UP BY JAMES LEGGER
Trouble Occurred After "A Dance at
Gardeners HaII-LeEGer Speaks
Roughly to a Woman, and We'll

Fight Starts.

James Logger and Irvine w. Wei
bourne, both colored, became involved in
q row early yesterday morning, and as
a result Logger is in the city hospital
with eight knife cuts about his head and
the upper part of his body. Melbourne
had his head badly gashed with large
frontier revolver, used by Logger. Both
men are under arrest.
The trouble arose after a dance given
by some colored people in Gardener S
hail. 65 East Fifth street. Most of the
dancers had gone home before the affair
occurred, as previous to that time, ene
evening had been an orderly one.
A man and a woman had some words
as to whether they should go home or
not. Logger interfered and told the
woman gruff1y that she should do what
she was told Melbourne objected to
Legger's gruff tones and the woman's
escort wanted to start trouble.
Logger began to think that he was in
for it and ran behind a counter and got
out large Colts 45-cahbre re-
yolver, frontier pattern. The man and
woman over whom the trouble arose ran
down stairs and Logger followed them to
the sidewalk to make certain that they
would leave the place.
There were some more words at the
foot of the stairs and Melbourne joined

according to Welbourne's story, Logger
struck him over the eye with the heavy
revolver, knocking him to the sidewalk.
Melbourne got to his feet and the fight
started which resulted in Legger's being
stabbed eight times. The knife used was
evidently a small one, as none of the
wounds is serious.
Legger's story of the affair is that We'll
squabbling with the woman, engaged in
a fight and he interfered with the inten-

both men. Melbourne will be arraigned

PRAISES PINE COUNTY
FIRE WARDEN ANDREWS RETURNS
FROM TRIP OF EXPLORATION
Says Much Land Good Only for For
estry Has Been UnwiseIy Burnt
Off - Many Impr Oyements Being
Made, and Country Has n Great
Future.

Gen. c. C. Andrews. chief forest fire
warden, who has just visited a portion Of
Pine county a dozen or more miles east
and southeast of Sandstone, said yester-
day:
The country there is moderately I'M
dulating and well watered with brooks
Of soft water containing trout. The
original forest was principally pine which
was cut about twenty years ago. The
country was mostly burned over by the
Hinckley fire and there are extensive
areas Of dead forest which it killed-a
dismal landscape. Yet there are occas-
iCnal clumps both Of green hard wood
and pine which escaped the fire; and as
one approaches the st. Croix river there
is still a good deal of green pine of small
size. On the greater part of the land
young poplar, now ten to fifteen feet in
height, wild cherry and other sorts of
trees, including some pine am spruce,
have come up; but even much of this has
lately been killed by fire
There is disposition among some set
tiers to check and stIbdue by fire all
young forest growth as they think that
by so doing they facilitate and hasten
the bringing the land under cultivation.
1t would be wiser if they would leave
forest to grow on such areas as will not
prove good for cultivation. Probably the
I greater part of the land is suitable for
dSIICulluIe, Out Jnefe IS some that would
prove more profitable if kept in forest
There are farmers in Pine county who
twenty years ago settled on eighty-acre
tracts of wooded land and who today
have to buy their fuel
The average price at which cut over
pine lands are held in Pine and several
ether counties is ST per acre. Speculation
IN them Is now common. People even
borrow money to buy them. The result
IS that the price has been carried be-
yond the means of poor settlers and sales
to actual settlers have declined.
From Sandstone to Danforths station
twelve miles due east is a good road
which is now being extended further
east. From Danforth's is also a good
road ten miles south. The town Of
| Hinckley will this year expend $4,000 in
| building a road eastward from the vii
| lage. At Sandstone 300 men are steadily
employed in the quarries at Kettle river.
whose perpendicular banks about 100 feet
hlgh consist Of huge blocks Of sand
stone. One of the best district school
houses in the state built of this stone, at
a cost Of $4,000, has just been dedicated
at Sandstone. Pine county contains 800
444 acres of land exclusive Of water. and
has splendid future; and it is but one
OF Minnesota's eighty-two counties.

State Dairy and Food Commissioner Nc
Connell returned yesterday from a tour
of inspection of Blue Earth county very
much elated with the general prospects
of the farmers in Southern Minnesota,
and especially with the outlook for the
butter industry in that section Of the
state. Creamery men everywhere are
feeling very cheerful and hopeful and ex-
pect an unusually prosperous year." said
MIR. Mcconnell. when this glorious rain
is done I think you will see an immense
increase in the butter supply at the
creameries, which will mean a material
drop in the price of butter.
II find that interest in the forthcom-
ing butter scoring contest, which will
close the first year of our new put sue
cessful experiment, is exceptionally en-
thusiastic among creamery butter makers.
They await with great eagerness the re-
suit Of the contest and the averaging Of
the results of the entire twelve contests
upon which Gov. Van SAINTS beautiful
gold medal viii be awarded to the win
ner, who will be champion buttermaker
Of Minnesota for the year. The sentiment
is very much in favor Of continuing these
monthly contests. When see the inter
est taken by the butter men in these con-
tests, I wish we had money enough or
that / could personally afford to keep
two or three butter experts at work do
ing nothing else than visiting the butter
makers personally and assisting them in
preparing their butter for these contests,
and in pointing out to them wherein they
fail and the remedies. This would be
work Of inestimable value to the state.
II am indeed heartily in favor Of the
suggestion that the state make an APP
preparation for the employment OF two
or more dairy herd experts to devote their
time to going about the state and in
speeding dairy herds and advising the
farmers how to improve their herds, and
convince them that it does not pay to
keep COWS who do not render a Eood aC-
count of themselves in dollars and cents.
This work would be especially valuable
in making possible a selection OF the very
best cows in the state for exhibition mt
our state and national exhibitions. Wen,
let us hope that some day we can do
all these things. While we are doing
everything we possibly can with the
means at command, / recognize the vast
ness Of the work which it would be pos
sible to do if we had unlimited means.
But, Of course, we cannot have every
thing and do everything at once; We must
work toward perfection gradually.
eve have encouraging reports regard
ing the building Of new ceameries. Last
week we had reports Of new creameries
being built at Spruce Hill, Pratt, Fair
child Fremont Corners Elk River, May
hew Lake, Crow River, New London,
Chenille. Cheese factories also are be-
ing built, seven new ones being Dodge
county's record thus far this year. We
are growing slowly but surely"

LESS CANDY.
BETTER to Give Children Delicious
Food Than Candy.

Some foods will cure dyspepsia and
other foods will cause it. The safest
way to get well is to use the food that
agrees with the stomach and permits
Nature to go along in a thoroughly nat
ural way.
A lady says, ST have at last found a
true way to get well and keep well, and
that is by the use of Grape-Nuts Break
fast Food
For six years I suffered with indiges-
ton and palpitation OF the heart so that
I could not sleep nights. I tried a great
many different kinds of medicine and a
lot of different kinds of cereals, but none
of them helped me, and my stomach
seemed to get worse and worse.
[ became very respondent and was at
loss to know what to do. One day I
read in the paper that Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food would cure Indigestion
and build up the body. I wondered if it
contained any medicine, but learned that
it did not, but that it was only food
prepared so that the stomach could easily
digest it.
The next time I went down town l
bought two packages. This was on Tues
day and it was all gone on Saturday for
we all liked it SO much, so l. sent down
and got three more packages and from
that time I have been using Grape-Nuts
steadily and my indigestion has entirely
disappeared.
Sometimes when my little girl has been
playing extra hard after supper she viii
climb on my knee, pat my cheek and
whisper in my ear. Mamma please give
me something good say knowing all
the time) What is good, dear?'' She SAYS.
'Grape-Nuts with cream on top, and
there is nothing, candy or anything else
that she enjoys better than this good
wholesome food. She eats it for break
fast every morning and prefers Grape
Nuts pudding for dinner. At night She
has Grape-Nuts for her supper with a
soft boiled egg, and she thrives wonder
| fully on this kind of food" Name given
