AN EXPENSIVE STAMP
Dr. Mckee Of Benson Pays Dearly for
uusing 2-cent Postage Stamp
That Was Cancelled.

Because O. W. Mckee, veterinary
surgeon OF Benson, MIMI, tried to
save himself the price of one 2-cent
postage stamp, he will be out about
Sl25 in fines and expenses, and the
United States government has already
expended approximately $3.50 to bring
him to trial, making the cost of a
2-cent economy at least 1915.
DIR. Mckee manufactures and sells
horse liniment in Benson. He sends
out circulars proclaiming the healing
power of his mixture to farmers in all
parts of the northwest, and postage is
one OF his heaviest items of expense
The poorly cancelled stamps on the
letters of reply coming in to him from
fourth-class post Offices proved too
much OF temptation, and he fell.
Postmaster Mons Hauge of Benson
noticed that the stamps on the doc
tors outgoing mail were slightly
faded, and he resolved on little
quiet sleuthing.
Selecting particularly intact stamp
on the doctors incoming mail, he put
his private> mark on it and waited
microscope in hand. Soon the same
stamp came along, going out. Post
master Hauge telegraphed to st. Paul.
Soon Inspector Davis appeared, and
the case against the doctor was COM
plete. His examination before a
United States commissioner at Fergus
Falls and his Indictment by the feder-
al grand jnry, which finished it's work
yesterday afternoon, followed.
DR.. Mckee was arraigned and asked
to be allowed to defer his plea till
Monday, the understanding with the
district attorneys Office being that he
would go back to Benson and raise
the amount Of his fine, which will be
800 at the minimum. MINNEAPOLIS

Composed Song.

Hello, Grandpa" is the title of a
pretty little song, lately issued, with
words by Mrs. J. E. Leslie, of Will
mar, we'll known to many people in
this section by reason of her long
residence in this county. Mr.. and
Mrs. Leslie are grandparents-very
young grand parents, but very proud
OF the distinction. They have one of
the brightest and prettiest little
granddaughter that any grandpar-
ents ever had-two of them,- fact
and the words to the song are sug-
gested by the frequent calls to grand
pa from the little ones over the tele-
phone. Rock County Herald.

Green Lake Breeze:


The corn binder as well as the shredder, is
almost as dangerous to monkey with as
buzz saw. Two persons got their hands
badly injured in corn binders last Saturday
at about the same time. Peter Nj. Burns
was harvesting corn on his farm near K andi-
yohi and upon reaching down to push some
short stalks so that the elevator would
catch them, his left hand was caught in the
gear and the forefnger so badly crushed that
it had to be amputated between the first
and second joints. The other victim of the
corn harvester was Marcus N. Olson who
got his hand caught in the m achine and very
painfully lacerated. At first it was thought
that one of the fingers would have to be
amputated, but upon an examination by
the doctor it was found that amputation
would not be necessary.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Mossberg were guests
at the 1nterlachen Sunday.
Commissioner J. O. Kloster spent the latter
part Of last week at Wilmar attending to

Claud Doty has rented the M alcolm Ross

Annon and Stella Holt left Friday evening
for Palermo, N. D. to join their father, who is
interested in land at that place.
Galen Abott returned Friday evening from
Williams Co., N. D., where he has a claim
He expects to go back to Dakota and live on
his claim during the winter.
Charlie M artinson has been very ill and is
still confined to his bed, but his condition
has improved considerably during the past
few days and a speedy reco very is looked
for.
NJ. w. Spicer came out to the farm Tues
day. There has been considerable influence
brought to bear to get Mr.. Spicer to run as
independent candidate for county attorney,
but it seems he thinks the proper time to
come out was before the primaries

Sorry for WilImar.

A former citizen of Willmar now re-
siding at Merrill, Wis, subscribes
for the TRIBUNE and writes the follow
ing regarding Willmar's saloons:
81 was very sorry to hear at Will
mar had saloons again. It seems a
shame that people cannot appreciate a
good thing when they have it. I can
readily see the difference, for here we
have forty two saloons. But then it
seems the majority of the people
haven't high enough sense of honor to
see the difference.'

manent cures obtained.
