Board of Equalization.

On page 7 is printed the official re-
port of the proceedings of the county
commissioners and the county board
of equalization. In equalizing the
assessments the board carefully re-
viewed the returns from each village
and township and passed upon each
as it deemed fair to the taxpayers. In
some instances assessments have been
increased and in others decreased.
Real estate in the town of Hayland,
which the last weeks Union stated
had been increased per cent, was
further revised with the result that
such increase is now 20 per cent.
For details of the boards work see

HARRY NABS HIS MAN
Sheriff Shockley Manifests His Skill
as Sleuth in Running Down
Foreston Burglar.
Follows Criminal Into Benton County
and Captures Him by Strategy
T.
in a Farmers Barn,

Sheriff Shockley conveyed Lemuel
Randall of Foreston to the, Hennepin
county jail on Friday TO await the
finding of the grand jury at the next
term OF court on the. charge of bur-
glary. .
Randall, it is alleged, entered the
depot at Foreston about month ago
and stole therefrom a number Of
tickets. He forged the agents name
to one. of these tickets and boarded
train. When he presented this ticket
to Conductor Eastman he was asked
where he obtained it and, giving an
evasive answer, he rushed to the car
entrance and jumped off, Mr.. Eastman
discharging his revolver over the
head of the fellow as he leaped.
Sheriff Shockley was notified of
Randall's actions and, armed with a
warrant and Colt, started on the
hunt. No clue could at first be OBJ
tanned to the whereabouts of the fell
low, but the sheriff made several trips
and at last received such information
as led him to believe that Randall
was working on farm in Benton
county. Together with Deputy Sheriff
Smith of Milaea he on Wednesday of
last week proceeded to the place indi-
Gated, when Smith was Instructed to
60 to the farm house while the sheriff
hid in clump of bushes near at hand.
Smith approached the house and,
being admitted, apprised the lady
thereof of his mission. She answered,
"'All right, sir,' and locked the door
on Smith, making him prisoner. In
the meantime the sheriff, from his hid
ing place in the brush, espied Randall
going toward the barn. Getting down
fat on his vest buttons Mr.. Shockley
crawled across several rods of swamp
and, emerging from the bullrushes,
ran up the hillside and into the barn.
There, with his hand on his gatling,
he came face to face with Randall:
who jocularly exclaimed, s'Ah, ali,
you are the sheriff; that d. deputy
didn't get me, did he? I set a trap
for him all right, but I didn't know
you were in the country.' Randall
was then placed under arrest and the
sheriff proceeded to the house where
Smith was imprisoned and demanded
his release under threat of breaking
down the door. The door was i'm
mediately opened and Smith flew out
of the coop. Sheriff Shockley had ex-
pected Smiths assistance in making
. the arrest, but he didn't get it.
Randall was, taken to Milaca and
arraigned before Justice Price upon
the charge of burglary. He waived
examination and was remanded to
Jail.

again, there is the fine fishing to. be
obtained. Big strings are being
brought in daily and Sunday was a
record breaker. One string con-
sisted of twenty-seven pickerel and
the fish were far from being infants,
the largest weighing Is pounds.
Black bass, perch, crappies and SUM-
fish were also caught in large number.
. On Tuesday the Methodist Sunday
school children held their annual
picnic at the lake and many of their
parents as we'll as others of the con-
gregation were also present. Rev.

who did not take a spin in this pretty
craft. Dinner and supper we're
served in the pavilion and in the eve

Able Address to Christian En-
~
deavOrers on Sunday.
Speaker Gives an Interesting and In.
structive Account of Society's
Rapid Advancement.

The "Young Peoples Sunday" at
the Congregational church last Sab
bath was a decided success in spite of
the oppressive hot weather. The visit
of Walter D. Howell of St. Paul,
State Christian Endeavor field secre-
tary, made the day one of especially
helpful privilege. In the afternoon
at 3 O'Clock Mr.. Howell held a
workers. conference with the Christian
Endeavor and the suggestions and ad-
vice which he gave will undoubtedly
be of great aid in the work of the
society. -.N.'..,..
Mr.. Howell's address at the union
service in the evening on "World-
Wide Christian Endeavor" was rare
treat to those present. He gave a
most interesting account of this great
young peoples movement and showed
in graphic manner the magnitude and
breadth of it's work. He said that
there are now over 10000 Christian
Endeavor societies scattered over
the globe, and that their membership
reaches grand total of over $780,
900. These societies are found in all
the Protestant denominations and
some Of the most vigorous and
efficient are in missionary lands. The
largest is Baptist society in Phila-
delphia, and contains over 900 men,
bers. The next in size, however, is in
India, and has membership of 600. -
In his Introductory remarks Mr..
Howell spoke of the International
Christian Endeavor convention to be
held in July of next year at St. Paul.
1t is expected that at least 10000 dele
gates will be present at that conven-
ton from all over the United States
and Canada.

met defeat at the hands of Foley
st. Cloud-Clear Lake team. When
the teams met on the diamond both
showed good form and fast game
was promised. Schroeder was detailed
by Foley to do the slab work and
Manager Hass sent Szymanski to the
mound for Princeton.
The first inning indicated that a
pitchers battle was to follow, and the
game showed that the Princeton man
got the best of it as he struck out 10
to Schroder's 4. The first man up for
Foley accepted a straight one, the
first ball thrown, and landed on it for
two bases, but as the next man was
struck out and his follower put an
easy one to Walker and was out at
first, then another strike out finished
the inning, and he was seen there the
remainder of the inning. For Prince
ton the first man hit safe for one
sack, the next three men for Prince
ton hit the ball but to no safe place.
and thus retired the side.
The next inning was started by
Szymanski striking out the first man.
The second man hit safe for one base.
Szymanski frightened and struck out
the next while the next hit to Walker
in the field and retired the side. Four
men batted in the second but all hit in
the infeld and only secured one base.
Foley was only allowed hitters in the
thhird-two of these tanning and one
hitting an easy fly to the field. Prince
ton took five hitters for their part of
the inning and it looked like score,
as one of the boys got third and
another reached second, but the next
two batters hit into some ones hands
and the side was retired. During the
last part of this inning Umpire Hill
was obliged to call the game on ac-
count OF rain. In about half an hour
it let up and play was again resumed,
but only one inning could be played
as rain" set in again and looked like
an all-day shower. The players all'left
the grounds and the game was called
off till 1870. At 4:3O it was still rain
ing and the ground was in no condi-
ton for playing, so the Princeton
boys took off their suits. At about
5 o'clock Manager Hass came to the
boys and stated that unless the game
was played out that Foley would not
pay expenses, so the game was re-
sumed at 6 o'clock. The ball was so
wet that it was almost impossible for
the pitchers to throw it.
In the four innings that followed
Szymanski struck out five men and
Schroeder four. Again in the fourth
inning Princeton got two men on
bases but failed to score.
The game did not look to be either
sides till the seventh when Szymanski
hit the first man up. He then tight
ened and struck the next man out.
The next batter got a pass and the
next man hit safe to right field and
the winning score was in.
The score by innings at SUNDAYS
