Farm House Burns

The dwelling house on L. S. Libby's
old home farm in Greenbush, with it's
contents was totally destroyed by fire
on Tuesday morning at 9 O'Clock.
The contents of the building belonged
to Mr.. Libby's renter, who with his
wife we're at the time in the field
digging potatoes. Upon observing
flames issuing from the house they
ran to the scene with all possible
speed and by their efforts succeeded
in saving the barn, which, among
other property, contained large
quantity of grain. The fire is sup
posed to have started from some
cause unknown in the kitchen. The
house was valued in 81, 200 and car
ried 5000 insurance. The furniture
vas uninsured.

lions above mentioned, located on
both sides of the main travelled road
between Milaca and the lake, and he
proposes to convert the same into a
model sheep ranch. This winter Mr..

Princeton Potato Market.

If anything, the local potato market
is weaker than last week and prices
rule somewhat lower. There are now
nine buyers in the field and some
twenty-five cars have been shipped
since our last issue. The quantity
brought in does not vary materially
from that of last week Lambert
Hatch started on Tuesday to receive
potatoes from members of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity. This stock is
being placed in the society's cellar
under the Galley Hardware company's
store, but SO far the receipts have not
been heavy. A heavy movement was
not, however, expected at the start.

Mems Clothes.

1t is a most popular assumption
that women care more about clothes
than men do. Fashion has given wo-
men much greater latitude in the
matter OF dress, but men are often as
particular as women in this matter.
Men and women of particular tastes
agree that golden grain belt beer is a
beneficial tonic and unsurpassed as a
food tonic. Order Of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by Sjoblom
Bros, wholesale dealers, Princeton.

AS TO SPRING FISHING
State Game and Fish War;
Explains What can be
Allowed

The state game and fish warden gives
out the following explanation If the
fish Law regarding which there seems
to BE- considerable confusion, IS Re s.
daily receipt Of letters asking his ad-
vice as to the sale of fish: ''No fish
ing is allowed in Minnesota during
March and April with hook and line
as these two months as they are
spawning mcnths for fish, and every.
body who wishes to protect the fish
will realize that this is necessity.
Spearing can be done, pickersl and
rough fish at all tlmee. but these fish
are only for domestic use not for sale.
No Minnesota fish will be allowed
to be sold dripg March and April.
Frozen hsh that have been in stock,
lake trout and lake white fish, may
be handled, bat no Minnesota t1sh,
such as perch, crappies. wall eye pike,
pickerel or lass will be allowed to be
sold or had in possession for pur-
pose of sale during these months.
Regarding the sale of Ierch. There
IS nothing In the law that prohibits
the selling of perch at any tins except
during the closed season THAT IS from
the first of March to the first Of Mav)
all fish can be sold during the open
season Except trout and bass) provi-
ding they ard legally caught. First {:
Fish that have been speared ere not
allowed to be sold. Second: Fish
that axe to be sold must confo1y; to
law in regard to size and weight.
Lake trout and white fish not less
tnan two pounds round or oGe and
one.half pounds dressed; walI-eyed
pike not less than fourteen inches in
length. Fish that are less than SIX
inches in length must be returned to
the water f:om whence they came
except sunfish, rock bass. bullhesds Or

I think however, that the law will
be amended and not allow any FISH to

DIVIDED The REWARD LEAVES LITTLE FALLS}|
-Four Receive Credit for
Capture Of Horse Thief
Gilbert Bleedorn

Louis W. Vasaly received from
Clerk of Court Reynolds of Waseca
county. Wednesday. letter stating
that q decision had been filed by
Judge Bockham, in the 5000 horse
thief reward case which was argued
before him about two weeks ago. The
reward sought after was for the cap
ture of Gilbert Bleedorn, tie New
Ricbland horse thief, who was at
rested at this place some time back,
by Policeman Leblanc, for being
drunk and disorderly, and after ward
recognized by Chief Tourtlllotte as
the man wanted. by meaus of q
picture and description on a postal
card he had received from Sheriff COL
Inns OF Vase ca county.
There were five claimants for the
reward: Chief Tourtillotte, who
recognized Bleedorn as the man
wanted Officer Leblanc, who ARE sted
him; Former Sheriff Collins of Wa
SEGA county, who sent out the cards
which he claimed led to the arrest,
James Lynch, who also sent out
cards, and Consta BILE Thcs Courtney,
who pursued the criminal wibout
effect. According to the letter Police
man Lablanc gets no part of the
reward,
The reward was divided as follows
Chief Tourtillotte and Sheriff Collins
get one third each. while Courtney
and Lnych divided the other third
equally.
Chief Tourtillotte is rot at all
pleased with the outcome. and rather
thinks there is some politics in the
decision, as the othel ones receiving
part Of the reward are all residents
of that district.
The decision is certainly a surprise
to the people here who have. followed
the case. The general opinion being
that the outsidera did not have q
look. In on the reward whatever.

It is expected that good deal of
work will be done by the Northern
Pacific in the yards at this place.
New rails will be laid on some of
the tracks to replace others that are to
light for the heavy traffic. An extern
sion will also be made to one of the
side tracks which will enable ore of
the longest trains to be clear of the
Broadway crossing. A number of
the switches will necessarily be
changed to conform with the heavy
rail which is to be laid. The laying
of number of miles of new track
between this city and Brainerd is also
contemplated this summer. The work
will consume much time and will
cost between $50. 900 and $40, OOO
Roadmaster Grimes will have charge
of the work.

last Monday the Backowski brothers
fenced up the old road. The complaint t
further states that in addition to fenc-
ing the road they stood guard with
axes and would not let q number OF

nation. On account Of the absenca of
