LARRY Warren followed
| l the advice of the poacher
SO faithfully that when he
left the Fisherman's Rest" he
had ceased to speculate as to
whether Angler was alive or
dead. In fact, he told himself
in maudlin self-confdence that
he did not care much one way
or the other. 1t was in this
spirit of bravado that he lurched
into Testers room at the inn
and hiccuped himself out again.
The old solicitor was not dead,
but his condition was extremely
critical. He was found by
Simpson about an hour after he
was struck down, still insensible,
but breathing stertorously like
a man with apoplexy. This
new evidence of an assassin
hand caused something akin to
a panic at the Hall. One
mounted messenger clattered
away in haste for DR.. Smalley,
and another was despatched in
search of Lester by Edith, who
had small faith in the pompous
little village doctor.
Perhaps the only two people
who remained outwardly calm
were Mrs. Warren and Brading,
both of whom had returned to
the house together some little
time before the discovery of the
crime. Mrs. Warren had no
doubt as to the would-be
murderer's identity. She was
in an agony of anxiety to see
her son and learn the exact
circumstances of the crime from
his lips. She dreaded lest Ain
gier might have recognized his
assailant. Had there been a
quarrel-open threats? If the
solicitor regained consciousness,
that would bring dis

as he skulking in the park in the

black darkness it was impossible to distinguish
face FORM and, from the few whispered words, it
had been impossible for Warren to form any clear
idea to the identity of his companion. This
had spoken in the rugged Northumbrian
accents; and Warren had reached state of mind in
which he could bear anything rather than suspense,
he put a curt question to settle things, way
another.

The reply came in whisper too but these

He never meant to hurt the
old man. OF course he would
not hurt him for the world!
Nevertheless, the ruling in
stinct made him active in self
preservation. While he was
protesting to himself the in
nocence of his intentions, he
was still reaching feverishly
for the books for which he had
risked so much.
To take up the forged pass
book and put the genuine one
in its place was the work OF
an instant. Then, with some
thing of shuddering horror, he
pulled the ledger from under
meath the senseless head. He
saw a red stain across his
hands, and again the desire to
scream out came upon him,
but not so strongly that selfish
terror did not master it. One
glance was enough. He had
the right books. His tremb-
ling fingers buttoned them
under his coat, and he knew
he might laugh at investiga-
ton, if he could only conceal
the fact that he had been in
that room.
His mind was clear, with the
dazzling radiance of a lightning
flash amid dark clouds. He
remembered that this pleasant
apartment, twice within a fort
night, had been the scene of
a crime. With the thought,
blind terror gripped him in its
icy clutches. He must get
away-away from the silent
figure with its nerveless hands
and accusing blood. Warren
crept softly halfway to the
window, and then with gasp
of panic, born only of his
conscience, rushed out as
though all Scotland Yard
pursued him-rushed, and
catching his foot at the step,
fell heavily, his head striking
the pedestal of a grinning
figure of Pan the goat-god.

cover the sale of beer. Congress-
man Stevenson made this an
nouncement yesterday in the
land office after examining the
records of the transfer of this
country to the United States and
the treaty involved, that the docu-
ment only made mention of
spurious" liquors and that this
excluded the consideration of
beer which was not a spurious
liquor under the Interpretation
of the law.
The following is the text of the
sixth article of the treaty: The
laws of the United States now in
force or that shall hereinafter be
enacted prohibiting the introduc
tion and sale of spurious liquors
in the Indian country, shall be in
full force and effect thruout the
country hereby coded until other
wise directed BY Congress or the
President Of the United States.
The land covered however by
this treaty is only limited to the
neighborhood of Crookston, the
eastern boundary being near the
east county line and south to the
center of Norman county.

Major Scott, of Leech Lake
Reservation, Goes to st.
Paul to Meet Engineers.
INDIANS HAVE A GRIEVANCE
AGAINST GOVERNMENT.
They Have No Legal Claim But
Efforts Will Be Made to Have
Them Reimbursed.

Major Scott, of the Leech Lake
Indian reservation, is on his way
to St. Paul where he will meet
the government engineers who
some time ago we're ordered to
Northern Minnesota to investi-
gate the conditions resulting
from the recent high waters and
ascertain what effect, if any, the
government dams had upon the
condition of affairs. This board
of engineers has completed it's
work and is now in session in St.
Paul ready to hear any and all
grievances.
Ma or Scott goes to St. Paul
in the interest of the Leech Lake
Indians. He says that they will
suffer more than any one else
along the route of the Mississippi
as result Of the high water.
The large amount of rice which
they have been able to gather
every year served admirably the
purpose that flour serves the
white man. This year as a re-
suit of the high water the great
rice beds have all been washed
out and they will get but very
little of this substantial food
which they usually thrive on.
Then there is the hay crop.
They have put up but very little
hay and they will have to get help
from some source in order to
keep their stock alive.
Maj or Scott stated also that
they have another grievance com
ing which they think can never
be atoned. Their dead which
have been given the Indian burial
at different points have been
washed away and nothing that
the white man can do will re-
store their feelings.
"It is true" said Major Scott,
''that the Indians have no legal
claim against the government.
When the dams we're put in by
the government the Indians
we're paid $4,000, but this
money has long since been
squandered and they cannot now
after all these years be made to
feel that they have been paid for
these damages which have or
which may yet be incurred as a
result of high water. I believe
the government ought to do
something for these people; they,
the Indians, should not be made
to suffer just because there is a
technicality which serves as
loop hole for the government to
crawl through. They do not
understand these matters like
ordinary men.

Miss Mary McMurdy Married
Bigamist Arrested at
Colorado Springs.
ONE WIFE RECEIVED LETTERS
INTENDED FOR OTHER.
Bigamist Will Be Brought Back
For Trial if ExtraditiOn Is
Allowed.

Aitkin Age: DR. Arons who
has had considerable notoriety
in this part of the country is now
in the grasp of the law, charged
with bigamy and forgery.
Last Friday a handsome, dark
eyed lady, richly dressed, and
accompanied by her attorney,
visited the county attorneys
Office here and after conducting
preliminary business with County
Attorney Krelwitz, appeared be-
fore Judge Williams and com
menced proceedings against
Arons for bigamY.
The lady is one of his wives
and was married to him at Ocean
Grove, California, last April.
After living together a couple of
months, Mrs. Arons, who was
Mrs. Edna Kempffer, nee Miss
Fisk of Minneapolis, and her
mother, who is wealthy, planned
a trip 10 the Orient. Arons re-
presenting that he was about to
open a sanitarium in California,
secured about $1,000 froma the
mother. Something occurred to
delay the trip of the ladies, and
Arons, without a word, disap-
peared.
Hearing nothing from him,
suspicion was aroused; but not
until a few days ago when the
California ladies we're in Mime
apolis, did the wife of last spring
learn the truth, Stopping at the
West hotel she incurred for mail
for Mrs. Arons and was given
several letters that we're in
tended for she who was Miss
Mary McCurdy Of this place
who married Arons last August.
It was learned that Arons was
in custody at Colorado Springs
for non payment of his hotel bill
and giving worthless checks, and
he wrote to the Aitkin wife, who
had returned to Minnesota, en-
treating her to raise money to
get him out of his trouble. She
returned to the home Of her
mother here last week.
The California wife, after con-
ference with the county attorney
of Hennepln county, was advised
to commence action in Aitkin
county, and that was what
brought her here. Sheriff

morning for Colorado, and if
there is no hitch in extradition
proceedings they will be back in
Aitkin Friday or Saturday and

AN ACT to amend Section "a of Article

eral Assembly of Maryland (three fifths
of all the members of the two Houses con.
curring), That the following section be

amendment to the Constitution of this
State, and if adopted by the legal and
qualified voters thereof, as herein pro-
vided, it shall supersede and stand in the

intervals, continuing until they drop
down to the floor, dead drunk. This
however, does not lower them in the
eyes Of the girls.
II like" confesses the mountain
maid, "to see boy have enough liq-
uor in him to make him lively!"
The only musical instrument in the
backwoods is the banjo, yet music
plays no small part in the courtship.
If the lover has picked up new tune
in the outside world to add to his re-
pertoire OF "Ida Red" "Cripper
Greek" and "Poor Ellen Smith," he
teaches it to his sweetheart. ELLEN
Smith," an old English ditty-almost
his only love song, he sings constant
ly. It's story is of a girl murdered by
her lover and of his wretohedness af-
ter the deed. The refrain tells that
he "Never knew he loved her until he
saw her coffin pass" and that "now the
sheriff and bloodhounds will give him
no rest!'
When the wedding day comes, usu-
ally after very short oourtship, the
young couple slip off at night, and
call it running away" even though
they have their parents consent. Real
runaways are but few.
The usual obstacle in the course Of
true love is the enmity Of the mother
of "the other girl" One mother be-
comes so angered because . young
man quits "talkin'' to her daughter
to talk to q more attractive girl that
she threatens to reveal the "moon-
shine" business Of the youths family
to the "revenuers," q proceeding she
knows would ruin the family.
The mountain folks seldom remain
single after widowing. As long - .
man is not confined tc his char by old
age he considers himself "plenty
young enough to marry" Nor does
he wait very long after the death Of
his wife to find another. If Narthy
dies in April, Dick is "talkin' BY
July, and married by September, and
when Marthy's funeral is preached in
October LOUSY, her successor, pre-
pares the big dinner for the funeral
guests.
Love marriages are the rule in tho
mountains, but the marriage of con-
venience is not unknown, particular
ly in the second marriage. Brandy
making (moonshine or legaD brings
its reward, and the grandmother, past
60, marries the sickly individual Of
4G because she and her family wish to.
secure the chest brandy maker IN the.
country" to themselves.
An aged widower wife seeker hires
woman to keep house and do his
cooking for few months. "I'll try
her, and eff she is of any account to
work I'll marry her." he announces to
his friends, "and ef she haint, I won't.

x.Rays in suraery.

In a recent number OF the Lancet,
Mr.. Stephen Mayon describes meth
cd Of removing small metallic for
eign bodies from the stomach by
means of an electro-magnet, aided
by X-rays. The electro-magnet is
two inches in length and five-sixths
of an inch in diameter, and is placed
in an ordinary stomach tube, with a
narrow silver band on the outer side
OF the stomach end Of the tube. When
the tube containing the magnet pro
truding one-fourth of an inch, is
placed in an ordinary stomach tube,
with narrow silver band on the out
er side Of the stomach end Of the
tube. When the tube containing the
magnet, protruding one-fourth of ar
inch, is passed into the stomach. the
X-ray is applied, and th5 operator
is thus able to bring the magnet into
contact with that part of tho foreign
body most suitable to draw into the
tube. The current is then allowed tc
flow through the magnet, and the for
eign body is drawn into the tube by
means of the connecting wires. When
the foreign body is shown by the x
ray to be in the tube, the whole is
withdrawn together.
