STATE WILL LOSE
ON FARMERS LOAN
Advanced $500 in Hard Times, Which
Can't Be Collected.

Minnesota now stands to lose $1,000,
which was loaned from the state funds
to Stevens county ten years ago for the
purchase of seed wheat for farmers
who were in need of help because of
poor crops. The county declines to pay,
taking the ground that the law author
ling the loan was unconstitutional.
In 1893, and from that to 1895, the
legislature authorized the state gov
eminent to loan money to farmers for
the purchase of seed grain; the crops
of the preceding years having been so
poor as to make such action a neces-
sity. Under the provisions of this law
the money was loaned to the counties
and by them to the individual farmers
and bonds were furnished by the coun-
ties to the state for the payment of the
money. The amounts have been taxed
against the farmers who secured the
loans, but Stevens county still owes
$1,000 and the state auditor has re-
peatedly asked the county auditor to
tax the farmers to take up the bonds,
but without success, and County At
torney Bicknen says collection cannot
be made.

Two Boys and a Loaded Revolt
yer Explain Accident Be-
falling Mike Deiles.


Mike Delles, ten years old, living with
his parents at 81 Phalen creek, was
shot in the mouth yesterday afternoon
at o'clock by his cousin. Helmer
Bennett, aged eleven years. The shoot
ing is said to have been entirely acct
dental, and is said to have occurred
while the Bennett boy was examining
a 32-caliber revolver as he was stand
ing facing his cousin.
The bullet struck Mike Delles in the
lower lip, tore out two lower front
teeth, entering the tip of the tongue,
blowing two. inches and lodging in its
root. Owing to the peculiar position of
the bullet, DR.. Charles H. Ball, who at
tended the boy, says that it will be ex-
tremely difficult to extract it, and that
if no Inflammation sets in it might be
possible to allow it to remain.
The injured boy suffered considerable
pain and anxiety on account of the
wound, but DR.. Ball says that he is in
no danger unless complications set in.
The police made an investiga ton of
the shooting last night, but the parents
Of tn Delles boy say that the affair
was a pure accident, and that they do
not want the Bennett boy prosecuted.

MILLIONAIRE
MANUFACTURER
is MURDERED
Thomas r. Morgan of Oshkosh
Is Shot by an EmpIoye Who
Hangs Himself in the City
Lookup The Murder Was
Without Provocation.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Aug. 18.-Thomas
r. Morgan, alderman of tlfe Seventh
ward and millionaire president of the
Morgan company, sash, door and blind
manufacturers, YVES fatally shot today
by one of the employees of the company,
Fred Hampel, a laborer in the lumber
yard from the result of which Mr..
Morgan died in half an hour. His muir
derer committed suicide by hanging
himself with his suspenderS in the city
lookup. The shooting was without
provocation. The wounded man walk
ed unassisted from the scene of the
shooting on Fifth street to his Office,
at Oregon and Sixth streets, and the
ambulance was called. He was taken
at once, to st. Mary's hospital, but died
just before the hospital was reached.
Employees of the company are frenzied
with anger. The police were notified
that lynching was contemplated and
they took extra precautions to prevent
such a tragedy.
The shooting was witnessed by sew
eral people John RoYlands, slasher
in the employ of the Morgan company,
who was with Mr.. Morgan at the time,
said:
II was walking down Fifth street
along the railroad track in the yards
when / met Mr.. Morgan. He and l
stopped to talk a minute or two about
some lumber when Hampel came up
where We were. He seemed to be
frenzied with liquor Judging from his
appearance. He said nothing but look
ed at US steadily. Mr.. Morgan knew
that he had been away from work ana
was drunk, and without waxing for
Hampel to speak he said to him.
Fred, l have no time I'D talk to you
this morning"
HE turned toward Sixth street and
Hampel replied: Well, will talk to
you later
Then the first thing 1 knew, there
was shot which seemed to be right
in my ear. Just at that moment Mr..
Morgan cried out with pain. He STUN
bled and turned around and there was
Hampel blazing away. 1 grappled with
him, my left hand graspirrg his hand
with the gun and my right at his
throat.
4 think two more shots were fired
that went wild, but whether they were
before or after l took hold of him I
cannot say. While we were graphing
we fell and was under. I released my
hold on his throat and with both hands
grabbed his hand with the gun. Then
John Morgan, another employee came
up and rolled HampeI off me- 1 had
hold of the gun and jerked it away
from Hampel.
In the meantime Mr.. Morgan,
though mol tally wounded, had run to
the office several hundred feet away
Then others came to our assistance and
Ofhcer Meyer came up and placed
Hampel under arrest There was no
occasion for the shooting so far as 1
know. Hampel was one of the en-
pioyes of the company and had not
been discharged. So far as l know he
never had any words with Mr.. Morgan
before then and I cannot say what
caused him to do such a thing"

throat. The body was partly stripped of
clothing. The abdomen was stripped open,
and the left wrist was nearly severed.
The thighs also had long cuts in them.
Alphonse had been missing from his

that the murder was not committed near

there is scarcely drop of blood left in
the body, there was practically no blood

We're only a few small stains on the body
