PAINFUL INJURY.

Clifford Russell Cut on Barbed Wire
at SibIey Park.
From Saturdays Daily.
Clifford, the seven year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Russell, met with a
painful accident at Sibley park last eve
ming. The families of w. R. Hammett
and Mr.. Russell were enjoying picnic
there, and the children were playing
hide and seek just at dusk. Clifford did
not notice barbed wire fence that sep
arates the picnic grounds from the drive.
way, and ran against it. One of the
barbs caught the inner part of the left
lower eyelid and made deep cut down
to the corner of the mouth. The boy
was at once taken to physician and
the wound dressed.
1t would seem that it would be safer
and better to have a wire without barbs
there or else light board fence paint
ed white so that people can see it in the
dusk or evening. At any rate, barb
ed wire lis dangerous at such place.

Drochter Says He Was Tempt

Confession of Man Who Skipped
From Near Morgan.
Story of a Couple Who Passed
Through Mankato.
Spouse Is Now Employed in a
Chicago Restaurant.
From Saturdays Daily.

John Drochter, thirty years old, was
arrested by Sheriff SchuIler at Wabasso
last Friday, shortly after noon, on the
charge of the larceny of team of horses
from Arthur Staples, residing six miles
south of Redwood Falls, in May last
He was brought to Redwood Falls and
placed in the county Jail and his prelim-
mary hearing was set for yesterday, at
ten o'clock.
Drochter was in the employ of Staples
up to Friday, May 9th. On that day he
'eloped with Mrs. Staples, who told him
that she acould not live longer with
Staples She took with her the youngest
child. Seen at the Jail last Saturday
Drochter says that upon leaving the
farm they drove to a school house east
of Redwood Falls, where they remained
Friday night. The next morning they
drove to Franklin Returning, they stop
ped at a school house two miles north
day at noon they took dinner at Sleepy
Eye. Saturday night they were in New
Ulm. On the night of the 9th they were
in Mankato, and on May 18th they were
in Blue Earth City. Proceeding south
until they got into Iowa, they sold the
team taken from Staples to some horse
traders doing business between Clear
Lake and Mason City. Forty dollars
was what they received for the team,
they boarded train and went to Chi
cago. There they resided together until
their money was gone. Drochter claims
that he could find nothing to do. Mrs.
Staples went to work in a restaurant,
and afterwards Drochter moved west
for the harvest fields. He worked In
Mankato for few days. Then he came
to Vesta and worked a couple of days,
returning from there to Mankato, and
then coming to Clements.
81 expected to see Staples in Glenn
ents," he said, "and see whether / could
fix things up with him, and have him
send money enough to his wife to bring
her back. She wants to come back. But
/ didn't see him and 1 went on to Wa
basso, where l was arrested"
Drochter says that he never saw or
heard of Staples ll-treating his wife,
saying that all she said was that she
could not live with Staples any longer,
and that she made the proposition to
him to run away.
When arrested Drochter was cooking
dinner for himself and several tourists
before an open fire just west of Wa
basso. At first Drochter denied his iien-
tity, saying that he was John Miller.
Mr.. Schueller knew that he had regist-
'ered in one or two places by that name

HAS BAD RECORD.
Gang to Which Lizzie Pfeiffer Belong

From 90 u,s Daitu

Gang to Which Lizzie Pfeiffer Belong
ed Stole as Well as Forged.
From Saturdays Daily.
Chief Donahue yesterday received a
letter from James A. Astrander of Chi
cago, saying that Lizzie Pfeiffer and an
other girl came there May lst, 1903, and
worked in factory, and made the ac-
quaintance of Frank Bartlett, alias Bar
tells, alias Thomas Donahough. He came
to Ostrander's house and the latter got
acquainted with him. Ostrander knew
the girls at Dubuque, Iowa, as he for
merly lived there. Bartlett and his pal
robbed his house Jan. l4th last of his
wife's gold watch and guard chain and
diamond ring, Ostrander's gold watch
fob and some other rings and skipped.
Ostrander has warrant for Bartlett.
The gang went to Dubuque and passed
forged checks and got away. One check
for $40 was passed by a sister of Lizzie
Pfeiffer. Bartlett is paroled convict
from Joliet. His partner is named Far
ley, and is now serving eight years in
Saltwater.
Bartlett is the man Wilson who visit
ed relatives in this city, accompanied by
the Pfeiffer girl, and is now under ar
rest at Sioux Falls. Sheriff Williams
has letter in which certain robberies
committed at Dubuque are attributed to
Wilson 1t is evident that with the ar
rest OF. Wilson and the Pfeiffer girl the
gang has been pretty well broken up.

Washington, d. c., Aug. l3.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent Aug. ii to 10, a
warm wave Aug. 10 to Ia, cool wave
Aug. l3 to II. The next disturbance will
reach the Pacific coast about Aug. II,
and cross west by the Rockies by the
close of Aug. Is, the great central val
leys Aug. 10 to 2l, the eastern states
Aug. %. A warm wave will cross west
of the Rockies about Aug. IL, the great
central valleys Aug. 10, the eastern
states Aug 2l. A cool wave will cross
west of the Rockies about Aug. 20, the
great central valleys Aug. %, the eastern
states Aug. "a.
This disturbance will bring great
change in temperatures and long hot
period will succeed a long cool period.
Storms will assume a milder form than
those that clustered around Aug. IL, but
will continue to be more intense, more
severe than the average storms of Au-
gust. Temperatures will continue to
fuctuate, up and down, but more up
than down and from about Aug. l6 to
Sept. l, very great rise in temperatures
will be experienced.
The hurricane expected to organize in
the Caribbean sea will probably contin-
lie it's operations for several days on the
Atlantic coast, but l will not undertake
to give the path of its operations. If it
continues to Aug. 10 will expect it to
greatly increase in force about that
time.
The cool wave due in the Mississippi
valley will go to low temperatures in the
vicinity of the upper lakes and the fall
in temperature will be sudden, much aft
er the style of the winter cold waves but

the north Pacific, on the north Atlantic
and possibly, though not probable, OF
the Gulf of Mexico. If | have timed the
continental storms waves about correct
ly readers will know not only when to
expect these severe storms but approx
imately where.
The most severe of the storms viii
cluster around Aug. 26, and expect the

great central valleys.
The next bulletin will give a genera
/ forecast of September in which three
great storm periods are expected.

BIG BUTTER CONTEST.
Minnesota State Fair Competition
Open to the World This Year.

Minnesota State Fair Competition
Open to the World This Year.
FROM Fridays Daily.
The butter display in the dairy build
ing at the Minnesota state fair will be
the center of unusual interest at the
fair of this year, as the management
has decided to remove the limitations
which have heretofore restricted compe-
tition to exhibitors from the state of
Minnesota, only This year butter will
be received in competition from any
state and the result will be that some of
the best butter makers in Wisconsin,
Iowa, North and South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and other states will send their pro-
duct to the Minnesota fair in an endeav-
or to beat the Minnesota creamery men.
The result will be the greatest butter
contest ever held in this country.
The dairy department is in charge
of A. w. Trow, one of the best known
butter men in the country, and the
premiums and conditions surrounding
butter exhibits and competition, have
been revised so that butter makers will
have even wider opportunities than be-
fore.
The Minnesota state fair opens this
year on Monday, August 20, continuing
for one week. Half rates have been
made by all the roads, taking effect
August 27, but exhibitors who wish to
90 earlier can secure fare and one third
within one week of the fair opening.
The fair is held on the Minnesota state
fair grounds, midway between Minneap-
oils and st. Paul.
