Saratoga, N. Y, has been definitely
decided upon for the national en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic this year.

FORMER of the murder of N. o. Dahl

| Bemidji and the hearing continued
until March 16.
For several months the Great
Northern Railway company has been
trying to get new locomotives. A
number of months ago an order was
left with a large eastern locomotive
company for ITS enignes, both pas
senger and freight. Up to the present
time the company has received but go
OF these, and has been notified that it
will be several months before the bal
ance of the order can be filled.
The Minnesota legislature is travel
ing in the wrong direction in fighting
Tor two-cent passenger rate and re-
clprocal demurrage, according to the
Minnesota Farmers exchange, which
was last week in session in Minneapo-
lis. Resolutions passed by the as
ISOLATION condemn the proposed legis-
lation along the lines named and de-
clare that the solons would be serving
| the state far better if instead of lower
passenger rates they would compel
lower freight rates on merchandise,
and if, instead of reciprocal de-
murrage, they would compel an inter-
change of cars between the different
| roads.
After long chase through the
river district of New Ulm and out into
the country, Chief Klaus captured
John Harkins, a church robber, who
had sold some silver palte to local
junk dealer for SO cents. Harkins'
companion escaped, but the entire re-
glon has been warned by telephone
and his capture is regarded as GER
tain. Chief Klaus captured one of the
men, who said that he and his COM
panion, whose name he refused to re-
veal, stole the plate from two Luth
eran churches at Gaylord. Inquiry
at Gaylord brought information that
besides the communion services two
large silver candlesticks had been
stolen from the churches there.
'This is in payment for goods
stolen" The above note, unsigned,
and accompanied by $75 in currency
was found at the Hillebrand grocery
store in St. Cloud. Mr.. Hillebrand
made the discovery and does not
know who put it there. About a week
ago thief broke in and stole goods
amounting to 1925, which consisted of
pipes, tobacco and a small sum of
money. The matter was at once re-
ported to the police, but they were
completely baffled in all their attemps.
Conscience evidently played an i'm
portant part in this story. Whether
the theft was committed by the way
ward son of respectable family
will probably never be known. The
case has completely ba6led the police
and broken all records in the St.
Cloud police annals.
Notice has been received in St. Paul
from John D. Jordan, clerk of the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals, now sitting at St. Louis, to the
effect that the application of Thomas
B. Clement, the convicted Faribault
banker, for a rehearing, had been
denied. The mandate in the cause
was stayed for thirty days from
March 2, pending an application to
the supreme court for a writ of CERT
orari, unless said application shall
be disposed of in the meantime
Thomas B. Clement was president of
the defunct First National bank at
Faribault and was sentenced to serve
eight years in the penitentiary for
misappropriating the funds of that
institution. The application to the
supreme court for writ of certiorari
is the final recourse open to him; if
he fails in this he will have to serve
his sentence.
