MINNESOTA, "WEDNESDAY
"A stranger I'm Trouble.


A stranger giving his name as
Frank Peterson caused quite an ex-
citement at the Minneapolis lodg-
ing house Monday evening. Every
body had gone to bed and all were
trying to forget all about their
troubles when suddenly they were
disturbed by some hair raising yells
and screams emitted from Peter
sons quarters. It sounded as if
someone was being murdered, and
A. C. Crawford, the acting night
patrolman. was at once notified to
appear. He did so, and after look
ing around in the dark for some
time found Peterson apparently
suffering in great agony. A ply
sician was sent for and he diagnosed
the case as a severe attack of the
quinsy. The man was made as
comfortable as possible until yester-
day, when he was given a ticket
and put aboard the train bound for
St. Cloud. Peterson said he came
here from North Dakota. where he
had been threshing during the past
three weeks. He gave Minneapolis
as his home and said that his par
ents lived at Akely.

Trespassers II Eaale Lake.

A couple of weary wanderers
broke into the cottages of Ludwig
Void, o. A. jacobson and Senator
L. 0. Thorpe Wednesday or Thurs
day night of last week. They
gained entrance into the first two
by smashing the window panes. but
when they came to the third they
changed their method of attack and
broke the lock. Once inside they
helped themselves to everything in
sight, from coffee, sugar and bacon
to knives, forks and rubber coats.
Then they built a nice big bonfire
and roasted nice small game, after
which, like all good people, they
went to bed. When the environ
ment grew tedious they hitched up
a team which they had with them
and went away. They didn't say
they had enjoyed the visit, nor that
they were sorry they couldn't stay
longer; they didn't even register,
so they could he invited to come
again. They didn't leave anything
|either, except a number of ducks
bones and wings scattered all
around the place where the bonfire
had been.

CRUSHED UNDER
BIG SEPARATOR
Frank Jak0ubek Has Back Bro
ken In q Threshinq Machine
Accident in R0Seland.

Frank Jakoubek, who has been
threshing in the vicinity of Svea
for some time, had his back broken
in an accident which occurred yes
terday morning about 9 O'Clock,
three miles from the farm of Jo-
seph Feifarek in the town of Rose
land. The machine was being
moved and Jakoubek was sitting on
the pole of the separator, directly
under the self feeder attachment,
when the king bolt of the front
axle broke, letting the entire
weight of the front part of the ma
chine down on the unfortunate
man. It caught him between the
shoulders and pinned him down so
fast that it was only with consider
able difficulty that he was released.
He was at once taken to the farm
home of Mr.. Feiafrek and a physi-
clan summoned from here. The
doctors examination revealed that
the mans back was broken a little
below the neck, rendering him
paralyzed from that place down,
At the present writing there is little
hope of his recovery, altho a tele'
phone message this morning said
that he was resting little easier.
A telegram was sent from here
yesterday afternoon to a VIM. Fin
ger at Oconto, Wis.,, announcing
his injuries and serious condition.
Another telegram was sent to the
same place this morning to his
wife, asking her to come.
Jakoubek came to this county
from the woods in the northern part
of this state and wisconsin, and he
intended to remain here until the
threshing season was over. then re-
turn to the lumber camps. Besides
a wife, he is said to have four chill
dren, fact which renders the sac
accident even sadder. 1t is alst
said that he is a beneficiary il
some lodge in which he carries al
insurance of $1,000.

being killed last Saturday evening
about 9 o'clock. He was returning
from Raymond and feeling the need
of a little bracing air he settled on
top of freight car. That is about
all Jack remembers for the sand
man got him, and when he awoke
he wasn't in Willmar at all, but
found himself lying beside the
tracks, with severe pain in his
back. Or rather a tramp, who
proved to be good Samaritan,
found him while verifying the
mileage between here and Ray
mond. That was about 9 O'Clock
in the morning. IL hours after Jack
had fallen from his elevated posi-
tion. The tramp notified the sec.
tion men, and a telephone message
was sent to 'Red Cross" Sheriff
Bonde, who at once set out with an
automobile ambulance and took the
unfortunate man to his home or
Eighth street N. in this city. A
physician was summoned and he
found that Jack s back was strained
and his shoulders bruised. He hac
evidently struck on the back of hi.
neck and shoulders. How he es.
capped death no one knows, but he
did and at the present time he i.
resting very comfortably. The
next time Jack goes to Raymond he
will stay at home or at any rate he
will try to get home on the moor
train.

Fight on neutrality-suspicious.

Richmond, Va, June 30.-The
smolderng dissatisfaction in Southern
Methodist Church circles opens the It
uation with reference to the Randolph
Macon system of colleges broke into
open antagonis'n at the meeting of the
official board of Central Church, Man
chester, on Monday night when reso-
lutlons were adopted denou nclng the
trustees and calling upon the denom-
ination at large to take action.
The feeling exhibited in the resolu-
tons. which were offered by Judge
William j. Clopton and adopted by
vote of 26 to /, is prev alent elsewhere,
and il is freely predicted that other
declarations of similar character will
now be made, preeipitating situation
which may produce sensational re-
suits. Trouble has been brewing a
long time, and echoes of it have been
heard on several occasions rece ntlyin
Methodist meetings
he resolutions adopted by the Man
chester Church declare that majority
of the trustees of the Ran9olph-Macen
system having "undeitaken to repud-
late the moral ownership of and the
substantial equitable rights to control
the system as existing in the Meth
edist church of the Virginia and Balti-
more conferences, it is resolved.
THAT this high-handed and un-
righteous actisn should be stoutly re-
sisted by our church, and that in the
old Anglo-Saxor way we at once with
bold from the college board all sup
plies which we have been in the habit
of contributing for many years until
the college board shall return tt a
proper and righteous conception of lis
duty, to our cNurch, and to that end
we advise all the me G bers of our
church to cease making any farther
subscription for the Randelph-Ma con
system. We advise and recommend
all methods of the two conferences to
withdraw their patronage from the
Randolph-M Macon system of colleges
and schools until the board of trustees
sh all acknowledge the moral and
rightful ownership Of the system to be
in the Methodist Episcopal church
South in the Baltimore and Virginia
Conferences, and shall agree that such
proper steps may be taken as may be
necessary to place the system in full
control of the conferences.
"We request the said two confer
ences, in default of said agreement, to
take proper legal steps to have said
trustees removed for perverting their
trust
