Julius Grabow at Calhoun, five miles
east of here, who shot and seriously
wounded Olga Grabow, aged fourteen

after the house had been riddled with
bullets and every pane of glass in the
building broken. Smith was found
hiding behind keg in a small attic.

MANY GIRLS TO BE FREED
Those Over Eighteen Cannot Be Held
In Training Schools.

st. Paul, Sept. 21.-As the result OF
an opinion rendered by the state legal
department the state board of control
ordered the discharge from the state
training school at Red Wing of all
girls committed from st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth who have reached
the age of eighteen years. Others are
to be discharged as soon as they reach
that age.
In all 103 girls committed from the
Twin Cities are involved and it will
Immediately affect about twenty-five
girls who will have to be discharged
at once. Indirectly affected are sew
eral hundred girls committed from the
country districts as to whom the law
as yet has not been construed.
The decision of the board and the
opinion, which was given by Assistant
Attorney General Peterson, followed a
decision given by Judge Williston OF
the Goodhue county district court, in
which he ordered the release of Mary
Pittman, a girl sent from st. Paul
Her relatives sued out writ of ha.
beas corpus, which was sustained, and
the legal department, after looking
into the matter, decided that an ap
peal would avail nothing.

The request of my friends | asked the
different parties to increase their ad-

company did accordingly increase

that time that the transaction would
be Immediately closed, but there was
a delay of a few days and at the end
of that delay the whole transaction
fell to the ground, because other peo
pie had stepped in and purchased the
property. Thereupon / returned the
draft to the Standard Oil company.
Il do not remember to have re-
ceived the letter relating to the bill
introduced by Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas, but whether received such a let
ter or not it had no reference to any
employment of any kind from the
Standard Oil company or anybody
else; nor did the letters about Smith
Bennett and Judge Burkett read by
Mr.. Hearst at Columbus have any ref
erence to any employment. / favored
the nomination of Mr.. Bennett, not
withstanding Mr. Archbold's objection
TO him, and would have favored Judge
Burkett's nomination if / had not

nominated, which was long before
