LONELY, HE KILLS SELF
Christmas Memory Of Dead Wife Too
Much for Farmer.

Presumably because Of memories Of
his beloved partner in life, whom death
had removed from the possibility of en-
joying Christmas with him and her
children and grandchildren, T. Hunt,
well-to- do farmer of Maple Grove, last
night drank carbolic acid and died in
the presence Of his son, daughter-in-l law
and their. children. Mr.. Hunt had
spent the afternoon at the home Of his
son. The occasion had been unusually
Joyous, the elders were In happy
Christmas spirit and the children pratt
Ting and anxious for the great day Of
their lives. Christmas had been
the happiest period of the year for the
wife Of the aged farmer and he felt
unable to pass the day alone.
Mr.. Hunt arose from the table after
the evening meal, walked to a shelf in
the same room and drained the contents
Of the carbolic acid bottle before the
startled son and daughter-in-law real
lied his purpose. He fell writhing to
the floor, and tho physician was sum-
moned Immediately, died in a short
time. -

Christmas day smiles of generous pro-

Santa Claus never furnished more
thoro and welcome surprise than was
caused by the posting Of the glad notice
in the streetcar barns at Thirty first
street Christmas. Not word had been
said Of the contemplated action and the
men were completely surprise. This is
the second time that the company has
advanced the pay of it's employees in
the same manner, and both raises were
entirely unsolicited, so that they are re-
garded as direct gift. The extra 4
lars will mean much to the men a

MRS. BRENNAN'S HOLIDAY
ACCUSED WOMAN CENTER OF OEL-
ITERATION IN JA1L-JURoRs
FREED FOR THE DAY.

Mrs. Stella Brennan, on trial for the
murder Of her stepchildren, is closely
guarded prisoner in the hospital room
Of the Hennepin county jail, but she is
not deprived of some Christmas recrea-
ton. The pretty prisoner did not hang
up her stocking, but she received q
beautiful locket from her husband,
James Brennan, and today she sat
down to a sumptuous repast OF turkey
and suitable Christmas delicacies that
many of her free sisters would envy.
This morning Tailor Nels Clausen, as
sisted by some members of the news
paper fraternity, gave: Mrs. Brennan
gramaphone concert The defendant
was not arrayed in the long veil and
black suit that make her conspicuous in
the court ROOM She wore a bingham
dress with the sleeves rolled up and the
collar turned in. The gramaphone rep
etory included humorous and sentiment
tai illusions and the prisoner suited her
expression to the music.
But beneath the smile, tho, there was
plainly heartache. The mask of in
difference was not worn SO consistently
as when she is in the court room and
when she thought no one was noticing
her her face would change, a far-away
and sad expression would come into
her eyes and several times she bit her
lips as tho at the thought of her
trouble and perhaps to keep back the
tears. e.. - ~ -,
Owing to the most unusual order of
court the jurors in the Brennan case are
enjoying Christmas at home today
Never in the history Of local murder
cases have the jurors been allowed theil
liberty during trial. Judge Fl. D. Dick
inson cautioned the Brennan jurors
several times against reading the papers
or talking to any one about the case
The trial will be resumed tomorrow
morning and will undoubtedly last thru
out next week and possibly longer.

PUT ON GOOD SHOW
Miners American Burlesquers Again
Delight Patrons of Dewey.

Del1gnC. fdIlO11S VI DSW0S'
sMiner's American Burlesquers,'
company that has the record for always
bringing something new, does not dis
sapoint the patrons Of the Dewey the
alter this week. A catchy. up-to- date
show that is filled with bright new fea-
lures is the offering.
The company is an unusually large
one and the welldrilled chorus gives
many pretty ensembles. The girls are
pretty and have good voices, while the
costumes are unique and elaborate.
"The Yankee Doodle Girl is the
burlesque, and it contains more than the
usual musical farce. It affords many
opportunities for clever work by the
comedians and traceable plot helps to
hold the interest. Clark and Fox, the
comedians, are old favorites who make
tho most Of their lines, and they keep
the audience in an uproar. Good seen
cry and electrical effects are used to adj
vantage and most of the music is new.
In the olio, Joe Goodwin, a boy of
about 10 years, takes the lead with his
monolog. His jokes are not selected
from an almanac and many Of them are
of interest locally. Frank Fisher and
Gladys Clark have an amusing comedy
sketch that takes WELL and Belts, Rey-
nolds and Fox have a musical sketch Of
merit May Butler sings illustrated
songs and has a pleasing contralto
voice. The -Four Conleys, singers and
dancers, have a unique act, and the Bar
lows thrill the audience with their dar-
ing aerial work. Moving pictures show
ing the river pirates at work closes the
speciality bill.

fact that the ~besieging army will now

an offset to the achievements Gen
