Comnany GInsnected

Lieut.. Col. VIM. Gerlach, U. S.
army, retired, who is the inspection
officer of the national guard for the
State, was in Princeton last Friday
and inspected Company G. There
were ffty-seven members of the COM
pany out for inspection and they made
a fine appearance, so much so that the
colonel had to compliment them quite
highly. He stated that there was no
company in the whole State that made
a better appearance, not excepting the
city companies.
Col. Gerlach is one of the veterans
of the regular army, and next year
will complete his fifty years of contin-
uance service for Uncle Sam. He has
a warm place in his heart for the ma
tional guard and says that any young
man is much better off by having been
a member of that military organiza-
ton.

Excessive Ditch Assessments.

Mike Mahoney went to Elk River
Monday to consult with the county
powers that be regarding the assess
ment made against forty acres of land
which comes in the benefit limits of the
proposed Blue Hill drainage ditch.
MIR. Mahoney says that he has been
assessed 5000 by the board of viewers
who think that the benefits to the piece
of land will be worth that amount,
but the owner says that he will not
stand for any such assessment. It is
said that some pieces of land along
the route of the proposed ditch have
been assessed as high as 500 per acre,
and the owners of the land are much
worked up over the excessive ASSESS
ments, and have protested long and
loud and the county commissioners of
Sherburne county will have the board
of viewers ''guess again. The high
est assessment made against any land
assessed in the town of Greenbush for
the Greenbush ditch was ST per acre.

Foreston Residence Burns.


The residence of M. G. Northway at
Foreston caught fire in very myster-
ious manner at 2:3O O'Clock last Mon
day morning and burned to the ground
with contents. Mr.. Northway was
awakened by a noise over head and
getting up he discovered that the
house was on fire under the roof and
was getting a good start. He quickly
dressed and went to Geo.. Deans
house which is close by and gave the
alarm. Other neighbors were aroused,
but there was little that could be done
to save the property as there was
nothing at hand to stop the progress
of the flames which had gained quite a
Roadway. Some of the furniture was
saved but the house was a total loss.
It was two-and-a-half story house
of ten rooms and was built some years
ago by c. W. VanWormer who after
wards sold it to Mr.. Northway. The
house was insured for $1,000 and
household goods for $500. Guy Ewing
had the insurance on the property.

EIGHT-DAY ENCAMPMENT.

Malta Boys Have Two Less Days In
Camp This Year.
Adjutant General Wood has decided
that the annual encampment at Lake
City of the national guard this year
would have to be cut from ten to eight
days and set the date of June IL as the
opening day for the encampment.
The First regiment which is stationed
in the twin cities, will leave for camp
first and will break camp June 20.
The Third regiment will follow
about June 81 and will break camp
about July l. No definite date has
been set for the Second regiment and
the artillery, both of which will go
into camp together, but their date will
be soon after July I, so that the en-
campment this year will be completed
by about July Is.
In order to make the national guard
comply with the Dick bill, General
Wood has found it necessary to cut
the camp one week by taking two days
from each of the three regiments.
During the next two years nine new
companies must be established in
Minnesota, which will cost $47, 900.

fish the companies," said General

EMPLOYEES WILL
BE TRIED BY JUDGE BRENTS
TOMORROW.
Prosecution Asks for Further Time
Asserted That Principal Witness
Was Out Of the City.

Owing to the absence of Mrs. N. E.
Koontz, one of the star witnesses for
the prosecution in the perjury cases
brought against eight guards and en-
ployes of the state penitentiary, the
trials set for this morning were post
poned until 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon, provided Mrs. Koontz, who is on
her homestead in Franklin county, can
be reached with subpoena and can
arrive in Walla Walla in time.
The hearings were set for 10 o'clock
this morning and at that time Attor-
retained by the accused men to defend
them and C. B. Woods, captain of the
guards, one of the penitentiary en-
ployes against whom information had
been filed was on hand. He was ac-
companied by Warden A. F. KEGS.
The state was represented by Prose-
cutting Attorney Wilson and Oscar
Cain. Attorney Cain asked that the
cases be continued until Friday morn
ing as Mrs. Koontz, one of the princi-
pal witnesses, was out of the city. He
promised that she would be on hand
to testify at that time. Attorney
Sharpstein objected, stating that his
clients wanted an immediate trial and
requested that the court sit as the
committing magistrate. Judge Brents
demurred a little to the procedure eX-
pressing the opinion that the cases
should take the ordinary course that
other criminal cases do. Attorney
Sharpstein said he thought that the
accused men would be cleared of the
charges at a preliminary examination.
He hardly thought it just and proper
that his clients should be compelled to
wait until the next regular term of the
superior court before being brought to
trial.
Judge Brents finally consented to sit
on the case. The opposing attorneys
then held a conference, finally decid-
ing to set the hearing tomorrow after
noon.
