Killed Blood Hound But Were Captured.
Late last Thursday afternoon three
of the inmates of the St. Cloud reform
atory escaped from the stockade and
fully half an hour had elapsed before it
was discovered that they had escaped.
Guards at once started in pursuit of
the men, and Kentucky blood hound
was also put on the trail of the escaped
prisoners. -
The hound was in advance of the
guards considerable distance, and
came onto the prisoners about three
miles from Foley. The men were
armed with clubs and the dog was soon
dispatched. The guards could plainly
hear the struggle, but by the time they
reached the scene the dog had been
beaten to death and the prisoners had
escaped further into the woods.
The searching party was increased at
Foley and Saturday afternoon the pris-
oners were located in a straw stack on
q farm near Rice, in Benton county.
The men were ordered to surrender,
and came out and gave themselves up,
and were taken back to the reforma-
tory. The prisoners were Elmer Mel.
son, sentenced from Minneapolis on
a charge of larceny; Harold McKnaw,
sentenced from Minneapolis on a
charge of larceny; Joseph Steven.
son, a federal prisoner, sentenced from
Duluth on charge of burglarizing a
postoffice in Lake county. : :

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Baxter Holds Arbitrary Assess
ments to be Illegal.
Judge Baxter has rendered far
reaching decision touching the levying
of assessments arbitrarily by boards of
equalization.
1t appears that when the Fergus
Falls board of equalization was in ses-
sion some time ago, its members con-
cluded that several well-to-do citizens
had forgotten to list some, of their
property, and accordingly sent out
notices telling them to appear and
show cause why their assessments
should not be raised. DR.. Mclean
failed to obey the summons and the
board raised him $500 on ''credits.' y
He appealed to the district court and
Judge Baxter rules that assessments
cannot be made in this manner and
has reduced the tax to the original
amount, holding that boards OF equal
ization have no authority to make
arbitrary assessments.-Little Falls

Rev. Charles Scahlon Of Minneapo-
lis was to be present at the afternoon
meeting but he was not able to arrive
until the evening train. There was a
temperance rally at Farnham's hall in
the evening, at which there was a very
fair attendance. Rev. Gratz presided
and introduced the speaker who dis
cussed the liquor traffic question for
two full hours. Mr.. Scanlon covered
all phases of the question from the
standpoint of q Prohibitionist which
OF course means the ultimate pulver-
ization and extinction of the traffic in
liquor, and the rum power. He is a
vigorous, dramatic and earnest speaker
and interspersed his address with some
very good stories. He relegated all
the great political questions that con-
cern the nation to the rear and consid-
cred the liquor question paramount to
all others. The only solution of the
question is to vote the, straight Pro
hibition ticket. -

Plant Early Potatoes.


Shall we raise early potatoes? This
is aquestiou that interests the farm
ers, and the potato buyers as we'll.
The farmer would just as soon raise
early potatoes for the market, provided
there is any money in it for him, and
OF course the buyers would just as soon
have the farmer get his potatoes on
the market as soon as possible, and
thus make the season from old to new
potatoes as short as possible. Last
year there was good money in early
potatoes for the farmer. Prices, be-
cause OF shortage in other parts of
the country, were abnormally high in
the Minnesota potato belt. It would
seem that there would be a very good
profit in the early potato and if farm
ers could plant SO as to haye some po-
tatoes for the market the last of July
or the first of August the Princeton
buyers are of the opinion that the
time put on this crop would be we'll
spent. The buyers ought to know
what they are talking about, for they
certainly would not care to handle the
early potato or any other potato if
there is no reasonably good market for
them.
) Farmers in this section would not
miss it in planting few early potatoes
and try the market on them.

Easter Sunday comes a bit early this
year, but not SO early as to interfere
with the Easter hat that never fails to
show, up on this particular occasion.
There will be the wealth of flowers in
home and church, and spring-like
and joyous air to the day, whatever
the weather may happen to be, for the
Easter spirit will not down. The
churches, as usual, will observe the
day with special program of music.
In addition to the regular Easter
services at the Catholic church there
will be special music appropriate for
the occasion. During the service the
musical portions of the mass will be
sung by a special quartet that has
been practicing for some time under
the instructions of Mrs. Cooney. The
quartette is composed of Mrs. Cooney,
soprano; Grace Byers, alto; Otto Rad
exc, bass; and M. L. Germany, tenor.
The music will be the best ever rem
dered at an Easter service in Prince
ton. The mass to be sung is as follows:

No Spring Sales of Land and No Wolf
...- x Bounties. -.
q A good many people desire to know
whether there will be any State land
sold this spring. Owing to the fact
that the State auditor last fall sold
lands up to the limit fixed for the fis-
cal year, no more land can be sold un-
til after Aug. 1st, and land sales will
not occur until next October. 81
Owing to the legislature not making
any appropriation to pay wolf bounties
the wolf bounty cupboard in the State

A Garnishee Case.

Last Friday afternoon there was an
interesting case in Justice Bouck's
court, the litigants being Nils. Ander-
son, plaintiff, and A.. ]. Barrett, de-
fendant. Anderson through his attor-
ney, NJ. L. Germany, instituted garn-
ishee proceedings to secure the sum of
$50 from the Foley Bean Lumber Co.
to whom defendant had sold some logs,
amounting to 1928. After the dis
closure of garnishee Attorney Kent
for defendant moved to dismiss the
garnishee, but the justice overruled
the motion, and defendants attorney
filed his answer in court and wanted
the case to proceed, but Mr.. Germany
asked for a postponement OF week.
Later Attorney Kent filed with Justice
Bouck an affidavit for change of
venue, and it is said that the Justice
informed the defendant that
unless otherwise ordered the case
would be certified to Justice Chad
bourne for hearing on Tuesday of this
week. 1t seems, that the justice
changed his mind about granting q
change of venue which he:tlnally con-
eluded he could not do since the case
had had a partial hearingin his court
and he notified defendants attorney
that the case would be tried next FRI
day. ~: u: ~. :. ,ss5s .-..ss..x4
