HONEST TAN RETURNS MONEY.
Animal I'm Dispute and Bounty Is
Refused

Was it a wolf or was it not? Is the
question which is agitating employees
of the state auditors Office at present.
The unusual precedent has been es-
tablished Of man returning 10 the
state $50 wolf bounty, because he
couldn't tell whether the animal he
killed was or was not a wolf.
A. E. Luedke of Fergus Fall ap-
peared before the city clerk few
weeks ago for the claim of wolf
bounty. His claim was properly
certificated and witnesses testified to
the character of the animal he had
killed. The claim was passed over to
County Auditor W. G. Lincoln of Otter
Tail county, who examined the
records, 0. KID the measure and
paid the man $3.50.
Mr.. Lincoln in turn forwarded the
claim to the state auditor and the
county of Otter Tail was reimbursed
under the wolf bounty law. State
Auditor Iyerson has received from
County Auditor Lincoln a draft for
ST so, which he returned under the
Luedke claim, In his letter to the
state auditor, Mr.. Lincoln says:
EsExperts have claimed that the
animal killed was'not wolf and Mr..
Luedke preferred to return the money
rather than be charged with securing
a bounty of which'he was not entitled
There were those who claimed it was
a wolf and those who said otherwise"
The letter and the accompanying
claim have been preserved in the
archives of the department, bn5 the
question as to whether or not it was
a wolf remains answered.

Lawyers Seeking to Agree Upon Facts

Chicago, Jan. 26.-The efforts of the
lawyers in the packers case to reach
an agreement upon the facts in the
case were fruitless up to noon, but
the conference was still in progress
The packers base their claim for i'm
that they were compelled by Commis-
sioner Garfield to testify against them
selves. They have claimed through
their attorneys that they were prom
ised immunity by the commissioner.
The attorneys for the packers offered
to agree that no promise of immunity
had ever been made to them by Com
missioner Garfield and that such
promise. if made, would not have had
any bearing on the case. This offer
was declined by the government law
yers.
District Attorney Morrison declared
to the attorneys for Tie packers that
he was willing to agree that the evi-
dence secured by Commissioner Gar
field was used by him during the in
vestigation by the federal grand jury
which resulted in the indictment of
the packers.

Garfield" he declared, merely to-
verify the statements of witnesses.
could see no harm in that when the
very report that | used was state

packers themselves and used by them
as advertising matters"
The packers, through their lawyers,
were willing to agree to a statement
of fact that none of the defendants
was served with formal subpoena or
ever produced testimony under oath
before the commissioner. They de-
clare that the commissioner said that
he purposely withheld the oath in or
der to administer it if he SO desired
after he had procured the evidence
The government refused to admit the

AFTER FEARFUL EXPERIENCE
Twenty Survivors of Steamer valen.
cja Picked Up.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. ga special
representative of the Post-intelll'
gencer wires from Port Angeles that
the rescue ship City of Topeka picked
up life raft six miles off Cape Beale
with twenty survivors of the Valen'
cia on board. The condition OF the
survivors was pitiable. They were
half frozen and practically uncon-
scfous from the exposure. The raft
was sighted about Il o'clock, but ow-
ing to the thick weather it was sup
posed to be nothing but a log. At
last, by the aid of a powerful glass, it's
true nature was determined. A terri
BILE sea was running One minute the
raft was poised on top of a wave and
the next it would be lost from view in
the gully formed by the mountainous
breakers.
The twenty men on their frail sup
port battled bravely with pair of
oars to reach the City of Topeka,
which, owing to the dangerous coast,
could not run in any closer to them.
When half mile from the raft a boat
was lowered from the Topeka, in
charge of Second Mate Burke, who
with much difficulty succeeded in
making fast a line to the raft and
towed 1t to the steamer.
After picking up this raft the steam
er went in search of another raft
which the rescued men said had left
the ship earlier in the day. The YES
sci ran fully twenty miles the other
side looking for the raft, but no sign
of it was TO be seen. 1t is the general
impression that the raft feundered.

DENNIS HENNESsEY DEAD.
Passed Away Wednesday MOI ming
After Years of Poor Health.

| After Years OF Poor Health.
Dennis Hennessey, of Darnen, pass
ed away Wednesday morning after
years of poor health. He contracted
consumption several years ago, and
altho he has often appeared quite
well, yet he has gradually failed, and
during the last few months has been
out very little.
The funeral was held from the As
sumption church in the armory yes
terday morning, and was very largely
attended, the Hibernians attending in
body.
Deceased was man who was high
[ ly respected and well regarded among
a large circle of friends, and many
will miss him.
The following account of his life is
taken from the Stevens county Biog-
raphy:-
Dennis Hennessey, a prominent
farmer of Darnen township, was born
in Ireland in 1855. He remained there
until sixteen years of age, when ne
went to Wales and engaged asa work
man in a rolling mill. After about
four years at this service he crossed
the ocean, came to Troy, New York,
and there remained until 1875, then
came to Stevens county Minnesota.
Here he took up his present farm OF
16O acres on section 26, of Darnen
township, and built shanty, planted
trees and did other work towards Sc
curing for himself neat and paying
farm home. Like many another plo-
neer, this man has passed hard ex-
perience in many ways. The first
year Mr.. Hennessey broke twenty
acres, which the following year was
put into a crop, and an additional
twenty acres were broken up. The
twenty acres cropped cost him 1920,
and from the same he realized 1$25.OO,
it having been destroyed by the grass
hoppers. The next year he met with
about the same trouble, but, full of
hope, ambition and genuine pluck, he
still remained steadfast on the land he
had selected for his home; he kept on
making improvements, so that now
he is reaping his well earned reward,
by being the possessor of a finely i'm
proved farm with a good and thrifty
grove of timber, which his own hands
planted out when he first broke sod2in
the new Northwest. His farm has
ample buildings, and is well supplied
with water both for domestic and
stock purposes.
Mr.. Hennessy was married Septem-
Der 8, 1879, to Miss Margret Doherty,
of Kandiyohi county, who was born
in Watertown, Wisconsin. Her par
ents removed from that state in the
early history of the county, coming
here overland from Wisconsin. Mr..
and Mrs. Hennessy have a family of
four intelligent children, as follows
John, Michael, Dennis and Joseph,
Barney, Paul, Ray, May, Kate and
Florence.
Mr.. Hennessy is member OF the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division
No. 1, of Stevens county.

THEY LIKE THE COUNTRY.
Morris Boys Who Recent ly Went
To Alberta, Canada. Well PLEASED.

The following letter from Calgary,
Canada, gives the experiences of
Harry Long and Charles Christopher
son, two well known Norris young
men, who left here for that station on
Jan. 18th:
CALGARY, Alta, Jan IS, 19o6-Chris-
topherson and I arrived here at $50
this morning; only two hours late,
due TO snow encountered in North
Dakota. There is no snow here, altho
there are slight snow falls reported in
the surrounding country. Wheat is
now six inches high and prospects are
good for record crop. Such is the
talk, and all points to that.
We certainly enjoyed our trip; had
tourist sleeper thru from Glenwood
to Calgary. The railroad company
is very obliging. In one instant,
where were an hour half late and they
were trying to make up time, a pass
enger fell asleep and passed his
station by ten miles. The train was
backed up the ten miles and the pass
enger safely deposited at his destina-
ton.
Natural gas has been found at
Edmonton. The full flow was struck
yesterday at a depth of 400 feet; 250
pounds pressure, and expect double
that at completion. Expect to strike
gas at Calgary.
Anybody that expects to come here
should have passing Or rate papers
from good authority or they can't get
thru on land rates. We got thru by
the assistance of Mr.. McElroy's letter
to the agent at North Portal.
We go to Edmonton to morrow two
hundred miles north.

all the business blocks are of the grey

ten or twelve blocks long, solid stone

The Rocky Mountain peaks can be
plainly seen from here. We we're
kindly advised not to attempt to walk
to them as they were only 125 miles
away.
The natives are complaining of the
cold today; it was twenty above at
worst. When the wind blows then it
warns up. Good bye.
