Her father thought Of the kind of

DEER HE STORED
COST HIN LIBERTY
F. o. TILToN, COMMISSION MAN,
SERVES JAIL SENTENCE.
May Have to Give $50 Days in Con-
finement for Carcass He Kept for a
Customer Let His Appeal Drop and
Now Can't Pay His Fine.

Because he was found to have deer
carcass stored in his warehouse during
the closed season, Fred O.. Tilton, the
commission man, is now an inmate of
the Hennepin county Jail. He will
probably have to remain the county s
unwilling guest for $50 days, or nearly
year. In other. words, he will have
to give over day of his life for every
pound Of venison he stored for one of
his patrons.
The defendant has the alternative
Of paying a fine of $3.50, but after work
ing all day yesterday he was unable to
secure that amount, and today he has
about given up hope. He said today
that if he could get out, he thought he
could raise about 5000, but this would
be insufficient and there seems no prob
ability Of the fine being cut down.
Over a year ago the game authori-
ties instituted a crusade against the
violators Of the game laws. Tilton
was one OF the unfortunate ones. Some
Of the deputy game wardens found ven
ison in his warehouse. The meat was
seized and the commission man was ar
rested. Later he was indicted, tried,
convicted and sentenced to pay fine
of $3.50 or spend $50 days in Jail.
The verdict didn't look good to the
defendant, who claims that he was con-
victed on technicality. Notice of ap-
peal was given, stay of sentence was
granted and the defendant was re.
leased on, an appeal bond. -
No appeal has been perfected and the
stay has long since expired. Yesterday
the defendant was re-arrested by a
deputy sheriff. He was kept under
surveillance and allowed to search fol-
the money necessary to pay his fine
He searched in vain and last night
spent his first night behind bars.

TIKI. PLAN TO PARK
4 KEEGAN'S LAKE

Keegan's lake lies in district which
for years has been in need Of moral
publication. The lake itself, with the
surrounding land, is naturally adapted
for park purposes. With the dual OBJ
ject Of redeeming the place and secur-
ing a pretty park and picturesque
driveways, the residents Of the west
ern part Of the city, led by the Oak
Park colony, has started a movement
in favor Of the acquisition Of the nee
essary land by the park board and it's
incorporation into the park system.
: Francis M. Henry, who has given
the subject some study and is familiar
with the territory, has prepared plan
roviding for park at Keegan' 3 lake,
which lies directly north of and ada
cent to Glenwood park, one Of the most
picturesque tracts in the city's park
domain. The plan, as will be seen
from the accompanying map, includes
a system Of parkways to connect Lake
Of the Isles, Cedar lake, Glenwood park,
the proposed park at Keegan's lake
and extending north along the valley
Of Bassett IS creek. This will form a
link in the long-advocated plan for an
extensive system of boulevards to en-
circle the city. Petitions urging the
park board to acquire this land are
being circulated and are receiving nu
merous signatures.

Word received from Superior, is TO
the effect that the leading grain dealers
there are siding with the Minnesota
inspectors. In fact, it was on request
of these grain men that the Minnesota
inspectors inspected grain in ships at
Superior, and it was no undesifedt In
trusion on the part of the Minnesotans.
It is now practically determined that
if the Wisconsin authorities insist on
their point and carry: the day, it will
simply mean an end Of all grain in

grain dealers will have their grain IN
spected on ship in Minnesota waters

The eastern market refuses to pur'

absolute necessity to the successful op

MYSTERY Wells GARBAGE
Future Disposition of Refuse Is Dark
Secret. .-..<

The workhouse authorities have placed en-
barge on the burying Of any more garbage on the
workhouse grounds. This action was a disap-
pointment to the health department, officials. as
they had hoped that the temporary arrangement
for the disposal of garbage would be permitted
until the crematory be rebuilt SO that it
can be used nutil permanent plant is provided.
However, DR.. P. M. Hall has made other
arrangements and the collection Of garbage will

1t is learned that the matter of securing a

levy. The long haul to the workhouse makes
the expense unnecessarily heavy. If central
location cannot be secured, the alternative is to
have two crematories. one for the northern
rart of the city and another for the southern
section. The latter would shorten the haul from
the thickly settled residence district and enable
the death department to do more work without
much increase in the cost. " -
