The water at Colfax as We go to
press sconsidered to be several inches
hie her than it was in 1892. and is
rising ut the rate OF about 2 inches n
day. Reports from Shreveport show
a f.ill of about six inches, which gises
us the hope that it may not rise more
than 2 or 3 inches here before the
food crest is reached and wewill have
y slight fall. Above Shreveport,
however, there is u great deal of wa
ter vet to come, and as the Missis-
sippi river is very full the prediction
is that we will have high water foi
some time to come.

.MINkS and MUSKRATS
Season Opens Nov. I5--Se-
we're Penalty If Trapped
Prior to that Date

There has been some controversy, of
late, relative to the sesaop for trap
ping muskrats and minks, says the
Bemidji Pioneer, and it is very evil
dent that many residents of this north
country are ignorant of the provisions
OF the law relative to these fur bearing
animals.
The law in vogue at the present time
is: that which has always prevailed
and is as follows:
Sec. 38-Mink.M u s kra t-(As
amended 1907. mo person shall take,
catch or kill any mink or muskrat
between the fifteenth day of April and
the fifteenth day Of November follow
ing. Provided, that when any of the
animals mentioned in this section are
doing damage to or destroying any
property, the persons whose property
is being damaged or destroyed may
kill them at any time
The penalty of violation of this
section Of the law relating to muskrats
and mlnks is covered by the blanket
penalty. Of the law, which provides a
fine of not less than $40 and not more
than $50, and cost of prosecution, or
by imprisonment IN the county Jail
for not less than thirty days, or more
than sixty days in case of conviction.

WIN A MAJORITY
Most of the Democratic County
Candidates Were Successful
tuesday

The election resulted In some verv
gratifying results for the democratic
ticket in this county, with some ex-
ceptions.
VIM. A. Butler is reelected county
auditor for the fourth time. An
unusually fierce and desperate fight
was made against HIM, and although
he has not hls usual majority, his cleo
tion is splendid thing, considering
the character of the fight made against
him. He will have about $50
majority. He carried the strong re-
publican towns Of Bellevue and
s. P. Casey was defeated by large
majority. He ran against a man
personally very likabIe, who never
had mixed in any factional fight, and
it was a hard proposition from the
start. Mr.. Casey made gentlemanly
showing. His opponent also conducted
a clean campaign.
Judge Shaw's election was never
doubted by anyone, and it was from
the start only question of majority.
It will reach around 800, which is
certainly decisive.
3 FRANK AfmtSfOnSS election was a
great victory He ran against strong
campalgner, who had many loyal
friends, and effective work was done
But Mr.. Armstrong carried Little
Falls city, Bellevue (hls home town
by 131, and the strong republican
town of Elmdale by 20. Mr.. Arm
strong proved fine campaigner. His
majority is around $50, and he will be
one Of the most popular sherifs
Morrison county has ever known.
County Attorney Cameron's re-
election IS certainly good news. He
had incurred the hostility of some
people by his prosecution of certain
Little Falls herald., 1908-11-06

cases, and determined effort was
made against him. It luckily failed.
and the people are to be congratulated
on having endorsed q fearless and COM
petent officer. His majority will be
between 400 and 500.
Register of Deeds Vasaly, as usual.
ran against many cross6res. Never.
theless, he has been elected bv over
400. He came within 4 votAs al
carrying Motley and of carving
Bellevue, which more than com.
pensates for funny work elsewhere.
Supt. Barnes is reelected bv q laroa
majority. Circumstances prevented
Mr.. Brandt from making the activa
campaign he had intended to. VET it is
apparent that Mr. Barnes would have
been very hard to tackle, ANYWAY.
DR.. Brown is elected coroner Dr
Seguln made no campaign, vet re-
celved a good vote.
County Surveyor Fem had mo
opposition, and L. Gaudet was elected
court commissioner without Opp0si
ton.
Peter Virnig has very large
majority for commissioner His Dis
trict suitably appreciated his services
Andrew Johnson s defeat for com. :
missioner is regretable No better or
more honest man ever served this
county. Certain large interests
fought him bitterly, and Mr..
Rocheleau made strong campaign.
Our regrets are not SO much at tho
defeat as that a man who has been 30
conscientious and faithful should be
turned down. There is no reflection
on Mr.. johnson in a defeat under such
circumstances.
Governor johnson will probably
have 500 or more pluarlity, a very
good endorsement In view of the nm
usually bitter fight made on him.

SMALL WRECK MONDAY.

A small wreck occurred at the local
station Monday morning, shortly after
IL o'clock, when the Winnipeg Flyer
which was thirteen minutes late, in
coming into the station, ran into a
dlnky freight engine that was stand
ing on track No. 2. As result of the
collision the tender of the freight
engine was punctured in several
places, a truck was torn from its
position, and the cow catcher of the
passenger engine was badly twisted
and bent up The fireman of the
smaller engine jumped out, but the
although he was thrown against the
boiler head, did not sustain any in-
juries. The passengers received q
bad jolt, but otherwise were unhurt.

DIED

Wheaton NJ. Fuller, editor Of the
Transcript, and for several years
past postmaster of the local postoHce,
died Saturday morning at o'clock at
the hospital In st. Peter, where he
had gone to secure relief from a
nervous breakdown. His death, while
not unexpected, came as shock to
the many acquaintances of Mr.
Fuller.

place his home during his lifetime,
with the exception of short time.
He attended the local schools when a
boy, later learning the printing trade

The deceased was q man Of strong
constitution, but for few years had
