FINED FOR HUNTING
WITHOUT A LICENSE

A hunter by the name of Al
Thomas, who halls from Stearns
county, was arrested last Thursday
by Game Warden Boyd for hunting
ducks at Lake Andrew without a
hunters license. He was brot be-
fore Judge Muller Tor hearing. He
stated that he was not aware that
the laws required a license for
shooting small game outside of
ones own county, but as ignorance
of the law does not excuse anyone
from it's penalty, the judge fined
him, giving him the minimum pen
atty $4,000 and costs, amounting
to $56.65. The game laws are
changing from year to year, and it
is not to be wondered at that there
are many who are ignorant Of it's
provisions, and in some cases it
would seem that the minimum fine
of $50. was going it pretty steep.
However, if the case be, as some
farmers in the Lake Andrew locality
state, that Mr.. Thomas was a pro-
fessional sport, or what is known
in every day parlance as "pot
hunter,' the fine may not seem so
severe.

Goar Asks for Vindication.

Ihe following news Item was
published in Spencer's paper of
Nov. 16:
Jesse Goar, who has been fore.
man Of the Atwater Press office, is
reported to have become suddenly
deranged during the absence of his
wife, and turned up missing. Mrs.
Goar went thru here yesterday and
says that she has been unable to
find any trace of him. She is sick
and left in destitute circumstances.
Any inofrmation as to his where
abouts will be thankfully received
by Mrs. Goar at Auburn, Minn.'
We have received a letter from
Mr.. Goar, who is now located at
Hibbing, Minn., writing insurance
with his father, wherein he states
that the above article is wholly
false and without foundation, not
only as to the absurd statement
about his mental arrangement but
also as to the alleged lack of care
given his wife. We do not publish
Mr.. Goar's lengthy letter partly
because of lack Of time and space,
and partly because we do not
care on general principles to burden
our reading public with a private
mans domestic. troubles. However,
as the news item in question has
been given a wide circulation by it's
being copied in several local papers,
it is not more than justice to Mr..
Goar that we help him correct the
wrong done him. In his letter he
gives full account of all his ac-
tions and intentions; how he de-
cided to quit the printing business
at Atwater owing to failing eye
sight; how he accompanied his
wife to Granite Falls and saw her
safe on the train for Auburn, where
she was to stay for some time with
her parents; how he returned to At
water and later left for Hibbing,
as it had been agreed, only that he
left sooner than was first planned
because he was fortunate in secur.
ing printer in his place soone,
than he had expected. If his state.
ments be true, he has done as much
as could be expected of a good hus
band under the circumstances.
In commenting on the news item
last week, the Atwater Press says
During Mr.. Goar's service at thi!
office he proved to be a most trust
worthy workman and gave excellen
satisfaction. The announcement
| that Mr.. Goar had become derange,
/ during the absence Of his wifi
comes as a great surprise to US, a
he was in very sane condition
when he left Atwater. -

Ernest Nordeen, son of John
Nordeen, near Spicer, was quite
seriously hurt Monday while doing
some scraping near the farm among
the trees. The scraper struck a
stump with such force as to fly
back, the handle striking Ernest in
the jaw. 1t was first thought that
the jawbone was broken. DR.: Ja~

tion found that no bones were bro

now very painful, it is hoped that
no serious consequences will follow,
and that Ernest will soon be able
to be about.

A Chfldren'S Favorite.

Martin Tew is a lover of good
many things, but especially Of chill
dren. In his youth he taught
school five years and never whipped
or otherwise humiliated a child.
And yet he was as strict on disci-
pline then as later when he was an
officer in the army.
Even in the Philippines and
Japan he made friends with the
little shy brownies. Often as he
passed down the streets of Manila
the brown-legged, bashful young
sters would nudge each other, point
to him and say |Marteen."
Some time ago he lectured in
Cando, N. D. During the day he
had made fl lends with number of
children and in the evening a large
delegation occupied front seats.
When he walked out in front and
was about to begin speaking a little
toddler about three years old ran
up. embraced his knees and with a
perfectly contented and joyous look
clung to him. The audience looked
on wonderingly, expectantly Some
were amused, others nervous.

A Fracas at Lake Lillian.

A disgraceful affair took place
in the town of East Lake Lillian on
Thursday of last week, at the Solo,
mon Solomonson home, where an
auction sale was held that day.
Several parties who had some griev-
ances against John S. Anderson, the
auctioneer, took occasion to attack
him after the sale, and the affair
was witnessed by a number of At
water people, who were among
those~in attendance at the sale.
The ring]eaders seemed to be Vic
tor and Palmer Nelson, and it was
claimed by witnesses that they were
in an intoxicated condition. They
assaulted Mr.. Anderson and inf1ict-
ed several scratches upon his person
as we'll as few other minor in
juries. Had it not been for the
friends of Anderson. who came to
his assistance. he might have been
seriously injured.-Atwater Press.
The two young men above men,
toned were brot to Willmar last
Friday morning and arraigned be-
fore Judge Muller on the charge of
assault. They plead guilty. Palm
er was given a fine of $500 and his
share of the costs; Victor, a fine of
$500 and his share of the costs;
amounting in all to $22.70, which
they paid and returned home in the
afternoon. They gave as their ex-
cuse for assaulting Auctioneer An
derson that he would not recognize
their bid on horse.

Answered by Secre-

And White Organization in Suit
TO Compel Issuance of Char.
fer TO Coiored Branch

Frankfort, KY, July 12.-Aettor-
neys representing the Secretary Of
the State Of Kentucky, the Grand
Lodge, B. P. 0. e. Of the United
States and the Frankfort Lodge Of
that order today filed in the state
fiscal court here an answer to the
petition recently filed by Falls City
Lodge, No. A, of the Improved and
Benevolent Protective Order Of Elks
Of the World, an orgaizatfon of Ne
groes, who are seeking to compel the
Secretary Of State to issue to their
organization a charter under the
Kentucky laws
For answer to the petition, the
Secretary Of State sets out that he
has no interest in the matter and that
the real parties at interest are the
grand lodge and Frankfort lodge Of
the B. P. o. E. Of the Unieted States
and he asks that they be made de-
PENDANTS with him.
He urges that the order Of Blks
was long established when plain
tiffs sought to- incorporate their
lodge; that the words "Falls City
Lodge No. A." is indicative merely
Of locality, the essential and distinc-
tive name Of the order sought to be
incorporated by plaintiff being the
name, benevolent and Protective
Order Of Elks.''
The Secretary Of State further says
that the promoters and organizers Of
the plaintiff lodge had full knowledge
Of the existence of the grand lodge
and Frankford lodge Of the b. P. O.
E. and adopted the name set out in
its articles With a design to initiate
the name Of said grand lodge, and
other Elk lodges and did so "frau-
dulently, wrongfully and Illegally"
For further answer he says that
the work Of the grand lodge of Elks
and subordinate lodges is largely
social and the plaintiff, composed Of
Negroes, do not, in the nature Of
things affiliate socially with the white
race and cannot become subordinate
lodges under the grand lodge. He
prays that the writ sued for against
him be denied by the court.
This case which will come to trial
in September next, has attracted at
