hausting me, when something white
flashed across the road, striking the
wolf with such force as to knock hiR
from my grasp.
Staggering to my feet, saw the wolf
and old Tige graphing with each other
in deadly combat
AS they rolled about In the road
neither animal seemed to be gaining
any advantage over his opponent, yet
the wolf was so much the more agile
that | feared he would tire out the
dog and escape.
Catching up my rifle from the
ground was about to interfere, when
a voice cried:
"Wait a minute; let 'em fight 1t OUT"
Joe scrambled through the bushes
and stood at my side.
"They said he did 1t, so it's fair
Tige had the first chance at him that
did the killing. Tige's most interested
and next. I'll see he don't get away"
But there was no need of using the
musket. While Joe was speaking the
dog had managed to seize his antag-
onist by the throat, and in moment
or two the struggle was ended.
Joe called off the dog, and carefully
examined the dead wolf. Besides the
marks of Tige's teeth there were
wounds which Joe said must have been
made the night before by the squire's
collie.
We slung the wolf across pole and
carried him from the swamp. A group
of men loitered about the sheep pas
ture among them being the tall figure
of Squire Fenton. They watched us
and our burden with curiosity.
When we were near the spot where
we first discovered the VOLTS track in
the ditch Joe halted and shouted to the
men to come forward.
When they had reached us, he point
ed out the large track made the night
previous in the ditch. Then close to
this track in the soft earth he made an
impression with one Of the VOLTS
paws.
The two feet were exactly alike.
He then called Tige into the ditch.
The dogs tracks was fully a third
smaller than the other two.
Tige was indicated.
The squire opened his pocketbook
and put roll of bank notes into Joe's
hand.
That" said he, sis the fifty dollars
reward which belongs to you" He
hesitated, coughed uneasily, and then
continued: "Mr. Kinney, l fear I've
wronged you, or at least allowed you
to be unjustly suspected. Now. want
a reliable man to take charge of my
live stock, cattle and sheep. l can af-
ford to pay the right person good
wages VIII you take the place."
A flash Of pleasure at this proof Of
confidence lit up the hunters face
"Thank'ee, squire. thank'ee! But
I'm too much Of backwoodsman to
quit hunting and trapping. Howsom-
ever, If l ever do work. it'll be for
you"
With this compliment to the squire,
Joe whistled to his dog and moved
away.

years later, the spirit Of work had not
yet taken possession of the trapper;

So, taking all in all, the outlook is more
encouraging than it has been for years.
:, How to Bound Minneapolis.
Former Mayor David P. Jones of David
p Jones & Co.-"To my mind there are
three important reasons why Minneapolis
is growing and will continue to grow:
"First-Because Of our geographical sit
uation. 1t is difficult to conceive of a
finer location to command and dominate
in the great northwestern country, so rap
idly developing, Following the idea of
my boyish study of geography, let me
bound Minneapolis in a, geogra phica1 way:
ITO the north lies Canada and the Brit
arabic land for agricultural purposes, vast
forests and UNEMPLOYED mineral deposits,
all naturally and necessarily tributary to
the metrOpOlit tan city of the northwest.
'To the west, an imperial realm of ter
ritory to which Minneapolis is the gate
way. ' -
ITO the south, the Mississippi valley
and a river which is the greatest natural
highway of commerce on the American
continent; and we stand at the head Of
the valley and must be counted in with all
commerce that extends from the southern
seaboard to the northwestern country.
."On the east we have cheap transporta-
ton by the great waterway system and
by our own 500 railroad to the Atlantic
| seaboard, making us as independent of
Chicago and Of rail connections to the
east as if Chicago did not exist This is
our commanding situation from geo.
graphical standpoint H,... ----5
"Second-Minneapolis is growing as a
great manufacturing center. We surprise
ourselves when we stop to consider the
great strides this city has made in the
past few years in the development Of our
manufacturing interests. Few Of our cit
| liens are alive to the Importance Of this
comparatively recent development. -Leav-
| ing flour and lumbur out Of account, our
industries, somewhat recently established
are Of commanding Importance; the fact
| Is that Minneapolis cannot be surpassed
as a distributing point and manufacturers
are quick to catch the Importance Of our
location and our splendid facilities for dis
tributing their products by either rail or
water in almost every direction. Manu-
featuring will add more to our population
than any other single feature of our devel-
opment. = !
'Third-If we can judge anything from
what people who see our city and become
familiar with it's special features and at
fractions say of it, it seems plain that
Minneapolis will grow rapidly and in
creasingly because it is a most desirable
place in which to live

"a LAND OF PROMISE

Their Faith in the Citys Future Greatness and All Of

The rapid growth of Minneapolis is as
familiar everywhere as is the city's name.
Measured by standard Of population that
growth now means an annual addition of
from 10000 to 5000 residents.
AS to the causes Of the growth, one fact

The natural conditions that favor the

Climate, as remarkable for its salubrlty as
for it's energizing ozone; the fertile soil Of
the territory round about; even the ad-
Nantageous position with reference to
to Lake Superior, to neighboring states,
and to three seaboards-these natural ad-
vantages are shared by towns that once
were rivals Of Minneapolis.
Clearly, it is not only the Land of
Promise but the Chosen People that has
made this city what it is. The intel
ligence Of the Minneapolitan, his integrity,
his liberality, his enterprise, his public

ceptible, so inevitable, that human agency
has been mistaken for matter of air and
earth.

market and that values will go up to a
very marked degree. The present condi-
ton. however, Is most healthy one as
far as this real estate market is con-
cerned.
"A few reasons, why Minneapolis real
estate should advance are these:
"First-Rents in the city have been in
creasing steadily for three years at not
less than 10 per cent per annum.5
''Second-Not only are all of the manu-
featuring plants which were closed down
following 1898, opened up, but many of
them have been enlarged and new plants
are being put in. Minneapolis is now
turing center. -.
''Third-The railroad situation in Min
neapolis has done great deal to enhance
values Most Of the railroads are ex-
tending or have extended their yards, and
many future improvements are being con-
templated which mean the expenditure OF
large sums Of money and the employment
Of all available labor.
"This is a safe market on which to buy
as 1T must be apparent that there can be
no decline when prices are at bedrock.
Values will have to come up before they
can ever go down again and while we
recognize these as prosperous times, / do
not believe we have reached the top notch
as yet With nearly 10000 miles of rail-
road in this countre in the process of
construction this year, the country itself
is bound to prosper and good crops in the
northwest mean plenty Of money. It
therefore seems to me that nothing but
a crop failure could cause a setback.

Advises New York Unions to Accept

New York, Oct. 13--In letter to the building trades unions of this city and vicinity, made public tonight, Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, and James Dun- can, secretary, have recommended that the unions agree to the plan of arbitra- ton of the Employers association. This action, which comes after MT. Gompers' Investigation of the labor situation in this city, IS considered a defeat for the building trades union which have re- fused to ~'~- +-.n plan of arbitration. It is also recommended that the unions which have signed the agreement insist upon the disbandment of such organ izations which have been instituted re- gently as rivals to the previously exist ing unions of the trade.
 MT. Gompers also recommends that the unions be Ienient with the members of the rival organizations and afford them an opportunity to join the union ranks. Although seeing flaws in the plan of arbitration as submitted by the employers, MT. Gompers approves of it on the whole, particularly in it's elim- ination of the purely sympathetic strikes

It is a suit in which sS5.000 damages are claimed and is an action brought by Edward A. Freeman of Plainville, administrator of the estate of Elisha N Welch, deceased, late of Bristol, against the Bristol Sav- ings bank. Plaintiff claims that the will of Elisha N.

Welch. during the latter's life, and at his decease such trust to terminate, and the property to be held and dispos- ed of as part of the estate of Elisha N. iWelch, deceased, as provided in his last will and testament.
 The trustee was duly appointed and qualified. and received from the execu- tor of the will of Elisha N. Welch, as a part of the property and estate to be held in trust. stocks to the value of $S5,000. Demands for the return of these stocks was made by the plaintiff, but the defendants refused to deliver it.
