Mayor Hitchcock of Crooks
ton Talks of Politics in
Northern Mimi.
HAS JUST RETURNED FROM AN
EXTENDED TRIP.
Says Dunn's Great Record as.
State Auditor Makes Him
a FayOrite.

Mayor Charles A. Hitchcock of
Crookston was in the city last
evening from Blackjack. Mr..
Hitchcock has just completed a
long trip through Polk, Clear
water and .Beltrami counties,
where he has come IN touch with
all classes and conditions of peo-
pie. Mr.. Hitchcock is not one of
those who believe in hiding their
political opinions under bushel
and he frankly declares that
northern Minnesota is for Dunn
for governor.
SIN our own county of Polk, "
said Mr.. Hitchcock, "..here will
practically be no opposition to
Dunn. I have during the past
two months Travelled through al
most every one of the fifty nine
townships of the county and the
sentiment for the nomination of
Dunn is overwhelming.
In Clearwater and Beltrami
counties [ find the homesteaders
warm friends of the man from
Princeton. When State Auditor
Dunn at the various state land
sales frowned down all attempts,
of which there were many,to buy
up the settlers homesteads. on
technicalities he made the set
tiers of northern Minnesota his
friends forever.
"The people Of this section Of
the state too appreciate very
thoroughly Dunn's great workas
state auditor and there seems to
be very general sentiment that
a man who so thoroughly knows
the state and who has demon
strated his zeal for the interests
of the people as against the great
corporations would be pretty
good man for governor. Eddy is
not regarded as factor in the
contest. [ found some Collins
men but they were only occasion
al and if the choice of a governor
were up to the people in primar
les at this time there can be no
question that Dunn would poll
four fths of the vote of northern
Minnesota.

She states that so far as her re-
gard for him is concerned "the

She demanded that the picture

the matter and there is a proba
bility that there will be some

Printed Account of Ruting

to Probate Court.
RUTING HAD RELATIYESIN GER.
MANY ELIGIBLE AS HEIRS.
American Consul at Berlin VILE
Undertake to Find Them
at Once.

Through the publication Of a
story in the Pioneer a short
time ago regarding the estate Of
Julius Ruting, who formerly re-
sided near Blackjack and left an
estate valued at $4,000 without
heirs apparent friends Of Rat-
ing's have been discovered and
the probabilities are that in a
short time his only living rel
atives, peasant people in Alsace,
Germany, will learn that they
have fallen heir to enough money
to fix them all comfortable in the.
land of stout King William.
Judge of Probate Clark has re-
ceived a letter from a friend Of
Ruting iii St. Paul, who learned
of the circumstances through
the published accounts and who
throws much light on the early
life of Ruting. The friend is
represented by a ST. Paul attor
ney. He knew Ruting and his
relatives when the former was a
young man in Germany many
years ago and served in the Ger
man army with him. He has
notified the court where the rel
atives Of Ruting may be avail
able and the matter will be
placed in the hands of the Amer
lean consul to the German court
through the German consul Of
this country. An Investigation
will result which will no doubt
locate the heirs if any of them
are still living.

STON WOMAN'S VISIT.
Clubs Have Been Trump in the
Game of Hearts With Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred St0b.

Mrs. Fred StOD.
Mrs. Fred Stob, who was at
the Markham hotel this morning
and says that for the brief space
of a year she has been the legally
welded wife of Fred G. Stob,
who until a short time ago was
employed as a boilermaker in the
Great Northern round house at
Crookston, made an interesting
discovery yesterday. 1t was
nothing less than the portrait OF
her husband adjoining the parlor
of a woman who lives a short dis
lance from this city, who was in
innate with Stob, before he knew
his wife and who Mrs. Stob does
not hesitate to say did not allow
the ties of sacred matrimony to
keep her from holding him in
much higher regard and intimacy
than is meet under the circum-
stances.
Mrs. Stob is a handsome
woman of perhaps twenty-eight
years, who says she formerly re-
sided at Springfield, Illinois,
where she met Stob about year
ago and where the two we're mar
ried. The couple have never got
ten on we'll together and if every
thing Mrs. Stob says is true she
has been much abused woman.
A short time ago she came to
Crookston to live with her hus
band, but he tainted her with
stories of his affection for other
women aud made her life so un-
bearable that she finally left him.
The couple had been stopping at
the Monterey hotel in Crookston
and after they had lived apart
for a few days Stob went back
to his wife and attempted to ar
range an amicable adjustment of
Of the differences existing be
tween them. He told her that if
she didn't want to live with him
he had a home in Bemidji that he
might always call his own and
that the caresses Of woman
here who is the wife of another
where always his when he so de-
sired. Then there were harsh
words all around, and Stob gave
his wife a beating OH the street
so severe that she fell uncon-
scious into the arms of another
woman. He then made his es-
cape. He went to the round
house, told the night foreman
that he had whipped his wife and
that he had decided to get out Of
town. Since that time he has
not been seen.
After the trouble Mrs. Stob
gat her down to the apartments
the pair had formerly occupied
and then and there began an in
vestigation of the Stob effects
that revealed all sorts of things
not the least of which we're a
number Of letters signed by a
married woman from this city.
They were in the billing, cooling
tone of midsummer night, the
knee deep in June sort that are
not calculated to be read by a
mans wife under any circum-
stances. Mrs. Stob decided that
she would come to this city and
perhaps find her husband here
and that she would prosecute
both him and the woman who
had written him the letters.
Yesterday afternoon she went

After Noah was commanded TO

band of Jack Parrots that have

rain there wouldn't be much of a

he didn't believe Noah was build
ing airy ark, it was just some kind
of a swindle.
Another turkey buzzard opened
his face and allowed that he
wouldn't ride in no ark, and he
just warned his friends to keep out
of that air ark or they would lose
their money.

ways. Whenever there happens

craftily and stealthily, not by di-
rect action but by suggestion; the
crawling lizards, who give you
friendly look and then eject their
poisonous venom in your back,
the blatant frog, who keeps up his
perpetual lookout! lookout"

there are not more of these YER
min. Had they had their way then

terprises of any kind OF descrip-

Washington, ID. @. April A.
That the zinc industry OF the Uni

large pre- portions admits of little
doubt. Since 1878, using the fig
ures as compiled by the United

sis of computation, the total pro-

These figures do not represent
