Judicial Dignity Maintained.

A certain squire of the city, who
betrays his patriotism by presiding in
a small Office painted red, white and
blue, and located along the Panhandle
tracks, had case before him the other
day Which attracted an unusual crowd

Before the case opened the noise
and confusion became SO great that
his honor declared that the next man
to indulge in any unusual outbreak
would be elected from the room. He
had hardly ceased speaking when a
young man shouted, at the same time
waving his hat above his head:
''Horray fur Squire Hooliagn!'
PUT him out,'' roared the court,
and in another instant the young man
found himself being rushed to the
door. Order having been restored
once morej his honor ordered that the
prisoner be brought before the bar for
trial. The court officer hurriedly
glanced about through the crowd and
then great light suddenly fell upon
him. i

LOST AND FROZEN.
Andrew Anderson of Orrock Lost in
Woods and Was Nearly Fro =.
zen to Death.
Wandered About all Night and Was
Crawling on Hands and Knees
When Found.

Last Saturday afternoon Andrew
Anderson who lives down near Orrock
was found crawling around in the
woods about three or four miles from
his house. He was discovered bv a
boy who was out hunting and at first
he thought that the man was a wolf
and he came nearly shooting at him
before he discovered that the object
was human being. Anderson, who
is nearly seventy-six years of age,
and who is feeble minded, started
away from his home Friday morning
and told his folks that he would walk
to the Craig store, and if he did not
return in the evening not to worry
about him as he would stop at some
of the neighbors for the night. He
did not return in the evening, but his
folks supposed that he was at one of
the neighbors and did not feel in the
least alarmed. But in place of stop
ping at one of the neighbors the old
man was doomed to wander about in
the woods throughout the cold night.
and when discovered he had became
so exhausted that he could just crawl
around on his hands and knees, and
was badly frozen and could not have
lived much longer.
After he had gone some distance
from the house he became numb from
cold and also bewildered and he wan
dered off the road and into the woods
where no one would be likely to run
across him. When brought to his
home it was found that his feet and
hands and parts of his legs were badly
frozen. DR.. Cooney was called and
did what he could to relieve the poor
man of his suffering, but there is lit
tie chance of his recovery as he is so
old and feeble. No attempt was made
to bring him to the hospital at pres
emit as he could not stand the trip. If
he should get along and reach a con-
dition where he could stand an opera
ton he will be brought to the North
weston hospital and treated.
He.has large. family and among
his daughters are Mrs. Louis Hen
schel and Mrs: DeGarles of Brickton,
and he has three daughters who are
working at homes in Princeton.
Anderson was the man who last fall
while driving home from Zimmerman
drove his team into swamp and lost
the horses. At that time he came very
nearly losing his life.

THE GOVERNORSHIP.

Governor Van SAINT has stated his
position clearly. He is not and will
not be a candidate for denomination
as governor at any time or under
any condition. = This lis about as
hat-footed and emphatic a statement
as could be made, and it confirms the
announcement by Private Secretary
Jamison several weeks ago, about the
date that Judge Collins announced
his candidacy. There were some who
doubted the correctness of Mr.. Jami.
sons statement and declared that the
governor, on his return from the East,
might repudiate it. The return of the
governor was therefore awaited with
interest. Now that he has definitely
taken himself out of the race. what
will the administration forces do:
Will they support Judge Collins can
didacy or will they trot out another
candidate: The judges candidacy
has not aroused much enthusiasm.
He has been candidate for governor
several times. but was always careful
to hold on to the judgeship and con.
sequently did not cut much figure il
the conventions. It is said that he
will resign about Jan. l. but he has
not stated so himself and there is ne
certainty about it. If he can get the
united support of the Van SAINT Office
holders he may take courage and re-
sign and ma Ike vigorous fight fol-
the governorship. AS long as he
maintains his present attitude be will

DULUTH FOR DUNN.
The Zenith City Will be for the
Princeton Man From Start
to Finish.
Not Only the Leaders but the Plain
Common People Are With
Dunn.

Extract from a letter written by a
Duluth hackman to r. c.: Dunn
Am glad that the leaders here are
friendly to you. But your best and
truest friends are to be found among
the laboring classes.''
Annexed hereto are editorials from
the Duluth News-Tribune of the 9Th
inst, and the Duluth Herald of the 9Th
inst:
OVERWHELMINGLY FOR DUNN.
The definite refusal of Gov. Van
SAINT to be a candidate, active or re.
ceptive, for a third term, has natur.
ally simplified the contest for the Re,
publican nomination for governor.
The situation in this community has
now crystallized. For a long time
the general sentiment of St. Louis
county Republicans has favored the
nomination of Robert c.. Dunn. Now
that sentiment is practically unit for
him. Any other candidacy is among
the practicable impossibilities.
Mr.. Dunn has performed notable
services for the Republican party
and, in the forty live years of Mime
sofa history, there are few records
of State officials that stand in the
same class with his two terms as aud
itor. In his official dealings with St.
Louis county he has been found singu-
larry capable, as we'll as fair. No
doubt his record throughout the State
is that of an official who stood for the
public interests, while doing justice
to individuals. There is no doubt that
he is an administrator of exceptional
ability, who has left the impress of his
mind on the whole auditing system OF
the State of Minnesota.
Mr.. Dunn has also the faculty which
perceives the necessity OF improved
legislation and of framing it. The
board of control measure owes much
to his initiative and advice. It is the
most important statute dealing with
State institutions that has been passed
by the Minnesota Legislature in de-
cades, though the symmetry of the
bill may have been somewhat married
by amendment. This system was
strongly urged by Auditor Dunn in
his annual report two years ago. It
is here to stay; and it is reasonable
to expect that four years of executive
direction by the man who first brought
it prominently to public attention will
improve it greatly.
The Republicans of St. Louis county
are overwhelmingly for Dunn.-Du-
luth News-Tribune.

ST. PAUL MAN is HURT
FATALLY IN MONTANA
M. S. lamar Sr. Falls Down Stairs and
Fractures His Skull.

A special from Great Falls, Mont,
says that Moses Scott lamar ST., of St.
Paul, who was in that city visiting his
daughter, Mrs. f. H. Kellar, met with
a fatal accident Tuesday night by fall
ing twelve feet from a stair landing
and striking on his head.
Mr.. lamar, who is an old resident Of
Merriam Park, left a position as as
sistant cashier at the Minnesota Trans
fer two months ago and recently went
to Great Falls to visit his daughter.
His son, Moses S. lamar Jr., is chief
clerk in the Office of the state grain in
spector, and has been identified with
the Democratic party for several years.
The special from Great Falls says:
He had gone from the home of his
daughter, on Tenth street north, to a
small grocery store to secure a bottle
of ketchup. The store had been closed
and he entered by the side entrance, by
the side of which is a stairway leading
to the cellar The night was very dark
and in leaving the store, instead of
walking far enough to reach the walk
leading to the street, he walked into
the opening to the basement. He fell a
distance of about twelve feet, striking
his head upon the steps and fracturing
his skull in two places.
"He is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. F. H. Kellar, of this city, and Mrs
A. c. Pratt, of Canyon Ferry. He also
leaves two sons, Henry, living in this
city, and one in ST. Paul.

is SURE HIS
WIFE KIDNAPPED
Their BOY
Lawrence Yeager, of st. Pc
ter, Suspects That His
Ten Year-Old Son Is Sc
creted in House of a West
Side Citizen.

Lawrence Yeager, farmer living
near st. Peter, applied to the county
attorney yesterday for a search war;
rant for the home of Charles Walters,
who lives on the West side, declaring
that his ten-year=old boy was being
held captive there.
Yeager says that two weeks ago his
wife left him and took with her their
son, and after a search lasting more
than week, he learned that they had
come to st. Paul
Yeager came here Tuesday, and
from a woman on Iglehart street,
whom he knew to be acquainted with
his wife, he learned that the woman
and boy were at the home of Walters
on the West sidel When he went to
the Walters home, he says, he was
cursed and not allowed to go inside
the house.
This act strengthened his suspicion
that his wife and son were in the house
and he applied to the police for aid
BY the police he was told to go to the
county attorney, and yesterday he told
Assistant County Attorney O'Neill that
he would not give up the search for
his son if it cost him his farm. The
woman could go if she wanted to, he
said, but he would have the boy.
She stole the boy and left me one
day when / was at the home of a
neighbour and l have hunted for them
ever SINCE" said Yeager. Eat first 1
was told that the boy had been placed
in an orphans home, and when I in
vestigated the report l learned it was
a lie, and was told only to deceive
me. When I went to Walters home
and demanded to know if my wife and
son were there, he abused me and
would not allow me to see inside the
door. I am positive they are being
kept there in hiding, and that is what
l want a search warrant for.
Carries Out Her Threat.
81 never did get along with my wife
and she has often threatened to leave
me and take the boy with her. For
months 1 have guarded the boy and
hardly ever let him out of my sight,
but two weeks ago 1 went away from
the house for a short time, and when
[ returned she was gone. Since then
have searched Sioux City, Mime
apolis and st. Paul for them, and yes
terday I learned that they had been
here several days"
Assistant County Attorney O'Neill
told Yeager that he could not give him
a search warrant, but advised him
first to learn if the boy was at the
habeas corpus. Yeager left the Of
fee much disappointed, but declared
he would get the boy if he had to
force his way into the home and carry
him off.
Il know he is being kept against his
will, as his mother never treated him
well, and be has always cared more for
me than his mother"
Yeager is a prosperous-loo man
of forty, but when he talked of his son
he became almoStsfrantic,, and his ac-
tons were such. that the attaches of
the office thought him insane.

CUPID MAKES A
GRIEVOUS ERROR
Mrs. Kainz's Complaint Dem
Onstrates That Her Mar
riage Was a Failure.

Cupid certainly had the wrong bunch
when he toyed with the hearts of Mi
chael Kainz and the young mowan who
became his wife at Eau Claire Wis.,
some five years ago. The pranks of
Cupid resulted in a June wedding fol-
lowed by two years of domestic night
mare, and finally desertion on the part
of the husband. Now Mrs. Kainz
wants divorce, and if there was any,
thing she forgot to charge her husband
with in the complaint filed yesterday,
it was not noticeable upon a close in
spection of the document
Aside from few ordinary things,
like a systematic course of ill-treat-
ment, continual scolding and fault
finding, the calling of vile names and
making her work when she was physi-
cally unable, Mrs. Kainz, who is now
twentysix years old, says her hus-
band compelled her, during the win
ter of 1899, to sleep in the kitchen and
arise at 4 o'clock every morning to
build a fire SO that the house would be
warm when he was ready to get up for
breakfast. He also, she says, refused
to provide the necessities of life, choked
and kicked her, and threatened her
life. On one occasion, she declares, he
assaulted her in such a vicious manner
that she was compelled to call neigh
bors to her assistance, fearing she
would be killed.
On Easter Sunday, she alleges, when
she remarked that she would like new
Easter bonnet, her husband became en-
ragged and threatened to throw her
down and step on her, and on the night
of Feb. Is, of the same year, he forci-
bly, elected her from the house and
compelled her to remain out in the bit
ter cold, clad only in her night gown.
On this occasion she almost froze her
feet, and contracted a severe cold The
defendant is also accused of sitting
about the house in idleness and refus-
ing to assist the plaintiff in lifting the
heavy tubs of water when she was do
Ing the family washing
Two days after her child was born,
she says, he kicked her out of bed
and ordered her to do the homework,
although she was too weak to stand on
her feet.
The happiest day Of all for the plain
tiff came in July, 1900, when the de-
PENDANT deserted her and left for parts
unknown. She says he is now living
with another woman, with whom he
correspondent frequently during the
time the plaintiff lived with him as his
wife.
Mrs. Kainz says she supported her
self before her husband left her, and
she now wants a divorce and any far
Their relief the court may grant her.

FATHER FOUGHT
IN WAR OF rs
John Wesley Crazy, an Ac-
tual Revolutionary Son,
Dies at Age Of IS.

John Wesley Crary, a pioneer of Min
nesota and New York state, died at the
age of ninety-five, Tuesday evening at
the home of his son, DR.. w. H. Crary,
in the Seville flats, on Mackubin street.

known mill builder, having built what
were at that time the largest mills in
the United States and Canada.
He was a member of the Sons of the
Revolution and was one of the two sur
vivors in st. Paul, whose fathers
fought in the war of "'76." He was
also prominent member of the Cen
