THERE was meat for gossip
a-plenty In Canaan that after
noon and evening. There were
Il rumors that ran from kitchen
to parlor, and rumors that ran from
parlor to Kitchen; speculations that de-
tanned housewives in talk across front
gates, wonderings that held cooks in
converse over shadeless back fences in
spite Of the heat and canards that
brought Main street clerks running to
the shop doors to stare up and down
the sidewalks.
Out of the confusion of report the
Judlcious were able by evenfall to ex.
tract a fair history of this day Of revo-
luton. There remained no doubt that
Joe Louden was in attendance at the
deathbed of Eskew Arp, and some
how it came to be known that Colonel
Flitcroft, Squire Buckalew and Peter
Bradbury had shaken hands with Joe
and declared themselves his friends.
There We're those, particularly among
the relatives Of the hoary trio, who ex-
pressed the opinion that the colonel
and his comrades We're too old to be
responsible and a commission ought to
sit on them. Nevertheless some echoes
Of Eskew's last "argument" to the con-
clave had sounded in the town and
were not wholly without effect.
Everywhere there was a nipping curl
osity to learn how Judge Pike had
taken" the strange performance of his
daughter, and the eager We're much dis
appointed when it was truthfully re-
ported that he had done and said yerv
little. He had merely discharged both
Sam Warden and Sans wife from his
service, the mild manner of the dis
missal almost unnerving Mr.. Warden.

Immediate employment in the service
Of Ariel Tabor.
Those who humanity felt the judges
behavior to be trifle fat and unseen
eational were recompensed late in the
afternoon when it became known that
Eugene Bantry had resigned his posi-
ton on the Tocsin. His reason for
severing his connection was dumfound-
ing. He had written formal letter
to the judge and repeated the gist of it
to his associates in the Office and &C.
quaintances upon the street. he de-
clared that he no longer sympathized
with the attitude Of the Tocsin toward
bis stepbrother and regretted that he
had previously assisted in emphasiz-
ing the papers hostility to Joe, par
tlcularly in the matter Of the approach
ing murder trial. This being the case.
he felt that his effectiveness in the
service of the paper had ceased. and
he must in Justice to the owner re-
sign.
"Well, Pm cursedv' was the simple
comment of the elder Louden when his
stepson sought him out at the factory
and repeated this statement to him.

flung out his arms in ludicrous, savage
despair ''And here am r.

He touched Lis bandaged hand and

She turned upon him, cheeks aflame,
! eyes sparkling and dry.
"Mr. Bantry," she cried, 'he did a
good thing And now I want you to
go home. I want you to go home and
try if you can discover anything in
of what she showed herself to be this
morning! If you can, you will have
found something that could like!'
! She went rapidly toward the house,
j and he was sdaseless enough to follow,
babbling: what do you think I'm
made Of? You trample on me, as he
did! I can't bear everything! I tell
you
But she lifted her hand with such
imperious will that he stopped short.
Then through the window Of the sick
room came clearly the querulous voice:
II tell you it was. heard him speak

He'd better give up his job and quit
than do what he's done to help make
the town think hard of Joe. And what
is he? Why, he's worse than Cory.

IF you understood Joe," she said in
low voice, ''you would know that be-
fore these men leave this house he will
have their promise never to TELL"
His eyes fell miserably, then lifted
again, but in her clear and unbearable
gaze there shone such a fame of scorn
as he could not endure to look upon
For the first time in his life he saw a
true light upon himself, and, though
the vision was darkling. the revelation
was complete.
''Heaven pity you!" she whispered.
Eugene found himself alone and
stumbled away, his glance not lifted
He passed his own home without look
ing up and did not see his mother beck
oning frantically from window. She
ran to the door and called him. he
did not hear her, but went on toward
the Tocsin Office with his head still
bent.

6. N. BUFFET
IS CLOSED
Great Northern Dining Cars win
Permit No More Sale of LiQ-
uOr While at Willmar.

Thanks to activity of Sheriff Bon
de, the buffet cars on the Great
Northern tracks will not hereafter
dispense intoxicating drinks while
in the city Of Willmar.
A short time ago word was given
the sheriff that the buffet car that
arrives from St. Paul at 1880 and
remains at the depot until 1901 a.
M, when it is taken out on the
Sioux City train, was proving pop
ular with the thirsty individuals Of
our city. Last Tuesday night, Dec
3, the sheriff with his friend Chief
of Police Gilbertson, both in citi-
zens' clothes, boarded the car and
the sheriff stood the treat. The
buffet man handed each about a
thimbleful of whisky, which they
drank. Not satisfied with this, the
sheriff ordered two bottles Of beer
to take with him. These were of
diminutive size, and the sheriff
felt that he had been robbed when
the man asked a dollar for the pur-
chases. However small the doses
we're, they were sufficient for the
purposes Of the sheriff. He secured
the proper papers for the arrest of
his man and on Saturday morning
boarded the train on which this
man was working, thinking best
not to molest him while on duty.
As the porter, whose name is Albert
Rathstock, stepped from the train
at St. Paul, Sheriff Bonde took
charge of him. They called at the
Office of the Superintendent of the
dining car service, and the sheriff
explained why he was constrained
to relieve the service of one of its
assistants. The superintendent was
amazed, and assured the sheriff that
no infraction Of the law had been
authorized from headquarters. He
wanted the sheriff to wait until the
legal department could be communi.
Gated with, but the sheriff said that
he wanted to catch the morning
train back to Willmar and the lega1
department might arrange to ap'
pear at Willmar. The superintend'
ent assured the sheriff that the
buffet would be closed hereafter
while within the limits Of Willmar
and that the offense would not be
committed again.
The department communicated t<
their local attorney, Samuel Proter
to appear for the man. The cas<
was brought under the city ordin
ance before Judge Muller of tht
municipal court Saturday after
noon. The man was adjudged gull
ty, having made no defense, ant
was assessed a fine Of $4,000 ant
costs, which amounted in all t.
$78.l4, and was promptly paid.

ACQUITTED OF
MANSLAUGHTER
Second Trial of Anton Brogren
Of New London Results in
: an AC0uittal.

The friends of the Brogren tamil
ly of New London are rejoicing over
the fact that Anton comes back
from Minneapolis this week a free
man. The jury in the second trial
was out les, than half an hour be-
fore agreeing on verdict of ac-
quittal. The first trial held early
last summer resulted in a disagree
ment. The young man and his
family have been in great suspense
for some time. The boy has been
out on bail and during the last
month or more has been required
to come to Minneapolis very often
in anticipation of his trial coming
on. Finally the States attorney
moved to dismiss the case, but the
judge would not have it so, and or
dered the case to be tried. The
Minneapolis Journal contained the
following report of the case:
canton Brogren, who admitted
that he shot and killed John Hart
Engstrom, saloon keeper, but who
asserted that he had been made the
victim of knockout drops and that
he was not responsible for his action,
is not guilty Of manslaughter in
connection with Engstrom's death.
The jury in the case returned YER
dict Of not guilty at noon today.
"Engstrom was shot in his sa-
loon, 124 Second street S., on the
night of April 9. Brogren had
been elected from the saloon twice
and shot the saloon keeper as he
was being elected the third time.
His attorney, A. T. Grotte, argued
that he had been drugged and
"rolled' in the Second street dis
trict. :
"Brogren bore good reputation,
and it was shown that he was not
addicted to the use Of intoxicants.
The first trial resulted in a disa.
greement.
The boys father, P. A. Brogren,
a hard-working tailor of New Lon.
don, has labored incessantly to as.
sist his boy in his trouble. 1t has
cost him much money and great
Hess ef tine. Other. New Londor
,fcitizens have given substantial as
sistance. The frightful experience
