gathered in this city last week and

AS definition of a syllogism, the
following by sophomore is not so
bad. When asked to give an exam
pie by the professor. the sophomore
promptly answered: "A dog has
three tails. No dog has two tails.
One dog has one tail more than no

Because Roman Kruger, a Sleepy
Eye policeman, defied the wishes of
Willis Cunningham in marrying the
latter's daughter, Grace, against
Cnnningham's expressed objections,
Kruger is now awaiting trial on
the charge of perjury. Kruger is
divorced man and Cunningham is
prominent and well-to-do citizen
and his daughter, Grace, is only II
years old. But somehow Roman
and Grace got a liking each other
and they did as many so afflicted do
they married, regardless of the cir
cumstances which occasionally arise
to hinder such ceremony. Krueg-
er is accused of perjury in declaring
that Grace was more than Is years
old.

ever expounded by mortal men in
the line of street amusement or log
ic, the last bunch of missionaries
was surely entitled to the entire pas
terry exhibit.

ed to Thomas Craigen, Sacred Heart,
and was mailed at Buffalo Lake.
He evidently belonged to the train
mems union, as he had cards in his
pocket to that effect. That he was
not a tramp was evidenced by the
fact that he had $35 in his pocket
and was well dressed and carried a /
gold watch. He attempted to
board moving cattle train, lost his
hold and fell on the rails, his body
being cut in pieces.
Passengers Of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis east-bound passenger train
had a rather peculiar and unusual
with one of the hobo
gentry on Monday of last week.
When the train was about two miles
east of Dawson the train was stopped
by the frantic signals of "bo."
The engineer was not disposed to
stop but the fellow would not get
off the track. After the train had
reached standstill. he accosted the
engineer something like this: Say,
don't know whether | am doing
you any good or not, but you will
find broken rail about two miles
east of here" The engineer asked
him to get on and ride with them
and he said he would if they were
