at the bottom of the lake d large
and exceedingly well preserved
set Of reindeer antlers. Mr..
Melby AYERS that the antlers
must have lain in the water
thousands Of years and that it is
not improbable that they are the
relics Of one of the original pair
of reindeer which Noah had upon
the Ark. Each antler is about
five feet long and has seven
prongs and both are firmly at
tached to the skull and at their

BIT OF A ROMANCE.

Mayor Conger of Mcintosh has
many friends in this city who will
be pleased to learn that he has
taken a wife, having been married
on Tuesday to Miss Lucy A.
Heiser Of Albert Lea, MINI.
There is a bit of romance con-
nected with the affair that is in
teresting. Last summer during
the illness of Mr.. Conger's son
who was spending the time with
his grandmother at Northwood,
Iowa, Miss Heiser who is a pro-
fessional nurse, was called to at
tend the lad. His illness was due
to meningitis, and for some time he
|hovered between life and death,
his recovery being due in a large
manner to the careful nursing OF
Miss Heiser. An attachment
sprang up between Mr.. Conge1
and Miss Heiser that ripened in.
to love and the sequel is the mar.
rage ceremony that was pre-.
formed at her home in Albert
Lea on Tuesday.

WILLING TO RISK HIS
SAFE ON SIDEWALK
Alex McGuissan Has Confidence in the
Proximity of Police Station.

Upon the Sidewalk in front of a
small carpenter shop on West Third
street there is standing large iron
safe, which presents a constant temp
tation to any fobber that might pass
that way. The safe being large and
the door of the shop being small, the
owner found it impossible to get his
treasure box under cover. It has stood
there two weeks already, and as yet
there have been no attempts to dyna-
mite it and its contents are entirely
secure :
Alex Mcguiggah moved into his shop
at 80 West Third street about two
weeks ago, and with his other prop
erty, brought with him his safe. When
the safe arrived it was found that the
door was too. small to admit it into
the office of the shop.
What's the Odds" said McGuiggan,
there's the Central police station
right across the street, and what rob-
Der would be 50 bold as to dynamite
the safe in this neighborhood ?" Ac-
cordingly the safe has remained in it's
position on the sidewalk, attracting
the attention of pedestrians, who are
impressed with the oddity of the sight.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
BY HER BROTHER
Nine-Year Old Jennie Hanson
Seriously Wounded in the
Back.

Jennie Hanson, the nine-year- old
daughter of Ole Hanson, 636 Hall ave-
nue., was accidentally shot in the back
yesterday morning by her brother
John, sixteen years old, who. was prac-
tcing Workmanship at the back of
the house.
Jennie was in the dining room yes
terday morning about o'clock, when
she suddenly fell forward with a
scream. Mrs. Hanson, picking her up,
found the blood flowing in stream
from the girls back, just below the
shoulder blade.
The accident was caused by her
brother firing at a target which he
had placed against the outer wall of
shed at the back of the house. The
bullet, which was fired from a 22-
caliber rifle, penetrated the one-inch
board on which the target was hung,
sped through the summer kitchen and,
after passing through a screen door,
struck the girl in the back.
DR.. HI. G. Johnson was summoned,
and he found the girl in great pain
The bullet had entered beneath the
shoulder blade and it was impossible
to ascertain whether it had penetrated
the lung or whether it has merely
lodged in the muscles of the back Ow-
ing to the condition of the girl, it was
impossible to remove the bullet yester-
day. DR.. Johnson said that the girl
will recover unless there are unex-
pected developments.

down by an unknown bicycle rider
yesterday morning in front of her
home, and as a result suffered frac-
ture of the cellarbone.
Florence was playing in front of her
home yesterday morning with neigh
bors' children, when about $50 o'clock
she stepped upon the cycle path, which
runs in front of her home. bicycle
rider was speeding rapidly along the
path and, without warning to the lit
tie girl, whom he saw step upon the
path several feet ahead of him, he ran
over her.
The little girl was thrown with
great force to the ground, where she
lay unconscious till she was picked up
by her companions. The rider, after
he had regained his feet, mounted his
wheel and sped away without stop
ping to pick UP his victim or to see
how badly she had been hurt. When
older folks arrived at the scene the
rider had disappeared.
Florence was carried into her home
by her mother, and DR.. II. c. Johnson.
who resides in the vicinity, was i'm
mediately sent for. The girl was soon
revived, but examination by Dr. john

son said that the girls condition is In
no way alarming, though she will be
confined to bed for some time.
No trace of the rider had been found
last night The only description which
the children could give of him was
that hA was "a young man. He APP
peared so suddenly and the children
about at the time became so excited
when the girl was struck that they
failed to note the appearance of the
young man. When others arrived he
was out of sight.
