OWNS VALUABLE GOATS
Mrs. Armour of New Mexico Has ESQ, ooC
Angoras on Her Mountain


:. .t,.* II Ranch.
The most valuable AngOra goat. In
Arnerica-for it's market price is placed at
$1,500-is owned by Mrs. Armour, who lives
in Sierra county, New Mexico. It Is the
patriarch of a herd numbering $4,000 from
which the owner Is making a handsome
fortune. = .
Nearly four years ago Mrs. Armour was
left a widow, penniless and with nine
small children DEPENDENT on her for sup
port. The ranchmen and miners took
compassion on the destitute family and
contributed a small sum for their imme
date relief. r,frl
Then she p1uckily cast about for some
means Of earning living, SO that she
might nots.be a burden on the generosity
Eof her friends by chance there drifted
into Campo ranchman with a herd Of
ninety, sAngora goats for sale. Nobody
cared to buy them for 1t was Thought
there; was more money in cattle-raising.
With the genuine intuition Mrs. Armour
looked at their sillken coats and knew that
they would be valuable. o., - y
But she hadn't any money and didn't
want to borrow. So she made a PROPOSE
ton to take a. small flock of the goats,
tend them and care for, them and breed
them, and at the end Of the year divide
the profits with the owner. The PROPOSE
ton was accepted. She took her goats
and her children and went on the noun
tain S1de 6,OOO IeeC ABOVE the sea lever,
where the scrub oaks grow In profusion.
Thus she secured the necessary fodder,
and as for shelter the goats needed none.
She located a claim, built herself a ranch
and settled down to work. At the end OF
year her success was such that she
had money enough to buy flock of her
| own and start out independently.
Since that time each year has added to
her prosperity. She now employs twenty
goatherds to care for her flocks. The
greatest precaution is required to protect
the goats from the inroads Of the noun
tain lions, or cougars, which are so nu-
merous that the ranchment have to Or
ganize hunts to get rid Of them.

and pluck Mrs. Armour has made her

WAS AN ADOPTED DAUGHTER
When Edna May Sowders DiscOv-
cred the Fact She Was Eager
to Find Out ''WhO
L Am"

GLOW am I going to find out who
am?" was the plaintive query of a young
girl as she stood at one of the windows
of the counter in the office of the clerk Of
the district court yesterday. She was a
bright, intelligent and attractive looking
miss of seventeen years and had come to
inquire as to her adoption by Jacob W.
Sowders and Mary Sowders, in 1884.
After having believed from the time Of
her earliest recollection that she was the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sowders the
young girl had been Informed on the
previous evening that she was an adopted
child, and she had come to the clerk s
office to verify that information. From
the records Deputy Clerk Johnson was
able to inform her that she had been
adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Sowders, but
then she insisted upon knowing who her
real parents We're, and the files in the
adoption proceedings were brought out.
From the files it was learned that the
girl, who has always been known and
was baptized as Edna May Sowders, was
adopted when she was but six weeks old
by Mr. and Mrs. Sowders and that she
was the child of Nettie Olson, who con-
scented to the adoption.
Il have been told before" said the girl,
that L was an adopted child, but Mrs.
Sowders always told me not to pay any
attention to any such remarks. This time

VAN is HAPPY AGAIN
THINGS WHILE IN d.
LUTH
THINKS IT IS A GREAT CITY
Says Pleasant Things About Normal
School and High School and Pre-
diets. Year of Great Pros
perity for Everybody.

Gov. Van SAINT returned yesterday
morning from his third flying visit to
Duluth. His excellency has been consid-
erably worried over the reports received
from his trusted lieutenants to the effect
that While the people of Duluth were not
particularly opposed to him, the political
leaders were. Hence his frequent visits
to the Zenith City.
There is no denying the fact that the
governor feels better assured of his posi-
ton in Duluth sentiment than he did be-
fore his last visit He SO confided to his
friends on his return. He shook hands
with the major portion of the populace
and praised Duluth until ne was hoarse.
He figures that this offset whatever adj
verse sentiment there was in that city.
Speaking Of lis visit to Duluth the gov
ernor says:
81 was greatly pleased with my visit to
Duluth, and particularly that part of it
that included a trip to the high school
and the normal school. 1 believe the Du-
iuth high school is one of the greatest
institutions of the kind in the country,
and perhaps the finest of it's character
in our sisterhood of states.
The state normal school should he
opened in September, as seems to be the
desire there. 1t is a state institution.
and a wise business policy would suggest
the completion of the structure and the
finishing of approaches. 1t is reasonable
70 presume tnat the next legislature will
make appropriations sufficient to do this
This school should be made the equal of
any in the state of like character.
After visiting the normal school, am
better informed as to its needs and shall
be better able to judge of the needs of
the institution in the future Prof.
Phelps told me that the two blocks lying
below the normal school site can be
bought by the park board for S. 00O If
this is true. think it would be S., 900
well spent. Money spent in a city for
parks and breathing spots is always well
invested, and it is something that can
never be as well done as when a city
is small. l believe the tract could well be
secured by the city as a part of its park
system. 1t would add greatly to the APP
pearance of the surroundings of the
school and Of that part of the city, and
would be especially valuable to the school
in that it would always afford an unob-
structed view Of the lake.
Asked regarding reported possible
change in the normal school board, par
ticularly with reference to Duluth. the
governor said: 81 do not care to discuss
the differences between the local director
and the board of control. I regard their
relations and the present situation as I'M
the matter the better for the school, as
well as all concerned.
Il am surprised with the early opening
of navigation. We have always consider
ed Duluth as in the frozen region. but I
find this spring that your lake ships are
getting under steam as early as our
steamboats, on the Mississippi This viii

SALE WAS VALID.
n. e. Weir Must Pay for Whisky
Purchased From kessIer & Co.

In the case of julius Kessler & CO..
against N. e. Weir, Judge Kelly filed an
order yesterday granting judgment in
favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $240 80
with interest from jan g. 1901.
This action was brought on a prom
issory note for $240.39, executed Oct g.

and due ninety days from that date
1t was given for the purchase price or
five barrels of whisky in bond IN the
Cedar Brook United States bonded
distillery warehouse No. Al, situated at
Lawrenceburg, Ky.
The court holds that the transaction
was fully consummated when the ware
house receipt for the five barrels OF
whisky was delivered to the defendant
tEaSmuch as title to certain specified
goods passed with the receipt, and that
after that time the defendant could not
repudiate his contract.
AS to the defendants contention that
the sale was void on the ground that 1t
was violation of law, being an unIi-
censed sale by a wholesale dealer be-
cause the PLAINTIFF was not authorized to
do business in Minnesota, the court
holds that the transaction in fact was
consummated in Chicago when the nego-
tiations arranged by the agent in st.
Paul were ratified and accepted by the
firm in Chicago, The firm was licensed
to do business in Chicago and New York
and therefore the sale was valid

went home happy.

Tired of Married Life.

Dora Wiltse has filed suit in the dis
trict court against Rupert Wiltse alleg-
ing cruel and inhumane treatment, ne
elect and non-SuppOrt.
In the complaint in the case it is re-
lated that the plaintiff and defendant,
whose present ages are thirty seven and
forty-three years. respectively, were
married at Winona, Oct Is, 1884, and
that there are four children living,
Frank, aged fifteen years; George, thir-
teen years; Hazel, six years, and Beu-
lah, four years
After a long recital of the alleged
shortcomings on the part of the defend
ant, in the way OF failure to properly
provide for his family, it is stated that
he deserted the plaintiff Aug 16, 1900,
and has since continued to live apart
from her.
1t is stated that following this deser-
ton the children continued to reside
with the plaintiff and were supported by
her; but about two weeks prior to
Thanksgiving, 1901, the defendant by
force abducted the boy George and took
him to the village of Robinson, Brown
county, Kansas, ana that on Jan. S, 1902,
the boy Frank was also enticed from his
home in this city by the defendant and
taken to Robinson. The plaintiff de-
mands, besides a divorce, the custody
of all four of the children.
