because there are only six
youngsters left to attend it. and the
district commissioners cannot figure
out how they can afford to pay a
teacher for the education of half doz,
en- children. So the pupils have been
transferred to the Franklin school at
Robertsdale, a mile away.
Two years ago there were 140 rr-

of burglary, won her suit for tn COL
lection of her husbands life insurance
in the Ramsey county district court
Yesterday. The suit was brought
against the Ancient Order Of Forest
ers to collect $1,000, payment OF which
had been refused on the ground that
there was no positive proof that the
insured was actually dead. The jury
returned a verdict for the full amount
with interest.
The defense also sought to avoid
payment on technical grounds. 1t
evidently thought it had things well In
hand for at the close of the plaintiff's
testimony a motion for dismissal was
made It was denied by Judge Kelly
and the case turned over to the jury
which returned it's verdict In about

til he became unconscious. Midship-
man Hewlett was called. He said that
if he testified to what he saw he
would incriminate himself, as the law
says that anyone who witnesses haz-
ing is guilty of nazing. He was told
that he would not incriminate himself
and he then described the scene of
Kimbrough standing on his head sur
rounded by others. Kimbrough could
not identify the defendant as the
one who stood him on his head. The
cadet showed the court how he stood
on his head, performing the athletic

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Dec. 2S.-Secretary
Shaw this morning said that Walsh
would not be prosecuted criminally so
far as his department is concerned. He
said the depositors were fully protect
ed and the treasury department looks
out for depositors, not for the stock
holders. The latter were warned. The
bank was warned not to loan over 10
per cent of it's deposits to one per-
son. The secretary declared that it is
the custom among bankers to violate
this rule. The department is continu-

The secretary refused to talk fl

cided to deposit money in New York
he would let everybody know.

Shot, He Gets Only the Gun.

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Dec. 2s.-
When Roy B. Taylor recovered a
judgment for $1,000 against Arthur
Broderson. who accidentally snot him
while they were hunting together, he
little thought that his recovery would
be the gun which shot him.
The judgment was rendered by the
state district court on Nov. 20. Today
Broderson filed bankruptcy petition
with the clerk of the United States
district court. The judgment was list
ed as the only Indebtedness. Cloth
ing valued at $75 was listed as assets
in one part of the schedule and
claimed as exempt in another.
the only unprotected item was zone
shotgun, 12-bore, Winchester, $15."
Broderson may or may not have ap-
preciated the irony of this, as the
weapon is the one which got him into
trouble.
