The shooting of King apparently was

woods. Suddenly Beauhart heard a noise
and saw moving object. His gun came
to his shoulder and he fired The NOV

CLAIMED BY NORTnFIELD.
Football championship Of Southern
Minnesota Token BY Highs.

Northfield, Nov. 26.-The high school
team of this city claims the champion
ship of southern Minnesota in the high
school class by virtue of having defeated
Saturday the Mankato team by score
OF IA to IL. The championship title, if
there is such an honor, is cinched by
Pillsbury academy having defeated Blue
Earth, and Mortified having already de-
feated Pillsbury. The Blue Earth team
is regarded as one of the strongest in
southern Minnesota.
In the game the Mortified team used
the new method of play exclusively and
Mankato used the old. Roy PAYNE
coached the Aankato team and Mr..
Wright looked after the Mortified lads.
Mortified was handicapped somewhat by
not having the regular quarterback.
Z he winners scored on two touchdowns
and field goal, and Mankato scored
OIL two tonchdowns which resulted in
kicked goals.

HAVE MEN on THE ROAD.
New Phase Of the Catalogue House
Business.

st. Cloud Times: The catalogue house
business is considered by the local mcr-
chants a menace to his business. Some
vi the grocers of this city have been IN
formed that these concerns are branch
ing out in different manner now which
means even IL much greater menace. 1t
has been reported that there are travel
ing men out for some of these catalogue
houses and they drive through the
country districts and sell direct to the
farmer. They give premiums with every
So worth of goods sold and these prem
ums are such that the farmers i'll many
instances Jump at the bargain. 1t is
GAINED that the goods sent out are OF
an inferior quality, of course, but this
does not make any difference Thous
ands of dollars of goods have been sold
in this manner, especially in Benton
county.

ROUGH SEA VOYAGE.
L. p. Hunt Tells Of Stormy Trip
From Alaska

'SbV e<oSkd
+. w. Hunt has received "A letter from
his brother, l.. p. Hunt dated at Seat
tie, Wash, Nov. Is, the following being
portion of it: arrived here yester-
day morning and found everything
flooded all along the sound. No trains
running in any direction and almost ev-
crything in the way of tclegraphic COM
munication cut Off The hotels are all
full and no way for people to get in or
out except by water. We had the worst
trip that | ever experienced 1t took
us eight days to make the run that is
ordinarily made in four. We lay at an
Choir at different points en- route for
fifty-siX hours, and in trying to cross
Milbank sound we were forced to turn
back and run up the channel thirty
miles for anchorage When we did fin
ally cross, it was a rock-a baby ex-
pcrience, YOU bet One night out we
were six hours in making nineteen
miles, when in ordinary weather and sea
we would have covered the distance in
an hour and forty-fve minutes While
we were not seasick q never get that
way) I confess that lny nerves were
not as composed as is their wont, and
/ was indeed glad when we finally
reached port. Brought down 5000 cases
of salmon and still have left at the can
merry like number, which the next
steamer will bring down.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Patterson and
Miss Iva arrived on the Dakota from
their trip to Japan on Friday, and left
for California today. 1t is hard to tell
Just when they will get through, as the
train service between here and Portland
is still out Of commission, but the COM
pany agrees to get passengers out OF
Tacoma Monday | did not see Mr.. p.
and only know that he was here
through Harry Shaubut. He did not
leave the Dakota, as the hotels are all
full and no accommodations could be
had for her passengers.
We expect to leave here about the
25th. 1t may be day later, | cannot
tell definitely at this time.
whats the matter with John Johnson
and Winfield Scott Hammond! Have
they hypnotized the republicans of Min
nesota and the second district? My first
information on the result was CLEANED
from the Free Press on arriving in Seat
tie, and | was surprised beyond express
sion to learn of the landslide To have
heard of ,Johnson's election by a small
majority would have been little or no
surprise, but to read that he had rolled
up $4,000 or $4,000 majority was almost
unbelievable. And to find that the old
second district that has been the grave
yard of democratic hopes, had "trun
down" McCleary, made me almost be-
lieve that seven months habitation
among the Indians, followed by a rough
sea voyage, had put my mental facui-i
ties out of commission. But every dark
cloud has its silver lining. Both john
son and Hammond are men of charac-
ter and ability, and if they are unable
to accomplish much they can be de-
pended upon to do the best they can"
