ASUMMFR RESORT
Lots Plated For That Purpose
On West Side of Sank Lake
WILL BUILD COTTAGES
Sank Centre People Arrange To Have
Place Near the City Where They
Can RuStiCdte

Sank Lake is to be converted into a
summer resort.
That's the plan which a number of
residents of the city have in mind.
A tract of land between the point
and the narrows on the west side of
the lake is being plated for the
purpose.
This land is owned by Geo. H.
Hooper and is part of the Casey
place. 1t has a frontage of 400 rods
on the lake and runs back 242 feet.
The lots are to be &c feet front and
1876 feet deep. In front of the lots is
to be a space of thirty feet of lake
shore and in the rear of the lots
sixteen-foot alley.
The land lies we'll, being from % to
80 feet above the lake level. There is
fine sandy beach along the entire
frontage. What few weeds there are in
the lake in that vicinity will all be
taken out, leaving the place an ideal
one for bathing.
There are fine springs in the bank
in different places along the frontage
of the property. A hydraulic ram will
be put in for the purpose of raising
| the water to the level OF the cottages.
The water is as fine for drinking
purposes as can be found. The tract
is all wooded and furnishes an ideal
spot for summer cottages.
Mr.. Hooper is putting the land on
the market, though number OF Sank
Centre people have advocated q pian
similar to this for some time. A
number of Sank Centre business men
have already signified their intention
to purchase lots and erect thereon,
next summer, cottages and occupy
them. Among those who will take
lots are W. 0. P. HIlsdale, R. L.
Palmer, A. w. Austin, Geo. Fish,
r. E. Hanson, q. G. Koyl, Frank
Jung and Oscar Nelson. Others will
doubtless come in on the plan.
The tract in question lies advantage
ously to the city. being but four miles
distant. The idea of those interested
is to have summer homes at a point
sufficiently near to the city to enable
them to spend the day in town at
business and run out to the cottages
at night. 1t is a delightful ride up
the lake from Sank Centre to the
point.
In addition to providing summer
residences for themselves the gentle
men interested have in mind the
establishment of summer resort to
the extent that city people may be
induced to spend their summers here.
The plan certainly looks good.

date On which those interested should
vote on the proposition to incorporate.
Before adiourning the board ordered
the proposed change in the road be-
tween St. Cloud and St. Joseph,
which eliminates two crossings over
the Great Northern. Notices OF the
changes were ordered posted and
Sept. 26 was set as the date for open
ing tenders for the construction of the
road. The contract will probably he
let on that date.

Work on the 500

The 500 is pushing things on its
Brooten extension and expects, by
the 18th of October, to have its track
in readiness for regular trains. Rails
have been laid a distance OF Is miles
from Brooten to New Munich, and the
work is being done as rapidly as pos
sible. A large crew is working be-
tween Holdingford and the river.
Connections with the Northern Paci-
fic will be made at Royalton and it is
expected that grain will be hauled
over the extension this fall.

poor, weak, erring mortal. At the
conclusion scores of fellow church
men and church women focked
around the desk with many words
like these: what memory you
have Thursday night l was en-
tertained at the pleasant home OF my
youngest son Franklin Morse"
Mr.. Morse's letters are we'll written
in an attractive style and were it not
for his own illusions to his years no
one would suspect that he had reached
such an advanced age.

Gates Are Taken
Away.

The boys of the city were up tc

November first, as has been their
custom for several years.
Not many gates are left in the
city, bit some of these were taker
off and carried away.
Many lawn swings were over.
turned and settees were hung in
trees.
Similar pranks, comparatively
harmless, were committed all over
town.
In few instances there were acts
of real vandalism. One of these was
the demolition of Maj. ]. o. Fer.
rell's fence. The school boys who
were out eslly in the night deny
that this was done by their crowd
They say no real damage was done
by them to property.

Of Daviess County Grower
To Pool His Crop of
Tobacco.
MCLEAN ALSO INVADED
Formers Not Equity Mem
bers Are Said to Be
Arming.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 1.-The to-
bacco barn Of William Green, a Da-
viess county grower, who had re-
fused to pool his tobacco with the
American Society of Equity, was
burned Tuesday night. The situa-
tion is becoming serious in Daviess
and farmers who have not pooled
their tobacco are said to be arming
themselves. The Army of Peace"
will start on another tour of the
county tomorrow.
The Mclean county army organ
lied and visited the offices of buyers
at Livermore and Calhoun. The Liv-
ermore buyer was out, but John
Ramsey was found at Calhoun. He
said that he would not buy any more
tobacco at present, but would go
back into the market when he need
ed more tobacco. He agreed to re-
scind contracts if growers would
make oath that they had been in
timidated and wished to pool their
crops.
At Shelbyville the Burley Society
endorsed the action of the Winches-
ter district convention in declaring
against the planting of crop next
year and the National Tobacco
Growers Association will probably
take similar action.

capital was worth $50, 900 at least

in that decision for the first time
that National banks were entitled
to a deduction for the amount OF
government bonds owned. Other
suits like this are pending over the

w. H. White Was Slain BY
His Son On Last
Thursday.
YOUNG MAN CLEARED.
An Unfortunate Parricide
That Should Have Been
Avoided.

Henry B. White was killed by his son,
j. Ed White, Wednesday afternoon
near Casky. Brief mention of the
tragedy was made in our last issue,
but details have since been received.
The elder White owned farm on
the Bradshaw road, miles from
%0wn. part of the Greenestate. He
had been to Casky in the early part
! of the afternoon and returned home
! about 8 o'clock. He went to the
barn where his son, his son-in-law
Ed Hays and negro named Abe
Cant were at work. The old mans
mind had been impaired for some
time and when he came in it was
seen that he was in a "spell" and
was very violent and irritable.
MThe direct cause of the trouble
was some bundles oflold smoking to-
bacco that had beer left in the barn.
The old man claimed that part of
this tobacco was gone and accused
mis- son of giving it away. The latter
denied this and told him of some
people he had himself given some of
the tobacco to. This incensed him
still more and he drew knife and
threatened to kill his son. Finally
ne collared the boy and hit him
with his fist, fiourishing the
knife. The boy succeeded in pulling
away and ran out of the barn. Hays
and Cant tried to pacifyWhite but he
ran at them and seizing an axe
pursued the boy out in the lot and
finally hemmed him behind a spring
wagon and was advancing upon him
when the boy shot. The first shot
struck his left arm and the other
two entered his left breast, one
piercing the heart and producing in
stant death.
Justice w. L. Parker was sent for
anu HCIu du Inquest.
M. B. King, j. T. Garrett, T. w.
Garrett, R. l.. Moseley, w. A. Burt
and Trice Shepherd were empaneled
as jury. Ed Hays and Abe Cant
both fully cOrroberated the story of
Ed White as given herein and the
jury returned verdict of iustifiable
= homicide.
Why the young man happened to
be working with pistol in his pocket
and why he didn't go away when he
escaped from the barn and leave the
crazy old man are the points not ex--
planned. Why the three able-bodied
men present did dot disarm the old
man and bring him to town to be
tried for lunacy is another ques-
ton that needs explanation. Henry
B. White was 20 years old and
Confederate veteran. He was a
hard working old man and deserved
a better fate than to be killed by
his own son. He is survived by a
wife. two daughters and one other
son besides Ed White. All live in
ehis county. The body was buried
Thursday afternoon in Riverside
Cemetery.
Ed White is 25 years old and un-
married. He has not been arrested
and as Esq. Parker is the acting
County Judge the inquest partook of
the nature of an examining trial and
no further action is likely to be TAX
en-.
