He Favored O Whistle.

A local church appointed a COM
mittee to getsubscriptionsf a chime
Of bells. They had seen nearly all
the congregation. When they went
to see a rather poor member they told
him they would like a small amount

a whistle in?"-Argonaut.

Novel Fish Catching.

Evidently, there is a fish hog" at

judge so, from the following, taken
from the Crookston Journal: The
gentleman who does the raking of
the Stats in the forebay at the power
house dam has been pulling in pick
erel and pike in the rake lines
making good catches in many
instances.
The Crookston game warden
should get after this party as there is
no law allowing an angler to use
either hay rake or a garden rake
for the purpose of getting in fish.

Result Puts Democrats in Complete
Control.
st. Paul, May 7.-Daniel w. Lawler,
Dem, is the next mayor of st. Paul.
He defeated Joseph McKibbin, Rep,
by one of the most sweeping victories
in the history of local campaigns, cap
turing the office by plurality of
about 1000.
Mr.. cMcKibbin carried only four
wards, the First, Seventh, Tenth and
Eleventh, securing in only one of
these, the Seventh, the normal Repub
lican vote, while in the other wards
which he carried he ran away below
Republican estimates and even Demo
cratic concessions. On the other hand
Mr.. Lawler, in carrying the other eight
wards, piled up vote in each district
far in advance of the figures expected.
The Democrats also elected Louis
Betz controller and Otto Bremen treas
urer and made their victory sweeping
by securing eight of the nine assem-
blymen and ten of the twelve alder
men.

self killed in the fire or had substi-
tuted the remains of one of her female
victims for herself and then set fire
to the house to cover up the crime.
1t is pointed out as opposing the be-
lief that Mrs. Guinness is alive that
the day before the Guinness home was
burned the woman deposited $1,000 in
the State bank here. She was wort,
about $4,000 and her passion for
money is given as the incentive for
the crimes committed. A belief that
she might be alive includes the sup
position that she feared Lamphere
was about to expose her through jeal-
ousy.
The officers also have the mystery
of five trunks shipped from Chicago
to the Guinness farm to solve. These
trunks all arrived in Laporte during
the last four months and in view of
the developments it is probable that
they contained human bodies, which
now lie hidden in some secluded spot
on the farm.
Anton Olson of Highlands, Ind,
father of Jennie Olson, who was adopt
ed by Mrs. Guinness, has identified
the body found as that of his daugh
ter. He said:
81 know it is my daughter by her
shape and by her wavy, light colored
hair. I heard from her about two
years ago, but had not received a
letter since that time. Mrs. Guinness
took my daughter when she was eight
months old and had charge of her

Laporte, Ind, May 7.-One more
body has been disinterred on the
Guinness farm near here, making a
total of six. 1t is believed that more
bodies will be found, as several ribs
were picked up during the work Of the
morning which did not belong to any
Of the bodies previously found.
The body disinterred was so badly
decomposed that it is impossible to
state whether it is that of a male or
female until more careful exanina-
ton has been made. An examination
made of the two bodies which had
been supposed to be those of children
has revealed that they are those of
adults and probably men. There is at
present no possible clue to their iden-
tity. They have evidently been bur-
led for several years. All of them
were dismembered in the same man
ner as that of the man supposed to be
Helgelein, a Dakota farmer A. K.
Helgelein insists that the body is that
of his brother, while DR.. Meyer de-
clares that the differences between
Helgelein's description and the char
acteristics of the corpse are so great
as to make it impossible for the body
to be that of Andrew Helgelein.
Another mystery has developed in
the series of murders committed in
and around the Guinness house. The
sheriff has begun an Investigation into
the disappearance of Ole Budsberg of
lola, Wis. Budsberg came to Laporte
in March, 1907. He was acquainted
with Mrs. Guinness and in company
with her visited the Laporte Savings
bank, where he deposited note for
$1,000 to be collected by the Farmers
State bank of lola, Wis. The note
was paid April G., 1907, and Budsberg
received $1,000 from the Laporte
bank. He has never been seen since
that time. Messages sent from here
to lola have elected the fact that he
never returned to that place.
Officers advance the theory that the
bodies of the men found were those
of matrimonial dupes of the woman;
that they came here with the expecta-
ton of marrying Mrs. Guinness and
that after she got their money she
put them out of the way.
Believed Woman Is Still Alive.
From out of the mass of tangled and
sensational evidence there has devel-
oped the theory that Mrs. Guinness
did not die in the fire which destroyed
her home on the night of April % and
that she is still alive and probably in
Chicago. This theory is strengthened
by the fact that the head of the body
