& Jess Jenkins, Harry Whitney and Glen
Iartel have been bound over to the grand
jury on a charge of assault, preferred by
Alice Stewart Of Rice Lake: Their hear
ing will take place at the September term
of court at Barron.
District Attorney Soderberg has com
menced an investigation of the death of
the unknown man, whose body was found
badly mangied on the 500 track just west
of Turtle Lake, May 20. 1t has leaked out
that the stranger became involved in a
quarrel in a saloon in Turtle Lake and
was run out Of town by the village mar
shall. Many suspect foul play, as the man
had some money when last seen in town,
but when his corpse was found there was
not a cent or anything upon his person
that would lead to his identity.
He had light: hair Of a reddish hue,
smooth face, a scar upon his chin extend
ing along the jaw and a. tatooed cross up
on his left arm. He wore a dark coat
with light stripes, blue pants with white
stripes, a, black vest, good shoes, a black
SLOUGH hat and a knit undershirt, with no
overshirt.

TWO OPERATIONS
First You Must Cure the Grip, Then
Danish It's After Effects.

IT was worse after the grip had gone
than 1 was when had it, says Mr.. j.

tan hotel, at No lis South Madison ave-
nue., Peoria, Ill. Many others who are
still suffering from the effects Of an at
tack of the grip will appreciate the state

ease left me in bad shape. had night
sweats, sleep did not refresh me, could
not eat, grew weak and had severe chills.
Then, worst Of all, rheumatism set In
and nearly crippled me.

medicine that only made me worse, / be-
gan taking DR.: Williams Pink Pulls for
Pale People. Then I began to improve
and by the time six boxes were taken I
was we'll and strong again. Since then
have always kept DR.. Williams Pink
Pills on hand and my family has takenl
them at various times, always with good
results
After every attack of grip the health is
shattered-the blood becomes poor. the
flesh falls away, the sufferer grows irri-i
table, and even slight exertton causes
shortness of breath These are dangerous
symptoms and indicate that the system!
is in state that invites pneumonia, bron-
chitis or even consumption. A specific,
however, has been found which not only
will quickly restore the health after an att
tack of the grip and expel the lingering
germs but, working through, the blood,
will render the system proof against the
disease. In hundreds OF cases it has been
shown that DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People have accomplished this result.
The power OF these pills in the vast num-
Der Of diseases due to impure blood or to-
arrangements Of the system, has been
demonstrated in thousands OF instances.
No one who Is suffering can rightfully ne
elect this way to restore health.

working on a sewer contract at atprivate
residence, William Pringle. well known
500 contractor, was the victim Of sing
ular occurrence that came near resulting
fatally. He was smoking a cigar and
laid it for the time being on a nearby sill.
A short time later he picked up the cigar
and resumed his smoke Soon he began
to feel dizzy and sick and started for his
home, which he just managed to reach
before falling over and becoming uncon-

detected evidence of poisoning and only
after several hours, hard work was he
able: to save the patient, who was I'M
conscious from 2 in, the afternoon until
g. the next mornings e9., z z
Investigation developed that the sill on
which the cigar HAD been5laid was strewn,
with rough on rats, and that enough of
the poison had been swallowed by Pringe
to kill him but for sthe work of the
physician.

out for protection. In the meantime
Montgomery was spirited out Of the back
door of the Jail to an awaiting train.
AS he stepped aboard wit hthe sheriff
the mob which was being held at bay in

he missed his footing, or was thrown by
the horse. and was crushed and bruised in

WHAT THE ANCHOR BROUGHT UP
Curious Find Made by John g. Fraser, 8
Grand Rapids Lumberman.

Z. . /. & /. r.. = + /. + -.
GRAND RAPIDS, MINN.-John G. Fra
ser, prominent lumberman Of Grand
Rapids, while engaged in towing a raft Of
logs across Pokegama lake lately, made
most curious find. The anchor which is
used in towing the great booms had been
dropped into over 200 feet Of water, and
when 1t was raised to the surface by the
windlass it brought an immense pair of
elk horns, and also a very large pair of
deer's antlers entangled in the fiukes.
In the memory of the Oldest inhabitant
there have been no elk in this country
and from the best information, that can
be obtained from Indians it is at least
fifty years since they have known Of any.
How the horns could have gotten there Is
a mystery, and how long they may have
lain at the bottom Of the lake is another.
The elk horns measured seven feet from
butt to tip and were four and a half feet
in spread. Mr.. Fraser brought the tro-
plies home, and would not take any price
for them.

Wadena, Mimi, June 6.-Word was re-
ceived in this city yesterday to the effect
that all but two of the business men of
Parkers Prairie had decided to move to
the new townsite made by the entrance
of the 500 line. The new station will be
located about half a mile from the old.
town, and there has been much agitation
over the question of moving there At:
one time all of the business men signed
an agreement not to move !.
This will virtually settle the controversy
between the two rival sites, as the old
town will practically be abandoned for
business purposes. Judge w. A. Lancas-
ter and Isaac Hazlett of Minneapolis are
the principal owners of the new townsite,
and they seem to have scored a victory.
DR.. H. Thomas was found guilty in dis
trict court yesterday of having criminal
relations with his neice, a 13-year- old
girl, and Judge Baxter sentenced him to
eight years at Saltwater. The doctor is
a morphine field, and his friends lay his
predicament to that drug. He is about
so years of age. and is a resident of
Menahga. His wife was loyal to him
thruout the trouble, and the result of
the trial visiby affected her, altho the
doctor himself showed no emotion when
the verdict of the jury was announced.
