So there has come about a deliberate
campaign for the non-payment of rents
where these have been raised, and for
the exhaustion of every device to pre-
vent the evicting landlord from getting
his valuable space reoecupied by some
one more tractable.
No great popular movement can
get along without Joan of Arc. The
anti-rent war is led by a girl of little

flights of stairs up in building fairly
new and fairly safe from fire panics.
The rent will be $50 to $50 a month.
No man who would think of looking at

keep boarders'' in place the size of
dog kennel. Thus the rent is paid.

A Suicide.

- ! p r
After he had been arrested and re.
leased on acharge OF beating his-wife,
Peter Engh, a prosperous farmer who
resided near St. Hilaire, hung himself
to a tree near his house. His body was
found by persons passing the highway:
Engh returned home from St. Hilarie,
after he had drank freely, and it is
charged, beat his wife, driving her
from the house. =,.-.- =
Neighbors heard of the trouble and
secured warrant, which it was found
later, had been illegally drawn up
Engh was taken to Red Lake Falls
where he was released. Sobered by
his experience, he returned home, and
found his wife critically ill. Neigh
bors believe that remorse and melan-
choly, the consequence of his drinking,
caused him to end his life.
Escaped From Jail.
With a rope that he made from his
cell blankets, Harry Smith, 20, held on
charge of grand larceny, escaped
from the insane ward of the county
Jail at Minneapolis.
Smith got out of his cell by crawling
through the bucket hole, and got out
side the corridor by picking the gate
lock. The outside windows have no
bars, and Smith tied one end of his
blanket-rope to the cot in his cell,
and let himself down to fourth story
window. He opened the window
crawled over the transom into the
hallway of the court house, and then
walked down the stairs to the Fourth
ave. entrance.
Smith made a similar escape from
the Duluth workhouse.
More Graft.
Because w. H. johnson wanted to
get back some of the money he had
spent. in securing his position as super
intendent of the poor department and
also to recover money spent to bring
Doc. Ames back to Minneapolis, C. H.
Brown, Johnson's assistant in the de-
partment, falsifed and raised bills for
provisions purchased by the depart
ment and was an accomplice of John
son in the wrongdoing in the depart
ment. This is what Brown testified to
on the witness stand in the case against
johnson.
johnson was cleared by the jury and
brown was at once arrested charged
the same as johnson.
