the Guard.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
There are four districts in Minnesota
where, if the order of the state live
stock sanitary board is obeyed, no dogs
will be seen running about the streets
for three months. These are the city of
Anoka; Shelby township, Blue Earth
county; Collins township, Mcleod coun-
ty, and Racine township, Mower county.
Rabies has broken out in these places
and the secretary of the live stock sani-
tary board has been instructed to order
all dogs muzzled, chained and confined to
the owners premises. Enforcement of
this order rests principally with the local
boards of health, but any person is au
thorized to shoot dogs that are seen on
the streets in violation of this provision.
The owner, besides losing the dog, is Ii
able to fine of from $25 to 500.
"This precaution is taken to protect
both domestic animals and human be-
ings," said DIR. S. Fl. Ward yesterday to
The St. Paul Pioneer Press. Twenty
nine dogs affected with rabies have been
killed in these districts and twelve head
of cattle have died as a result of the
infection"

ORDER Is Affirmed.
Case of G. GIucke vs.. Fred GerIich
Is Decided.

From Saturdays Daily.
In the case of G. Glucke, appellant, VS..
Fred Gerlich, the supreme court affirms
the order of the lower court.
The opinion written by Judge Lovely
is as follows:
cit is not necessary for justice of
the peace to enter a formal order for
Judgment in his docket but it is suffi-
Gent if stated therein that the court
rendered judgment in favor of the plain
tiff for a certain amount and for des-
ignated sum as costs which is compliance
with section 1922 General Statute 1894.
"Upon consideration of a converse
ton between the vender of property and
a third party. Held that while state
ments of the former after he had ex-
ecuted a bill of sale to the latter would
not be admissible to attack the vendee's
title to the transfer after the sale, that
the evidence did not have, that tendency
in this case and its admission was not
prejudicial.

From Tuesday's Daily.

From Tuesdays DAILY.
From resident of Warrington The
Free Press learns that the suit brought
recently against several well-known gen.
tlemen there by Attorney Parsons to re-
cover money alleged to have been lost
at a quiet little game of draw, is re-
garded as a joke by the majority of
the people of that city. The defendants
to the action have been subjected to
considerable joshing on account of the
action but all this they have taken good
naturally. The principal defendants are
well-known throughout the state and
not one of their friends. will for mo-
ment believe that they would mix up
in a scheme to 'do" anyone. Judge
Cory, one of the DEFENDANTS was for
merly resident of Mankato, and all
who know him, declare that he is one
of the best of men and as square in his
dealings as man can be. Worthington
people have every confidence in Judge
Cory and they assert that this recent &C
ton of Attorney Parsons will not hurt
the judges standing in the community.
They say that Parsons is doing the ''ba-

BUTTER NOT so GOOD.
SAMPLES Sent In for Contest Do Not
Hold Out As Well.
From Tuesdav's Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
w. d. Collyer, United States butter in
spector, who is stationed at Chicago,
made special inspection of the butter
coloring used in the samples exhibited
at the states third monthly scoring con-
test, which was held yesterday at
East Third street under the auspices of
the state dairy and food commission.
Mr.. Collyer's report, which was sub
mitted to Mr.. Mcconnell last night, has
not been made public, but it is under
stood that the Chicago inspector found
that the vegetable coloring, which has
been used by Minnesota dairymen since
Mr.. McConnell's ruling prohibiting the
use of coal tar dyes went into effect, has
a more OF less injurious effect on the
butter
There were ITO tubs of butter exhibit
ed at the contest yesterday. The quail
ty is said to be not quite so good as at
the two previous contests, owing largely
to the fact that on account of the high
price lof feed dairymen are giving their
cows an inferior food.
Inspector e. X. Slater and Samuel
Haugdahl of st. Peter assisted in the
scoring-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

GIVEN ELECTRIC SHOCK
Miss Let!ie rhiIpo. Has Unpleasant
Experience Yesterday Afternoon.
Takes Hold of a Phone and Is Unable
to Let Go.
From tuesdays Daily.

hSoNoy
Miss Lettie Philpot, bookkeeper at the
grocery store of d. L. Clements & Son
on South Front street, had a very un
pleasant experience, caused by an electric
shock yesterday afternoon between three
and four o'clock. The young lady hap
pened to reach out and take hold OF
her desk telephone when she received a
violent charge of electricity. d. L.
Clements and "a travelling man, who were
in the front part of the store, heard her
scream and ran to her assistance. She
was still seated at the desk with the
receiver in one hand and the phone in
the other, holding both out in the all
and unable to let 60 of either. Mr.. Glenn
ents endeavored to jerk the wires of the
telephone loose from their connections
but had not the strength. The travelling
man at the same time, who had gloves on
his hands, tried to loosen the hands OF
the girl from the telephone and receiver.
He could not tell whether he succeeded in
this or the current suddenly ceased. At
any rate she let go and fell in faint
to the floor, cutting bad cash in her
lower lip. A physician was hastily sum
moned, who brought the girl to herself
with hypodermic heart stimulants. She
was then removed to her home at the
residence of her brother in-law, M. D.
Fancher, on South Second street. This
morning she was reported to be doing
well though still weak from the scare.
She has no recollection whatever of the
accident and when brought to her senses
asked what was the matter. The doctor
states that what really saved her until
his arrival was a strong heart.
How the powerful current found its
way to the telephone wire is a mystery
to everybody. The management of the
Citizens Telephone company, on whose
phone the accident occurred, can of
fer no explanation. The batteries it is
said are not strong enough to furnish
any such current. The charge must have
come from some outside source.
Just back of the building in which
Clements store is located, the telephone
wire runs at right angles to an cleo
trio light wire and about two and a
half feet from it. There is considerable
sag to both wires and there was quite
wind blowing yesterday afternoon. The
electric light wire just below the tele-
phone wire has been spliced. 1t may be
that yesterdays wind lifted up the light
wire to such an extent that for mo-
ment the current was'communicated from
the spliced portion to the telephone wire
in spite of the insulation of the latter.
Shortly after the accident happened
three men from the telephone company's
exchange made careful examination of
the instruments in Clements & Sons
store but could find nothing out of
place. They tried, too, to receive shock,
but were unable to get the current.

TOYING WITH DEATH.
Careiessness Of Men Who Drag Wires
Over Electric Light Wires.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
In speaking of the accident to the
bookkeeper at d. L. Clements & Sons
store, Superintendent Brown of the Man
kato Gas and Electric Light company,
said today that it is wonder that some
of the employees of the telephone COM
pany have not been killed. He states
that they will persist in pulling wires
over the lighting wires, even when warn
ed that these wires carry voltage of
one thousand. The dragging of the wire
saws through the insulation that sur
rounds the electric light wire, and rem
ders it likely that the current will be
taken up by the telephone wire and the
man who has hold of it killed. The cur
rent will either do this, or else it will
burn out the wire and close down the
apparatus at the plant, which it has
done once or twice.
Mr. Brown states that the telephone
men have been repeatedly warned about
this and the company has been notified,
and he will notify it again. The death
of one of its men might mean $1,000
suit for damages.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Not all Minnesota wolves are in the
sparsely settled counties in the northern
part of the state. State Auditor g. S.
Iverson yesterday issued warrants for
bounty on wolves killed in Ramsey, Blue
Earth, Faribault, Fillmore and many
other thickly settled counties, and not
long ago bounties were paid for wolves
killed in Hennepin.
The office of the auditor has been al
most flooded with applications for wolf
bounty since the passage of the 1903 law,
offering bounty of $3.50 for full
grown wolf and 81 for a cub. Under the
new law there is no limit to the amount
the state may pay in year for this
purpose, whereas under the old laws
definite appropriations were made and
nearly always ran out long before the
close of the year.
Approximately $4,000 has been paid
in bounties under the new law, and of
this amount $5,l7G was paid yesterday
on 742 wolves
A list of the counties, wolves and
bounties follows:

TWO DEATHS.

-4f
The announcement of the deaths OF
Mr.. Louis Gjuul of Nebraska, son of Mr..
and Mrs. T. F. Gjuul of Decoria was a
startling surprise to the many friends of
the esteemed family. Mr.. Gjuul was
taken with typhoid fever about Thanks
giving time; he was very low at one
time, but improved so he was considered
out of danger, but relapse took place
about Jan. lst, after which he sank
gradually until death took place on Jan.
9Th.
Mr.. Gjuul was about 81 years of age
and had spent most of his early life in
Decoria. He was young man of fine
abilities, correct habits, and highly es-
teemed by all who knew him. He was
married and leaves a wife, besides his
parents, two brothers and one sister, to
all of whom his untimely death is pc
liarly sad. The remains were brought to
Amboy for burial, the funeral being held
there on January 9th.
Mr. Gjuufs family has been sadly af-
ficted of late, two members having died
within a month This is indeed sad
record and one which intensifes public
sympathy in their late bereavement.
Died.
Gjuul-On Friday morning, Dec. IL
1908, at the home of her parents, in
Decoria township, after protracted
sickness, Miss Ida Gjuul aged % years
five months and % days.
Many hearts were made sad when the
sorrowful news was whispered from one
to another that Ida was dead 1t ha6
been known for several days previous tt
her death that she was considered very
low, yet even when the summons of the
Dark Messenger came gently, calmly
peacefully loving anxious watcher:
at the bedside could scarce conceive that
the spirit of their loved one had winged
its flight.
She was in the very blossom of hel
womanhood, cheerful, bright and gay
with a sweet, sunshiny temper and al
amiable happy disposition; always oper
hearted, frank and willing to forgive
and by all esteemed and loved. But di
sease came-the flower was blighted il
its budding and has faded away forever
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the nortl
winds breath
And stars to set-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own
o death!
