CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
M an Named O'Erien Taken for Rev
Ednnands in Winnipeg.

Wahpeton, n. d., Feb 3.-The recent
Identification of Rev. L. NJ. Edmands
the missing Wahpeton clergyman, by {
person in Winnipeg, is believed b!
friends of Edmands to have been a cas-,
of mistaken identity. They say that {
man named O'Brien, who formerly con
Quoted store here, and who left this
place about the time of Mr.. Edmands
disappearance, bore Il striking resem
blance to the clergyman.
1t is reported that O'Brien recently
has been in Winnipeg, and it is supposed
that the writer of the letter saw
OBrien, and learning that he was from
Wahpeton, at once jumped to the con
clusion that he was the missing minis
ter. At any rate, nothing more has beer
heard from the writer of the letter anC
it is believed he has discovered his mis-
take.
The disappearance of the clergyman
remains as deep a mystery as ever, ant
is furnishing a fine field for many anna
teur sleuths who daily are advancing
new theories. 1t is generally believed
however, that the minister was drown
ed in the Red river and that his body
will be recovered when the ice goes out

Interesting Second Chapter in
Sager-Anderson Marriage.
BOYS PAPA is QUITE GAMY.
He Will Stand Pat for His Son; Girl
Admits That She Ran Away;
Sens atiOnaI Incidents.

Fairmont, Feb. 3.-The story of the
elopement of Bertha Anderson and
Frank Sager has now all come to the
public ear. The bride and groom and
the groom's papa have returned to Fair
mont. Sheriff Ward was on hand at the
depot with a warrant and placed both
father and son under arrest on charge
of abduction. They were taken before
Judge Wade and the hearing adjourned
to Feb. 8, and bail fixed for the two in
the sum of $1,000, which they secured.
Mr.. Anderson says that his daughter
and young Sager became so intimate
that he forbid the boy coming to his
house. Tuesday night his daughter did
not come home. He learned that she
was at Sager's and at late hour went
there after her and was ordered away
and threatened by the Sagers; that she
was concealed about the Sager house,
and at 2 a. m. the boy and girl, accom-
panied by the boys father, drove to
Granada with a livery team and the
three took the morning train for La
Crosse, where the true ages of the young
people were given and owing to their
tender years a license to marry was re-
fused. They then went to Winona, rep
resented themselves as of proper age, Sc
cured a license and were married. They
returned to La Crosse and stayed there
that night and came home Thursday as
above stated.
When the sheriff took the two men in
charge the young girl went to the Sager
home. Mr.. Anderson, her father, and
County Attorney Palmer, so it is report
manded The girl. Mrs. Sager refused
to let the girl go and quite an uproar
occurred, a young boy going so far as
to bring out a large revolver and point
it at ore of the men.
OF this trouble at the Sager house
your correspondent is able to gain but
little information, but the result. was
that Mr.. Anderson got his daughter and
it is said she went home willingly.
The young girl confessed everything
to he' father and the county attorney.
Abduction of a girl under sixteen for
the purpose of marriage is serious of
Tense in the sight of the state laws and
may be punished by a sentence of five
years in the penitentiary.
The Sagers have retained Allen &
Wart i'm their defense.
The affair has created good deal of
gossip in this city.

SHE IS DECLARED GUILTY
Blanche Millions Case Before Court
in La Crosse.

La Crosse, Feb 6.-Blanche Milton is
guilty. While she was safe in Mime
sofa, the case of the state against
blanche E. Milton, vagrancy, was taken
up i'll Circuit court before Judge Fruit
yesterday and a jury of twelve men, af-
ter listening to weighty law problems
and small amount of evidence, declar-
ed the absent girl guilty. That was all
was no defendant to sentence.
1t makes the second time she was de-
clared guilty. She was declared guilty
before Judg Brindley, and then releas-
ed on writ of habeas corpus signed by
Court Commissioner Prentiss. Then she
was arrested again and again released
on habeas corpus proceedings by the
same justice.
Though she was beyond prosecution.
the case was taken into the Circuit
court for twelve men and a magistrate
to ponder over and in course of severa
hours she was found guilty again.
Judge Fruit overruled motion to
dismiss the case. 1t was made by At
torney A. f. Bleekman, Jr., on grount
that until the action of the court com
missioner had been reviewed and the
writ declared void, no prosecution coulc
be conducted on the original charge.
Later Judge Fruit granted motion

BACK TO HIS HOLE.
TTrgt
Grounding Viii Remain in Hiding Six
Weeks; Wise Animal

st. Paul, Feb. 5.-The ground hog
knows his business, and he has the rec
ords of the st. Paul weather bureau &c
back him up. So it is no laughing mat
ter that the ground hog saw his shadow
last Friday. lie is back in his hole for
six weeks more of cold weather.
For the records of the weather bureau
show that during the last ten years the
ground hog has hit it nine times out of
the ten.
It was on Feb. 2, 1898, that the
ground hog slipped up. The record shows
that it was a bright sunny day, SO &C
cording to the ground hog it was due to
be cold. But the record shows that such
a warm spell followed that February
accumulated 1871 degrees above the nor
NAL average for the month and March
220 degrees above the normal.
The only Feb. of the ten when it
was so cloudy he could not see his sha-
dow at all was that of 1897. True to
the prophecy it was exceptionally warm
throughout the early part of the month,
running So above the average February
temperature. The early part of March
also was warm.
In 1905 the sunshine record shows the
second day of February was a clear day.
The temperature for the month ran ll2
degrees below normal and the chilly
weather continued through March.
Ground hog day" 1904 was also
sunny, according to the sunshine chart.
February ran down to 2S7 degrees be-
low the total average February temper
atures.
Forty-fve degrees below the average
was the accumulated score of the Feb
ruary temperatures for 1908, which was
natural in view of the fact that the
ground hog cast clear shadow on the
second. March shows a similar record.
In 1902 it was partly cloudy most Of
the day. 1t was pretty hard to tell
whether the shadow was really visible
OF not. Hence the weather following was
sort of compromise. The early part
of the month was very cold, but about
the 10th it moderated so fast as to make
the average for the month a little above
normal.
Feb. 2 of 1901, 1900 and 1899 were all
pleasant days. In each case the weather
following was exceptionally cold, con
tinuing on into March. In 1900, Febru
lry ran 307 below normal, and in 1892
233 below. March for 1899 totaled 3l5
degrees less than the March total aver
age. For the first year of the ten a
peculiar situation again is found The
day was mainly cloudy, though for
about an hour late in the afternoon, if
the prophetic animal had CHANGED to be
out, he might have seen his shadow. The
temperature for the rest of the month
ran l53 above the average, but March
was a cold month again.

nothing but refusals to handle its grain,
and found itself efrectually shut out of
the Duluth market.
Certain of the rules of the board fix
complete scale of commissions, and
heavy fines and severe punishments are
provided for any infraction thereof.
These rules not only constrain members
of the board to abide by them, but
obligate members to boycott any non
member who does not abide by them to
the letter. In fact, under the circum-
stances existing at Duluth, it is hard to
imagine more perfect, complete and eff
fectual mechanism for controlling the
grain market at that city than that
which has been devised and put in opera
ton by the Duluth board and its mem
bers.
"The complaint sets forth the facts as
they are alleged to be by the Farmers
the Duluth market. 1t also sets forth
the bylaws which are claimed to be in
unlawful restraint of trade. 1t is then
alleged that the board constitutes an ar
rangement, agreed and conspiracy
intended to and actually tending to linn
it, interfere with and destroy open and
free competition in the purchase and sale
of grain and produce on the Duluth mar
ket. For these reasons, the complaint
asks that the board and its officers be
restrained from continuing their unlaw
full restraint of and interference with
competition on the Duluth market and
that the board of trade, which is a cor
portation, be dissolved, its corporate
privileges and franchises be declared for
feited and its business wound up and dis
posed of as provided by law.
''This is the second suit instituted UNI
der the state antitrust law by Attor-
ney General Young and Assistant Attor
ney General Stone, the first action be-
ing the Lowry Elevator store case, COM
menced in November last"
The demand for the forfeiture of the
boards charter is based principally on
its bylaws, which prescribe fine of
not less than 81 900 or more than S.,
600 for violations of the rule which for
bids dealings with any other board or
exchange or members of the same whose
scale of commissions are less than that
prescribed by the Duluth board.
The rules are irOn-clad in their word
ing and practically limit the board mem
bers to dealings only with those recog-
nized by the directors. Others are abso-
lutely shut out from the Duluth market.
