The Lucky HOy.

The boy who's always wishing
That this or that might.be
But never tries his taettle,
Is the boy that's bound 20 see
His plans all come to failure,
His hopes end in defeat;
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail t. meet.
The '1uck' that believe in
Is that which comes with work,
And no one eEer finds it
Who's content to wish and shirk.
The men the world calls lucky"
Will tell yau, cverY one
That success comes not by wishing,
But by hard work bravely done.

Seed Corn,

New corn is arriving in small lots.
I. 81. Galley has been receiving a lot
OF the new crop at the starch factory
for treatment for seed stock. The
corn which is sacked is weighed.
marked and placed in the drying
rooms of the lower part of the factory
where it is kiln dried until all the
moisture is removed and the ear and
kernels are as dry as flint.
There is great shrink to corn"
says Mr.. Galley, "and some corn will
shrink as much as eighteen pounds to
a bushel from the time it leaves the
shock until it is ready for seed pur-
poses.
Pointing to a sack of corn weighing
ninety-fve pounds which stood on the
scales Mr.. Galley stated that the corn
had shrunk over two and a half
pounds in a single day.
Mr.. Galley sells much of his seed
corn to Northrup, King & Co. of Min
neapolis.
The crop this year is great inn
provement over that of last year.

OLD FOLKS CONCERT
1t Was Presented at Opera House on
Last Friday Night and Was
Grand Success.
Splendid Array of OId.Fashioned Cos.
tunes and Good Program of
Old-Time Music.

The old folks concert certainly
made great hit. Like old wine it
was good. It pleased because it
awakened recollections of ''long, long
ago." It was one of those entertain
ments that fit in just right. It did not
glare with the artistic polish of the
present day. There was not the rag
time, rough-house, take-me- out-and-
shoot-me air to the music as there is
today. There was not department
store suggestion of any kind about
the concert. From ''Auld Lang Syne''
to America" there was that stateli-
ness of simplicity itself and an at
mosphere of sociability that made
everyone enter into the spirit of the
occasion with genuine pleasure
There was full house and from
the opening of the program to it's con-
clusion the audience was appreciative
and in harmony and spirit with those
who participated.
Preceding the raising of the curtain
those who participated marched in
old time costumes about the opera
house that all might see the fashion
plates and styles of generations ago.

MURDER
HeinO Lundeen of MOorhead Shot IN
N. P. Freight Train Near Elk
River Sunday.
Sheriff Ward Captures rlurderers at
Rogers Siding and They Are
in Hennepin County Jail.

Heino Lundeen of Moorhead, was
murdered on a Northern Pacific
freight train about two miles west of
Elk River Sunday and II. Fl. Kenner
of Elbron, Iowa, A. M. Freeman,
Rudolph Bjorquist and another com
panion from Moorhead, were com
PEELED to jump from the moving train
or suffer similar fate. They we're
riding in a disabled box car to Min
neapolis. Lundeen refused to give up
his money when two strangers APP
peared and held up the crowd. Those
who jumped went to Elk River and
reported the murder to Sheriff Ward,
who telegraphed to Anoka to have
the train searched. The body of the
murdered man was found in the coach
but his murderers had escaped.
Sheriff Ward and Deputy Tiff began
a search for the murderers who left
the train at Itasca and went across to
Dayton where they bought some shoes
and crossed the ferry, going to
Rogers Siding on the Great North
ern road where they secured a room
at the hotel, and gave orders not to
be disturbed as they were tired out.
Sheriff Ward and his deputy were hot
on the trail and soon traced them to
their quiet retreat. The hotel man in
formed Sheriff Ward that two strange
men were in room at the hotel and
the landlord went up to the room with
the sheriff and deputy to notify them
that "a gentleman wished to see
them. They refused to open the door,
and the landlord secured a skeleton
pass key and turned the lock. The
sheriff and his deputy and the land
lord forced their way into the room
and found the two men dressed and
with revolvers in their hands, but
they did not shoot, and the sheriff
soon disarmed them, and took them
to Elk River where they were given
a hearing and bound over to await
Indictment and trial. On their per-
fsons were found the watches and per-
sonal effects taken from the men in
the car, and the feeling was so intense
when the men arrived at Elk River
that there were threats of lynching
them.
The train was searched at Anoka
and the body of the murdered man
was found in the car. The murder
was most foul and cold-blooded one
Ludeen was awakened from a sound
sleep by the peremptory order to
"hold up hands!" and he did not
comply as readily as his companions.
"Shoot him." said one of the MUIR
derers, and while yet scarcely awake
a shot whizzed by Ludeen's head and
then another which ended his life.
The chances look good for a double
hanging in short time.
Sheriff Ward took the prisoners to
the Hennepin county Jail where they
will be closely guarded until their
Indictment and trial. $50.
The manner in which Sheriff Ward
and Deputy Tiff captured the desper-
ate men entities these two officers to
great credit. They showed great
nerve and bravery. When they broke
into the room at the hotel at Rogers
Siding, Sheriff Ward was armed
with revolver while Immediately
back of him was his faithful deputy
armed with double-barrel shot gun,
the muzzle of which was pointed out
between Sheriff Ward IS arm and side.
They realized the chances they were
