charge of robbing the state rooms Of
the Clyde steamer Arapahoc. and was
later convicted and sent to the peni-
tentiary at Columbia for one year,
which term Ross is now serving
The discovery OF the keys shows
that the fellow was professional
sneak thief, as was proven at the trial,
and the court made no mistake in
sending him up to Columbia.

The Thought gave her new courage,
aud, when the foremost of the three
Villains would have seized her bride,
she struck him binding blow across
the eyes with her riding whip.
Half maddened by his terrible run,
Sellm reared yiclously and struck an
| other of his would-be captors to the
ground, leaped over the prostrate
body, and was of again like the wind.
But his sudden onward dash was of
short duration; in vain Annette urged
the noble animal to one more effort.
1t was useless. Selim was staggering
along at a swaying, uncertain pace, uil-
able TO regain the advantage he had
lost in the encounter with the three
MeXicans, who, anticipating the
chances of Annette's escape, had been
stationed in the turn of the road to in
tercept her further flight in that dircc-
tiOn.
Sick and dizzy with the heat fatigue
and fear of her frantic ride, Annette
felt herself almoSst fainting in the
saddle.
A furious yell from the MeXicans
aroused within her heart renewed hope.
She answered the savage yell with
joyous shout, for directly ahead came,
a company of United States troops.
She was q soldiers daughter, and,
when she caught II glimpse of the star
ry banner waving bright through Il
cloud of dust, she could not suppress
a glad, wild cheer of triumph.
Not Mexican was in sight. Every
one had disappeared in the tall grass,
or, hidden by the short curve, were
fastening back to cover in the chapar-
raj.
Checking her horse. Annette sprang
to the ground, and was quickly sur
rounded by the amazed and Wondering
troops.

matter"

SUI n'" nearly all the way from town.

soon Il score of well armed horscmen
were galloping in all directions after

sofa Man Forty Dollars.

Because he eVaded the postal regu-
lations by sending a letter wrapped in
a newspaper through the mail, and be-
cause he refused to pay the $40 penalty
imposed by law, E. r. Dampier, an at
torney Of Pelican Rapids. Mimi, has
been fined in the United States district
court in session at Fergus Falls and
has been assessed with the costs Of the
prosecution, amounting to $40.
Dampier was charged with mailing
letter wrapped in newspaper with
a 1-cent stamp, and when called upon
by Inspector Fry to pay the $40 fine
declared he could not be compelled to
do so. Suit was then commenced
against him by the district attorney
and the case was heard in Fergus Falls
last week. The district attorney was
notified yesterday of the decision.
The prosecution and conviction Of
Dampier is said to be the first of it's
kind under the postal laws, and the
inspectors are rejoicing at having won

who opposes the school system as it
is established and has existed for
years. Realizing that Mr.. Smith is en-
titled to his opinions on this subject,
we desire that he either win a re-eIec-
ton with our opposition or be defeated
by the campaign that we will make.
THE feature ito which wea~object is
that in his. public utterances the Su-
per1ntendent has been careful to re-
frain from making an expression that
would commit him as favoring the
Adjustment of the school, but we can
show that he has apparently used Sc
cret methods aiming at this end, and
further, that we believe that he has
used his influence against the success
of the school. Notwithstanding this
opposition the school will this year
have much larger graduating class
than ever before, and we will endeavor
to show that if the school is given
proper encouragement it will grow
from year to year.
The object Of the mass meeting is
to go into this question and submit to
the people the necessity of finding a
means to stop this agitation for the
removal of the school. There is Moth
ing personal in our attitude against the
superintendent, but we believe that he
is opposed to our school and we pro-
pose to, if possible, find a man for the
place who viii not harass us in the
future"
"At the conclusion of this meeting"
said H. HI. Blinn, another member of
the executive board, Il believe that the
opposition to the school will cease, but
it would be foolish for us to stop there.
It seems to us that there must be some
truth in the persistent charge that the
continued effort to abolish the Cleve-
land high school is due to personal
matter, and it is likely that this fea-
ture Of the case will be put up to Supt.
Smith during the controversy"
