Caught Aesla.


Bud M1ller's resort on Benson ave-
nue. was broken into and raided under
the state law Thursday afternoon by
Sheriff Lundquist on complaints sworn
to by Chief of Police Bonde. Bud
Miller and Victor Nelson were arrested
and the liquors found were seized.
The case of Miller was adjourned to
Oct. 13 and he was given his freedom
on his personal recognizance for $3.50.
Nelson's case was set for next Tuesday,
and he was released in the same way,
his bond being fixed at 5000. Since
his former experience in the hands of
the law the manager of this resort had
promised to be good-while at home
at least. The temptation was great,
however, and last Wednesday small
quantity of liquor was traced to the
place by the police. All the caution
used in retailing the same did not, it
appears, prevent the police from Sc
curing the necessary evidence.

SpaTrinR Match,

The announcements made through
the megaphone on the streets by the
crier OF the street fair Saturday even
ing relating to the proposed prize
fight at the opera house were not au-
thorized by the street fair committee.

that there should be occasid for such

ious that any such impressid be re-
moved. Mr.. Olof Berkness, another
member of the committee, stated that

report in the TRIBUNE. The manager
OF the opera house was also secretary
aud manager of the street fair. The

terested in the opera house attrac-
tions.

District Is Divided,

The Pacific District of the Mime.
sofa Conference was divided at the
mission meeting held at Anuandale,
Lake Mary and Granite Lake in
Wright county during this week. The
action was taken at Granite Lake.
Thus the old historic Pacific district
with It's large membership and large
influence in conference affairs enters
new epoch. It is thought that the
two new districts can do more and
better work in their new compact
shape. The new districts will be
known as East and West Pacific dis.
tricts. The dividing line is east OF
Litchfeld. There were fourteen pas.
tors In the old district, and the divi-
sion leaves seven in each of the new.
The pastors OF the West Pacific dis
trlct are Revs. o. Hallberg of Litch-
field, j. W. Lundgren of Benson, G.
Peterson of Willmar, J. o. Lundberp
OF Svea, G. o. Schoberg of Atwater.
$. A. Lindholm of Tripolis and G. J.
Collin tf New London, the five latter
residing in Kandiyohi county. The
new district was organized by the cleo
tlon OF Rev. Collin as chairman, Rev.
Peterson as vice president, Rev. Hail.
berg as secretary and Rev. Lundgren
as treasurer. The action will have to
be ratified at the next meeting of the
Minnesota Conference of the Swedish
Lutheran Synod.

The Herr Gas Lighting System was
this week installed in the Willmar
Steam Laundry through the agency
OF F. F. Nelson, of this city. The gas
machine will also be used in furnish

to-date establishment and considers
the matter of good lighting as we'll
as convenience in heating not the least
essential in successful business.

Declared Not Danxerous.

John Swanson, who was arraigned
some time ago for having threatened
TO Kill c. j. Carlson, faced his accuser
in Judge Cramer's court on Tuesday
afternoon. Co. Atty. johnson ap-
peared for the state and Samuel Porter
Tor the defendant. The case was to
come up in Judge Otterness' court on
tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock but
defendants attorney asked for q
change of venue to Judge Crsmer's
court and here the case was called at
three O'Clock. Carlson testified that
he was afraid Swanson would carry
out his threats and asked the court
that defendant be placed under bonds
to keep the peace.
Both are farmers in Mamre and
have their lands adjoining, but &C.
cording to the evidence produced, q
constant warfare had been going on
between the two families for several
years. They had not only tested their
Foratorical powers but had also exer-
ei'ed their physical propensitiea upon
each other and Carlson testified that
he had nearly been choked to death
twice by the defendant.
Having heard all the evidence the
court decided that Swanson was not
dangerous and dismissed the case.
