ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL.
Judge Giddings Is Kept Busy Administer
Ing Justice to Criminals.

Judge Giddings, who sat Oh the
bench at the trial of the Elk River
murderers, is the judge at the trial of
the men charged with murder in the
second degree, for the killing of Fred
die King, a nine-year-old boy, at
Columbia Heights on Nov. q.
Charles Hammond and John Kalb.
alleged to have been implicated in the
same crime. will be tried later. ~
Citizens of Minneapolis will attach
greater interest to this case than will
be felt in Anoka, where the trial will
be held. The crime was committed a
few days before Thanksgiving in Ed
Mingo's saloon at Columbia Heights,
during turkey rattle. The bartender
was seriously wounded, and Freddie
King, present with his father, was in
stantly killed.
The three men who will be tried for
the crime have secured Wyman &
Blanchard of Anoka as their attor-
neys. County Attorney Albert F..
Pratt of Anoka county, assisted by G..
I. Simpson, first assistant attorney
general, will conduct the case for the
State. One reason why the case will
be watched with greater interest is the
fact that no one has ever been con-
victed of murder in Anoka county, al
though several dastardly murders
have been committed and men brought
to trial. The list from which the
jurors will be drawn was made up
over two months ago, but has never
been made public. It is probable.
however, that one side or the other
will ask for a new list.
The Columbia Heights murder STIR
red the public deeply. The victim was
small boy and the crime was COM
mitted in the most heartless and cruel
manner. The three men who will 90
to trial were arrested by two Mime
apolis detectives, Charles Brown and
Andrew Crummy, both of the police
department. The crime had been COM
mited just over the line in Anoka
county, but the boy and most of the
parties concerned were residents of

TOOK PARIS GREEN.
Weary of This Life Hans johnson of
Orrock Takes Paris Green
and Dies,
Brought to the Northwestern Hos
pitaI, But Too Late to
Save His Life.

Hans johnson, a resident of the
town of Orrock, Sherburne county.
was brought to the Northwestern hos
pital last Sunday suffering from the
effects of dose of poison which he
had taken. He told DR.. Cooney that
he resided ins Orrock, but had been
working for George Walker in Glen
dorado for year and had intended
to continue work at the same place;
that he had no particular reason for
his act, but that he had often thought
he would take his own life and on
Saturday he had procured a quantity
OF Paris green which he put dry into
cartridge shell and put into his
mouth, washing it down with water.
He repeated the dose until a large
quantity had been taken. After the
deed was done he repented and will
ingly aided the Walker family in their
efforts to counteract the effects of the
poison. Emetics were given and he
seemed to be recovering until Sunday
morning when his symptoms were so
alarming that he was brought to the
hospital, arriving about eleven
O'Clock, but his system had absorbed
so much of the poison that recovery
was impossible and he died about two
hours afterward. The man was
twenty-eight years old and single. A
sister is working in Princeton. The
funeral was held Sunday, as imme-
diate burial was necessary.

SHALL WE HAVE a FAIR?
The Public is Asked to Attend Meeting
to Decide the Matter.

to Decide the Matter.
The managing board OF the Mile
Laos County Fair association desire
the citizens of the county to meet with
them on the evening of Monday, May
l, at eight o'clock p. NJ, at the Office
of M. S. Rutherford for the purpose
of hearing their report of last years
business and to decide whether or not
a fair shall be held at Princeton next
fall. This is the second call for a
meeting for this purpose and the old
board desires to impress upon the
minds Of citizens the fact that action
must be taken at once if anything is
to be done this year. If fair. is
wanted there is new board to elect
and other business to be attended to.
The association is now out of debt,
thanks to efficient management and
there is no good reason for letting the
interest in the matter die. It is time
the people of the county knew what to
expect and the board says that if this
meeting is barren of results they will
not call another. AS Mr.. Newbert
puts it. "This is the last call for
breakfast.' Attend the meeting which
is for the public, elect some hustlers
on the board and have hummer of a
fair next fall. Have a fair that will
be some pumpkins.

Canada Stands on Edge.

L n. h. Danforth of Mora, passed
through Princeton on the north bound
train last Friday. While the train
waited he shook hands with some ac-
quaintances whom he informed that he
was returning from trip to Spokane,
WASH, and that he also went north
into British Columbia where the
country stands on edge, as he says.
Mr.. Danforth says that he saw j. P.
Woodman in hospital in Spokane,
where he is for the treatment of
Bright's disease. He remarked Incl
dentally that Spokane physician
had new theory of the disease and
claims he can cure it.

EASTER SERVICES.
Ideal Weather and Splendid Programs
Bring Large Congregations to
All the Churches.
Good Sermons and Floral Decorations
in all the Churches Please
the Attendants.

Easter Sunday among the churches
was one long to be remembered in
Princeton. Seldom in its history
have such elaborate preparations been
made and such pleasing programs
rendered. The day was almost ideal
and the congregations at the several
places of worship were large.
At the Methodist church the pub
lished program was carried out in a
pleasing and instructive manner. The
church was beautifully decorated with
flowers, the Easter lily being the most
conspicuous as it was the most beau
tiful. In the morning Rev. Swimmer
toms text was the eighth verse of
twenty sixth chapter of Acts, ''Why
should it be thought a thing incredi-
BILE with you, that God should raise
the dead?" The pastor traced the
resurrection idea up to it's consum-
nation in the resurrection of Christ.
Appropriate songs were sung and the
large congregation listened with rapt
attention to the music and the ex-
pounding of the holy words.
| In the evening the church was we'll
filed, the musical features being solos
by Miss Orpha Townsend and Mont
Woodcock with the offertory and vio-
lin solo by Miss Grace Byers and Mr..
Anderson, with Mrs. Cooney and Mrs.
Soule accompanying.
At the Congregational the program
as published was carried out, the
music being of that grand and solemn
order which moves the soul of man to
ponder on glorious things. The con-
gregation was large. Rev. Henderson
took for his text, HSaved by Grace, -
and he pursued the thought that
though man may be malefactor of
the lowest order he may be saved by
the grace of God and be witness
! unto Him.
The solo by Mr.. Avery and also the
one by Mrs. c.. A. Galley were pleas
ing features Of the program. .s.-..,,t.,
At the Catholic church the floral
decorations were very beautiful, the
young ladies of the congregation hav-
ing made special arrangements Of
lilies, ferns and palms. These decor
ations were symbolic of the joy the
church expresses. FIR. Levings spoke
on the Resurrection of Christ and
the Proof" The music, instrumental
and vocal was grand. The vocal
solos by Mrs. Cooney being specially
enjoyed. The congregation was one
of the largest in the history of the
| church.

Home Talent Did Well.

The play of ''Tony the Convict by
local talent last Monday evening drew
a large and appreciative audience.
The cast of characters had been made
with good judgment and all unite in
pronouncing the performance a sue
cess. Some of the actors displayed
more aptness than others, but without
entering into personalities the U n on
will say that all did we'll and the base
ball club feels pleased with the liberal
patronage given them.

Shall We Have a Band Stand:

The members of the cornet band
have always shown public spirit
by furnishing music when called
upon and have taken great care to i'm
prove themselves that the public might
be entertained in a fitting manner.
They say now they have procured a
line of new music and expect to offer
more pleasing selections if they can
be furnished with a proper place for
their concerts and think that the viii
lage should be willing to contribute
the sum of fifty dollars or so which
would be required for a stand. They
are not particular as to the location
of the stand,. but would consider the
court house block as the best suited.
It is up to the citizens to say what
they will do. ... ..@-,

HOPEFUL HARRY.
Fourteen Lives Lost In Convent Fire

The little village of St. Genevieve,
Canada, is in mourning over the loss
OF fourteen lives in a fire which de-
stroyed the convent of st. Anne on
April q. One nun, nine children,
ranging in age from ten to eighteen
years, and four old women perished
in the flames. Two nuns were so
severely burned that it is feared they
will die. In their grief over the
catastrophe the villagers find some
comfort in relating the heroism dis
played by Sister Marie Adjuteur, who
gave up her life, and Sisters Marie

Ihe Boys of the Third Regiment Would be
Pleased With March.

r.. Pleased With a March.
There is. some prospect that the
monotonousg routine of an encamp-
mentfat Lake City may be changed
this season for march to some point
in northern Minnesota. The boys of
Company G would be greatly pleased
with such an arrangement. The
Anoka Herald says: ''If taken the
march would probably be in the Iron
Range district out of Duluth, the route
to be- selected and all arrangements
made by a committee to be chosen by
Col. Nan Duzee. Such an affair sim
liar TO the one taken in 1901 from
Milaca to Brainerd would probably
do away with the annual encampment
at Lake City. but since the pay re-
ceived by the men is the same and a
hike is little out of the ordinary
COMPANY B is expected to have very
large enrolment. In 1901 the COM
panysmu mustered between fifty and sixty
men and this year that number would
probably be exceeded.
'The trip would be pleasant one
for the boys as in addition to the out
door life of the trip they would enjoy
the hospitality of the towns along the
line Gf march. These towns recognize

"The body of Dahlberg was lying

without spark of life left. AS soon

"The night clerk states that when

seemed to be entirely normal. He did
not appear to be intoxicated, nor did
he behave as if he were laboring un-
der any great excitement. After he
had registered he quietly asked to be
shown to his room, saying that he was
going right to bed.
"The proprietor of the hotel said
last night that the reason why the man

VALUE OF FERTILIZERS.

Minnesota Soil Naturally Good, But it
Can be Improved.
The recent cold wave that passed
over this part of the country caused
some farmers to take a pessimistic
view of the weather conditions, but a
few days of sunshine has caused them
to smile again and now they look
more cheerful and hopeful, yet we oc-
casionally meet a man who complains
of another cold, late spring. Never
Htfeless the promise;s that seed time
and harvest shall continue till the
end of the world.
Spring is nearly here for congress
men are sowing seed all over the
country. By the way, these are the
only men we know of who are sowing
worthless seed. They claim to send
out new varieties of seed for trial and
ask for report of the success with
these seeds. We have received many
score of these seeds and we have never
had package of new variety and
a majority of the different varieties
are almost as old as Methuselah.
Stevens county, Minnesota, is noted
for its hard water. The wells vary
in depth from eighty to 200 feet and
the water; is all hard. The Morris
Sun gives an account of a man that
used his cream separator to- obtain
soft water he runs his machine at a
high speed and the soft water comes
out of the milk spout while the rest
comes out of the cream spout. This
may be a good thing for people living
in country where the water is hard
but we prefer to live in country like
Mile Lacs county where the water is
soft.
Farmers living in the eastern states
use large amount of fertilizer, such
as guano and superphosphate. The
latter is used very extensively and
large yield of all kinds of crops is
obtained where it is used, but the soil
in Minnesota is so rich that it will
raise nearly as good crops without
being fertilized. Nevertheless as we
travel around in Mile Lacs county
and see the large piles of manure ly-
ing around the stables we are of the
opinion that such farmers will find it
greatly to their advantage in the in
crease of yield of their crops if they
would spread this manure on their
fields and it looks much better to have
it clean around the buildings and is
more healthy.

May Build School Houses,

The U MON is informed by mem
ber of the school board that the
Brickton school is full and it is ex-
pected that in the near future some
thing will be done to better the pres
ent conditions. Whether a new build
ing will be erected or an addition put
on the present one he did not say.
Much will probably depend on the re-
quest OF. the patrons of the school.
The gentleman also said that the
schools in the village were rapidly
filing and that the time was not far
distant when some arrangement would
have to be made to relieve the pres
sure in the lower grades and that when
the time came the board would con-
slider the building of a school house
on the north side of the river.

Iherese and Marie Robertine, who.
were perhaps fatally burned in their
efforts to save the lives of the children
and helpless old women in their
charge.
The dead are: Sister Marie Adju-
teur, Amanda Garaud, Bertha Tes-
sier, Marceline Villemaire, Irene
Bertrand, Adele Terrault, Leone
Laoust, Eglantine Proal, Mrs. Mich
ael Lelande, Mrs. Cardinal, Mrs.
Margaret Potivin, Mrs. Robert.
There is no organized fire protection
in the village. The fire, which started
at an early hour in the morning, was
beyond control by the time the Sleep
ing people could be aroused. A
bucket brigade was formed but the
efforts to check the flames were futile
and the quaint old structure was re-
duced to ashes. Sisters Marie
Therese and Marie Robertine were
rescued with difficulty from the hall
way where they had fallen overcome
by the smoke and flames. -
One of the first to reach the convent
after the alarm was sounded was
Alphonse Garaud, who lives opposite
the convent grounds. He had two
daughters in the institution and his
first thought was naturally for their
safety. Securing ladder, he raised
it at one end of the building at a win
dow of the dormitory where he knew
one of his children slept. When he
smashed in the windows a great
volume of smoke poured out. He
rescued one girl and minute later
second girl jumped from the adjoin-
ing window. Urged by Sister Marie
Adjuteur, he ascended the ladder
again and called out, but received no
response. In another moment flames
were pouring out of the windows and
he was compelled to retreat.
