The Towns Suffer.

"Tn ere is anther reason FOR the lack
of enforcement in most of the coun-
ties of the state. The people of the rural
districts force prohibition on towns that
do not want 1t and then expect the Of
holals of that dissenting town TO en-
force the law without giving the neces-
sary support.
"And while the prohibition law is
state measure the state and county
oofficials too often leave the enforce
ment to the officers of the towns Ind
cities which have no prohibition laws
and cannot enact tn EN-. {
"Ther 1t is true that mucn of the
liquor violations come from the rural
districts. People from the country come
to town with wildcat whisky and Gre
ate disturbances. Thus Is impos ID upon
the cities and towns an evil for which
the town should not be held RESPONSE

upon to regulate the evil.
Dispensaries Are Best.
IT am honestly of the opinion that
djspensaries for the small to " ~ and
well regulated saloons for the larger

"Cuilman is a town OF a1out 2on0

loons, but l do not want to see sa-
looms reopened and run as the, were
formerly. I have seen wise dri strict

less disturbance and less evil than UNI

Five Members Of One Family in In.
sane Asylum.

st. Peter. - Three members OF q
single Lake Prairie family were tax.
en- before the probate court of Nicollet
county and committed to the st. Peter
state hospital for the insane by Judge
Henry Moll.: Their commitment has
revived interest in the Lake Prairie
wftchcraft case, one of the strangest
ever known in this section.
On March Is, 1907, Miss Ellen Pet
erson, of Lake Prairie township then
girl of 1S, was arrested on charge
of assault preferred by Mrs. Martha
s. Norlin, neighbor. When arraign-
ed in a justice court the girl answered
the preliminary questions intelligently
enough, but followed them with the
fiat assertion that Mrs. Norlin had be.
witched the entire Peterson household.
She told how the alleged evil influence
of the neighbor had caused cows to 20
dry, prevented cream from ripening,
brought about the death Of poultry and
precipitated various other calamities.
To punish Miss Peterson and mar
ried SISTER, Mrs. F. G. Lilliquist inter-
cepted Mrs. Norlin as she was passing
the Peterson dwelling and pounded
her numerically.
When the girl was being examined
in court her brother, Christian Larson,
sat at her side, and after she had
been sentenced to serve 16 days in
Jail, he made a protest and threatened
to kill Mrs. Norlin. A warrant was
issued for him and he was placed un-
der 5000 bonds to keep the peace. Be-
ing unable to furnish bonds he went
to Jail for six months.
Following his release there was no
recurrence of the trouble until Satur.
day. when Ellen Peterson and her
mother, Mrs. Christian Peterson, at
tackled Mrs. Norlin in front of their
home ard gave her another beating.
She promptly notified the county off,
cials, and Sheriff August Olson and
Deputies c. J. Norman and James N.Y.
ers went to the Peterson home and
placed them under arrest All resisted
stubbornly, and were only overcome
after hard struggle.
In the probate courtroom they de-
clined to answer questions, but sat
mute and stolid until committed. Lars
Peterson, husband of Mrs. Christian
Peterson, has been an inmate of the
state hospital for 33 years, and their
son-in-law, F. G. Lilliquist, was sent
there in 1902. This last triple COM
mitment, therefore, makes five :Eem.
bers OF the family receiving treatment
at the institution.

WHITE MAN SECOND VICTIM.
Blood Thirsty Mob Doesn't Draw the
Color Line.

Henry Salzner, a white man, and a
photographer by trade, who killed his
wife last July, with an ak, was taken
out of the county jail at 11:4O o'clock
by the mob and hanged to telegraph
pole and his body riddled with bullets.
The mob gave Salzner chance to
confess after the rope was around his
neck, but he was so frightened that
he could only murmur that his sisters
did the killing.
The mob grew restless after this
and 1t was hard work to keep them
off of Salzner long enough to give him
chance to pray. The mob finally
subsided and short religious service
for the benefit of Salzner's soul was
held, after which he was strung up,
the rope being placed over tele-
graph pole at Twenty-frst and Wash
ington streets.
Salzner was photographer and had
been married about two years. 1t was
known that he had had trouble with
his wife and it is said give her no
money for food for herself and two
small babies.

One night, last July, Salzner's wits
was found at her home with her skull
fractured and bloody ak was found
under the bed. The two babies were
playing in the blood.
All evidence pointed to Salzner as
the slayer of his wife and after the
crime was discovered Mrs. salzner re-
covered enough to accuse her husband
Of the crime. The public was in.
censed against him and while a part
