"But Somehow | Have Trusted You
More Than Any One Else"

More Than Any One Else"
South Otselic, June 21st, 1906,
Wednesday Night-My Dear Chester:
1 am just ready for bed and am so i'll
1 could not help writing to you.
Chester, 1 came home because
thought / could trust you. 1 don't
think now 1 will be here after next
Friday. This girl wrote me that you
seemed to be having an awfully good
time and she guessed that my coming
home had done you good, as you had
not seemed so cheerful in weeks. She
also said that you spent most of your
time with that detestable Grace Hill.
Now, Chester, she does not know
1 dislike Miss Hill and so did not
write that because she knew it would
make me feel badly, but just because
she didn't think. / should have
known, Chester, that you did not care
for me. But somehow have trusted
you more than anyone else. When
ever the other girls have said hateful
things to me of you I could not be-
lieve them. You told me-even prom
ised me-you would have nothing to
do with her while I was gone.
Perhaps, Chester, you don't think
or you can't help making me grieve,
but l wish things were different. You
may say you do, too, but you can't
possibly wish so more than 1. I have
been very brave since came home,
but tonight l am very discouraged.
Chester, if could only die. / know
how you feel about this affair and /
wish for your sake you need not be
troubled. If die hope you can then
be happy. I hope can die. The doc
tor says l will, and then you can do
just as you like. 1 am not the least
bit offended with you, only l am a lit
tie blue tonight and feel this way.
I miss you. Oh, dear, you don't
know how much l miss you. Honest
ly, dear, l am coming back next week
unless you can come for me right
away. / am so lonesome can't stand
1t. Week ago tonight we were to-
gether. Don't you remember how l
cried, dear? l have cried like that
nearly all the time since l left Cort-
land. l am awfully blue
Now, dear, let me tell you You
will get this Monday some time. Now
you please write me Monday night and
be sure and post it Tuesday morning
and then 1 will get it, or ought to.
Wednesday morning. l just want to
see what the trouble is why 1 don't
hear from you. was telling mamma
yesterday how you wrote and 1 never
got it, and she said: why, Billy, if
he wrote you would have received
It."
She did not mean anything, but
was mad, and said: Mamma, Ches-
ter never lied to me, and 1 know he
wrote" If you were only here, dear,
how glad would be.
Don't you think l am awfully brave?
am doing so much better than I
thought / should. I think about
you, dear, all the time and wonder
what you are doing. 1 am so fright
ened, dear. Maude has invited me
iown for next Tuesday, but I don't
mink | can go. Oh, say, IL you post

caretaker for Mineopa.

Mankato-State Auditor Iverson an
nounced the appointment of j. B. Hidge
of Minneopa Station as caretaker Of
the new Minneopa State Park, near
Mankato. The appointment is made
under the law by which the park was
acquired by the state, which provides
that a caretaker should be appointed
by the state auditor until such time
as the legislature makes some other
provision in the matter.
The legislature of 1905 appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase Of the land for
the park, but the negotiations for the
land and the perfection of the title con-
sumed a great deal of time, and the
transaction was not completed until
Dec. 4. The owner of the land was
paid $500, and the title has now
passed to the state.
The park is located about four miles
west of here and includes about sixty
acres through which the Minneopa
river runs. The chief feature in the
park are the falls, of which there are

II the members of the "big nine" do
not see fit to support their Chicago
representatives who in the conference
adopted certain rules it is quite probs
able that Indiana university will
withdraw from the conference and
cruise for the season of 1907 under
the black flag. Rejection of the
retroactive idea of the three-year rule
means the ruin of the crimson foot
ball team, while its adoption means
that the great fighting machine which
Sheldon has built up will again try
for the championship of the west. If
the four-year rule is passed all the
men except Hare and Clark can play
and Sheldon has some fast subs who
can easily drop into their places.
Crutch, phenomenal freshman punt
er, is expected to fill Hare's shoes,
and Paddock, according to the Grim
son coaches, can easily take Clark's
position. If the "big nine" upholds its
conference Indiana will play five con-
ference schools out of the seven
games allowed. Chicago will be
played at Chicago and Minnesota at
Minneapolis. Iowa and Michigan will
be asked to come to Indianapolis
Purdue and Illinois will be offered a
date. Wabash and Notre Dame will
be played at Bloomington. Should
Indiana be forced to raise the black
flag and play her four-year men Chi

United States Circuit Judge Lurton
handed down decision at Cincinnati
In the case of the Empire Circuit
company against the Gans-Nelson
Goldfield Picture company, G. L. Rick
ard, known as Tex Richard, and Will
liam Nolan. Judge Lurton found that
the allegations of the Empire Circuit
company are true and that there is in
Its hands S6,718.96, which accumulated
as receipts from exhibitions of the
Gans-Nelson fight pictures. He holds
that Nolan is entitled to one-third of
the amount and the company the other
two-thirds. Richard is entitled to no
Interest except what he may derive
through the ownership of the pictures,
and is not entitled to make any claim
against the funds in question. The
Empire Circuit company is also Or
dered to pay to the parties in interest
their proportionate share of the re-
ceipts resulting from the exhibitions
given in Baltimore, Philadelphia, st.
Paul and Duluth since the suit was
filed. The criminal charge against
Manager Nolan, which has been in the
municipal court here in connection
with the same matter, was dismissed,
on motions of attorneys for Richard.
