Committed to Fergus Falls.

Ernest Patzoldt, age rs years, a
homesteader residing near Long lake
in the township of Liberty, was
brought before Judge Clark Tues
day afternoon and adjudged insane,
complaint having been made by his
uncle, Chas. Patzoldt. Robert
Ernest and BAIL Jarbo, also resi-
dents of the town of Liberty, were
witnesses.
Mr.. Patzoldt's hobby seemed to be
that he thought the officers were
after him and that his neighbors
were trying to kill him and he, roved
in the woods from place to place,
often without clothing, ane slept out
of doors at night regardless Of
weather.
Mr.. Patzoldt was examined a
year ago on the same charge but il
seems there was notenough evidence
to hold him. His belief at that
time was that his neighbors were
trying to posion him.

Devils Lake Man Receives Letter From

That Sunny Southern Alberta" is
not all that it is cracked up to be is
very evident. Bad records have been
received from the country for some
past, and in several instances for.

been the victims. Hans l.. Ugbane of
this city recently received a letter
from his son who is located at
Clareasholm, Alberta, In the letter
he says that the crop will be only
20 per cent of what was expected.
Just at the time the wheat was ripe
and ready to cut a big snow storm
came, burying the grain. There
was very little grain cut when the
storm came, and all that was stand

snow aud beat to the ground. Very
little grain will be harvested, and
the crop will be almost. total fail.

The day has been busy one both
for the officers of the association
and the exhibitors, and considering
this being the opening day every.
thing has gone smoothly, and the
fair is we'll under way. The attend.
ance today has also been very good.
In addition to the old settlers
program a ball game was played
between two picked mines, which
proved an interesting exhibition.
There are exhibits consisting OF
all kinds of grains, grasses and
vegetables that can be produced in
this section, and some of the speci-
mems are marvels in their line.
Thos. Morrison, who manages the
Crookston Lumber Company's farm
at Kelliher, has an exhibition of
different varieties of vegetables,
corn, etc., that is worthy of special
mention, and demonstrates that
Beltrami soil is capable of produc-
ing most anything that can be
expected.
Among those who have booths in
the exhibition building are ]. A..
Ludington, Geo. T. Baker & Co.,

play.

| MANS LIFE is MADE up
OF EpoCHs," SAYS DOLAN
J. P. DoIan Becomes Reminiscent and
Relates Experience Of His First
Shave.

| +. DOlan OF superior was remlnI
scent when he was here yesterday
on his regular weekly trip among his
customers, and to the Pioneer man
he "cogitated" as follows:
Mans life is made of epochs, the
same as the life of nation or of a
world or of a universe. 3D. .
The first shave is epochal. We
do not mean the first time you stole
your fathers razor and tried to
strop it and cut the strop into
strings; and then smeared lather
on your face and got your nose and
eyes full of lather, to say nothing of
the heaping tablespoonful or or so
that found its way into your mouth
and which you may still taste if you
close your eyes and think hard.
The first barber-shop shave-Ah,
then was when Father Time erected
a milestone along the path of your
life. .-..-
You walked past the barber-shop
forty times before you mustered up
the courage to 20 in, although many
a time had you loafed there and and
read the Police Gazette and heard
the barber and the horse doctor
heatedly discuss the batting ability
of Buck Ewing and the courage of
John L. Sullivan. This time it was
different. ....
AT last you sidled in. You chose
moment when no one except the
barber was in the shop. You took a
seat in the chair and when the
barber started to trim your hair you
told him in voice that came from
miles and miles away that you
wanted shave. ..
But the barber was considerate.
He did not appear to know that this
was your first. For all he did you
would believe that he thought you
had been a patron of barber-shops
for hundred years. He stropped
his razor as carefully as though he
were going to shave Hank Burton;
who had beard as stiff as curry
comb. All, the glory OF it! The
brief, ephemeral glory! The left
side, the right side, your chin, your
upper lip-and here the barber
stopped with uplifted razor and
asked you not to draw your lip down
over your teeth! He did not smile,
although that betrayed you. And
then the bay rum and the powder
and you rose in the chair and saw
the gang" ranged about the walls
grinning at you. T..
The first shave was over; but it's
memory endureth forever, brother,
doesn't it."

DEFENDANT IN MIJNN CASE
RESTED THIS AFTERNOON
Court Will Charge the Jury Tomorrow Morninq. ...The
Drawing Of the Jury in the Case Of State vs. Peter
Mathieson to Be Taken up Next

Mum in the outer room and ordered
him out of the house and struck him.
Mum thereupon reached for the
gun laying on the table and fired the
fatal shot.
Mum did not make very good
impression and was very nervous
when giving his testimony. On
cross examination, however, he did
not differ from the main, but told
the same story over again as he
repeated to the officers and others
at the time of his arrest.
John Kyler was called to the
stand this afternoon, by the state in
rebuttal and testified to converse
tion he had with Mum after the
shooting.
Mum at that time in justification
of the act had explained to wit
ness that he considered it neces-
sary to secure gun for the protec-
tion of himself and Mrs. Franklin.
After the shooting, however, he had
stated that he was sorry that he had
committed the deed.
G. w. Erickson was the next
witness called and corroborated off
the testimony of MI. Kyler.
Other witnesses will be called this
afternoon by the state to testify as
to the relations between Mrs. Frank
lin and Mum. From the demeanor
of Mrs. Franklin on the stand
yesterday, it appears that she sides
in with Mum and her testimony
was favorable to the defense.
It is expected that the attorneys
will sum up in the morning and the.
case will probably go to the jury
by noon.

The second annual Beltraml
county fair opened this morning
under most auspicious circum-
stances.
The weather which has been very
unsettled for the past ten days
cleared up yesterday, and in spite
of heavy rain during the night the
sun rose bright this morning, and
today has been an ideal September
day.
This mornings NJ. & I. train
brought in five coaches loaded to
the guards. A big delegation came
down from Big Falls headed by the
Big Falls band. The band that the
visitors brought with them has con-
tributed much to the entertainment
today, and few towns the size of
Big Falls can boast of better
organization than the band which
heads the north line delegation
today, making a splendid showing
with their bright horns and resplend-
ent green uniforms.
A delegation of fifty came in from
Bagley this noon, distinguished with
badge bearing the name Clear
water County, and each visitor from
the west also wears the emblem of
their county stalk of alfalfa and
clover.
The feature of the program today
is the old Settlers" reunion held
in the big tent at the fair grounds,
and many old pioneers from differ
ent sections of Northern Minnesota
are mingling with the members of
the Beltrami County Old Settlers
association. A number of the Chip
pewas are also down from the Red
Lake reservation communing with
their white brothers.
Congressman Steenerson came
over from Crookston this noon, and
at 2:3O began his address to the
old settlers. The other speakers
were Mrs. M. A, Knappen, who ex-
tended the address of welcome, Geo.
Fl. Wetzel, president of the associa-
ton, aud C. w. Stanton and Judge
Pendergast.

F|vE-LEGGED COW WILL
Be Seen AT THE FAIR
The AkeIey Tribune's Wonderful Bovine
Will Be Shown at the Fair
This Week.

One of the side attractions which
will be at the fair, and which will be
well worth seeing, is the famous
Akeley Tribune Five-Legged cow.
The COW was shown at the fair at
Park Rapids and created no end of
comment. The COW will be in
small tent and will shown to all, at a
small price of admission.
The Akeley Tribune says of the
COW:
Among the side attractions at
the Hubbard county fair to be held
Sept 11-12-13 will be the Akeley
Tribune fve-legged COW and her
calf, some six weeks old.
r. The COW is a wonderful animal.
The fifth leg protrudes from her
back and she appears to handle it
without any inconvenience whatever.
She is even more shrewd than the
average cow. Her calf was about
three weeks old before it could be
located, although she came up each
evening with the herd.
She outwitted dozen or more
boys, who were offered a tempting
reward for the recovery of the calf.
James Dooley, telephone constructor
for the Red River Lumber Co., fin
ally captured the calf. The five
legged COW appears to be the leader
of the herd and evidently has hypno-
tised Dooley's COW, which readily
consents to the young calf partaking
of her creamy milk after draining
of it's mothers udder. Dooley con
siders it huge joke, even if he does
lose gallon of milk each day.
The Tribune has received sew
eral tempting offers for the FIVE
legged COW by show managers, but
he turned them all down.
Visit the county fair and see
this freak"

not be found and it was decided not
to proceed with one without the
other..>
Mum, the defendant took the
stand in his own behalf yesterday
afternoon, and testified substantially
the same as to the occurrences lead
ing up to the killing as he stated
to witnesses who were on hand,
after the commission of the crime.
Mrs. Franklin was also on the
stand yesterday and testified as to
what occurred between her and her
husband before the shooting. She
said that on opening the door lead
ing from her room into where the
tragedy occurred, Franklin leaned
against the east end Of the table and
Mum stood at the west end, about
nine feet apart.
She also testified that there were
no blood stains on the floor, as was
brought out in the testimony of the
defendant.

that he secured the gun with view
