Horse Thieves at Work in AnOka

Sometime between midnight Sunday
night and o'clock Monday morning
thieves entered the barn of W. W.
Stockwell and stole his brown horse
and single harness. They harnessed
the animal to a two-wheeled cart
which they had brought with them by
hand and drove off with the outfit. On
discovering his loss Mr.. stockwell
followed the wheel tracks until they
were obliterated by the travel near the
center of town. Since then neither he
nor the police have heard from the
missing animal although word has
been sent out to be on the watch for it.
The horse was brown in color with
three white feet, star on it's forehead
and had an "A" branded on it's left
shoulder. The harness taken was
brass mounted. Herald.

DOG WAS MAD.

State Bacterio1osist Discovers Negri Bodies
in Head of Animal Killed.
A dog, supposed to have been SUI
fering from hydrophobia, was recent
lys killed northeast of town and DR..
Neumann sent the head of the animal
to the state bacteriologist for examin-
alton. On Saturday he received a
letter stating that negri bodies, or
rabies bacilli, had been found in the
brain of the dog.
This dog had bitten COWS, hogs and
chickens belonging to Walter Annis,
a COW belonging to George: Schmidt
and several dogs. So far as known
the dogs bitten have all been killed,
and DR.. Neumann is keeping close
watch of the COWS and hogs for de-
velopments. No one seems to know to
whom the rabid dog belonged.

RULING IN TAX SUITS
Judge Taylor Holds That Raise on
Assessments in Milaca Town.
ship is Justified by Law.
Question Involved was Whether In
crease Could be rlade Without
Notice to Defendants.

Judge M. D. Taylor has handed
down his decision in the twenty five
cases to enforce payment of taxes on
real estate in the township of Milaca
remaining delinquent on the first
Monday in January, 1908, and in each
instance finds for plaintiff. The de-
cision is as follows:
Said several causes having been
duly tried at the April term of court,
j. "A. Ross representing the county
and Rolleff Waller the defendants, and
the court having considered the same,
it is ordered that judgment be entered
in said proceedings against each of
the twenty-five described parcels of
real estate for the amount of taxes,
penalties and interest sought to be en-
forced against the same.
A note is appended to the decision
which reads thus:
The county board of equalization,
without giving any notice, raised the
assessment of each of the tracts OF
land involved herein. The answering
defendants contend that this action
was without authority and void and
that the tax is illegal to the extent that
it is based upon the increase made in
such assessments. This identical
question was decided in State VS..
Cudahy Packing Co., lis N. W. r.,
645, published while these cases we're
on trial, which holds that the failure
to give notice in such cases is a mere
irregularity that does not affect the
validity of the assessment.
Hence the question involved was
whether the valuation of land, which
was raised by the county board OF
equalization, above the figures of the
assessor and without notice, to So. sc
per acre, was in compliance with the
statute.

A Surprise on the CAPTAIN.

Captain Caley's comrades in Com

together with several ex-members of

most delightful surprises of his life on
Monday evening. Forty-ive strong,
they marched to the captains resi-
dence and filed into his presence un-
expected and unannounced. There
they presented arms and the spokes-
man of the company made known that
the boys had not come for the purpose
OF arresting their superior officer, but
to do him honor upon the seventh
anniversary of his enlistment into the
company to which he had proven a
credit; land to show our apprecia-

with present you with slight token in
the shape of a writing DESK" At this
point two of the privates wheeled in
the desk from the hall.
Capt. Galley thanked them for their
kind remembrance and requested them
to be seated. It was then decided
that cards be the feature of the even
ing and Mrs. Galley served delicious
refreshments at II o'clock. The cele-
bration continued until it was almost
time for the little birds to arise and
sing praises unto God.

RESCUED BY A HERO
Mabel Meyer, Thirteen Years of AGE.
Saved From Drowing in Rum
River by II. Wikeen.
Youth PIunges Into Icy Current and
Grasps Girl as She Goes Down
for the Third Time.

An accident in which Mabel, the
l3-years-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. G. Meyer, came near losing
her life occurred in the Rum river,
near the Umbehocker residence, on
Sunday afternoon at 3:45 O'Clock.
At the point where the accident &C.
Cured large fat-bottomed boat was
moored and several girls had boarded
the craft. They were enjoying them
selves as children usually do-laugh-
ing and singing when the boat broke
away from it's mooring and commenced
to move down stream. The Meyer
girl here became frightened and
jumped into the water, which was
seven or eight feet deep. The other
occupants of the boat Immediately
screamed at the tops of their voices
and kept it up until the attention of
several persons on the hill had been
attracted. Among the first to arrive
upon the scene we're Heyno Wikeen and
Arthur Roos. Heyno was slightly in
the lead, and as he rushed down the
hill and realized what had happened
he threw off his coat and lost no time
in plunging into the river. After a
desperate struggle with the current
Heyno succeeded in grasping the girls
dress as she was going down for the
third time and bringing her ashore.
He was assisted in landing by Arthur
Roos.
Had it not been for the boom which
at that place forces the current toward
shore and at the same time acts as a
hackwater the girl would in all prob
ability have been beyond reach before
her rescuer arrived.
Young Wikeen is entitled to much
praise for the heroism he DISPLAYED
upon the occasion. It was heavy
risk which he undertook in plunging
into the icy stream with his clothes
and shoes on, but he seemed to have
no fear for himself while life was at
stake. Heyno has we'll earned a
Carnegie medal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer asks the
U MON to convey through the
medium of it's columns their sincere
thanks to Heyno Wikeen, Arthur Roos
and others who went to the rescue of
their daughter and succeeded in saw
ing her from death by drowning.

Undesirabies Chased Out.

Marshal Cravens on Monday chased
two undesirables out of town. They
had been hanging around since Satur-

other left on the train. Sid says he is
