Game Between High Schools,

The Princeton high school team was
de1aated ON the local grounds Sa.us.-
daylsy score of 3 to 0. Milaca IS
high school team has not been defeated
this year-it is a dandy. The game
here was one of the fastest, cleanest
and most exciting ever witnessed on
the Princeton diamond.
Milaca brought in two of it's scores
in the first inning. With two men on
bases Angstman threw off his mask
and ran for foul and while he was
putting it on again Roos shot one
over and one man scored. The other
runner scored on sacrifice.
In the fourth Wilkes made a long
hit, reaching second on it, and was
sacrificed home, making the score to
O., where it remained to the end
of the game.
Roos, who twirled for Princeton,
pitched a good game and famed II
men, while Wilkes, who was on the
rubber for Milaca, pitched heady
game and showed GOODNESS at critical
times.
Milaca has fine bunch of players
and it is no disgrace for the Princeton
boys to be beaten by them by so small
margin.
Next Saturday the Hinckley high
school team has promised to come to
Princeton and this will be your last
chance to see the high school teams
play here this season, as all future
games are scheduled for other towns.

A DIAB0LICAL FIEND
Bella Guinness of La Porte. Indiana.
Lures Men to Her Farm and
There r1urders Them,
Fourteen Persons Known to Have Met
Death at the Home of This
Emissary of Satan.

No tragedy of modern times can
approach in horrible detail the crime
perpetrated by that bloody-handed
monster, Mrs. Bella Guinness of La
Porte. Indiana. AS the work of the
Investigators proceeds more gruesome
grows the discoveries at the house of
murder. 1t has become clear that in
hendishness this woman Guinness sur
passed even the Bender family of
Kansas. Ten dismembered bodies
have so far been unearthed at the
Guinness farm and it is known that at
least fourteen deaths have occurred
there.
Greed for money appears to have
been the mania which impelled this
woman to commit these wholesale
butcheries, and in this work it is be-
lleved that she was assisted by her
hired man, Ray Lamphere, who is
now IN Jail. Her device to secure
victims was a shrewd one She ad-
Vertised in matrimonial papers for a
husband, but refused to consider a
proposal unless the applicant made a
personal visit to her and deposited a
large sum of money. After this trans
action nothing more was ever heard
OF the sutton. He was dispatched with
deadly poison, chopped up in the
chamber of horrors and laid away
with the silent majority beneath the
sod.
Late reports say that, beyond a
doubt, Lamphere fred the house, and
evidence tends to show that Mrs.
Guinness and the three children lost
their lives in the fire. A gold crown
tooth and three rings said to have
belonged to Mrs. Guinness were found
upon the corpse of the woman dis
covered in the debris. A dirk, knives
and about two dozen bent scissors
blades were also found in the ruins.
These instruments are supposed to
have been used for the dismembers
OF the victims bodice. So. --... -
| The female butchers victims we're
from all parts of the country and one
OF them is believed to have come from
Christiania, Norway, lured to La
Porte by an advertisement in a
Norwegian newspaper.
According to a letter received by
Sheriff Shutter of La Porte on Tues
day there are relatives of the Guinness
family living at Mile Laos lake.
This letter was from Albert Peterson
OF Isle, cousin of Peter Guinness, the
second husband Of Mrs. Guinness.
Peterson says Guinness advanced a.
large amount of money to his wife.
Guinness was insured for 81. 900 in the
United Workmen, fraternal organ
ization, and for 81, 900 in the Sons of
| Norway. He believes that a child of
Guinness by a former marriage, who
is living with him at Isle, should be
protected, and intimates that the will
OF Mrs. Guinness will be attacked in
favor of Jennie Swanhilde, the child
in question.
A dispatch from Ell Paso says that
Engineer Kellogg of the Texas &
Pacific railroad believes that Mrs.
Bella Guinness, the Indiana murderess,
is in New Mexico.

TEACHERS MEETING.

Association Convenes at Milacm on satur-
day Next, May 16.
Teachers and prospective teachers
living in Princeton will have no ex-
cuse to remain away from the meeting
at the Milaca high school on Saturday,
next, May 16, for teams will be in
readiness upon that morning to con-
vey whomsoever may desire to 60.
These teams will start from Ewing's
music store and teachers are asked to
meet at that place. The store will be
open at 7 O'Clock in the morning and
the party will leave for Milaca at
O'Clock sharp. This is absolutely
necessary in order that the teachers
may reach Milaca in time for the
meeting at II O'Clock. 1t is probable
that all who so wish may return to
Princeton in time for supper. Follow
ing is the program for the days pro-
ceedings:

MORNING
AFTERNOON
Teachers Picnic.

On Saturday the teachers of the
high school entertained the teachers
OF the Whittier and Brickton schools
at a picnic in beautiful Elk Lake park,
and it was jolly party of frolicsome
maidens which Mr.. Davis drove to
that place in his outing vehicle.
Scientist Fiske champeroned the
young ladies and the only instructor
who did not attend was Supt.
Marshall He couldn't break awav
from the ball game.
The day at the park was passed
very enjoyably in boating, fishing,
etc. At noon bounteous luncheon
was spread in the pavilion which in
cluded delicious coffee and ice cream.
Following the feast some of the girls
played selections on the piano while
others sang and the musical part of
the program concluded with "Home,
Sweet Home" by Mr.. Pratt's powerful
photograph.
Yes, twas jolly time that the girls
had, but MIR. Fiske appeared to be a
tride lonesome, probably because he
was the only one in the party who did
not wear a merry widow hat.
Supper was eaten on the way home
and the girls are already planning
another picnic at Elk Lake park.

Athletic Association Entertainments.

Nothing so highly successful as the
literary and musical entertainment on
Friday night was ever presented by
the High School Athletic association,
and the society has put up some good
productions. It was excellent from
start to finish, and much credit is due
those who took part as we'll as
those who planned the program.
The song, "Pussy Willows" rem
dered by Miss Huse's little girls, was
especially good, and the tots demon
strated that they had been carefully
and skillfully trained. A reading,

hour, Mr.. Terrell does not contem-
plate running it quite as fast as that
unless it be in cases of emergency. It
is one Of the easiest riders to be OBJ
tained-there is virtually no jar even
when the machine climbs over piles of
niggerheads. By the way, this was
fully demonstrated when Bill ran it
over the rocks at Chas. Keith's place
merely to test it's mountaineering
properties of course.
Since the machine was brought up
from the cities Mr.. Terrell has been
kept busy giving his friends rides
around the country. Anyone can get
a ride for the asking, and there is no
danger of a smashup with Bill at the
wheel. The auto responds. to his
touch instantaneously-it will run in
lines circular, serpentine or TRAN
gular. It is splendid machine, all
right.
So well is Thos. h. Galley pleased
with the car that he has ordered one
of the same make, but Mr.. Terrell
says it will have an additional device
attached in the shape Of cowcatcher.

BAND BOYS: GET $50
Council Donates This Sum Upon Con-
ditiOn That Weekly Outdoor
Concerts Are Given.
rluch Needed Crosswalk Will Be Laid
Between Princeton Hotel and
the Larson Warehouse.

The business of the council was
light at it's regular meeting on Thurs
day evening, but it accomplished at
least one thing good-that of ordering
crosswalk laid between the Prince
ton hotel and the Wikeen & Larson
building on the opposite side of the
street, as suggested in last week S
. Mon. A committee was also ap-
pointed anent this matter to wait upon
Messrs. Wikeen & Larson and en-
deavor to persuade them to put down
a cement sidewalk alongside of their
warehouse.
The band boys appeared before the
council in body and asked that they
be given $50 to assist them in pur-
chasing instruments, etc. r. E. Jones,
who knows considerable about bands
himself and especially the many or.
CARNATIONS in Princeton which have
gone bump, gave the boys some sound
advice. He said that the village had
contributed towards maintaining
bands upon several occasions and
that there were instruments which the
village had purchased scattered all
over town at this time. He named
places where drums and horns could
be found hanging up unused which
belonged to the village. After Mr..
Jones had lectured the applicants for
donation until some of them
trembled, he made a motion that S5C
be given them provided they give a
concert in the court house park every
Friday night throughout the summer
months and report to the council
from time to time as to the condition
and whereabouts Of the instruments.
The motion of Councilman Jones was
unanimously adopted and the band
played 1.-The Merry Widow" in ap-
probation of the councils generosity
There is nothing that will enliven a
town more than good band, and the
boys seem to be doing their best to
give Princeton a frst-class musical
organization.
r. E. Jones and DR.. Armitage were
appointed committee to examine the
old chemical engine and ascertain
whether it would be possible to put it
in shape so that it could be again
used. If this can be done the chemical
will be used for fire purposes across
the river.
Saloon licenses we're granted Sio-
blom & Olson and Clarence Hill, a
number of bills audited, and the
council adjourned.

G.. ". Harter has sold his residence
property in the village of Princeton

his farm. The property is among
the most desirable in the village. Mr..
Harter wishes to express, through

CREAMERY STARTED
Part of Material on Grounds and Ex-
cavating Begun for Founda-
ton of the Building.
Farmers Are Enthusiastic and No Diff
ficulty Will Be Experienced
in Disposing of Stock.

A meeting of the directors of the
Princeton Cooperative Creamery
association was held at the opera
house on Saturday for the purpose of
determining whether the construction
of the building should be pushed
ahead at once or a stay taken until
more money had been paid into the
treasury.
Treasurer Chas. Judkins reported
that ST, 22O had been received at the
First National bank for stock and said
he felt confident that many more
farmers would take shares. Mr.. Jud-
kins strongly advised that an i'm
mediate start be made, and this
seemed to be the unanimous opinion
of the board.
John Dalchow said he felt sure that
there would be no difficulty in readily
disposing of stock after the building
of the creamery had commenced; he
knew of farmers who would double the
number of shares held by them and of
others who would subscribe just as
soon as they had time to come to town.
Mr.. Dalchow was positive that the
farmers on the list who had not paid
up would do so at their earliest op-
portunity.
Robert S. Shaw agreed with
Mr.. Dalchow, but suggested that the
directors make thorough canvass
for the sale of stock in their respec-
tive territories. In this suggestion the
board unanimously acquiesced.
It was decided by a unanimous
vote that August Jaenicke proceed at
once to construct the creamery, and
President Louis Rust so instructed.
The inspection of the plans for the
building consumed considerable time
and it was decided to make some
slight alterations in the same.
Henry Holthus' resignation was
read, accepted, and Otto Henschel
elected to succeed him.-. Mr. Hanschel
is capable, trustworthy man for the
position.
A motion was then carried empower
ing August Jaenicke to supervise and
hire men for the construction of the
whole building, including carpenter
work; he was further authorized to
purchase all material for such con-
structiOn and requested to divide his
orders among the business men of the
town provided material could be pur-
chased as cheaply from one as an
other.
The question of lawn and flower
garden on two sides of the creamery
was discussed and it was agreed to
set the building back ten feet from the
sidewalk to permit Of this arrange
>ment.
Another meeting of the directors
will be held at the opera house on
Saturday, May %, at 2 'clock in the
afternoon for the purpose of receiving
bids for the equipment of the creamery
and hiring of buttermaker.
Sandstone for the foundation of the
creamery is now on the ground and
-excavating has commenced. The
brick for the building has also been
ordered and Mr.. Jaenicke will push
the construction to completion as rap
idly as possible. Stock in the CON-
pany is being daily subscribed for at
the First National bank and farmers,
with but very few exceptions, are en-
thusiastic over the creamery enter
prise.

Judge Spooner to depart for the
west Immediately after the first of
April, leaving the balance of the
court matters to his successor or to
Judge McClenahan.
However, as there is term of
court in this city at the present
time, and as Judge McClenahan ha S
several matters of litigation that will
occupy his attention for some time
to come, it is doubtful whether
Judge Spooner will be able to get
away until we'll on into April.
During the past month Judge
Spooner has received many letters
from attorneys practicing in the
Fifteenth district, as we'll as from
other parts of the state, in which
the writer's express the sincere wish
that the judge will not leave the
bench and assured him that they re-
garded him as one of the most i'm
partial and fair jurists in the entire
state.
The bar of Bemidji adopted a
resolution indicating the high esteem
in which the local lawyers held
Judge Spooner, and the press
throughout the district; with one
accord, has expressed the hope that
Judge Spooner would not leave the
district.
It is doubtful if any Judge in the
State of Minnesota enjoys a more
universal popularity throughout his
district than does Judge Spooner.
He is we'll liked for his personal in.
tregrity and upright manhood, and
in his official compacity has always
been considered very fair and i'm.
partial.
In the resignation of Judge
Spooner the district loses a valuable
jurist whose fitness it will be a
difficult matter to equal. ..-
