family of four small children, who for
merly lived in Frostburg, told me but
recently that she could get through with
her household duties with much less
labor and in nearly half the time she
could when in Frostburg. She uses
natural gas, and thinks it one of the
most convenient utilities ever intro
duced into the American home.
The rate here for natural gas is -

are employed around the station from
smoking will be strictly enforced in the
future, it is announced. This rule has
been in existence for some time, but the
employees did not pay much attention to
it, and few days ago information was
received and at all points along the line
from the general superintendent that
the rule would be strictly enforced in
future. The rule affects all men en-
ployed at or around stations, freight
houses and shops. The rule, however,
says nothing against the employees us

North Mankato Man Wants Pay for
Land He Failed to Get.


Papers were served yesterday in a
suit begun by Christian Larson VS.. Sc
bastian Goettl and Anna Goettl, his
wife, to enforce warranty deed. The
parties live in North Mankato, and the
action was commenced in the district
court of Nicollet county. The defendants
sold five acres of land to the plaintiff,
and it appears that there were really but
four acres. as the river had taken off
an acre. Mr.. Larson sued Gerard Rut-
jes, who owns adjoining land, for the
other acre, but lost his case recently.
He has now begun suit against the Civ
ers of the deed.
The plaintiff wants the Goettls to pay
him $3.50 for the acre that is missing,
and $70.SS to reimburse him for the cost
of the suit against Rutjes. G. 0. Daley
is attorney for the plaintiff.
