the money paid by Mr.. Ekander as

contention of the plaintiff was that if

need for the plaintiff to pay the bonds.
The defendants filed a demurrer,
claiming that the complaint was faulty

Farmers Saved Millions,

Albert Lea Standard: Governor
Johnson's letter demanding that steps
be taken to compel the railroads to
reduce the grain rates as offered in
their ''compromise'' proposition
quickly brought the railroads to time.
The compromise was rejected, where
upon the Jim Hill and 500 railroads
consented to 10 per cent reduction
on grain rates, and the other roads
will no doubt follow suit. The steps
taken by Governor Johnson will save
the farmers freight rates on grain
alone, more than million dollars
and he is determined that this shall
not be all. He demands a reduction
of rates on coal, lumber and merchan-
disc and is determined that it shall be
granted, .

BOYS IN TROUBLE
Extensive Thisvsry in City Leads to the
Arrest and Self confsssio Of
the Guilty Parties.

Three young lads in the city, whose
ages range from 10 to Il years, were
rounded up by the police last week
and compelled to answer to certain
charges which had been made against
them by some of our citizens. A num-
Der of thefts had been committed at
various. times during the summer and
an investigation led to the apprehen-
sion of the boys, whose conduct has
been such that they are certainly de-
serving of severe punishment. Out of
respect for their parents, the names
of the trio of boys are withheld from
publication.
About a month ago the Lincoln
school building, at which one of the
lads is pupil, was broken into on
Sunday afternoon and the following
day number of articles were found
missing from the school rooms, in
cluding large number of lead pen
ellis. Some of these. were in unbroken
packages, new pencils that had been
furnished by the school board.
Whole boxes of steel pens we're also
gone and stamp printing outfit used
in the primary room as we'll as several
penknives belonging to the teachers.
A quiet investig alton led to the dis
covery of the guilty parties and some
of the missing articles we're found.
The affair was reported to Supt Ton
ming and later made known to the
proper authorities. The boys we're
subjected to a 'sweating' by the po-
lice and finally confession by one of
the lads led to the discovery of all of
the stolen property from the school as
we'll as other property that had been
missing in this city. The theft of
about 28 pigeons from the G. A. Birch
home and two pair of rabbits from the
Pinney place was traced to them. A
schoolbag of pencils and penholders
was found hidden back of the Ole Gill
bertson barn in the east part of the
city. A large Quantity of the new
pencils and pens was hidden under
the railroad bridge and the printing
outfit was found at a point not far
from there in the Sperry addition.
The stolen pigeons and rabbits had
been either sold or given away to
other boys in the city.
The boys were arrested and brought
Up in municipal court yesterday to
4nswer to the charge of petit larceny
preferred by the president of the school
board, Russell Spicer. They pleaded
guilty and Judge Muller supended
sentence until this morning.
The boys appeared before the judge
this morning. Two of them (brothers)
were released by the court, having re-
ceived severe corporal punishment
from their father. The third culprit
was ordered to appear before the Judge
at the next regular term of municipal
court. All were released upon pro-
mise of good behavior in the future.
