Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Warren Arrived
From California Last Evening
We're in Fated City Just Before the
Calamity.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Warren arrived
from California last night, having stop
ped for few days at Denver. Mime
apolis and other points on their re-
turn. They left San Francisco the
night before the earthquake, and there
fore missed the sensations of that
scene. However, they do not regret
the loss. Their getting away was
somewhat peculiar Mr. Warren had
had an application for berths fled for
several days, and when he was mott
ed that he could procure two upper
and one lower berth for the party, re
accepted the same, and they were we'll
out towards Salt Lake City when the
shock came. Mr.. Warren thinks the
disaster will have a tendency to stop
the tourist business, and OH this poiat
says that while he has spent several
winters there, he wants no more Cali
fornia. The hotel at which he stop
ped was practically destroyed, and
many guests, not only of that one but
many others, escaped with nothing ex-
cept what they had on their backs
Mr.. Warren left here January %, and
during his stay has reduced his sur
plus flesh several pounds. Both he
and Mrs. Warren are in splendid
health.

money for the local club is in hand
and the men sent for. The arrival of
the men and practice of the team is
being delayed day after day through
the delay Of the soliciting committee

there seems to be a general feeling

Americans and will play the season
with Lake Linden, which gives that
town its old complement of outfield-

of the special features of his trip
which deeply impressed Mr.. Glass, was
the spirit of enthusiasm shown by the
Winnipeg fans and the magnificent
grounds which the management has
secured in Happyland park, where a
seating capacity of more than 5000 will
be furnished.

In order to avoid this happenstance,
the officials brought him by round
about way to this city and confined
him in the county Jail. where he was
placed under strong guard by Dick
Fadden, who was then sheriff. Some
of the more lawless ones Of this city
worked up a sentiment in favor of
lynching the prisoner and large
crowd congregated in the jail-yard at
the courthouse. Someone called for a
long rope and strong rope, which
was shortly forthcoming. Sheriff Fad
den, about this time, got wind of what
was going on and proceeded to thwart
the plans for vengence. He and his
guards poked their heads out of the
second story windows of the Jail build
ing and announced that if the yard
wasn't cleared in five minutes, there
would be material for funerals on the
following day. The clearance was not
long in making, suffice it to say Bonn
berger afterward paid the penalty on
the ScaffOld.

flowers down the back of the hand.

are used, the pale blue have forget

Some gloves in the new raspberry
shade are decorated with wee sprays
of berries and their brambles. White
gloves to accompany colored costumes
have the floral design in a tone to
match the gown. A pretty touch is
given to some of the short white gloves
by t%o-inch band of color encircl-
ing the wrist. This of course, matches
the floral decoration in tint.

INCIDENT NOT
CLOSED
The Storkson Family Again in the
Limelight-Reported Here the Wo.
man Has Decided $1,000 Farm Back
to Divorced Husband.

A strange and unlooked-for contin-
gency has come to light in the case
of the Storksons, Nelson county
couple, who were divorced in district
court by Judge Fisk on April is.
Those who have followed the case, and
its many unsavory details, will recall
the evidence as showing that. the de-
PENDANT, Sivert Storkson, was uncom-
monty harsh and brutal to his wife,
Oleana Storkson, on one occasion at
tempting her life by firing loaded
shotgun into the hous. where he be-
lieved her to be sitting.
The evidence from start to finish was
so conclusive and corrohorative of the
allegations of cruelty made by the
plaintiff in her complaint, that she had
no trouble in securing a decree.
Judge Fisk at the time of signing the
order of separation, gave the woman
custody of the two minor children, all
mony of SIS month, and clear title
to the farm, a quarter section in Nell
son county, worth about $4,000. With
the granting Of the divorce, it was pre-
sumed that the Storksons would be no
more in the limelight, but that the pre-
sumption was mistaken one there Is
no doubt
B. G. Skulason of the legal firm of
Skulason & Skulason, who was coun-
sci for Mrs. Storkson, and who Spent
much valuable time, as we'll as money
out Of his own pocket, to see the
woman out of her trouble and get her
the desired separation, as we'll as a
means of living, received word today
from Lakota that on April rs Mrs.
Storkson had decided back to the man
from whom she had been divorced
and who had in the past been so cruel
to her, the valuable farm which the
district court gave her when issuing
the decree. The report states that the
consideration received was only few
dollars, the amount less than 500.
The woman now has not thing in
the world for the support of herself
and children. The attorneys are un-
able to understand what possessed her
when she gave the farm back to her
divorced husband. Suffice it to say,
however, that they are considerably
annoyed at such a step, after all their
hard. conscientious labor in securing
her means of support It is thought
possible the woman has made up her
mind to re-marry Storkson.

A PRISONER
Old County Jail Building Might Tell
Some Queer Stories il Its Old Walls
Could But Spenk-Its Yard Nearly
Saw Lynehing Once.

The old county Jail building, which
has done duty in this city as a con-
filming establishment for. the unlawful
for some twenty years or more past,
and which is soon to assume the
peaceful job of storing wood for
private citizen, might tell some in
teresting tales if it's old walls could
but speak. The old yard where it
stood came nearly being the scene of
a tragedy in 1898 or 1894, when Bonn
berger, the murderer of the Kreider
family at Cando, was confined therein
for safety's sake. Bomberger, it will
be remembered, killed an entire FAM
lily of seven, excepting the older girl,
whom he assaulted, after numbering
the other six members. Immediately
after his CHASTITY crime, he fled for
the Canadian boundary. but was pur-
sued and caught Feeling in the north
ern part of the state was exceedingly
high and lynching seemed imminent.

ELKS DECIDE
TO BUILD
Handsome Home for the Order to Be
Erected-Plans to Be Submitted at
Meeting May Sand Site Selected
by the Committee.


The Elks of this city, always alive
to its progress, have practically de-
cided to erect building that will be a
credit to the order and an ornament to
the city. The advance plans are be-
ing prepared, and will be ready for
submission at the meeting of the lodge
on May 3, at which time the kind of
building and the location of the same
will be determined. One of the mat
tiers not settled is whether it will be
be exclusively a home for the order
or will include lower story for offices
to be rented. At any rate, the build
ing will be modern one in every par
ticular and will be characteristic of
the enterprise for which the local
lodge is famous. The structure will
be pushed to completion at the earli-
est date possible.

A Pleasant Evening At Bittinger.

But very few rural communities ia
this county, | am persuaded, could fnd
home talent to present so successful
and satisfactory an evenings entertain
ment as we had here in orr public school
rooms on Saturday evening last. Under
the management of our teacher, Mr..
Hanft, a dozen of our young people
gave the simple drama, Under the
Laurels," and shortl supplementary
farce, " The Darkey Wood Merchant. -
In the longer play there was acting
that would have won applause on the
boards anywhere; and the shorter piece
was given in a truly mastery manner
These young people do not seek no
toriety, and are not ''in it" for profit;
therefore it would be out of place to
name any of the caste with special COM
mendation. Indeed, where all did so
well, special mention would be nothing
less thaa invidious. We must remem-
Der, anyhow, that comparisons are
odious" in such connections
While we have no WISH nor yet any
fear, that any of our young people
'take to the stage" we do heartily APP
prove the motive that spurs them to this
effort. Further we would say that they
fully merit the patronage of the public
Many, in quest of amusement, go
much farther and pay more, for enter
tainment, not whit superior.
The funds secured are used in the
purchase of books to fill the shelves of
a local reading circle They already
have 200 volumes; and the plan is to fit
up and occupy temporarily, a room in
the parsonage.
Other communities are asking the
favor of visit by our young artists,
and they may play at few places in
the near future We feel sure they
will win applause wherever they may
