ESTATES SETTLED.
Business of One Day in the Probate
Court.

From Fridays Daily.
There was considerable business in the
probate court today. A final decree was
made in the estate of Thore Thorson of
Lincoln. The property consists of forty
acres in Lincoln township, and goes to
the widow during her life time, and up
on her death goes to her daughter, Car
RE Lindsoe, on condition that she pays
the other daughter, Gundhild Schanke,
$500.
The final account was allowed in the
case of the estate of the late Augusta
Weirschstaedt. She left an estate valu-
ed at $500, and this goes to her three
children. The estate is what her heirs
got in the settlement of the affairs of
her husband.
A petition for the appointment of A.
G. Engebritsen as administrator of the
estate of the late Andrew P. Tonstad of
Medo was filed today by the widow. The
hearing was set for April 10th.
Arthur Schaub was appointed guar
dian of the three minor children of John
B. Guenther. This step is taken to
facilitate the sale of some real estate
in which the children have an interest,
it is said.

HEBRON'S AID SOCIETY.

The Gentlemen's Aid society of He
bron Methodist Episcopal church held
very successful oyster supper at the
home of Mr.. Herman Heiser on Tuesday
evening last. Between sixty and seventy
people attended, which was splendid for
rural community, considering the sea-
son and roads. The evening was fine
and Mr.. Heiser's splendid new house
proved an ideal one for such gathering.
A good time was spent and the hope ex-
pressed that the same home may be
available on some future occasion. Quite
number of the friends from Belgrade
were present which fact shows a
friendly interest between the two COM
munities. Come again, Belgrade. The
boys take this opportunity of thanking
Mr.. and Mrs. Heiscr for the use of their
home, as well as those who donated
supplies or in any way helped to make
the supper successful.

TRYING A FRAUD GAME.
Party in North Dakota Is After the
Money.
From Fridays Daily.

FROM rTluay Daly.
Enos Klaus yesterday afternoon was
called up by the central office of the
Northwestern Telephone company. Some
body at DEVILS Lake wanted to deliver
to him an important message. In order
to get this message he had to prepay the
cost of it, 80 cents. This he did and re-
ceived it. Some person at DEVILS Lake
informed him that his sister, Miss Jennie
Klaus, a teacher of country school
about ten miles out from Devils Lake,
having been badly hurt and cared for
for a time at the Mercy hospital, could
be sent on her homeward trip to Man
kato if the amount necessary for the
purchase of a ticket should be wired.
The money was wanted at once so Miss
Klaus could start on the afternoon train
for Mankato.
Who it was that was talking at the
other end of the line, could not be learn
ed 1t could not even be ascertained
whether it was man or woman from
the tone of voice, as the message had to
be repeated on the way. In all likli-
hood, however, it was the same person
or at least confederate of the one who
sent letter to Mrs. M. Klaus of Han
over street, mother of both Enos and
Miss Josephine Klaus, stating that Miss
Klaus had been badly hurt and had been
for some time in the Mercy hospital.
This letter, like the telephone message
asked to have the price of ticket to
Mankato wired that the lady might
start on her homeward journey. This
letter was signed "Sister Josephine"
Mrs. Klaus turned the matter over to
Agent G. R. Bradley of the local Omaha
freight office, with whom she is well ac-
quainted. Mr.. Bradley called up the
hospital and found that Miss Klaus had
not been there, and that there was no
such person as "Sister Josephine" No
money has been wired for ticket.
Mr.. Bradley and the girls mother and
brother are firmly of the opinion that
the whole transaction was simply
scheme the part of some person at
Devils Lake, who knows the Klaus
family, to get ticket to Mankato.
Mr.. Bradley feels sure that nothing
wrong has happened to Miss Klaus. The
family with whom she is staying in the
district near DEVILS Lake know her adj
dress and that of her mother and broth
er; and if any misfortune should befall
the teacher, her relatives at Mankato
would surely hear of it very soon after
wards
More light may be thrown on the sub
ject when Mr.. Bradley obtains an ans
wer to the letter he wrote regarding
the matter to his brother in law, Lucius
Fancher, superintendent of schools of
Ramsey county, N. D., the county in
which Miss Klaus school is located

her face grow pale. He realized with a
pang of sympathy how helpless he
would feel if he were as small as she
and at his utmost height could only
see big, suffocating backs and huge
shoulders pressing down from above.
He was keeping them from crowding
heavily upon her with all his strength,
and a royal feeling of protectiveness
came over him. She was so little. And
yet, without the remotest hint of hard
ness, she gave him such a distinct i'm
preston of poise and equilibrium. She
seemed so able to meet anything that
might come, to understand it-even to
laugh at it-so Americanly capable and
sure of the event that, in spite of her
pale cheek, he could not feel quite so
protective as he wished to feel

eyes with divine gratitude.
