The second case was that of Mary
Anderson, better known in the city as
"Crazy Mary,'' who has been cared
for as a city charge for several years.
She was examined by Drs. w. E. Nc
Laughlin and J. M. Rains, who found
her condition to be such that it re-
quired treatment at the hospital and
on Wednesday afternoon she was
taken to Fergus Falls by Sheriff Lund-
quist. His wife accompanied him as
lady attendant.
This week two more cases were up
in the probate court. On Monday
liver S. Iverson, a son of Silver Iver-

Travelled around the, neighborhood

smashed furniture, stole horses, and
threatened to do others violent harm.

as a waiter and later as cashier of the
establishment. It was stated that the
report that he had been killed was
false, and this nfornlatioaIIl naturally
relieved the strain of anxiety expert
enced by the Willmar relatives of the
missing young man. AS no news re-
garding him has been received here
for month, fears for his safety are
not yet allayed in the mind of his
anxious mother. Nothing beyondthe
fact that he has gone further west is
positively known, and some word from
him is anxiously looked for.

CHILD DR0WNSzIM LAKE :
Young Daughter of Otto Cindquist Lost
Her Life in Lake Waconda -
Last Monday Morning.

A very sad accident occurred in town
of Whitefeld last Monday forenoon,
when Marvel Lindquist, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Lindquist, was
drowned in Lake Waconda.
The Lindquist house is on the banks
of the lake, and about half past nine
that morning the little girl, accom-
panied by the house dog, went down
to play on the ice. Soon after the
dog returned alone and Mrs. Lind
quist became alarmed, as the dog did
not usually leave his little playmate.
Mr. Lindquist, who had been to the
creamery, came home about that time
and began instituting search, tele-
phoning to the neighbors for assist
ance Going down to the lake they
soon discovered the girls cap stick
ing up in the water far out in the lake.
There was a muskrat pile at that
point, surrounded by open water, and
there the body of the victim was found
floating near the surface so that the
cap was visible: The body was taken
up and into the house, where every
means was used to resuscitate her, but
without avail. The child's body was
somewhat cut and bruised, showing
that she had made desperate attempt
to save herself.
The grief of the family can better
be ina. ined than described. Marvel
was the elder Of two children, being
six years and eight months old. The
remaining child is about three years
| old. The stricken parents
have the sincere sympathy of the en-
tire community.
The funeral will take place next
Sunday forenoon. Services will be
held at the residence at $50 and at
the Svea church at 1890. The inter-
ment will be in the Svea cemetery.
Rev. j. 0 Lundberg Will conduct the
last sad rites.

Cash DRAWER. ROBBED i 4 :
Great Northern Ticket Office Entered
This Morning and Over Fifty
Dollars Stolen. y

The Great Northern ticket Office in
this city was broken into early this
morning and the drawer kept in the
ticket case was rifled of it's contents.
The total amount Of cash taken was
So0.5O. The burglars left a. single
penny, which looked rather lonesome
when the discovery of the theft was
made.
The robbery occurred between II
O'Clock and $40 this morning En-
trance was effected thru the west win
dow, which had been pried open with
hatchet and which was found lying
inside>by the night ticket agent, Dan
Leary, when he arrived shortly after
five O'Clock to conduct the ticket sale
for the delayed early morning train.
He had left the place at midnight so
the theft must have occurred between
the hours above named. Stationery
used in the Office was found scattered
about and all indications were that
the unwelcome visitors had made
quick work of it. The cash included
$40 bill, number OF SIS bills, 81 in
nickles and three or four dollars in
silver and pennies
The theft was at once reported to
the police and an Investigation is now
in progress. Two suspects, colored
man and an Indian, were searched but
nothing found on them or anything to
indicate that they were implicated.
The "coon' had bought a ticket to
Minneapolis and departed on the 7
O'Clock train. Only four dollars was
found upon his person.

packer issued to-day a proclamation in refer
ence to the industrial disturbances in Pennsyl-
vania in which he calls on all citizens to assist

Every man is entitled TO labor and get for his
labor the highest compensation he can lawfully
secure. There is no law to compel him to labor
unless he so chooses, and he may cease to labor
whenever he considers it TO be to his interest so
to cease
The laboring man. out of whose efforts wealth
arises has the sympathy of all disinterested
people in his lawful struggles to secure larger
proportion of the profit which results from his
labor. What he earns belongs to him. and II
he invests his earnings the law protects his
property just the rights Of property Of all
men must be protected.
He has no right TO interfere with another man
who may want to labor. Violence has no place
among US and Will not be tolerated. Let all men
in quiet and soberness keep the peace and at
tend to their affairs with the knowledge that IL
is the purpose Of the commonwealth to see that
