Additional Local News

In speaking OF the case of Ewers
VS. Alma Sugar Co, recently tried in
the circuit court of this county, the
Gratiot County Journal said: The
case of Melville Ewers versus the
Alma Sugar company, which was in
part heard in court last week, was
amicably settled out of court, after
witnesses for plaintiff had been heard.
The facts of the case were, in brief,
these : Mr. Ewers was employed in
1904 by the Alma Sugar company as
teamster. Along in September of that
year he was engaged in cleaning away
rubbish on the south side of the fac
tory, preparatory to scraping coal
away from the side track and toward
the building. While thus engaged
some one pitched 2x4 scantling from
the fifth story of the building, where
some repairs and changes were being
made, the scantling striking Mr..
Ewers on the head and knocking him
hONli' w NIT mus plOSli dltu, al
other scantling, a AKA, came down
and struck him across the body, in
licting serious injuries This was, of
course, accidental, but the company
was held to be liable for negligence.
Mr.. Ewers brought suit, and after
hearing the testimony, as before
stated, the company offered to pay
him $4,000, and give him a permanent
job as day Waterman at the factory.
The company had already paid the
cost of Mr.. Ewer's sickness and treat
ment, making in all paid by the com
pany about $4,000, besides giving him
a steady job.
The attorneys, John T. Mathews
and George p. Stone, express them
selves as highly pleased with the fair
and honest treatment awarded their
client by the Alma Sugar company |
And il corporations have no souls, the |
constituting this company,
at least have souls, and have shown
themselves human and humane.
The Sugar company was protected
by surety bond, and the settlement
was made by the Sugar company and
Surety company

back to their homes Monday, after
having spent twenty-four hours in
waiting to hear that Madison had
sunk and been engulfed by the thrush
of the waters Of the surrounding
lakes. The prophecy of religious
negro exhorter, which created conster
nation among certain residents. did
not come true. He declared that the
lakes would rise up and engulf the
city. The man who made the predic-
ton called himself Rev. Prof. Jones"
He held religious meetings on the
streets and was arrested for obstruct-
ing traffic. Then he cursed the city
and made the prediction. Newspapers
took up the matter and hundreds of
persons Saturday night left the city.
There was no disturbance Sunday.
The people went to summer parks,

six.YEAR-oLD GIRL is HEROINE.
Saves Fifteen-year-oId Sister From

Saves Fifteen-year-oid Sister From
Death by Burning.
Six-year-old Violet Peterson by her
courage and GOODNESS saved from an
awful death ner fifteen-yearold sister
Adelia. The latter is now in the hos
pital, suffering from terrible burns,
which resulted from an explosion OF
kerosene. Her condition is critical,
but there is some hope Of her ultimate
recovery. Adelia would have been
burned to death as she lay helpless
on the kitchen floor had not Violet,
following her elder sisters 1nstruc-
lions implicitly, succeeded in extln-
gushing the flames.
Alone with Violet and their little
sister of four, Adelia was keeping
house during the absence of the par
ents, who reside on a claim four miles
east of Peterson In starting the fire
Adelia thoughtlessly poured kerosene
on the smoldering brands. The slug
gish fame smoked for a few minutes
and the girl leaned over the stove to
enliven the blaze There was sud
den puff and sheet of flame burst
into her face and set her light cloth
ing on fire.
A mass of flames, the girl ran to
bed room and Selling blanket wrap
ped herself in it, hoping thus TO
smother the fire. She then staggered
into the kitchen, vaguely realizing
that both that room and the bedroom
were in flames. She lay on the floor
and rolled in an agony of pain, the
fire having burned the clothing from
her breast and neck and scared her
body, face and arms.
Calling Violet, who stood mute and
dazed at the awful thing that had hap
pened to her sister, she gave the lit
tie one instructions to throw water
over herself, on the stove and about
the room The little one did not hesl-
tate an instant, but with the courage
of a grown person started in to light
the flames. Time and again she filled
her little bucket at the we'll and threw
the water where the flames were the
f1ercest The little one was almost
exhausted, but stuck to her task until
the fire was reduced to a smudge.
Adelia, enveloped in cloud OF
steam and badly eaten by the fire,
then directed her sister to go to the
home of a neighbor, quarter of a
mile away, and secure help. This VIC
let did, and with the assistance OF
neighbors the injured girl was
brought to the hospital in Carney-W.

POsTOfFICts ROBBERS PREY
EVIDENCE OF WELL-ORGANiZED
BAND OF cRAcksMEN IN
NORTH DAKOTA.

Crookston, Mimi, July 4.-David
Altman, chief of detectives for the
Great Northern, and M P. Delaney,
division detective, held a conference
here over the robbery of the Great
Northern depot at Cando and of the
postoffice at Bisbee the same evening.
The secret service men are of the
opinion that band of five '..yeggmen"
(safeblowers) Is operating IN the
northern towns of North Dakota, and
steps are being taken to effect the cap
ture of the gang. Two men are under
arrest at Devils Lake on suspicion of
being concerned in one of the numer-
Gus robberies that have occurred dur
ing the past ten weeks. One of these
suspects has lost the tips of two fin
gers and the thumb of his right hand
and also has a fresh wound in his right
leg, which might have been made by
bullet, but which he says was caused
by the premature explosion of per
cussion cap. The men under arrest
give the names of julius Martin and
George Dickey. They were arrested
by Special Agents Delaney and Grit
fifth.
There have been ten postoffice rob-
berries in North Dakota in the past ten
weeks.

MRS. FAIR LOSES CASE.

Her Divorce DisalIowed and the Ac-
tion Is Dismissed.
In the case Of Victoria Farr VS.. Jo-
seph Farr, former asemblyman, tried
in the circuit court for Chippewa
county, Judge Vinje has decided all
the points in the case In favor of the
defendant. Mrs. Fairs divorce is dis
allowed and the case dismissed. A de-
cision has not been filed, but Attorney
Wickham of Eau Claire has been SO
informed.
The original complaint was filed in
the circuit court in November, 1905.
but did not come up for trial. Mrs.
Farr sought a divorce on the charge
Of cruel and inhuman treatment. In
1906 an amended complaint was filed.
The case occupied the attention OF
the court sixteen days and jury
three nights. The evidence produced
by the plaintiff tended to show that
the defendant had been intimate with
a woman named Dora Kennedy.
The defendant set up that the cause
of the trouble between himself and
wife originated in an anonymous letter
which he claimed was sent by the al
legged timber thieves on the Cass Lake
reservation to get even with him for
his work in bringing them to justice.
Mr.. Farr refused to answer ques-
lions at the examination at Phillips
and Judge Vinje submitted them to
the jury, which relieved the defend
ant. Mrs, Farr then continued the
case on the original complaint.-W.

Ernest Bright made the discovery
He saw a part of skull protrudlng
from the damp earth. and after dig
ging a few feet below the surface
the spinal column and other bones
were found. Trempealeau citizens
say the bones are either those Of an
Indian of unusual size or Of mound
builder, which archaeological re-
searches have proved lived in the vi
cinity of TremDealeau.
The latter theory is more generally
accepted because of the array OF
stone implements found with the
bones. Chief among these was stone
ak in perfect condition, many arrow
heads and stone knives.
A clay oven was found imbedded in
the dirt It is composed of whitish
clay which somewhat resembles soap
stone, though Of a softer composition.
Many dishes of blackish cast, and
made of peculiar stone, were also
found.
Several interested persons are max
ing excavations in the vicinity of the
find, believing the vicinity to be rich
in the lore of the mound builders.
