Monster Spider Found by Mr..
Trout In Bunch of Bananas.

A large tarantula which was discov-

store of Trout Bros, POI Bates avenue,
yesterday afternoon, caused consider
able excitement until it was captured.
Thursday Mr.. Trout received several
punches of bananas and yesterday aft
ternoon, while several customers were
in the store mostly women, one of the
women going up to the particular
bunch saw the big spider and gave
scream. The clerk Immediately ran
over to see what was the matter.
Look! Look!" exclaimed the excited
woman, Take it away. Kill il! Kill
it,"
The rest of the women ran from the
store while George Trout, one Of the
members of the firm, grabbed broom
and with one blow stunned the taran-
tula, which was then placed in fruit
jar. Shortly after a man came into
the store, saw the spider and bought it
from Mr.. Trout for the price of the
jar.
The tarantula measures six inches
and has nine legs. 1t is a repulsive-
looking thing covered with hair of a
brownish color. 1t is very active, con-
sidering the climate in this region and
is considered rare article.

little, If anything, has been done towards

Of wheat in the Red River valley will be
as large as usual, for it not only raises
the best wheat in the world, but more of
the grain to the acre. On the lighter
soil the farmers are diversifying and
nearly two hundred creameries are pro-
ftably operated throughout the state.
Collections in the counties where crops
have been somewhat short for years as
compared with the returns in the valley
are better than ever before, and I am in
clined to assign the improved conditions

crops and the dairy interests.

TELLS A STORY AND
LOSES DIVORCE SUIT
Mrs. Taubert Gives False Testimony
and Court Dismisses Her Case.

Mrs. Nellie Tauber's suit for a sec
ond divorce from the same husband
came to a sudden finish yesterday aft
ernoOn in Judge Jaggard's court, when
evidence was produced j. to show that
Mrs. Tauber had given false testimony,
as to a former charge against her in
the municipal court.
Mrs. Tauber in her complaint charged
her husband, Louis, with cruelty. She
said that after having once been di
vorced from him she was remarked to
him Nov. 29 1899, and there are two
children bye this last marriage as well
as two by the first. She asked that the
custody of the children be given to her.
In the testimony It was shown that
Mrs. Tauber had been twice married
and once divorced even before her first
marriage with Tauber. She was ques-
toned as to her arrest and appearance
in the police court some time ago on a
charge Of disorderly conduct and said
that the complaint had been dismissed.
The record of that court was produced
to show that she had testified falsely
as to the dismissal Of the case. There
was also testimony that she had f1gur-
ed in an an assault upon police officer
in Minneapolis.
Judge Jaggard dismissed Mrs. Tau
ber's suit for divorce.

Charles H. Brown, who for two days
in the trial of W. H. Johnson, former su-
perintendent Of the poor, tried to explain
raised bills, fraudulent entries in books
and countless irregularities by saying he
did it all under orders from johnson,
broke down yesterday and admitted his
own guilt
He declared that he was an accomplice
Of Johnson in wholesale attempts to
make money out of the poor department,
and that all his previous testimony on vi
tai points was evasive and untrue.
The change of heart on the witness
part produced a profound sensation in
court, particularly when Brown explained
his relationship with Johnson inSthe al
legged graft arrangement.
Il had a talk with Johnson ,. he said,
"and he told me the expense he had been
to as one of the bondsmen for Dr. Ames,
ex-mayor. He also summed up the cost
of his first trial and said he must get the
money back some way. He suggested a
scheme of padding grocery bills, he to
pad the Scofeld & Allen bill and could
do the same for the Steffel BILL
AS sample of the rotten condition
of things obtaining in the department,
Brown said, regarding one bill:
johnson said to me, Charlie, here's a
chance to put $40 on this bill I looked
at it and saw that the prefxing Of a
one was easy. and so I put it on"
The trial will probably continue today
and tomorrow.
