DEATH WIN ) CONTEST
Menier Simard Loses Remark
able Fight for Life.

After living six months with a frac-
tured skull, Menier Simard, carpen-
ter, died at ST. Joseph's hospital yes
terday. Simard was injured while
working on the new addition to the
West Publishing companys building
on West Third street, last September.
He was struck on the head by a heavy
timber, weighing several hundred
pounds. AS it was thought that the
man could not live but a few minutes
Coroner Miller was notified.
Simard, however, continued breath
ing and it was decided to remove him
to the city hospital. The physicians at
the hospital dressed his wounds, but
said he would not live an hour. Simard,
nevertheless, chung tenaciously to life
and continued to improve.
Later the physicians began to hope
that the mans recovery was possible,
but nephritis set in and his death was
again predicted. Once more the man
rallied and so far recovered that he
was able to leave the hospital. He
was never in good health again, how
ever, and on March II was taken to
st. Joseph's hospital, where he gave
up the fight yesterday, death result
ing from meningitis.
Simard was fifty-two years of age
and was born in Canada. The funeral
will be held from the home of his
brother, 418 Sherburne avenue, tomor-
row morning. --.-l--. Ass-s O.

JUSTUS WILL MAKE
A FIGHT FOR FEES
Sheriff Files Appeal From De.
cisicn of Commissioners
Dlsa!!oWing Claims.

Having concluded that he is willing
to face the music incident to a public
hearing Sheriff P. c. Justus yesterday
filed with the clerk Of the district
court an appeal from the decision of
the county commissioners disallowing
claims he had fled.
At the instance of the county attor-
ney the commissioners concluded that
JustuS was not entitled to fees for
which he put in a bill, the aggregate
amount being $1,47435 1t is from this
decision that Justus appeals to the
courts, apparently willing to face the
contention that he has been attempting
to collect fees that are not due him.
The largest proportion of the claim
is for attempting to collect on execu-
tons issued against delinquent per-
sonal property taxpayers, the sheriff
insisting that he is entitled to $1,002
more than he was allowed. The county
attorney holds that he is not entitled to
receive payment in cases where the ex-
ecution is not satisfied and the taxes
paid. The remainder of the amount,
$47235, is claimed for serving subpoe-
mas, warrants and Writs and for is
suing commitments. In the case Of the
subpoenas the county attorney holds
that the sheriff is attempting to charge
more mileage than he should receive,
and that in other cases he is not en-
tied to compensation.

TIMBER TRESPASSFR
PAYS HEAVY FINE
State Auditor Iverson Collects
S12,722.18 From A. T.. Bruce,
of St. Louis County.

Timber trespassers in Minnesota
have not found their ventures profit
able during the past year, for since
Feb. 1, 1908, they have contributed in
fines $51, 200 to the state treasury.
The largest trespass fine on record
was collected yesterday by State Au-
ditOr Iverson, who received $12,722.18
from A. G. Bruce, of FIatwOod, ST.
Louis county. That sum was paid for
trespass committed in 1903, in section
is, township 81, range q, from which
1,156,560 feet of timber was taken. Mr..
Bruce was assessed 81 per thousand
for the timber.
State Auditor Iverson received an
other fine, amounting to $500, yesterday
afternoon. 1t represented 114,OO0 feet
of timber unlawfully taken from Sec
ton Is, township 50, range %, in St.
Louis county.
The sum of $4,000 collected from
trespassers during the past year, paid
for 100000 feet of pine, the average
price charged per thousand being So
The trespasseS occurred in ninety diff
ferent sections, the individual fines run
ming all the way from $3.50 to BruceS
fine Of $12,722. The greater number
OF the trespasses were small, only ten
during the entlree thirteen. months eX-
ceeding 1000 feet
s5Auditor Iverson said that his depart
nent will continue to vigorously pros
ecute all treSpaSSerS who are diScOV-
cred. His cruisers have been notified
to arrest all persons cutting timber on
state land, and offenders will be prose-
cnted criminally and civilly

BAD FOR DEPOSITORS
Minnesota Savings Bank Re.
CeiVers Promise Little.

Messrs. Sheehan and Dickson. the re-
ceivers Of the Minnesota Savings bank.
yesterday filed with Judge Lewis, of the
district court, an account brought to
date. A very poor showing is made.
A total of 19,407.32 has been COL
lected by the receivers, of which Sill
1880 has been consumed in expenses.
leaving $8,289.02 on hand. The re-
ma1nder of the assets, it is contended
by the receivers, is composed of real
estate of questionable value Not much
will be realized from this source. and
1t is recommended that 1t be disposed
of in bulk.
AT the time of the failure of the
bank the schedule of assets exceeded
the claims of $24S,000 that were filed. but
1t was found the bills receivable were
comparatively valueless and the notes
said to be on hand were worth but
little, or had been discounted at other
banks, with the result that but little
more than $4,000 is left.
To make it still more likely that the
depositors will not receive a dividend
the Mechanics National bank of New
York recites the court that it should
be made a preferred creditor, having
acquired from the Allemania bank
$4,000 worth Of security that had been
pledged by the Minnesota Savings bank
that could not be disposed of for the
amount The discrepancy is not cited.
The Savings Bank of st. Paul seeks to
be made preferred creditor on the
same grounds, claiming that $247.25
was lost on an investment Of $1,000.

Il have a story to tell about what
Grape-Nuts did and is still doing for
my child, a story marvellous indeed
which seems almost incredible, but
which is an absolute fact.
1.-TWO years ago in March my little
four-year old daughter was stricken
down with tuberculosis of the right
hip joint. We put her in charge of q
specialist for treatment He told us
that our only hope of saving her hip
and perhaps life in addition to his sur
gical treatment was to build UP her
system with good nourishing food to
make good rich blood, bone, muscle
and fat which in time would cure the
disease by absorption.
This sounded easy, but proved a
difficult case to treat, as there were
so many foods recommended that did
not agree with her or that she did not
like, and therefore would not eat.
For a year and a half she barely
held her own until Grape Nuts was
tried, which she liked from the first,
and in two months gained two pounds
in weight, where during the Is months
preceding she had lost weight
Nov, Notwithstanding she is also
just recovering from q severe attack
of the whooping cough, which she has
had for the last three months, she

WILDER WILL CASE
PROMISES TO DRAG
Court and Attorneys Reach
Agreement as to Course of
Various Hearings.

The Wilder will case came before
Judge Bum yesterday and an agree
ment was reached as to the course the
various hearings shall take. 1t was
agreed that the case will be submitted
to the court on the record presented,
with arguments on the questions rails
ed. 1t was conceded that all points
raised are questions of law, and will
therefore be tried by the court.
On April % the motion of Mrs. Will
der's heirs that they be permitted to
file an answer, and also the motion
that the petition in intervention be
stricken out, will be heard. 1t was de-
cided that it will be necessary to hear
and dispose of the various points rails
ed in these matters before May 2, when
the case will come on for trial on it's
merits.
The case is very complicated, and
promises to drag through the courts
for some time. The estate is valued at
about $10000,000, which includes pri-
yate bequests and the founding Of the
Wilder charity If the supposed plan
of contesting the will is carried out,
and the decision should be in favor of
the Wilder heirs, DR.. T. E. V. Appleby
would receive one third of the immense
estate. He was the son-in-laW of
Mrs Fann1e ). Wilder, and was left the
homestead and $4,000 a year by his
wife, whose death preceded that of
her mother. The intervenors, who may
become contestors, claim that the Gre
alton Of a trust such as is proposed by
the Wilder will Is contrary to state
law, and that the curative act passed
by the last legislature is unconstitu-
tional.
1t is expected that more than twenty
attorneys will be engaged in the final
trial Of the case.

LITTLE ONES PENNIES
WILL BUY MANY TREES
School Children Contribute More Than
$500 to the Thursday Club.

Two large grain sacks filed with
pennies, nickels and dimes were car
ried to a local bank the other day
and deposited in the name of the
Thursday club and the cause of horti-
culture. After several hours of toll on
the part of bank clerks the contents
of the sacks were found to exceed $500.
This money had been collected by the
club from st. Paul school children that
the club might buy fruit trees for the
little ones to plant. At least 1000 trees
will thus be purchased. If not dug up
too often, to show how it's progress
ing, the extensive orchard of the
Thursday Adamites may eventually
provide each St. Paul schoolm'am with
one red apple for every winter day.
The trees are to be planted on Arbor
and Bird day, in private grounds.

Arbor day will be designated by Gov
Van SAINT in accordance with chapter
36, General Laws of 1889. In several
states, however, this holiday is legally
fixed upon certain date. In Arizona,
for example, ArbOr day is the first
Monday in February; in Nebraska it
is April %; in Rhode Island, the sec
ond Friday in May, and in Utah,

DECALOGUE IS A

So Declares Carroll Wright, Who LIkens
Socialism to a Rubber Band.

NEW YORK, April Flaw has all
ways failed to adjust wages and it's eff
forts in that direction have done more
harm than good. The decalogue is as good
a labor platform as any. In right action
or in practical religion we find the high
est forms Of solution yet offered
This statement was made today by
Carroll d. Wright in an address on the
subject: rs there a solution for the labor
question:" before the League for Political
Education.
Mr.. Wright said that while many rem
edies for labor troubles have been sug-
gested all have proved fallible. While
favorable to arbitration, he could not see
that it had been a complete solution of
the trouble. Socialism, which he termed
the most ambitious remedy offered, he
lkened to great rubber band which
may be stretched and stretched until it
seems to compass the whole of society,
but finally it reaches the point where the
strain is too great and it gives way al

wrong; I felt like criminal whenever

paper-I mean my pen.
Because, unless the regulations are
mistaken-which is altogether incred-
ible-I've been violating the law for
more than six years. 1t was in March,
1898, shortly before our difference with
King Alfonso, that congress passed a
statute directing each head of the de-
partment to require all clerks and
other civil employees to labor not less
than seven hours each day.
Il used to be a patriot; but 1 con-
slider myself no better than Benedict
