Mr.. Roise s. Co. believes this will be
of interest to the farmers Of Kandiyohi
County because it is thought to be the
first car load sold by one farmer at
one time. The. corn was of good
grade and good price was paid for
It. It is to be hoped that next year
there will be many farmers who will
have corn to dispose of. --&@

She will return to Minneapolis when
her hand gets healed up. Kid was
one of those populists who at the
close OF the last presidential election
believed that the people were becom'
ing totally blind concerning the vel
fare of the country. But by their op.
position to the railroad merger he
now understands that slowly but sure.
ly they are learning to fear that the
mighty corporations if left unre.
strained will gobble up the entire ma
tion. The populists have in the past
predicted this, but the republicans
have been too blinded by party pride
to give the subject a simple thought
Now some of them are thinking OF the
past and are arriving at the conclu'
sion that what the pops were saying
was not all nonsense. ..... We venture
the assertion that Svea possesses thu
champion letter-writer of the county
One of our young men recently wrot,
letter which measured seven feet ir
length and one foot in width, to som'
relatives in Dakota. The letter wa.
closely written on both sides of tn
paper in common-sized letters. If any
one knows of better record, let hin
make it known through The TRIBUNE
...... .Seme of those who have stron,
liquor for their idol and who imagin'
that they were the targets of some o
the ''bricks' that Kid has thrown a
the traffic, are displeased. But Xii
believes that the truth should be toll
about the ruinous stuff, and will there
fore 60 right ahead. 49,. Emil Heg
strom, our efficient band leader, ha
signed an agreement with the Ray
mond band. Emil is an excellent mu
sic teacher, and the Raymond boy
have an advantage in securing hi
services. ..... After Feb. l, we vii
have two daily mail routes within tn
Svea limits. Some dissatisfaction
exists among the farmers to the north
east, but taking everything into con
sideration, the writer believes that tn
way the route is now laid out is to tn
best advantage of the county.

WILCOX Is VICIOUS.
Alleged Murderer Attacks Prison
Keeper and Others.
elizabeth City Tar HeeD

Jim" WilcoA. the alleged murderer
&C Ella MauGe Cropsey, has made an
enemy of one o. his once best friends
ince Wilcox's imprisonment Mr.. i. A.
Newborn. the jat,er, has spared no eff
fort to make prison life comfortable for
the doomed man. He has never re-
fused to grant the slightest request of
the prisoner and many times a a the
kind hearted jailer has walked to and
from on errands for the hated Of men.
Saturday afternoon Wilcox expressed
q wish for some matches. Mr.. NeWDern,
or "Booney' as ne is better known,
/ went over to his house and procuring
q box of matches returned to the jan.
Wilcox is in an upper cell. "Booney'
drew himself W by the bars and eX-
tended the MATCHES to the prisoner. In
stead of expressing a word of thanks
Jim Wilcox reached for a knife n
! aimed a vicious blow at the upstretched
hand, inflicting an ugly wound upon
n of the ~jailer's fingers.
Mr.. Newhern dropped to the floor and
demanded an explanation.
The prisoner assumed a murderous
attitude and TIN eatened worse were
the opportunity presented. He also ex-
pressed a regret that he did not sue
coed in inf1icting a more serious wound.
Inside the prison walls an angry
argument ensuel beteen the keeper and
MS charge. MT. Ne"DeTn s reply was
in part: Jim .ilcox, / have treated
you as a friend. l have never once re-
fused to grant you anything within my
power, while the hand of every man in
the county has been turned against
you. Now that o lave acted as you
have, / shall treat you Just as l do
the other prisoners and when you hang
I want to be the man TO pull the rope"
WilcOX's reply Wds a sheer.
This IS not the first time since his
imprisonment that Wilcox has dis
played his murderous character. Once
Robert Mitchell, a prominent citizen Of
Camden, visited the JAIL. and being
curious, sought the cell Of the alleged
murderer.
Wilcox met him at the bars with a
beer bottle and demanded: What in
the HI do YOU want here" Mr..
Mitchell expecting a collision with the
beer bottle beat q hasty retreat. In
Camden ne told he story and the peo-
| pie OF that county were highly indig-
nanI.
