Gen. G. G. Andrews, chief fire warden
OF the State, was in Princeton yester-
day looking up the origin Of recent
hres in the country hereabouts he
drove through the country and as a
result Of his Investigations he swore
out a warrant against Otto Lindberg,
section foreman, whom he charges
with having started fire on October
10Th on the right of way OF the Great
Northern road I'M the north western
part of PRINCETON township, and that
ne did not use, due, diligence in pre-
venting this fire from spreading to
adjoining property and over into Bogus
Brook. tLindberg was brought before
Justice Dickey yesterday afternoon.
he pied not guilty and demanded jury
trial. The case was set for hearing
Saturday at nine O'Clock. Gen. An
dtews went to Milaca to-day, and will
return for the trial Saturday. T.
Last Saturday afternoon VIM. Par
ker, prosperous and well-to-do farmer
living near Tiffany, N. D., was oper-
ated on at the Northwestern hospital
by DR.. Cooney for very acute case of
appendicitis. Mr.. Parker was on his
way to the twin cities on business and
became so i'll that he was obliged to
leave the train at Elk River and seek
medical assistance. He called on DR..
Whittemore who discovered that the
man was suffering from appendicitis
and he advised him to come here for
an operation, which was performed in
the presence of Drs. Whittemore, Tar
box and Galley. The case had bad
SYMPTOMS from the start and after the
operation the patient did not seem to
rally as the doctors wished, but yester-
day there was change for the better
and the chances are that the man will
come out all right.

What are you going to get me for
Christmas?" asked the girl at the door
of her home. as Jack turned to go,
"Oh something nice" he said vaguely
with that masculine Indebtedness so
trying to women at times,
But, I really want to know" the girl
pouted. I think you are real mean
not to tell me-" The mans face
flushed as he said in low tone, his
voice a trihe unsteady What would
you say to jewelry. A ring for in
stance?" The girl opened wide her
big, blue eyes, and, oh so innocently,
said: will it be a ring?" Darling"
was the only answer, and she was
pressed close in a mans strong tender
clasp, her upturned face pressed to
his Did she mind it? Oh no for she
was used to it.
Jack left Maud a few minutes later,
for the hour was midnight, and she
would not let him into the cosy parlor
where so many evenings he had gazed
at her in silent admiration while she
thought him stupid. He went down
the street, a glad light in his brave
brown eyes a song of happiness ring
ing in his ears and all the world SEEM
ed to rejoice with him.
This is not all of the story. The Sc
Quel is better. The next night was
Christmas eve. and the same girl was
being escorted home, but it was an
other man. They hesitateq a moment
at the front gate, and she said softly:
u wish I could ask you in, but it is
late and I mustn't"
Dick looked at her with eyes of
calf-hke love, and hung over her hand
like a hungry dog over bone. What
are you going to get me for Christ
?" she murmured giving his hand
a tiny squeeze. May I give you a
ring, a pledge-of-of, you know what
I mean?" DO you mean by that you
would like to marry me" she asked
with a swift glance? ooh dearest" he
said brokenly as the words burned in
his mouth. Her face rested against his
for brief moment of rapture, and then
she hurried into the house, leaving the
man raised into a heaven of delight
only eqUalled by the dreams Of Opt
um's inspiration.
Jack and Dick by chance met on
Christmas morning at the same jewel
ers. Most of the stores were closed,
but ICkinstein wanted to squeeze the

could, so he remained open when other
