there was enough hand-clapping to
arouse the troupe's detected spirits,
The leading man stepped to the foot

SHOOTS MAN FOR MOOSE.
Minnesota sportsman Tries Hard to
Atone for Fatal Mistake.

Brainerd. Minn. To walk many
miles to give himself up for man
slaughter, ride in the cars from 3:45
in the morning to noon. appear before
a district Judge during the noon hour,
plead guilty, and be sentenced and
start for the reformatory at 1920 p. m,
is the fate Of Charles Wingren, who
shot Peter Larson, mistaking him for
a moose. east of Rapid river, back
from Beaudette.
Wingren, who is a young homestead
er who recently married a widow with
six children. was trailing moose in
one of the most sparsely settled re-
gions of Koochiching county, and. see
ing an object he supposed was the
moose, fired two shots. the second of
which penetrated Larson's bowels. He
died before medical aid reached him.
Wingren left at once alone for Inter
national Falls and gave Himself up. In
company with Sheriff Walsh and Coun-
ty Attorney Stanton he came to Brain
erd and. having telegraphed to Judge
McClenehan, found him awaiting them
while the train stopped here for din
ner. The train remains from 1910 TO
1920. and in that time Wingren had
pleaded guilty and the party left at
once for ST. Cloud.
Mr.. Stanton went on to st. Paul and
will lay the matter before the board OF
pardons at once, and hopes to have
Wingren released, as there was no
question but that it was an accident.
and the fact that the country was prac-
tlcally uninhabited renders the care
lessness more excusable.

BUYING PAINT BLINDlY.

Many people look upon paint buy
Ing as lottery and SO 1t is. the way
they do 1t. 1t is not necessarily So.
however. Pure White LeaI and lin
seed oil are the essential elements OF
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use OF a
blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil
can be detected with a fair degree Of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and the
paint will stay put.
