CASE AGAINST ELMER
ALTON WAS DISMISSED
Brant Girl, Who Made Grave CHARGE
Against Alton, Admitted that
She Lied. =
...-... -

Elmer Alton, who was arrested or
Tuesday on the complaint of the
mother OF Margaret Brant, a 9-year
old girl, charged with grave statu
tory offense, was released yesterday
at 100 p. m. on motion of County
Attorney Henry Funkley.
1t appears that the Brant girl
made grave charges as to having
been mistreated by a man and indi.
Gated that the offender was Mr..
Alton. The latter has been in the
employ of Hagberg & Knopke in the
Bemidji Meat Market and the story
told by the girl implicated Alton
pretty strongly.
Alton was placed in jail Tuesday
afternoon and was held there Tues.
day night and Wednesday forenoon.
In the meantime the officials gave
the Brant girl a close questioning,
with the result that the youngster
finally stated decisivevly that. Mr..
Alton was not the man who had
committed the offense charged.
The case against Alton was dis
missed yesterday afternoon and he
was released from custody at the
request of the county attorney.
The officials took up the matter
with the parents of the Brant girl
with the result that they promised
Immediately to send the girl to a
private school, the authorities in:
sisting that if this was not done at
once, they would take steps to send
the girl to the reformatory at Red
Wing.
Mr.. Alton is to be congratu-
lated on having escaped the charges
which the girl lodged against him.
From what can be learned, the
girl, although 9 years old, has very
reputation, and should at
once be given severe training for
the betterment of her morals.
The girl might have designated
almost any man on the street as
being the one who committed the
acts which she charged. Mr.. Alton
has always born an uublemished
reputation and the lies told by the
girl failed to shake the faith which
his employers and his wife had in
his moral integrity.

Fred Jordan's Character READING.

Our friend Fred Jordan, through
his long training as commercial
traveller, is a good judge of human
nature.
On estimating character, Fred
gives out the following as being a
few of the signs that never fail:
IF a man carries matches in the
check pocket of his coat, and you
see him buying cigars, you may
know that he is addicted to smok-
ing. 49, =
IF a man has habit of
clinching his fist and knitting his
brow when you swear at him, set
him down as quick-tempered man.
When a mans shoes run over at
the heels on the outside, his collar
is frayed, his trousers bag at the
knees, his hat has dents in it and he
always looks as though he needs
a shave, this indicates that he has
the literary temperament.
The man who whistles popular
airs in a car, and always gets the
tune wrong, is fond of onions.
= IF you see a man cutting the
cooking recipes out of the pape,
and throwing them away, you may
decide that he is a cunning man
whose wife is doing her own cook.
ing. -.- g.
4 If you notice a man with a
black eye, broken nose, patches
of courtplaster on his cheeks, ar
arm in sling and two or three
teeth missing, he is man of comba
tive disposition but poor Judgment

THE NEW ORGANIZATION
WILL BOOST" MINNESOTA
Lycan Tells Of the Good Work Planned to Re- Done hv
the Minnesota Federation Of Commercial Clubs
Organized Last Week

F. S. Lycan, president, and c. J.
Pryor, secretary, of the Bemidii
Commercial Club, came in last even
ing from St. Paul, where they were
last week attending and participant
ing in the organization of the new
Minnesota Federation of Commercial
Clubs. t,... ....
Speaking of the new organization
and its purposes Mr.. Lycan says:
In organizing the new federation
there has been formed a great asso-
citation Of boosters for Minnesota,
which will do much good work for
the state. - -
The new federation is business
men's organization: It has adopted
the advertising of Minnesota and
making the state better known as its
central purpose, and will consider
as its legitimate field of work all
business questions relating to state
advertising and development, in
creasing the effectiveness Of individ-
ual commercial clubs and similar
organizations in their own fields, and
the bringing about of system and
harmony between all such organiza-
tons in all work for greater Min
nesota. r.. r.: - 49,, .....s.
An important feature of the con-
stitution is that the active business
affairs of the federation will be left
to the wisdom of the we'll distributed
and representative executive COM
mittee. Another important feature
is that every commercial club in the
state is on an equal footing. St.

We did as be suggested, and now
for the benefit Of others who may
be afflicted with insomnia we feel it
to be our dutyto report what hap

morning to recall the details. First
let us say our friend was right. We
did 90 to sleep very soon after our
retirement. -....
Then friend with his head under
his arm came along and asked us if
we wanted to buy his feet. We were
negotiating with him when the
dragon on which we were riding
slipped out. Of his skin and left us
floating in mid-air.: While we were

a bull with two heads peered over

climb out and rig. ! windlass for him.
So as we were sliding down the
mountain side the brakeman came
in, and we asked him when the train
would reach our station. We
passed your station 400 years ago.,
he said, calmly folding the train up
and slipping it into his vest pocket.
At this juncture the clown bounded
into the ring and pulled the center
pole out of the ground, lifting. the
tent and all the people in it up, up,
up, while we stood on the earth be-
low watching ourselves 60 out of
sight among the clouds above. Then
we awoke and found that we had
been asleep almost ten minutes"

TUNNEL AT
 BROOKS GAP Great Progress is Being
 Made. THREE MORE MONTHS NEEDED May Undertake Grading of |. X N.
 M. & M. Division. Also There is Talk of Eniargiug Tn. Local Yards of L. and Moe pends on Future Business
 Development.

Within the next three months the biggest piece of work that has been attempted on the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad in a good many years will be completed on the South and North division. It is tunnel at Brooks Gap built for nearly half a mile through the solid rock The grade right there at present is un- usually heavy, so steep In fact that it Is difficult at times to get a heavily loaded freight train over it. In order to do away with this grade and to stratghten out the track as much as possible the gigantic task of cutting tunnel through the granite hills was commenced a year or so ago.
 It has cost lots of money to build the tunnel for the interior is all lined ana reinforced with concrete co pre- vent any possibility of a cave-in. When 1t is completed a new track just to the left of the present track going north will be built. doing away alto gether with the twists and turns neces- sary to get past Brooks Gap at present. The tunnel is something like half A mile in length and it is expected to be completed by the middle of December.
 With the gradual revival of business several other big Improvements that had been authorized will be started again. Actual work was beginning on some of this work on the South and North. but the falling off of business and general depression of the money market during the past year caused the work to be stopped. Since then 1t has never been renewed but rail road men think that there is a prob- ability of the work being taken up again within the next month or so.
 One of the biggest pieces of work on the system is the strengthening out of
