Joe Primrose, a familiar character
in Princeton for many years, was last
Monday committed to the insane hos
pital at Fergus Falls and on Tuesday
morning Sheriff Claggett took the man
to that institution. Primrose drifted
up to Milaca last fall and not liking
the air of that enterprising place, he
accepted sentence to the Minneapolis
work house as a matter of recreation.
He put in his appearance in Princeton
a short time ago. He had not been
back long before he found that his
hands would reach down into his pock-
cts in vain for a little change to keep
the wolf from the door and light the
inward fires of enthusiasm of his alco-
holic nature. With his burning desire
to look into the depths of schooner
of beer or tip the all too small glass of
CUTLERY he soon drifted into social
mood that made him altogether too
familiar around town, Instead of 60

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT,

Pupils of the High School Produce Miles
Opera House With Great Success.
The presentation of 1.-THE Courtship
of Miles Standish" and the Crawford
play at the opera house last FRIDAY
night, by the pupils of the Princeton
high school as their annual entertain
ment, was done in a manner that
brought forth nothing but praise from
those who witnessed the entertain
ment. The weather was rough and
stormy and conducive to anything but
a crowded house at any ordinary enter
tainment before the footlights, but
when the curtain went up at $50 and
revealed good house the high school

industriously to perfect the scholars in
their parts were we'll repaid for their

Price of Prison Binder Irvine.

The board of control held a m Getting
last week and established the price of
prison made binder Irvine for the COM
ing season. The price is 81 cents per
pound for sisal and standard Irvine.
Owing to the scarcity of good Manila
hemp, no Manila or mixed Irvine will
be manufactured this season.
This price-94 cents-is about cent
lower than outside jobbers are charg-
ing. The Irvine will be sold direct 10
the farmers until May 1, after which
date dealers throughout the State will
be permitted to purchase a limited
amount.
From now until harvest time the
Irvine plant will be working to it's
utmost capacity.-Prison Mirror.

Fire RObs Them of All,

Last Thursday night about seven
o'clock the frame house of Charles
Haskell on the north side of the river
caught fire and burned to the ground
in very short time. Mrs. Haskell
and the children were across the street
at the home of Mrs. Bert Bates where
they had spent the afternoon. Mr..
Haskell came home about six o'clock
and built a fire in the kitchen stove
and went across the street to take sup
per at Mr.. and Mrs, Bates. He had
not been there long before Mr.. Bates
looked out and noticed that Mr.. Has
kell's house was all afire and the flames
were coming out of the roof. The
house was lined with plaster paper
and covered with tar paper on the out
side so that it burned very rapidly.
An effort was made to get in and save
some of the furniture and clothing, but
the whole house was a mass of flames
and smoke by this time and all that
was saved was trunk that was pulled
out through the bedroom window. The
fire alarm was turned in, but when the
department got over on tho hill the
building was beyond saving.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
When Mr.: Haskell left the house he
shut the stove up and left lamp burn
ing and it is thought that the fire
caught either from the lamp or stove.
The house was story and half build
ing that Mr.. Haskell built last summer
and had finished so he could move into
it for the winter, and to lose his home
and all the furniture and clothing at
this time is severe hardship. He
also lost $50 bushels of potatoes which
were stored in the cellar. He had in
surance to the amount of $500 on his
house and goods which while it will
not cover his loss will help him to get
on his feet again. He probe bly, will
rebuild the house this spring.
Mr.. Haskell and his family are stop
ping with his brother-in-law, Mr.. Bates
for the present.

A high-class vaudeville show-some-

nearly all of the small dramatic COM

songs or dances given by persons TAX

Vile act? It is something performed
by one or more persons that is start

quires skill or strength, something that
has taken years to perfect. This town
has never had vaudeville show. The
little specialties, that is, songs and
dances, given by dramatic companies,
are no more like vaudeville acts than

Galloway cattle at Omaha on last Fri
day and Saturday. Mr.. Mark reports
the sale big event in the live stock
line. There were 113 head sold for
$500. They belonged to the famous
Wavertree herd of Galloway cattle
owned by the late Edward Paul of
Dundee, MINI. Among the buyers
was N. P. Clarke of St. Cloud who .pur-
chased several fine head. Mr.. Mark
bought nineteen head of E. H. White

lings to three year olds. The others
were COWS and heifers, all full bloods
and a fine lot of animals: Among the
bulls Mark bought were the following:
"Pericles,'' "White Oak Lad" ''None
Such, and ''Scotch Lad.'' The latter
animal was on exhibition at the Min
nesota State Fair last fall and when
fourteen months old weighed over 200
pounds. All the animals are in good
shape and will arrive this week. The
Galloways are fast coming to the front
as beef and breeding animals and the
records of all the toppy sales at stock
yards show that the Galloways are al
ways winners when it comes to making
great beef animals. Mark intends to
pay considerable attention to Galloways
and will offer farmers some good
foundation stock for a herd of CAL
loways. Grant purchased a yearling
Galloway bull at the sale and also
bought ten head of Angora goats.

MEANT NO REFLECTION.
IL. l.. SoIding, Esq, Explained in the
SuDeriOr Court.

r. L. Colding. Esq, after the names
of the jurors were called in the Su-
perior Court this morning, announced
that he intended no disrespect to the
judge in his expressed intention of car
rying the Cicero Watson case to the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Colding said:
Il claim the privilege of correcting
an impression that seems to prevail
that l have been harshly criticising the
court and jury IN regard to the charge
OF the court and the verdict returned
in the case of the state of Georgia VS..
Cicero Watson, who was indicted and
tried for murder, and in which case a
verdict was returned of shooting at an
other not in his own defense.
Il have said that it was my pur-
pose and intention to file a motion to
set aside the verdict, as, in my opinion,
the same is not in accordance with the
pleadings in the case, and is not such
verdict as can be legally sustained
under an Indictment for murder.
This case was submitted to the
jury on what the court considered a
proper charge, and, doubtless, the
court is still of the same opinion.
The jury trying this case have rem
dered what they considered a proper
verdict, and doubtless still think so.
Now, it is true that | do differ with
the court and jury as to the correct
ness of he verdict but this difference
is purely a legal one, and at the
proper time, as it is my privilege and
duty to do, l expect to have this YER
dict reviewed by the proper tribunal.
"Of course, the court knows that any
attorney has a right to object to any
ruling made nv the pOurt aOU
returned by jury; and, in the pres
ent case, l desire to assure the court
and the gentlemen who composed the
jury in the case that l did not intend
to say that it was my purpose to do
more than my plain professional duty
in the premises.
Il have the highest regard for the
court and also for the jury, many
members of which / count as my per-
sonal friends, and feel that it is put
due to me that l take this occasion
to say that | intended no reflection
upon either the court or the jury.
Il consider the finding incorrect,
and, under the circumstances, 1t is my
duty to try to have the same set
aside"
Judge Barrow said that he was salts
fed that Mr.. Colding was acting only
upon his legal rights, and that he
intended no reflection upon either the
court or the jury that had brought in
the verdict against Watson of shoot
ing not in his own defense" He then
told the jury that a lawful verdict had
been returned.

OTHER DIAMOND ROBBERIES.
One of MIR. DesbOuilIons and An
other of the Late s. T.. Hamilton.

One of MIR. DesbOuiIIons and An
other of the Late $. T.. Hamilton.
Mr.. DesBouillons' loss recalls the
robbery of his store and the blowing
open of his safe about eighteen years
ago when he lost several thousand dol
lars worth of jewels. This job was the
work of professionals. The safe which
was located almost the same as the
present safe in Mr.. DesBouillons' store
was blown open early in the night and
ritled. The burglars laid low and were
never captured. The police of half a
dozen cities searched for them, but il
was believed later that they were in
Savannah all the time, and did not
leave here until some time after they
worked the job and then carried their
plumber with them. The robbery was a
daring one and was committed while
people We're passing the store.
A still larger robbery was committed
many years before that in the late
S. P. Hamilton's jewelry store, later
succeeded by Theus Bros, which was
then at Congress and Whitaker streets
where Leo Franks harness store now
is. Mr.. 7. N. Theus was at that time
a clerk in the store. The thieves en-
tered the store and after looking at
some goods, lifted seevral thousand
dollars worth of diamonds and other
jewels and made their escape. Some
time afterward a gang of diamond
thieves was arrested in New York, and
among other robberies they confessed
the Savannah robbery. The Jewels
were never recovered
