The TWO RAYMOND BURGLARS
WEAKEN and TAKE SENTENCE
Sheriff Bondes Line of Ccumna Evidence Proves So Stron(
Justice One is An Old Offender and Saltwater Inmate

G. A. Coughlin and John Harris,
who broke into the store of Spaeth
Bros. in Raymond and stole jew
elry valued at about $500. were SEN
fenced by Judge Qvale Monday
morning, the former to three years
at hard labor at the state prison
and the latter to an indefinite stay
at the reformatory at St. Cloud.
On Wednesday evening last they
called for an attorney and signified
their intention Of pleading guilty,
and later their petition to that
effect was presented to the Judge.
The prisoners were photographed
at Void & Simons' gallery Friday
afternoon and a copy of their pho
to was at once forwarded to War
den Wolfer at the state prison in
Saltwater. Saturday afternoon the
following telegram was received
here by Sheriff Bonde from the
warden:
"Oldest man has been here twice ;
first time 81 years for grand lar
ceny second degree; second time q
years, grand larceny second degree.
See letter.
On Monday morning the letter
referred to came, and it proved be-
yond all doubt just what the sheriff
had suspected, namely that the old
er of the two was an old-timer at
the business and that he had prob
ably been in the works before. A
copy of the letter follows:
Saltwater, Sept. 10, '08.
MIR. Peter Bonde,
Sheriff Kandiyohi County,
Willmar, MINI.

closed photograph of two men held

George Tyler, the Elk River at
torney, was in town last Tuesday
and paid the Herald office pleas
ant visit. Mr.. Tyler is one of the
ablest young attorneys in eastern
Minnesota and is making good
rapidly in Sherburne county. He
has filed for the republican nomin-
alton for county attorney of Sher-
burne county, and having no oppo-
sition at the primaries, will meet
Charles S. Wheaton, candidate for
the democratic nomination, at the
general election in November. Mr..
Tyler should win out as he not only
has the ability to care for the office
but is also mighty good fellow
personally. In addition he is run
ming on a republican ticket in a re-
publican county in a presidential
year, combination rather hard tc
beat. .-Anoka Herald.

the tiling came down, cutting a
hole in his arm and bruising it so
severely that he will be laid up

THE BALL GAMES
The Games of Street Baseball
During Fair Proved Popular.

The closing game between the
Gophers and the Buffaloes proved
to be by far the most exciting of
the series. Each of the teams had
carried off the honors once, the Co.
piers on Thursday and the Buffa-
loes on Friday, and this game was
to decide the championship. All
the boys seemed to realize that this
was chance of a lifetime to shine
and they shone for all they were
worth. Hengstler and Sletten, the
pitchers, were both pounded hard
but some brilliant fielding stunts
kept the score from going up to
100. To mention each Individual
star would take 20 items, for every
body was on deck with the best in
him. The score see-sawed from
one side to the other all thru the
game, but the final result was in
favor Of the Buffaloes 13 to IL.
The crowd was a large one and
thoroly awake. Every star play
was greeted with loud applause
and even the umpire, who is usual.
ly obliged to carry an umbrella tC
keep the eggs away, was roundl,
cheered in his decisions. The diff
cult role handled SO we'll as t(
bring forth cheers was taken by A
O. Anderson, better known to tht
boys as collie" Anderson, umpire
in the Northern League during the
baseball season and brakeman OF
the Sioux Falls nine during tht
remainder of the year. Person
superintendent Of the water an(
light plant, handled the indicator
on Thursday, and "Mellie" Gran
gard, the star catcher Of thu
"Daisy' club, and hero of many :
local tussle in the baseball line, act
ed as referee on Friday.
The interest in the foot races in
creased each day Of the fair, ant
the last day the streets were crowd
ed to the limit with eager specta
tors. We publish below list O

WILLMAR DID WIN
The 1905 Street Fair Proved A
Big Success, and Made Good
on Claim of BEST Ever.

lFrom Saturdays Special Ildition.)
Thousands of people throng the
streets of our city, in glorious sun
ny weather. The greastest Fair in
Willmar's history is drawing to a
close.
From today on Willmar's watch
word, as far as fairs are concerned,
will be "WILLMAR DID WIN."
From Wednesday till today the at
tendance has steadily increased and
all previous records of attendance
have been broken. 1t is estimated
that yesterday alone there were
more than 10000 people on the
grounds. And q better, more jolly
lot of visitors Willmar never enter
tanned. Everybody has been filled
with the right carnival spirit, and
everybody has helped everybody to
have a good time.
The exhibits everywhere are bet
ter and more numerous than ever
before. There were over 800 en-
tries-16O in the arts, 116 in the
horticultural and "a in the stock
exhibits. Besides these, the 80
booths on Midway are crowded with
all sorts of exhibits by our leading
business houses, and each and
everyone Of them has been accorded
a most liberal amount Of attention
on the part of the visitors.
The poultry display this year
brought out some of the best birds
in the county. 1t was admitted by
everybody that they are the finest
birds ever brought to any street
fair in Willmar, and some compare
favorably with any in the state.
The Citizens parade on Thursday
was a grand success. There was a
large and interesting turnout, and
Marshal Martin E. Tew handled the
parade in a splendid manner, every
thing working smoothly. The
stock parade yesterday was also a
success and called forth a number
of favorable comments on the parts
of the spectators.
Willmar has made good on the
street fair proposition this year.
It did so because of the hearty CO.
operation on the part of the vari-
ous committees and the business
people. Willmar invited every
body to come, promising them the
Best Ever fair, and we feel sure
that those who have been with lis
the past four days will go home
and say that our fair "City OF
Homes" lived up to it's promise
Willmar invites you to come again,
to visit or, better still, to live here
Come and be one of US.

county for the crime of grand lar
ceny in the second degree; dis
charged December Sd, 1907.
l enclose copy of telegram which
l have sent you, and if l can be of
any further service to you in the
matter, kindly let me know, and l
shall be glad to do so.
Very truly Yours,
Minnesota State Prison,
(Signed) Henry Wolfer,
Warden.
When questioned by the judge
before sentence was passed, Cough
lin said that he was IS years old,
single. and a native of Indiana.
He had been in the state about
eight years ago, but since then only
for few short stays. He said he
had never been convicted of a fel-
ony before, but when the Judge
asked him if it was not fact that
he had twice served time at the
state prison, he broke down and
confessed. In passing sentence,
Judge Qvale stated that because of
his frankness in admitting his pre-
vious record he would not give him
the limit of the law but only three
years at hard labor. John Harris
said he was an orphan, "a years old
and single, and that his home was
in Chicago. He could not furnish
any reference as to his previous
record, but he had never before
been convicted of any crime. He
was a sheet metal worker by trade
and he had been in the state only
about seven weeks. Presumably
because of the law-breakers' youth,
the Judge sentenced him to the
state reformatory at St. Cloud for
an indefinite time, instead of to the
prison.
Harris was taken to St. Cloud
yesterday and Coughlin to Still
water in charge of Sheriff Bonde
and Deputy Crawford.
The crime committed by these
fellows was one of the boldest ever
perpetrated in the county, and the
sheriff deserves a great deal of cre-
dit for his prompt and efficient
work. 1t is safe to- say that law
breakers of this kind will not come
very close to Kandiyohi county af-
ter this, at least not for a good
long while.
