down gear, and rattle the dead
could hear. The Judge came pounding
along behind, out airing his judicia:

trim, the graceful motion of the hid
den limb, and said to himself in grave
delight, ''What's the matter with
Maud? She's all rightr' He drew uE

rode such an old ice-cart as that. AnG
she said sales-ladies could i'll support
such wheel as the district court. He
told her she could on chainless ride
with diamond frame, if she'd be his
bride. Or if she would burst her sole
life, they would tandem together as
man and wife. Maud bit at the bait
like hungry trout, and the old judge
smiled as he yanked her out. They
ride on a tandem now of course, but
Maud has to work like a tread-mill

sit and shirk, and let's his darling dc
all the work. He weighs 241, but the
