Several Ortonville people will
rememb Der man giving his name
as Edwin S. Porter, who with his
wife spent some time in this city
a year ago last summer. Mrs.
Porter was apparently a most
estimable lady, but Edwin S.
seems to have been a bad egg
all around. While making his
headquarters here Porter was
arrested at Vermillion, So. Dak..
for swindling, but before his
trial came off he managed to
break jail and disappeared. Mrs.
Porter, after satisfying herself
that her husband was a crook,
went to friends in the east. Re-
Gently Porter was arrested at
Fergus Falls under the name OF
Penrose, charged with swindling
and seduction, he having induced
Miss Anderson to go with him
on a promise of marriage. Por-
ter's trial occurred last week and
he was promptly CONVICTED and
sentenced to five years in states
prison. n.-Ortonville Herald Star.

The founder OF the American
navy, John Paul Jon es, one of
the most splendid figures in
American history, is likely to
receive attention at the hands
of congress. Representative
Sheppard, of Texas, has intro

the state department to submit
plan for the erection Of a
monument over the grave OF
this naval hero. The resolution

the great struggle for independ-
ence, breathed purer or more
exalted patriotism, nor brought
greater ability or genius to the
councils of the young republic.
