Three Years of Guard Service.

On April 10Th the terms of enlistment
of nineteen members of Company G.
will expire. It will be three years
since the company was organized and
mustered in as a part of the ma
tional guards. Since that time sew
eral of the original members of the
company have dropped out of service
for various reasons. Those whose
terms of enlistment will expire are
Sergeants Williams, Johnson, Boyn,
Sellhorn, King and Schimming: Cor
porals Tritch, Marshall and Pratt:
Privates Anderson, Boyn, Cordiner,
Jones, Jesmer, Reinhart Manke, Pal
mer, Rockstad, Sleeves and Thomp-
son. In all probability most of the
members will re-list as in order to
get credit for continuous service they
will be compelled to do so. There are
rewards in the shape of medals that
await those who have to their credit a
long and honorable national guard
service.

THE COUNTY BONDS.
Last Court House Bond Natures in July

Last Court House Bond Natures in July
r.. r. Bonds Mature in 1906.
1t will not be such very long time
before Mile Laos county will wipe out
all its railroad and court house bonds.
for which the tax payers of the county
have been contributing taxes a good
many years. The last court house
bond will mature in July of this year,
and there will be no further levies
made for this purpose. The county
was bonded for $4,000 for the con
struction of it's court house.
In 1906 the railroad bonds will all
be paid. These bonds originally
amounted to $4,000 In 1898 an east
ern party who held $4,000 of these
bonds accepted payment from the
county for the same, and by taking
them up and cancelling them the
county saved $1,000 in interest, as the
bonds drew five per cent interest,
amounting to $3.50 a year. Henry c..
Fridley owns most of the remainder OF
the bonds.
When the railroad and court house
bonds are paid it will make some
difference in the tax rate of the county
as the tax for railroad bonds has
been as high as six mills and for court
house bonds three and four mills.
In July 1899 the county voted $40, OOC
in funding bonds to pay the outstand-
ing Indebtedness of the county. The
first bond of $1,000 natures in 1906,
1880 in 1907, $4,000 in 1908, So, soc
in 1909 and SO, 900 in 1910.

Becker People Want County Seat Re-
moved From Elk River.
Sherburne county has a county seat
removal fight on it's hands, and Becker
has started in to make the removal
battle. The citizens of that place
pledge themselves to furnish court
house equally as good as the present
one and to also build a jail. They
claim to have $4,000 already sub
scribed.
Of course Elk River will bitterly
oppose the proposition, and the Clear
Lake Times throws cold water on the
project and says that should a petition
carry it would mean a special election
at a cost to the tax payers Of from
$500 to $500.

First is for Dunn.

The friends of Robert G. Dunn of
Princeton are confident that he will
get majority OF the delegates of the
First congressional district. A Dunn
supporter who was in St. Paul said:
II am confident that Mr.. Dunn will
get all the counties of the First con-
gressional district with the possible
exception of Mower and Freeborn.
There is factional fight in Mower
county; both sides are inclined to
favor Dunn. Freedom county will be
for Justice John A. Lovely. I believe
Dunn will carry Fillmore county, one
of Collins' supposed strongholds, al
though there may be a divided dele
cation. Pioneer Press.

Electric Lines to the Lake,

Fred James who has been running a
blacksmith shop at Spencer Brook
and who sold out some time ago, has
rented the old Carlson farm in the
town of Baldwin, Louis Pierson hav-
ing gone in with Mr.. James in the
renting of the farm. They will plant
twenty acres to beans and the balance
of the tillable land will be sowed to
small grains, corn and potatoes. Mr..
James returned the first of the week
from a trip to Mile Laos lake and
Brainerd where he went with Ashley
Durham who took up several head of
horses which he will work on railroad
construction the coming season with
his brother John. Mr.. James says
that Ashley Durham will probably
take up some land near Brainerd and
make that section his future home.
He also says that there is much specu-
lation in Brainerd and Little Falls
over the possible construction of an
electric line to Mile Laos lake the
coming summer. There has developed
considerable rivalry between Little
Falls and Brainerd over the construc-
ton of a line to the lake country and
Mr.. James thinks from what he heard
while in Brainerd that the road will
be built to the lake from that point
this summer.

FERRY STRUCK BY ICE FLOW.

Boat Capsizes and Three Men Have Mar
row Escape From Drowning.
While the Otsego ferry near Elk River
was crossing the Mississippi river
last Thursday morning it was struck
by an ice flow and overturned. The
Star-News says: "Chas. LaPlant and
S. =. Wright, the passengers, were
thrown into the icy water, and Pros
per Vassar, the ferryman, managed
to reach the small boat. Wright's
team and wagon disappeared in the
current.
1.-The men made a heroic struggle
among the cakes of ice. LaPlant
was the first to get ashore. He was
almost gone when grasped by friendly
hands from the land. and would have
been unable to swim any further.
Mr.. Wright had on long overcoat
which greatly impeded his swimming,
and he would doubtless have drowned
but for the timely rescue by some
river men with bateau. Both men
are Frustrated by their struggle in the
cold water, but will doubtless recover.
The ferryman saved himself by
cutting lose his small boat. The
wrecked ferry was overtaken some dis
tance down river and haulded ashore.
but it will be quite while before re-
pairs can be made and people and
teams ferried across. This accident
againtemphasizes the urgent need of a
bridge at this place.
"Mr. Wright's loss is about $3.50,
but this is small in comparison to the
loss Of a life. AS the boat turned
over Mr.. Wright was slightly hurt by
being kicked on the head by one of his
horses -

Civil and Criminal Calendar Finished
Last Friday and the April
Term Was Adjourned.
Harley Wright Cleared While Mer-
Ger Entered Plea of Guilty and
Went to Reformatory.

The April term of court adjourned
last Thursday and the seat of Justice
was like a deserted village Friday,
while Janitor Clark of the court house
remained monarch Of all he surveyed.

rooms and locked them up until next
September
The case of J. r. Greenlees VS. the
Dalbo Warehouse Co. came to sud-
den termination by the attorney for
plaintiff making motion to dismiss
the action which it is said will be tried
in the United States district court.
This case finished up the jury cases,
and the balance of the civil calendar
was disposed of as follows: The case
OF the State of Minnesota vs. St. P. NJ.
& NJ. Ry. Co. will be tried at cham
bers. The mandamus case of John
Goss VS.. E. d. Whitney, county audi
tor of Mile Laos county, was tried by
the court and will be argued at St.
Cloud, and the same disposition was
made of Sylvester Kipp ct al. VS..
Josephine d. Wilkes, Edward L. Reed,
ct al. Testimony was taken in the case
OF Milton S. Rutherford VS.. Edward
L. Reed and briefs will be submitted
by the attorneys in the case. On mo-
ton of attorney for plaintiff the case
Of the Thompson Cattle Co. VS.. Foley
Bean Lumber Co. was stricken from
the calendar. w. II. Townsend VS.. C.
M. Hallberg and N. N. Nelson, appel
liant, was placed on calendar on mo-
ton of respondent and order filed
ordering judgment.
In the divorce case of Christina
Hoppe VS.. Louis Hoppe, decree was
granted and defendant paid plaintiff
the sum of $500 in settlement of all
claims in the action.
It did not require much time to dis
pose of the criminal calendar. The
only case tried by the jury was that
of the State VS.. Harley Wright, who
had been Indicted by the grand jury
charged with having uttered forged
instrument. It was claimed that
Wright cashed forged Dalbo Ware
house potato check at r. D. Byers'
store, which paid the potato checks of
that company. Wright did not deny
the fact that he had taken certain
check to the store, endorsed it and re-
ceived the money on the same, but he
stated that he had cashed the check
for another party and he did not know
that the check was forged instrument.
The State failed to prove Wright's
completely in the crime and when the
jury took the case, there seemed moth
ing else for it to do but return YER
dict of not guilty. The jury after be-
ing out a short time failed to agree
and so informed the court who again
made the charge to the jury as clear
as possible, and after returning from
dinner the jury brought in verdict
for defendant.
Charles Mercer pleaded guilty to
the charge of indecent assault and was
given reformatry sentence.
The case against Amos Freel, Gil
bert Perry and Isaac and Marion
Brumbaugh was continued over the
term, each defendant being placed un-
der 500 bonds.

guilty to selling liquor on Sunday and
paid fine of S25, while John @.
Evans paid 500 for selling liquor to
minor.
