According to associated press re-
ports, Billy Sunday famed out" in
a foolish fashion while addressing a
gathering of ministers recently.
MANY of you are grafters pure and
simple" he said, there are some of
you preaching today that should be
carrying a hod." Billy's most ar
dent admirers will hardly stand for
such exaggerated discourtesy. Alas
for the rarity of Christian charity
Billy appears to be little shy on the
simple virtues of Christian charity
and humility.

Governor johnson went on record
recently in an interview that he
would / not run for reelection as
governor whether turned down at
Denver or not. The governor was
probably sincere, but politicians of
both parties predict that he will be
as clay.in the hands of the potter
when the state convention Of his
party meets::and dominates him, as
it undoubtedly will. Few public
men have been more conspicuously
in the hands of their friends than
Gov. johnson: land the most demon.
strative Of these friends are Of
course thessfriends who hold down 8

fitted and the value thereof raised.
That means the selling value of the
land will be raised Immediately
several thousands Of dollars. Also
that the producing value Of the
drained land will mean thousands
of dollars to the farmers every year.
The profile. Of the ditch was
written on legal cap paper, pasted
together. making one strip 80 feet
long. It contains over 10000
figures. It took one person week
to write a copy Of the profile.
There are several hundred farmers,
nevertheless. who are quite inter-
ested in it even if it is considerable
longer than some presidential
messages.
In connection with the affair,
County Surveyor Becvar had done
a good stroke of work. Mr.. Becvar
handled the engineers work and did
it with credit both to himself and
Redwood county whom he repre-
sents in an official capacity. The
engineer has big job and lots Of
responsibility in work of this kind
but Surveyor Becvar handled the
work without slip. In his field
notes he had every item down that
would be of any use to the viewers
and when those gentlemen took hold
they were able to able to go over
the work with no delay at any time.

The gift Of ST., 900 to mayor Robt.
Smith of st. Paul was doubtless
given by most of the business men
of that city with the best of motives,
and it may seem in bad taste to
question them. But considering the
charge which was freely made that
Mayor Smith was the plant tool of
the gang which has dominated st.
Paul politics for many years, we
question whether the moral effect of
the gift will be to make future
mayors Of that city great reformers.

Dime Novel Hero from New Ulm.

The Ambrose IS. d. Newsman
gives the following exciting account
of the final exit Of a cowboy who
tried to emulate the exploits of some
of the heroes portrayed in some of
the questionable novels which have
helped to create taste for crime
on the part of young America.
"A western cowboy and notorious
horse thief, called Bloody Knife by
those who knew him over in Monta-
ma, came riding into Ambrose dur
ing the afternoon of the 25th. full of
drink and the devil. and looking for
trouble.
About the same time reports
came in from the country stating
how the ruffian had bulldozed far
mers with his big pistol by shooting
at their feet and making them dance
so our citizens realized that they
had tough character on their hands
and that something had to be done.
Zone of the first things he did to
create excitement was to ride into
poolroom through the front door
and then ride out the rear way fir
ing his pistol as he went.
;. Attorney Todd and the Newsman
editor tried every means to persuade
him to put away his dangerous wea-
pom, but he only flashed it more and
began to discharge it recklessly. Mr..
Todd grabbed his wrist and tried to
hold the gun downward while the
ruffian was pulling the trigger and
Mr.. Ness struck him on the head
with an empty shotgun. but although
he was temporarily dazed and relax
ed hisgun so that Mr.. Todd securedit,
he soon recovered, made a dash for
his pony, mounted with a hellish
look Of defiance slapped his hand on
his pocket as if about to draw an
other gun.
About this time, the citizens of
Ambrose who had been silent wit
nesses to the affair, decided to take
I hand in the game, hell broke loose
and a terrible fusilade began.
Bloody Knife drove like fury. but
two Of the bullets aimed at him got
him at vital spots and he reeled from
his pony dead man.
AT the inquest which followed
) lit developed that Bloody Knife's
real name was George Zeglin ano
) that his home used to be in New
] Ulm, MINI. On his body were founo
TATTOO marks and also the name, G
Zeglin.
| During the inquest a strange
E lady asked permission to briefl,
view the body. One glance seemed
e to bring about recognition and thel
!, she broke out sobbing with thes'
words on her lips: He was not fl
: to live and is not fit to die
Besides q Lueger automatic re
e volver he had on his person two bot
t ties of whiskey and q blood red sig

Counties Willing to Pay the Cost.


Counties Willing to Pay the Cost
The hearing on judicial Ditch, No.
|, Brown-Redwood counties was held
Friday, May 10Th. in the city hall of
Sleepy Eye, and was we'll attended,
in fact the city hall wasn't large
enough to hold the crowd Every
thing went along smoothly. there
being no serious objections to this
big ditch. Some idea of the size of
this undertaking may be had by the
following from the Morgan Messen-
ger, and later information furnished
US by Engineer Becvar.
The main ditch commences with
six-foot bottom, in Three Lakes
township, Redwood county. which is
gradually increased to a canal, % #.
wide at the bottom, 40 #. across the
top, and averaging 6 #. deep near
Sleepy Eye. The ditch is nowhere
less than 81 #. below the lowest
point of any slough, and deepest cut
is 12a #. deep, ] mile west of Brook
vile creamery south Of Wayburne.
The ditch drains, directly, 1858 acres
of land under water, besides furnish
ing an outlet to hundreds of acres
tributary to sloughs, thereby bene-
fitting.about $4,000 acres of farms,
figuring that where all sloughs are
drained on a quarter section, that
entire quarter section is benefited
in value. The total estimated cost is
over sos 900.
Morgan Messenger.
1t isn't very often that country
paper can deal with large figures
in connection with home enterprises,
but a Redwood-Br county ditch,
known as judicial ditch No. a, is an
exception to the rule.
The proposed ditch, a regular
canal in size, which will probably be
ordered established at the hearing
tomorrow, is an immense affair, in
fact one Of the largest judicial ditch
es in the state. While as yet it is
not reality, it is not anticipated
that there will be any serious objec-
ton to it, as this artificial river will
supply long felt want in the
section Of the country through which
it will traverse. With rainy seasons
to drown out the low places, ditch
| of that character is almost a neces
sity.
The final hearing on the ditch will
, commence tomorrow in Sleepy Eye
before Judge Olsen. The chief
trouble will be an adjustment of the
benefits assessed by the viewers
and when those matters are settled
the Judge will order the ditch con
structed.
RI To give some idea of what thu
proposed ditch will be like we nigh
give the estimated cost. $1O5, 900. Tn,
estimated benefits are in the neigh
borhood of $15O, 900.

cate that while Nielsen was the man

that If he bad 4 gun he would fix Ell
