A remarkable case is on the calendar of
the district court for Wednesday. 1t is
the action of Kristina Johnson and John
A. Carlston against A. W. Bacon, in
which the Minnesota Title. Insurance and
Trust company seeks to defend the title
of property on Thirteenth avenue and
Sixth street. Mr.. Bacon insured the title

the house and lot.
after a man and his acknowledged wife
by due ceremony had mortgaged their
homestead and the mortgage had been
foreclosed and possession Of the property
taken, after the death of the man, a
woman appears with her son from
Illinois and alleges that the mortgage was
void in that she was the real wife of the
mortgagor and did not join in the sig

insurance company, has just returned
from Illinois, where he took the affidavit
Of this woman.

FINE ARTS WINTER PLANS
They Include Two Lectures by
Ernest Fenollosa-Permanent
Picture Fund Possible.

The Minneapolis Society Of Fine Arts
feels that the annual exhibition this fall
proved an encouraging success in view Of
the disadvantages under which it was
given. The exhibition in St. Paul to which
many of the canvases shown in Mime
apolis were sent at the close Of the ex-
hibition here reduced the expenses Of
shipping considerably. If the present St.
Paul exhibition should result in an annual
affair In conjunction with the Minneapolis
exhibition it would be great help in re-
ductng the expense and in securing val
liable pictures for exhibition.
The success of a small group of art en-
thusiasts In securing a sufficient amount
to purchase one Of Edmund G. Tarbells
paintings from the annual exhibition was
SO encouraging that it is probably that a
plan will be worked out in the course of
the winter for securing a permanent pic
ture fund by annual subscriptions in which
all interested in pictures may contribute
their mite to building up large and valu-
able permanent collection.
The winter plans Of the society include
two lectures by the eminent art critic and
authority on Japanese art, Ernest Fenol-
losa, early In January. Mr.. Fenollosa was
the principal speaker in the manual train
ing and drawing sections of the N. E. A. al
it's Minneapolis meeting The society is
also planning a Photographic salon to be
given In conjunction with the Camera
club, which is affiliated with the society,"
The Saturday night drawing class al
which the fee is merely nominal one
opened successfully last week in charge
of George Harting. This is open to every.
one, no previous training being required
for entrance. and has been of much serv.
Ice to young people employed during thu
day.

while he was in the detention room at the
courthouse and collected $40 In payment
for the broken mirror upon promise that
he would not be prosecuted. Judge Dick
inson questioned the proprietor closely
and he denied that the money was paid
upon promise that the man would not

KILLED A Hen THIEF
Henry Bailey, a Suburbanite, Kills
Robber by a Chance
Shot.
Fired Point Blank in the Dark and
Found the Body This Morn
ing.

Henry Bailey fired a shot at random In
the dark and then went back to bed. He
did not know until this morning that he
had killed a man.
This is the story Of a tragedy enacted
last night at Langdon, a suburb OF St..
Paul, which lies near St. Paul Park.
Bailey is a truck gardener and chick
en- fancier He raises q great deal Of
poultry for the market. OF late he had
been troubled by chicken thieves, who
raded his roost and those of his neigh
bors repeatedly. Finally Bailey devised
an alarm which should warn him when
his hencoop had been entered. 1t was
arranged to ring a bell in his bedroom
as soon as the door to the poultry house
was opened.
Long before daylight this morning the
alarm bell rang. Bailey rose hastily and,
going to aswindow overlooking his poul-
try yard. with his shotgun, fired one
shot toward it in the dark. He saw moth
ing and heard nothing.
This morning, soon after daylight, Bal
ley was Mortified to find the dead body
of a man lying near the door Of the poul-
try house. A sack partly filled with chick
ems by his side told what he had come
for, and horse and light wagon in the
road near by showed that he had planned
extensive operations.
The body has not been identified.

THEIR HEARTS CAPTURED
Letter to Citizens Staff, Rawlins
Post, by J. M, Falkner.

That the confederate soldiers appre-
clate the movement in the north to aid
IN the building Of soldiers home at
Mountain Creek, Ala, is shown most
clearly and interestingly in a letter re-
ceived by J. B. Gilhllan, president of the
citizens staff Of Rawlins Post, G. A. r.,
from j. M. Falkner, chairman of the
building committee of the home men,
toned. Mr.. Gilfllan sent to Commander
A. D. Reade Of RaWlins Post $3.50, the gift
of the citizens staff, to be forwarded to
help build the home. Upon it's receipt
Mr.. Falkner wrote in substance as fol-
lows:
IT desire to tender to you and to each
OF the above named gentlemen, "a list
had been given) not only my sincere
thanks, but the hearty thanks Of every
old confederate soldier in this state
Your contribution Is the largest one I
have received from any post or individual
to date.
1.-THE circular letter issued by General
Torrance and the fraternal feeling ex-
hibited, and kind sentiments expressed by
the different G. A. R. posts and individual
members thereof, throughout the north
hmave touched and softened the heart Of
every confederate soldier in the south; and
II there were any confederate soldiers
that have not long since realized that
the north is no longer their enemy, those
few as a result Of General Torrance S
magnanimous letter, and the quick re-
Spouse thereto by the different G. A. r.
posts, now realize that those who were
once their. enemies to be feared are now
their true and loving friends to be trusted
History does not record where in any
war the victors have captured the enemy's
arms and munitions Of war and then cap.
tured the hearts of the vanquished. But
that Is what the north has just done
Through the fundamentally Of Genera
Torrance the north and south are now
bound together by ties that cannot agair
be severed"
