Leg and Ankle Crushed.

While assisting in moving a granary
and corn crib belonging to Halvor
Negaard of Santiago, on Wednesday
of last week, Nels Nelson, son of
Halvor Nelson, fell and had both feet
caught under one Of the sled runners
and was pinned under the runner and
the heavy load for three-quarters of
an hour, before he could be released.
One of his legs escaped injury as it
rested in an ice or snow pocket, but
he did not escape so we'll with the
other leg and foot. The ankle bone
was split and the bone of the leg was
broken in two places. The boy was
driving the hind team and was tripped
on some brush beside the road. In
falling his legs went under the runner.
DR.. Cooney was called and attended
to the boys injuries.

MERGER INTERVIEW.
K. G. Dunn Plainly States His Posi-

Relating to Same.
His Views and Statements rlade in
an Interview in the St. Paul
Pioneer Press.

Hon. r. G. Dunn, one of the candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for governor, gave the Pioneer Press
yesterday an interview setting forth
his attitude and views on the so-called
"merger''question. He protests Wig
orously against attempts which, he
says, are being made by political OPP
ponents to place him in false light
before the people of the State on this
issue, and in unmistakable language
he states his views in his own forcible
way, and cites what he has said on
previous occasions. Outside of his
statement that he does not believe in
senseless abuse of J. J. Hill. Mr..
Dunn's position on this question seems
to be more advanced and more def

DAUGHTERS Heroic Act.

By the burning of a boarding house
in Minneapolis last week Mrs. Daniel
Rathjens, whose home is in the town
of Bradford in Isanti county, was
seriously burned, while her daughter,
Miss Laura Rathjens, made very
brave effort to rescue her mother from
the burning building. Miss Rathjens
and a lady friend were awakened early
in the morning by the presence of
smoke in the room. When they awoke
they found that the bed clothes were
aire, the flames having burned
through the floor into the room. Miss
Rathjens rushed up stairs to her
mothers room and started down stairs
with her, but the suffocating smoke
and the hot flames forced her to drop
her mother in the hallway, and the
woman was trampled on by boarders
who rushed out and did not notice her
as she lay at the foot of the stairway.
Mrs. Rathjens was seriously burned
and bruised but will recover. Her
daughter was also burned some as
were other members of the household.
Mrs. Rathjens is the mother of Mrs.
VIM. Robbers whose husband formerly
ran the old Commercial hotel in Cam
bridge. She is also the mother of
Mrs. 3. F. Gillespie, wife of Sheriff
Gillespie of Cambridge.

Lenten Regulations

Bishop Trobec of the St. Cloud
diocese has issued his Lenten regula-
tions, the observance of which began
yesterday, which was the first day of
Lent. Accompanying his circular was
a letter to pastors in which the bishop
called the attention of pastors to many
Of the common abuses of Lent as we'll
as disregard of the rules and customs
of the Catholic church. He referred
to intemperance which he styled 'sthe
shipwreck, Of chastity He also re-
ferred with singing rebuke to the
dancing evil and stated that some
were immodest and dangerous, re-
marking that ''young people allow
themselves often liberties over which
angels weep"
The oath-bound societies came in
for the bishops denunciation, and he
did not forget to refer to ''mixed mar
riages'' which were weakening the
church.

There will be l26 delegates at the
congressional convention at Duluth,
apportioned as follows:
An Entertainment,

The musical and literary entertain
ment given at the opera house Friday
evening under the auspices of the M.
&. church was fairly we'll patronized
for an event of that nature, though
the entertainment was really deserving
of a much larger house. Miss Mae
Cole, vocal soloist of Minneapolis,
rendered her services for the occasion
without charge, and sang three selec-
tiOns. She has contralto voice that is
rather pleasing and sang very nicely,
but the singer could not tell whether the
audience was appreciative or not. If
absence of encore is any criterion the
audience was without appreciation. but
more than one deserving performer
has left the footlights of the Princeton
opera house without any evidence of
appreciation, though the audience if
it had been personally appealed to
would in almost every instance have
manifested it's feeling.
The local talent which assisted in
the entertainment demonstrated it's
capability. The male quartette, com
posed of Prof. Selleck, Fremont
Woodcock, Otto Radeke and Pert
Selleck were especially good. Prof.
Selleck is leader of the singing at the
M. E. church and has taken great in
terest in the work. His rich tenor
voice is frequently heard in solos at
the evening service at the church. The
other members of the quartette are de-
serving of praise for they each did
very we'll. Rev. Gratz amused the
audience with short humorous talk,
and one of Eugene Field IS poems. B..
0. Browns trombone solo, ''The Song
That Reached My Heart" was rem
dered with considerable spirit, and the
flute solo, by Alphonso Nachbar was
also good. A. G. Nachbar sang
''Pretty Jane" as a baritone solo. All
of these musical selections were loudly
encored. Prof. Selleck sang ''Adieu
Marie,,,'' and neglected to return with
his encore which was called for.

MT: Hill is inspired by rival railway
companies, said Mr.. Dunn, and am

Minnesota man and has built up our
country. He is not a wrecker and his
opponents are.

look the world in the face and say that

any allegiance or obligations.

that I absolutely declined to oppose
Van SAINT or to permit the use of my
name in opposition to him.

ing that I cannot indorse to-day. In
referring to Mr.. Hill as I did, I had
in mind the great benefits which my

received from the enterprise and sa-
gacity of Mr.. Hill.

CONVENTION CALLS.
County Primaries to Elect Delegates
to County Convictions are to
be Held Ma th 10th.
Two Republican cf'nty Conventions
One to be He II the 18th and
One tie 18th.

With the opening of March politics
will begin to WI rm up considerable.
The town electi 1ns will occur on the
eighth and on the tenth the first set of
primaries of jthe year will be held
throughout thk county for the election
of delegates to the county conventions
to elect delegates to the congressional
and State conventions. The State
central com itee called the county con-
ventions f6r the election of county
delegates to the State convention to
meet on the fifteenth of March, while
the Eighth district congressional COM
mittee met at Duluth and set the date
of the congressional convention for
the same day, with a call for county
conventions to be held on the twelfth.
This necessitates the holding of two
county conventions, one on the twelfth
and another on the fifteenth, but the
county primaries will elect delegates
who are to attend both of the county
conventions, and one set of primaries
will answer for both conventions.
The county committee has called the
primaries for the tenth of March, as
will be noted by the official call pub
lished in the Union this week. Ac-
cording to the apportionment the Mile
Laos county convention will be en-
titled to fifty nine delegates while the
county will send nine delegates to the
State and congressional conventions.
The congressional convention will be
held at Duluth on the fifteenth at the
city hall for the purpose of electing
two delegates and two alternates to
attend the national convention at
Chicago, and the State convention will
be held at Minneapolis on the seven
teenth to elect four delegates at large
and four alternates to represent the
State at the national convention.
At the State convention there will
be l,l76 delegates, apportioned to
the congressional districts as follows:

VOLUME XVIII. NO. 10.

Every one who knows him likes
Bob Dunn, and has absolute conf
dence in his fearlessness, his honesty
and his absolute fairness. He has
more ardent fighting friends than any
other one man in the State, with the
exception of Senator Nelson. When
mans own townspeople will do
what the citizens of Princeton have
done for Mr.. Dunn, he has very little
need for managers or headquarters in
a political campaign. AS things look
now, it seems to be another japanese
Russian affair, with Bob in the role
of the mikado, and the sympathies of
the people are divided in about that
proportion. I hope and believe that
the convention will simply make it
unanimous.
All the candidates are my friends.
but I consider this as Mr.. Dunn's turn.
Judge Collins has been repeatedly
honored by the party, having been
county attorney. member of the legis-
lature and district judge and as Justice
to the supreme court held the highest
Office and the greatest honor the State
can give man in his profession. Mr..
Dunn was always his personal friend
and political supporter, and it is my
feeling that he has no occasion at this
time to resign the Office to which he
was elected for term of six years to
chase the governorship. There was
no party call for him and no public
demand that he leave the Office he was
elected to fill, to stir up bitter con-
t1lct in the party that had so honored
him. Personal ambition is we'll
enough, but party loyalty and the
States good are, to my notion, much
more admirable qualities.''

House Burns at Onamia.

The dwelling house of John Lund-

day afternoon of last week. Mr..
Lundquist was in the woods at the
time and Mrs. .Lundquist was at home
with the children. The fire caught
from a. defective chimney in the
second story of the house and the
building was totally destroyed The
furniture saved were two chairs,
table and sewing machine. There was
no insurance on either the building Or
the furniture, and the loss falls heavily
on Mr.. Lundquist at the present time.

"A MILACA HUMAN BEAST.

y. e. Mercer Charged With Trying to Ruin
Twe1ve-Year-OldG Girl.
Marshal Shockley of Milaca brought
). b. Mercer, formerly night clerk at
the Arlington hotel at that place to
Princeton Monday afternoon and
placed Mercer in the lookup over
night, taking him to the Hennepin
county Jail the next day where Mercer
will have to remain until the next
grand jury meets as he is charged with
a grave otfense, that of having carnal
knowledge of a twelve year-old girl
at Milaca. Mercer was arrested Mon
day and when he was brought before
the justice and charged with the
crime it is claimed that he pied guilty
but that afterwards he stated that he
had done nothing to the child of
criminal nature. The girl goes to
the public school in Milaca and Mer-
Ger was in the habit of paying much
attention to her and very often took
her candy at school and was much in
her company. The teacher noticed the
mans attentions to the girl and had
her suspicious that all was not right,
and she asked the girl about the mat
ter, the result being that the child in
formed the teacher of the mans crimi-
nal acts. Feeling over that matter ran
pretty high at Milaca and the man was
brought down to Princeton for safe
keeping.

BRADFORD FARMER DIES Suddenly
William Farrell Gets Up and Builds Fire
and Goes Back to Bed and Dies

william Farrell Gets Up and Builds Fire
and Goes Back to Bed and Dies.
William Farrell, a farmer living in
the town of Bradford, Isanti county,
was found dead in bed last Thursday
morning. He got up early and built
the fires and had gone back to bed.
His wife spoke to him when she awoke
but he did not answer and she lit the
lamp and found that the man was
dead. He probably died very short
time after going back to bed.
The body was inferred in the Nichols
cemetery at Spencer Brook last Sat-
urday. Farrell was a man fifty-thr
years of age and had an eighty acre
farm which he had struggled hard to
secure and had one forty clear of debt,
and the other forty which he bought
some time ago was almost paid for.
He was Woodworking man, but pre-
ferred to go without the necessaries of
life in order to get ahead. He lived
with his family in very poorly con-
structed house and it is said that the
family lacked the comforts of life, two
of the little children sleeping these
cold nights on bed with nothing but
horse blanket over them. Farrell
had not been in the best of health for
some time, and his manner of living
had much to do with his sudden taking
off. Neighbors have interested them
selves in the family and are seeing
that they are provided for this winter.
There are three children, one boy
about sixteen wears of age.
