Heir to $4,000, ,0oo.;:
Mrs. Peter Nelson Of Worthin9,
ton, One Of the Heirs.

Mrs. Peter Nelson received a let
! ter a short time ago from her moth
: or at Ke vaune, illinois, stating thai
her father had fallen heir to $8OU
600 through an Uncle WIN had dice
in Australia and left fortune oi
four million dollars to his nephewe
and nieses. namely, John, Adam.
and James Mickle, Anna Mickle and
a married sister, Mrs. Olson, all liv-
ing in Illinois, except Adam. Mrs.
Nelson was told that she, would re-
oeive one hundred Thousand dollars
from her father.
A report from Des Moines, Iowa,
to the Inter Ocean, Chivago, under
date of Dec. 1S. 1908, says. "After a
life of labor az a humble b ,stler in a
livery barn, Adam MicKle of .Spenc-
or, Iowa, is to receive $4,o0O,Oo He
is a native of Scotland and is better
known at Spencer az ''Scotty."
His average income for the past
five years has been $'5 a month an
board. Several months ago a loeal
banker at Spencer read an item in
some newspaper stating that a
wealthy Australian had died with
out relat;ves, and that the estate
was about to revert to the crown.
The name of the man. Mickle, re-
minded, the banker of the fact that
:'Scotty" had spoken "t some 1netu-
bers IF his family having gone to
Australia WREN he came to this
counry, since. which time he had lost
all track OF them. The banker ac-
cordingly wrote the authorities in
Australia and established '''Scotty's'' .
right to the estate.
Mr.. Nelson lives on Mr.. Shells
farm east of town. He is a lard
working and industrious man of
good character and habits. The fam
lily, naturally feel very much elated
over their fortune which they think,
from what Mrs. Mickle writes, there
is no doubt but what they will OBJ
tain it, At the present time they
are undecided as to what they will
do when the money is received.
Their friends sincerity hope they
will receive 1t. ---.s5

An Athletic Party.
Coach Kies Remembered for Ills
Services During 1908. Fg

Monday morning an athletic rail-
ly was held at the high school in.
>commemoration of the football sea-
son which was very successful. The
opening OF the meeting was q song
by the entire High School followed
by an instrumental duet by Misses
Town and Coughran which waswall
rendered and thoroughly enjoyed 81.
Prof. Nicholas then made an ad-
dress in which he showed the value
of athletics in a school and also the
rise of athletics in high schools. He
closed his address by few remarks
about the necessity of having .,
coach for a football team and said
that the team Of 'O3 was to be con-
graduated upon securing such val
liable coach as MI. J. j. Kies. Mr..
Nicholas then presented Mr.. Kies
with a handsome travelling case
which he said was small token
given by the association in appreci-
alton of the services which Mr.. Kiee
had performed for our 'O3 team. a
Mr.. Kies responded with short
speech, thanking the association. He
stated that the enthusiasm which
was present this fall was'iue mainly
to the efforts of Supt Nich'la- Mr..
Kies stated that the main difficulty
IN football matters in previous years,
had been the lack of material. They
hope to overcome tins difficulty next
fall by training and breaking. in q
second team. "'' Il.
TIE high school yell was next par
ticipated in. under the leadership at
Mr.. Nicholas. The high school quar-.
tot then rendered a football song

liam sending a few letters around
to see if we can help Billy. I have
been here twelve days; it is the sad
dest case I have ever wi5eessed, and
what have had to hear is some
thing shocking. Don't read foolish
books, they do one much harm. She
certainly tried. to live them out IN
her life here. This trouble began
soon after they went to work ons q
farm, the man was single and she
tried to catch him. Billy remon
strated with her and she told him
she was not not going to live Win
him, ,she had found better Then he
begged her to come to the farm and
she would not. He begged her to
give him the children and he would
leave her alone, but she would not.
He askedto take them to illinois,
she said You fool you take care of
them? not much I can make them
better living than you can.' Just
the words she said to me when l
saw her. You can't think what she
said. / had to tell her never to come
to my house with that man. did
not know that she had begun d.
vorce proceedings. She told me
very bad stories, poor boy, his heart
is broken and he looks as though he
never had a friend. The Justice has
applied for a guardian for the child
rem. He is much to blame, he en-
courged her to leave Billy. This
evening she showed things she had
received from other fellows. She
said to Billy, Il tell you 1 am going
to marry Billy Waugh and you can
be my best man. The day after
when the children were at neigh
bors the Justice came in and brought
them candy. The children We're
asked do you know this man?' Jen-
ME replied lie often comes to our
house and sometimes sleeps in bed
with mama They have tried to
poison the little minds against their |
father. Where he worked they are
hoping he will nave his freedom
again. The lawyer handling the
case has but $25 from the county. |
He asked me to see what I could do
in raising a little money for him

II ever he was in need now is the
time to do good. What we do must
be done at once. have spent all l
have in keeping the children. If
Billy's life is spared he will make
his home with me. Think the trial
will be in about three weeks. Please
do something for Him.
This is truly a pit1ful case. We
ask the indulgence of our readers
for portion of the letter, but give
it to show what the innocent child
rem have noticed in their misguided
and unfortunate mother. There is
some talk of endveaoring to raise
fund here for Mr.. Graves assistance.
If the movement is carried out and
the amount raised it would serve to
assist the unfortunate man and en-
him with the thought that
there we're some friends standing by
him yet.

BusiIy Engaged in Building Boats
and Automobiles. / Z,

W. l. Carpenter, line man for C.J:
Smallwood has been putting into
actual service some of bis inventive
and constructive genius ability.
While, at Sioux Falls he designed
and constructed gasoline engine
and dynamo, both of which have
been in active service. ..
This winter he has planned and
constructed a gasoline yacht, Of his
own idea.l The boat is about Cum
plete,, It's length is eighteen feet
over all with five foot beam and will
easily accommodate ten passengers.
1t is equipped with gasoline en-
gine. The boat is symetrical in de-
sign substantially made Of the best
material available, with polished
brass trimmings and when painted
will be attractive and useful. Mr..
Carpenter can feel very proud fhis
success.
We have in our midst another in
ventor, designer and constructor of
vehicles. Frank Saxon. A few years
ago Mr.. Saxon invented and perfect
ed a diferential gear for traction
threshing engines which is used
quite extensively. He reduced the
same pattern, in size for automobiles
and it has also been put into use:
Since the first model was put in SER
vice ne has improved on it and now
has another nearly completed. He
is also constructing an automobile
according to his ideal, and some of
the parts which can be purchased,
have been ordered and are eApect d
to reach here every day. He expects
to have his machine completed and
running during the coming summer.
By the above it will be seen that
orthington is not behind any OF
tn , towns and ahead Of many in the
inventive line. It would be no
trouble at all to get a boat and auto
mobile factory started here if there
was available capital.

Mrs. Krause on Trial..

Preliminary Hearing Held Non
day Before Justice Dow. /, I
The preliminary hearing Of Mrs.
Krause who is supposed to know
something about the death Of her
husband was commenced before
Justice Dow, Monday afternoon. It
was held in the Office of r. L.Humis-
ton, clerk Of court. Attorney Jones
tassisted by ia. Town for the state.
Attorney Knox of Jackson, assisted
BY e. NJ. Crandall for the defense,
Miss Walters stenographer. There
was fully one hundred spectators.
Owing to this being a case of
much Importance and by the request
Of the State it is deemed advisable
not to give the testimony of the wit
nes:es, as, all who read it would be
disqualified as jurors in the event
:0f a trial in the district court. If
jurors drawn were disqualified from
serving on this account it would
cost the county large amount of
money to secure competent jurors,
hence we think it would be better
for all concerned not to give the
testimony at this time.
The taking Of testimony in the
preliminary hearing of the Krause
murder case was concluded aoout
six o'clock Monday evening. She
was committed to the county Jail to
wait the action Of the Grand Jury.
The charge is not one for which
bonds can be accepted.
