CHECKS ARE A BAD LOT
ALL PROVED TO BE FORGERIES;
WHO'S w. F. JOHNSON?
He Hands Out a Number of Phony
Ones in Minneapolis; Drawn on
Fairmont Bank.

Fairmont, April 2l.-The Fairmont
National bank received this week a
number of checks, cashed in Mime
apolis, issued on this bank, and bear
ing the signature of w. F. johnson.
The bank officials did not recognize
the signature and no such person has
ever to their knowledge had any ac-
count in the bank
A supply of blank checks are always
kept on desk in the lobby of the
bank. 1t is probable that the party
visited Fairmont recently, and while
in the bank took a quantity OF these
check blanks.
The checks were nearly all cashed
by Minneapolis retail merchants. One
of them was for $52. This morning
eight of these checks had been received
for different amounts, aggregating over
$3.50.
The Minneapolis banks were advised
at once of the fact that the checks
were worthless and police of that city
are now looking for the party.

GIRL s HAND THE PRIZE
TWO YOUNG MEN IN ST. CLOUD
TO DON GLOVES.
Aspirants for the Smile of Young Lady
to Settle the Question BY
Going Into the Ring.

st. Cloud, April 2l.-Two young
bloods of this city have planned a
duel to take place on the Mcclure
grounds on Ninth avenue south at
eight o'clock this evening. This is
the substance of the report made to
the police today and an officer will
be on hand to stop the fight if any is
attempted.
According to the story told the po-
lice two young lovers who are aspir-
ing for young girl have become jeal-
our of each other and have been hav-
ing trouble for some weeks. The girl
has been neutral to both and has
been accepting their attentions. Things
became somewhat interesting and the
loved one was given to understand
that she must take her choice. As
she liked both she made this prop
osition: The two were to engage in
fist fight and the winner could have
her.
The young boods agreed and the
fight is scheduled for tonight. 1t will
not take place, however, at least if
the police have anything to say about
it.

LIFE is SAVED BY CATS
FELINES SET UP A YOWL WHEN
FOUND BUILDING ON FIRE.
Proprietor of Blue Earth Restaurant
Was Awakened and Escaped
All Right.

Blue Earth, April 2l.-Undoubtedly
the James Wilson building on main
who operated restaurant therein, was
saved by the cries of trio offs cats
at about 4:30 Thursday morning. Their
cries awakened Mr. Dannison who was
sleeping in the second story, when he
discovered the building on fire and
his own room filled to almost suffoca
tion with smoke. Mr. Dannison has
tened to the city hall and the rang the
fire alarm bell and soon the fire
company was at work on the flames.
The fire undoubtedly originated in the
basement as the floor in the west por-
ton of the building was burned and
much of the furniture i'll that portion
went into the cellar. Mr.. Dannison car
rled fairly good sized stock of cigars
t0baccoes, etc., and these suffered much
from fire, smoke and water. Counters
show cases and other wood work was
badly damaged, in some cases total
loss. Mr.. Dannison carried $3.50 in
surance with Bulls < Frundt iii the
Consolidated Insurance company of Al
bert Lea, and Mr.. Wilson's loss is full
ly covered by policies in the German
American of New York placed with +
H. Davis.

Healthy Condition, and Farm
ers Prosperous Also.

Chicago. April 2l.-The report of the
International Harvester company for
1908 made public today, is strong evil
dence of the prosperity enjoyed by the
agricultural interests of the country
during year of general business de-
preston. As the report shows, the
sales of the Harvester company during
that period were reduced but a trifle
over per cent, compared with the
previous wear, the total sales in 1908
being $72,54l,77l, as compared with
SIS, 2O6, 800 in 1907.
Notwithstanding the reduction in the
volume of business, the net profits
show "a slight increase over last year,
the earnings in 1908 being $S,SS56S2,
as against $S,OS0,457 in 1907. This is a
little more than per cent on the to-
tai paid up capital. The earnings were
maintained largely through careful
economies in manufacture and distrl-
button, and by material lessening OF
interest charges, without any reduction
in the wages of the employees, i'll fact,

the ability and conservatism with
which tile company's affairs are man
aged After providing for the dividend

the year was $4,685,6S2.
During the year the company re-
duced it's current liabilities from 3d.,

experiments, patents, etc, to increase
the efficiency and durability of the i'm
plements manufactured.
The report indicates the very large
working capital required in the man

and similar appliances, and the liberal
terms of credit extended to farmers.

BILL DESIGNED TO PROTECT
EMPLOYERS FROM STEN'GRApHS

Madison, April l9@-Wisconsin en-
ployers will be protected against
the wiles Of their stenographers
according to a bill which was or
dered engrossed in the assembly
and which will be passed. The bill
is fathered by Assemblyman Led
vina, who is "a bachelor, but who
was absent when the bill came
up. His bachelor friends however,
took care TO see that the measure
proceeded without objection. The
bill provides that transactions be-
tween an employer and his steno-
grapher shall be OF the same sacred
nature as between devout church
man and his father confessor. This
is to prevent stenographers
bringing pressure to bear upon her
employer by threats to reveal his
private affairs if her wishes are not
granted.
