CLOSED DOORS; LEFT TOWN.
Restaurant Proprietors at Fairmont
Leave for Unknown Parts.

Fairmont, Nov. l3.-The patrons of
the "Aldrich Cafe" restaurant on
North avenue were surprised Wednes
day morning to find the doors locked
and the place closed A little inquiry
developed the fact that the proprietor
j. w. Aldrich and his wife had taken
their departure on the morning train.
On the previous evening the proprietor
got a drayman to take the trunks
containing their personal effects to the
Milwaukee depot. He informed the
drayman that he and his wife did not
agree and she was going back to her
folks. On the following morning how
ever both left.
Their departure from the city is sim
cerely regretted by number of local
merchants, whom they had favored
with their patronage but with whom
they forgot to make settlement be-
fore leaving A number of wholesale
houses have also sent bills to local
attorneys for collection against the
proprietor of the restaurant. A cou-
pie days before leaving, the proprietor
secured loan from one of the local
banks for $4,000 giving a chattel mort
gage on the fixtures and stock. The
parties have conducted a restaurant
here for about year, and came here
from South Dakota.

Mr.. Breese yesterday had an i'm

Mr.. Breese sought long distance tele-

woman, 81 may find him for you"
She used her ingenuity apd, with

short time. Mr.. Breese returned the
favor by inviting every operator in
the exchange to the performance.

MUST ASSIST THE ATHLETES
Tagging Football Players Are to Be
Coached in Their Studies.

Minneapolis, Nov 13.-University
students unanimously accepted the
recommendations of the committee of
coaches and E. B. Pierce, university
registrar, at their mass meeting late
yesterday providing for an organiza-
ton aiding athletes in meeting eligi
bility rules and keeping them up to
the standard through the college year.
Howard Williams, president of the
Rooters' club, read the message of the
coaches recommending that a commit
tee, with representatives from each
college, with the president of the ath-
letic board of control as chairman, be
chosen to take an active interest in
the scholarship of every candidate for
athletic activity.
E. d. Coughlin, president of the
board of control, announced today that
he will call a meeting of the presi-
dents of the senior classes of every
college in the university next We'd
nesday for the purpose of appoint
ing the committees and arranging for
cooperation with the deans of the
different departments.
Enthusiasm ran high at the meeting
yesterday. Johnny McGovern, the in
jured football captain, appeared on the
platform amid the plaudits of the stu
dents. The student support will count
for much in the result of the game
with Wisconsin, he said.

POLLUTED WATER SUPPLY
What Careful Test BY the Govern.
ment Expert Shows.

Washington, Nov. l3.-The depart
ment of agriculture recently made an
examination in Minnesota of seventy
nine sources of farm water supply in
connection with the state board of
health, and concludes that 35 per cent
of the supplies are bad. In bulletin
on the subject, the department says
that the chances of pollution of wa
ter supply increase as the surround
ing areas become more and more
thickly settled. The cities are en-
deavoring to solve the problem of Sc
curing pure water supplies from the
standpoint of congested population.
1t is apparent, however, that both
farm and city are suffering from
careless rural sanitation.
Having summed up the situation in
this way, the department says as to
the investigation in Minnesota:
'The investigation included all
sources of farm water supply, COM
prising dug wells, bored wells, drilled
wells, driven wells, springs, rivers, sur
face reservoirs and cisterns.
Samples of water We're collected
and chemical and physical analysis
made. Also data as to the location
and surroundings of the sources of
water supply of the various farms
were secured. While more attention
was given to the study of bad condi-
tions, yet an effort was made to in
clude all the typical conditions.
Seventy water supplies were
studied Of these, twenty were good
and, usually because of careless or
ignorant management, fifty-nine were
polluted. Generally speaking, how
ever, the proportion of bad supplies
is about 80 per cent of the total.
Twenty three of the farms examined
showed record of typhoid fever.
Eleven of the wells examined could
not be made safe from pollution even
with extreme care, owing to their To-
cation. The other wells could be
made safe. The rivers, surface res
ervoirs, and cisterns are polluted, and
it is doubtful if satisfactory water
for farm use can be obtained from
such sources"

cuts HEART IN BITS
MOB DISTRIBUTES THE PIECES
TO CROWD AS SOUVENIRS.
Not An Undertaken Would Take
Charge of What Remained of the
Dead Negroes Body, So the City
Wagon Carted It Off to the City
Dumping Ground; No Race Riot
Is Feared

Cairo, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-There is little
fear among the Cairo negroes that
there will be wide spread race riot
such as occurred at the state capitol
in 1908. The fact that the mob
wreaked summary vengeance on a
white man as well as upon the negro
James is taken as proof that law
abiding negroes have nothing to fear.
The mob of Thursday night sought
merely to avenge crimes against
women in the community. Henry Salz-
ner, the white victim of Cairo's lynch
court, killed his wife with an ak.
When discovered by neighbors, the
woman was breathing her last and her
two babies were fondling her bloody
head and crying for her to speak to
them. To those who found her she
gasped as she died "He did it."
Salzner's body was claimed by his
father. Some difficulty was experienced
in rescuing the corpse from the mob,
some of the lynchers asserting that
James. Alderman Burke, who is an
undertaken, finally prevailed upon the
crowd to allow MIN to take charge of
the body.
Of James body nothing remained.
The multilated corpse was dragged
from the scene of the lynching to the
alley, where the body of Miss Policy
was found. Then it was decapitated
and the head placed on a pole. The
torso was cut into and the heart taken
out and divided into small bits and
passed among the crowd for souvenirs.
The rope was soaked in the wretch's
blood and also divided among the
| lynchers. What was left was burned.
| The CHASTITY head remained on
the pole until long after daylight.
on the pole until long after daylight.
Not an undertaken in the city would
take charge of it and finally the
city's "dead wagon was sent to the
place. 1t is supposed that the head
was buried on the city dump.
Crowd Morbidly Curious.
Before the head was disposed of
thousands of morbidly curious people
swarmed about the neighborhood. A
goodly portion of this crowd was COM
posed of women and children, both
white and colored. Youngsters who
were too small to see easily were
raised above the heads of the crowd
often by their parents. the crowd was
so dense that the dead wagon had diff
ficulty in forcing it's way through.

the Brooklyn bridge, where most of
the city offices may be installed and
the city saved vast sum in rents,
has woefully Jagged. For almost two
years the public has been made to
suffer because of the dilatory manenr
in which this great improvement has
been managed.
For this reason an enormous amount
of work must still be done if the lay
ing of the corner stone by Mayor Nc
Clellan will not appear ludicrously
premature. The extra expense of rush
ing the job so that he may spread the
official mortar will in itself amount to
considerable figure. Furthermore, as
the mayor also is said to desire an
imposing ceremony, the cost of this
eleventh hour spectacle is likely to
reach total of $4,000.

LEFT UNCLE SANS TEPEE.
Indian Boys Round Up at Fairmont
Belong at Pipestone.

Fairmont, Nov. l3.-Thursday even
ing two Indian boys who gave their
ages as eighteen years each, walked
into the Milwaukee depot and asked
the railway men if anybody wanted
them. They finally confessed that they
were tired and hungry, had no money
and wanted place to stay.
They were directed to Officer Eben
who gave them supper and breakfast
and lodging at police headquarters.
They appeared like good and inof-
fensive boys and to the police officers
they told their story.
Their people live in the forest near
Bayfield,, Wis. They were taken by
government agents and sent to the In
dian school at Flandreau. They ad
mitted that they were well treated and
that they liked the school and teach
ers, but could not well explain to a
whiteman why they went away.
1t seems, however, that they were
given Monday afternoon to enjoy as
they pleased. The two went for a
walk and were overpowered by the
call of the wild. 1t was beautiful In
dian summer weather and in their i'm
agination they saw the purple haze
hanging as royal curtain of the sky
above the treetops and over the dis
tant hills; they saw the bright sun
shine shimmering across the great lake
and heard the restless waters surging
and ripping among the rocks on Su-
perior's southern shores; they heard
the faint whisperings of generations
of ancestors calling them and seemed
to see father and mother, sisters and
brothers reckoning to them as they
stood beside the tepee-their childhood
home; there was the smell of burning
wood, of smoke and balsam in the all
the poor Indian boys were homesici
and their steps involuntarily turned to
the east.
| Not being white the thought OF
stealing ride did not occur to them
and they walked all the way to Fair
mont along the Milwaukee track.

was communicated with and said i
the boys would voluntarily return hi
would buy them tickets. This they
appeared to be glad to do and they go

did not know why they went away
from the school, but those acquainted

Six indictments were the result of its
labors. 1t came in shortly before
noon with three indictments, and
again retired. 1t returned at two
o'clock this afternoon with three more
indictments, and reported that it was

Would Give Out No Information.
The court officials would give out
no information in regard to who the
indicted persons are, but it would not
seem to be taking much of chance
Grace Ledbeter, Frank Smith and Mr..
and Mrs. William Schwandt. One or
two other persons may also have been
indicted. a travelling man who was
last summer arrested and held to the
grand jury on the charge of adultery
may have been indicted. 1t is under
stood that his case was under consid-
Grafton this forenoon. Yesterday after
noon, the directors of the old mailing
company were before the jury as wit
nesses, and there were rumors that
the matter under consideration had to
do with some occurrences under the
management of former official of
the company.
Arrangements on Monday.
County Attorney Plymat expects to
have some arraignments Monday after
noon. and at that time just what
charges have been preferred will be-
come known.
Judge Pau expects to conduct the trial
of any parties indicted for the murder of
II. j. Ledbeter He felt delicate about
lieves that there is no reason why he
should not preside. He rather expects
that the cases will go to trial about
Dee. /. He had at one time thought
that it would be best to have the
trials postponed until after the other
Jury cases have been disposed of, but
in view of the large number of jury
cases, this plan has had to be aban-
