ing a Revolver.
From Thursdays Daily.

FROM InurSOayS daily.
James Hamilton, sixteen year old
lad, created a sensation at the home of
his grandfather, j. M. Broome, on By
ron street, late last night. He and his
mother are living there, and the young
man wanted his grandfather to give him
key to the door, so that he could come
and go as he liked. This the old gentle
man refused to do The boy then drew
revolver and fired five shots into the
ceiling of the room. Mr.. Broome made
hasty exit from the room.
This matter was not reported to the
police until this morning, and then Of
ficer Bienapf arrested young Hamilton.
The latter was taken before Judge Shiss-
Ter and pleaded guilty to the charge of
disorderly conduct and paid fine of
$S.65. County Attorney Wilson was con-
suited before the charge was entered, and
held that no more serious charge could be
presented.
When asked by Chief Bowen why he
had done the shooting, the young man
replied that he wanted to see his grand
father jump. The revolver is 3S-cali-
bre. Young Hamilton is mem
Der of the senior class of the high school,
and is six feet tall and bright in his
studies. His friends are surprised at his
action. One of the bullets fred went
nearly through the ceiling into room
occupied by renters.

ADAMS BIRTH DATE.

According to foreign, religious jour
nal, DR.. Lightfoot, chancellor of the uni
versity of Cambridge, has spent much
time during the last fifteen years in an
endeavor to ascertain the exact date of
Adams birth, and has at last solved the
problem.

born % 9-o'clock on the morning of Oc-
tober %, in the year 40O4 B. c. That
this is the exact date, he says, can be
proven to the satisfaction of any scien-

ping with this problem and is confident
he will be able to solve it within the

DECIDE TO KEEP on.
Buttermakers and Creamery Managers
Will Picnic.

From Thursdays Daily.
A meeting of the buttermakers and
creamery managers of Blue Earth coun-
ty was held in the board of trade room
at the city hall this AFTERNOON. About
twenty five were in attendance.
L. o. Diederick of Lake Crystal presid-
co, and S. T. Lamos of Amboy was secre-
tary. The former called attention to
the fact that very little interest has
been taken in the organization, and
asked whether it was desired to give it
up or continue.
Sam Haugdahl of st. Peter was pres
emit and advised that the organization be
kept up. He said that similar ones are in
hourishing condition in Faribault, Mar
tin, Steele and Meeker counties, where
monthly meetings are held. He suggest
ed that Watonwan county be asked to
meet with the association. Buttermak-
ers ought to be better judges of butter
than commission men and would if they
could see different samples of butter. He
suggested that a display of butter be
made at each meeting. He favored hold
ing the meetings in the smaller towns.
One member advocated holding pic
mic, as these are very successful in Mar
tin county, and give an opportunity for
all TO get acquainted with each other. He
favored Lake Crystal.
After some discussion, it was decided
to keep up the organization, and also to
have a picnic at Lake Crystal June 4th.

TANKE Indifferent.
He Did Not Extend a Loving Hand to
His Wife.

From Thursdays Daily.
Mrs. Tanke, who is serving a life SEN
tence at Saltwater for her open confess
sion, arrived at st. James Tuesday after
noon, under, custody of Sheriff Forsyth.
She will remain to give testimony in be-
half of her husband.
When seen yesterday, Mrs. Tanke talk
ed freely. Prison life did not work the
hardship she expected; in fact she said
she felt more contented than she had
hoped. She greatly misses her two chill
dren, she said, and her husband, whom
she speaks of with much affection.
She was permitted to visit Tanke last
evening, shortly after six o'clock. Tanke
was in the cell at the time and was not
permitted to come out. The scene was
an effecting one. The man whom she
loved to the extent of assuming the
burden of the crime to save him, is APP
parently without affection for her.
At the meeting last evening Tanke
showed no sign of emotion whatever, re-
manning seated and scarcely raising his
eyes. He did not so much as extend
hand through the iron grating to greet
her. When some one suggested getting
key to unlock the cell he shook his
head.
Mrs. Tanke wept bitterly and returned
to the hotel where she is in custody, dis
and heart-broken.
Shortly afterwards she said, in reply
to a question whether Frank was glad
to see her: "I'm afraid he wasn't

discussion Of the Irish development
grant, in the house of commons, the
Irish secretary, Mr.. Wyndham, in
moving that s925,000 be granted an
nua1ly for development purposes in
Ireland, said a genuine induetrial re-

to announce that Lord Ievagh of Dub

were prepared, in spirit Of patriot
ism and in view of the happier condi-

tai necessary for developing the
transport facilities of the country.

The motion was adopted.

CLAIMS LAW IS ALL RIGHT.
Winona City Attorney Says It Does
Not Need Amending.

City Attorney Daley has received a
letter from the city attorney of Winona
asking that the bill amending the law
which allows cities of 10000 to $4,000 DO
pulation to issue $4,000 electric light
bonds be not pressed in the legislature.
The Winona city attorney believes the
present law valid, and wishes to have the
supreme court pass upon it. He states
that there is d strong lobby at st. Paul
which wishes to defeat any legislation
looking toward the municipal ownership
of public utilities. The present law was
passed with much difficulty.
Brown & Abbott of Winona and Judge
A. G. Beldon of Minneapolis are associat-
ed with the city attorney in the fight for
the city in its attempt to construct an
electric lighting plant. They all believe
that the law is constitutional. This is
the law that Mankato is depending upon
in it's fight with Mr.. Meagher. Winona
made the mistake of changing the spec
ifcation after the contract was award
ed, and will readvertise for bids. This
will put it in better shape for the legal
fight.
Mr.. Daley has forwarded the letter to
the Blue Earth delegation.

PERTAINING TO PEOPLE.

Until few days ago E. w. Dennis of
Sioux City prided himself upon having
finer whiskers than any man of his ac-
quaintance. In an evil moment he be-
gan playing ping-pong with a charming
young woman, who chaffed him into bet
ting his beautiful, hirsute adornment
against her fluttering heart. He is a
crack player, but the girl proved to be
his superior and she ruthlessly demanded
her pound of whiskers. In spite of his
all but fearful pleadings she cut off
the flowing silky beard, strands of which,
tied in bows of ribbon, she distributed
among her friends. There is a vague
rumor that Dennis contemplates going
to Alaska to escape the raillery of ac-
quaintances.
