All cases against former officials of
the Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company. were today continued
over to the April term Of the district
court by Judge John, Day Smith, on
motion Of County Attorney AL J. Smith.
The prosecutor announced that owing
to a press of work in the county attor-
ney's office, and the fact that Victor j.
Welsh, attorney for W. +. Bechtel, who
will be tried first, was i'll, the state
could not move the cases this term.
Judge Robert Jamison, appearing
for W. A. Kerr, indicted for grand lar
ceny in the second degree, objected to
a continuance. He said that ever since
the arraignment Of his client last No
vennber, they had been ready and anx-
ious for an immediate trial. His OBJ
iections were overruled.
The other defendants present in court
were Elmer E. Dearth, Wallace Camp
bell, G.. w: Sackett, W. j. Bechtel. DR..
j. T. Force is in California, but his
case will likewise be continued.
It is understood that some additional
indictments against these same defend
ants were returned by the grand jury
today. The bills are said to cover other
alleged Interpretations Of the com
pany's funds, and to make cases that
the state thinks will be more suscepti-

DID A
MILE A MINUTE
BROKE RECORD FROM POULTRY
SHOW TO MILWAUKEE,.
The Show Continues to.Be Great At
traction and Pens Are Kept Clean
and Sweet-Management Will Keep
Everything in Place Till Closing Hour
Tomorrow Night.

With the weather and other flying
conditions wholly in his favor, Dana
ger, the champion 300-mile homing
pigeon Of America, made remarkable
flight from Minneapolis to Milwaukee
yesterday, cutting an hour and twenty
seven minutes off his previous record.
The bird has been an attraction at the
poultry show with other champion
homers. He was liberated at 2:45 pm.
yesterday from in front Of the Pond
building, First avenue S and Seventh
treet, where the show is now in prog
ress, and at 7:42 last evening reported
away. His actual flying time lacked
three minutes Of FIVE hours, making his
average speed for continuous flying six
ty miles an hour, a mile a minute.
When it is considered that the bird
probably made at least one stop for
rest, the record is still more phenome-
nal. 81 ~ III. . 1
Dark Horse, long-distance cham
pion, will be liberated at pm. tomor-
row, for 1,ooo-mile fight to Mobile,
Ala. This bird is the present 500 mile
record holder. In making his start
yesterday, Damager took far less time
than is usual in getting his direction.
After going straight up in the air some
distance ne made two small circles and
started off at lightning speed.
Show Kept clean.
From point Of attendance Sunday
was the largest day the show has had.
Last night and this morning a large
crew of men were engaged in cleaning
out the pens, changing the sawdust and
disinfecting. The show is just as clean,
sanitary and odorless as it was the first
day. it opened. All the litter was taken
from the coops, new sawdust put in and
the floor also has gone thru the cleans
ing process. &
The show closes tomorrow night and
the management assures the public that
it will be kept intact until 10 'closk
closing time. Not one coop, nor birC
| will be disturbed until the show ends.
The Black Langshan class was the
strongest at the show, not bird in the
class scoring less than 3d.. Some 81
them scoring as high as 81 were dis
placed. .~-. ,-...@ ...s..

TROPICAL WEATHER
PUZZLES PIONEERS
RECORDS SHOW NO DAYS LIKE
THE PAST THREE.
Reminds Qld-timers Of the Traditional
Torfid Wave That Swept Minneapolis
in '51-Ciuzens Spend Sunday in
Shade at Minnetonka Indications Of
EARLY Spring.

Prairie fires swept the present site
of Minneapolis in February of. 1851 be-
cause the preceding January had been
so sultry that the snow was entirely
melted and the grass scorched. This
statement is vouched for by R. w. Han.
son, one of the pioneer settlers in this
section.
While the present month probably
will fall short OF equaling this record,
it undoubtedly will qualify in the semi
tropical class. The weather Of the past
two days has made good as genuine
UJanuary thaw,o both by the state
ments Of the old settlers and by the
more prosaic, but more exact records
of the weather office. There have been
no really not days since 1858, when the
maximum temperature was St, and in
1856, when the mercury was 3 degrees
higher. However, the 46, ~ and 40
degree maximums scored on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday compare favor
ably with anything which has been
pulled off since the joyous days when
the Red river carts squeaked along the
trail from the north and prominent citl-
zens broke the monotony of frontier life
by shooting each other on the streets
Put Wheels On Again.
Yesterdays sunshine brought out
practically the entire population Of
Minneapolis, with its rubbers on. To-
day there has been a sudden scurry
among the drivers of delivery wagons
to get back to the wheels discarded for
runners month ago.
In the search for out-of-door recrea-
ton yesterday Excelsior was not over
looked. In anticipation Of a good Sun
day patronage the street railway COM
pany had doubled its service and ran
! two cars every hour, during the entire
day these were taxed to their utmost
capacity. One thousand people visited
| the lake. Many of the cottagers liv-
| ing around Fairview. Tonka Bay. Sol.
berg's Point, Big Island, Linwood and
Meadville took a look at their homes
and crossed the lake from Excelsior
Many Of the visitors spent the day
looking over the cottages on the "fo1
rent list. The warm weather is
