cHR1sT1ANA HOTEL, CITY
Roomers Held Him While Po-

Shortly after o'clock this morning
Officers blue and Halvorson received a
hurry up call from the Christiana
hotel, where laborer was raising a
disturbance and tearing around like
mad.
The patrolman at once obeyed the
summons, and, arriving at the hostelry
state of excitement, caused by a
roomer named Christian Libby, who,
crazed by drink and lack of food, was
tearing around the house lin lively
manner and threatening destruction to
everything and every one in sight.
Proprietor Larson of the hotel states
that Libby attempted to leap from the
third story window to the ground, a
distance of almost 40 feet, and to pre-
vent the act, he and roomer at the
hotel grappled with Libby and held
him until the arrival of the police.
The unfortunate man now lies on
cot in the city Jail. He Is feeling
better than he did last night. Libby is
employed as mortar mixer at the
Great Northern roundhouse being
erected near the city limits, and is
said to be a faithful workman and a
good man in every particular, save
that he INDUCES too freely in strong
drink. He has been on a protracted
spree for several days, and during
this time the proprietor of the hotel
says he has hardly tasted food. This
lack of nourishment and the action
of the liquor upon his nerves, slightly
unbalanced him and he raised rough
house.
During the day at the police station
the man has remained quiet. He has
eaten several hot sandwiches and he
seems to be resting easy.
Libby offered no resistance to arrest
when the police took him in tow, but
seemed to realize his pitiful condition
and knew he was getting into good
hands. He will probably be released
tonight if his condition warrants such
action. He promises not to repeat
the attempt at self-destruction.

ORDER PLACED FOR RAILROAD MEN

Cold weather will not put a stop to
work on the Duluth. Rainy Lake &
Winnipeg railways extension to the
international boundary. Men are now
being hired on the understanding that
they will be kept busy all winter on
certain parts of the line. if such is
manner in which the contract is being
rushed may be taken an order for
large number of laborers, placed yes
terday with local company.
Crews are working from both ends
of the extension. A few weeks a3o
large gang of laborers started on
the upper end. The number being hired
in this city are being sent to Pelican
Lake, and will work northward from
there. Within week or two about 700
men will be employed on the contract.
1t will be impossible to have trains
running into International Falls be-
fore the end of the year. hut the finish
ing touches will probably be put on the
extension early next summer
The demand for men for railroad
construction work in western Mime
sofa, North Dakota and some of the
other western states and Manitoba con-
tinues heavy. The present cold
weather will drive good many lab
orers to this city and greatly relieve
the labor situation. 1t is expected.
Men are returning from the west In
increasing numbers now. 1t has been
found necessary TO provide several
extra coaches on the regular trains
running from MinOt to Grand Forks,
to accommodate the wOOdsmen and
railroad laborers. In some instances
two and three extra coaches to a
train are needed to take care of the
heavy travel.
The new trains which were put ON
the Great Northern on Sunday help to
a considerable extent In relieving the
traffic situation.

kEMMARE MAN SANDBAGCED
+. w. Amsler, Victims Of THUGS. I'm.
conscious for Past Week.

Was F. w. Amsler, manager of the
kenmare Electric Light Co. the VIC
tim OF thugs? This is a question that
has caused much wonderment since
ne was found lying in the street in a
state of Inconsistencies.
Circumstantial evidence indicates
that he was hit over the head with
sani-bag by a thug, who committed
the deed for the sole purpose of Oh
tanning what money he might have had
upon his person.
Mr.. Amsler had left his home. a
distance Of about two blocks from
where he was found, in a single rig.
intending to drive to the power house
According to Mrs. Amsler he had not
Deen away more than half an hour
before she was informed of the &C.
currence. The unconscious man was
found by J. H. Grady. He was re-
turning home from the country and in
driving through the street in front of
his residence. the horses shyed and as
soon as he placed them in the barn he
hastened to the place to learn as to
what the object was. Naturally he
was greatly alarmed and notified sew
eral neighbOrs, who assisted in get
ting Mr.. Amsler to his home. A small
mark over the left ear was the only
bruise noticeable. which would in
dictate nothing other than blow from
sandbag. The horse which Mr.. ANS
Ter was driving had returned to the
barn and the rig was in perfect con.
dition, with exception of the seat,
which had been loose, being gone
This was later found near where the
supposed deed was committed.
Strong evidence Of hold-up is
given by the fact that nothing what
ever remained in the pockets of his
clothing. 1t is not known whether he
had any money on his person at the
time or not.
Mr.. Amsler has been under constant
watch since the occurrence, and, al
though he shows improvement. con-
seriousness has not been restored.
There is at this time, positively no
clue upon which the police may labor
that the perpetrator may be given
what he deserves.

WHAT THE RETAIL MARKETS AFFORD
Oyster "Pigs" Coming Into Favor
Apples From SOC to $3.50,

Northern Sap apples $3.50 a box.
Fancy Ganos 80 cents a bushel.
Cranberries, 3 quarts for 25 cents.
Ounces. 40 cents a dozen.
Sweet potatoes, 25 cents for 6 lbs.
Fresh eggs, q cents a dozen.
Oysters, 60 cents quart.
Oyster stew and oysters with a hot
and appetizing cocktail sauce and oys-
tiers fried and oysters scalloped are
common occurrences, but oysters so
arranged that they are called pigs in
blankets are one of the delicacies Of
which most people just read. The
ladies who conduct pages for practical
help for housewives always tell how
to arrange pigs in blankets and that
is such an attractive and imaginative
title that even though one should hap
pen not to care especially for oysters,
this sort of an announcement would
induce one to eat. The method of pro-
cedure is as follows: You wash and
dry the oysters, you wrap each one
tenderly in delicate strip of break
fast bacon fastened with large jewel
ed button which are so much worn
this autumn-nO. no. no. what is
meant is, you fasten it with nice lit
tie toothpick. That is the pig in the
blanket. Imagination? Rather. You
sprinkle them with pepper, you dip
them in melted butter and you broil
them. And the bacon melts and drips
and the gills of the oysters turn up in
shivers of appreciative ecstacy and the
ladylike amount to each person is
four. The market department has
never tasted them thus arranged. but
there is no getting around the fact
that they sound good.
Oysters are 60 cents a quart. but
blue points just for serving on cracked
ice with sprinkle of lemon Juice and
little sympathetic sauce are % cents
q dozen.

HAD MILO CASE Of
INTELLECTUAL
WHEELS
Sheriff A. F. Turner Has a
Peculiar Case on His
Hands
H. SCHILLER ORPHANED.
Deputy Taking Him to St. Paul
Deserts Ward in This
City.

Henry Schiller, who seems to be
suffering from a mild case of intel
lectual wheels, landed in this city last
night from Rolla and was left strand
ed by an officer who he claims ac-
companied him this far on his way TO
st. Paul. The story which Schiller
tells is that he was employed on the
Great Northen extension beyond St.
John, and that he stated his case to
the custom officials and they issued
pass over the Great Northern to St.
Paul, and that he was placed in charge
of man named Gus. Turner, who was
to accompany him to this city. ana
secure some one here to go on with
him to st. Paul. The deputy, failing
in this, was to accompany him all the
way himself.
The custom house pass story shows
that the fellow is off.
The party arrived in this city On the
evening train last night and went to
the Palace hotel, where they registered
and were assigned to a room. Schil-
Ter retired and claims that Turner was
to occupy the same room He also
stated that if he secured man to go
on to ST. Paul, he would return to
Rolla on the train. last night. Schil-
Ter did not awaken for the early morn
ing train. and when he did rouse up,
Turner was not to be found and had
not occupied the room.
Schiller waited till the noon train,
thinking that his guard would show
up, but not doing so, he laid the matter
before the sheriff. He claims that
Turner has the pass and that he is
left stranded.
There is something mysterious about
the matter, as the sheriff's Office called
mp Rolla and verified the statement
that the man left there in the custody
of deputy Whether or not it was
the intention to leave Schiller at this
point is not known, and what has be-
come of the deputy, Turner is also
unknown The matter is being investi-
gated by the Sheriff Turner.

A Down EAST FARMER.

Here IL the story OF down east
farmer. When lie married he took his
fathers old farm, which had been ip
the family for hundred years. He
did his best to make it pay, but the
sins of the fathers were visited in an
agricultural way upon the children Of
the third and fourth generations, and,
work and plan as best he could, he
could wrest from the poor. exhausted
soil nothing but bare living. At forty
years OF age he concluded that he had
had enough and moved to the west,
securing homestead four years ago
in one of the newly opened Indian
reservations. In four short years he
has made himself the owner free Of
debt, of 800 acres OF as fertile and
productive land as can anywhere be
found. He has good home, fine bullG
ings and his income from his farm, ba1
sides his living, of over $4,000 per yeaF
The funny thing about this Is that
when he goes down east to his old
home and tells his old nelghbors how
well he Is doins, they think he is lying.
and, as for coming west and like
wise benefitlng themselves, no argu.
ment will bulge them all inch, so wed;
ded are they to their old environment
and traditions.

The soft maple tree for prairie pts a
ing possesses two distinct merits-onf
Is it will grow and do well more closl
ly planted than any other tree, thl
trees seldom dying out by oveferowdl
ing; then 1t seems proof against the
tramplng of stock, something which I'M
sures the death of most other varieties
of forest trees. We know Of large
feed yard where 100 cattle or more are
fed each season, and in this yard is a
grove of soft naples planted about ten
feet apart. The tramping and the
shade prevent the growth of any grass
or. vegetation under the trees, and
these trees are perfectly healthy and
from thirty to forty feet in height.
Had these trees been of any other va
riety three-fourths Of them would have
been dead long ago. Besides this, the
maple is a very rapid grower, affords
a fuel of the best quality of any of our
soft woods, and If one has enough trees
they may be very successfully and
profitably tapped for sugar In the
spring Of the year, and no nicer flavor
ed sugar was ever made than that
made from the sap of the soft maple
tree. The more that we see of this
tree the more we are convinced that
for northwestern conditions 1t Is one
of the best trees to plant

OUTDOOR Fon THE FARMER.

The new year opens auspiciously for
the farmers of the country. Crops have
been good and the general level Of
prices for all farm products very salts
factory. Money Is abundant and in
terest rates low. There Is more gen
eral attempt TO apply science to agri-
culture than ever before, and 1t Is be-
ing done with marked success. 1t
touches the breeding of animals, ami
NAL diseases, crop rotation, drainage,
irrigation, the storage and marketing
Of farm products, cooperative efforts
among farmers. The new year finds
most farm homes connected with the
outside world by rural mail delivery
and telephone and broader field Of
effort opened to every man who tills
the soil. Not the least important and
significant thing Is that more men than
ever before are beginning to realize
what an intelligent and scientific work
ing and care of small piece Of land
can accomplish and how such work
may be made to materially increase In
comes none too large While foods,
droughts, elemental destruction and un.
profitable markets may conspire to re-
-duce the farm income 1t Is still true
that Eever before has the average
farmer been SO well prepared to meet
such misfortunes.
