First Crime.

ST Paul. Records Of the first trial
for crime committed in the present
boundaries OF Minnesota have been
found in the letters OF Gen. Sibley.
Maj. R. I. Holcombe, who is engaged
in writing history of the State of
Minnesota, sound the record among
the papers of Gen. Sibley. The trial
was for the murder of Alfred Aitk,n,
son of A. Aitkin, for whom Aitkin
county is named. The elder Aitkin had
established a trading house at Sandy
lake. In the winter of 1898 the
Chippawas gave much trouble to the
traders and missionaries in that re-
region. They visited the trading
post while Aitkin was absent and shot
and killed his son Alfred, who had
charge of the post. Then they forced
the other attendents to give them all
the goods they wanted on unlimited
credit.

Mesaba range. Utterly ignorant of
the great value of iron ore within the
boundaries of his claim, he remained
on it only until he acquired title and
then abandoned the property. He con-
sidered the land of SO little value that
he made no pretence of keeping up the

BADGERS WHIP
THE COPHERS
IN THE ANNUAL GAME OF FOOT
BALL ON NORTHUP FIELD
IN MINNEAPOLIS.
More than 1000 People Witness
One of the Hardest Fought Con-
tests ever Seen on Field. Wis
consin Won by 16 to 12.

Minneapolis, Nov 6-Wisconsin Sat-
urday got the chance she has been
waiting for during the past three
years, and succeeded in regaining her
1ost prestige by defeating Minnesota
at Northrop field in game that will
go down in football history. With
the possible exception Of the Mime
sota-Michigan game of 1908, it was the
fercest battle ever played by Mime
sofa eleven. Score-Wisconsin 16,
Minnesota II.
Taken all in all, Wisconsin narrowly
ontpIayed Minnesota in all depart
ments of the game, but the Minnesota
spurts at times were wonderful.
Neither team had the advantage all
the way through. At first it seemed
all Minnesota, and then Wisconsin
seemed to have the call, while the men
played like demons all the time
Minnesota made the first touchdown
after about two minutes play on
football, aided by Wisconsin tumble.
The ball was steadily advanced down
the field by Brush. Current and it,
Fer. With the ball on Wisconsin's
thir,y-six-yard line, Minnesota was
penalized for offside, and Welsel punt
ed to the Wisconsin team several
times and seeming helpless, absolutely
refused to obey Coach Kings COM
mands and pushed Clark back after he
had gone out to relieve him. Mime
sofa, too, was plucky and game
throughout, but had more time taken
out and finished the game with three
substitutes in the line. Wisconsin
clearly out-punted Minnesota, but
Larkin did some good work after he
went in.
The Minnesota offense seemed ire
sistible at times, but the Wisconsin
line always rallied at the right time,
when Minnesota did not lose the ball
on fumbles. Larkin was especially to
blame in this respect. He was too
anxious to the ball, and would start
to run before the ball had landed,
