INTERESTING Case NOW
BEFORE PROBATE JUDGE
Heir of jOhan jOhanson, Murdered bi
Peter MathIes0n, Securing Dead
Mans Property.

Through a petition filed a few
days ago in the probate court by the
Northwestern Trust company, admin
istrator, of St. Paul, for an order for
license to sell certain lands in
Roseau county at private sale, the
murder of Johann Johanson at Ten
strike two years ago is brought to
mind.
Peter Mathieson, who was later
convicted in the district court for
the murder and given a sentence by
Judge McClenah n Of death, which
was changed to life Imprisonment
by the state board Of pardons at the
, request of the tria! judge, drew $500
belonging to Johanson from the
Scandia-American National Bank of
Crookston, where the murdered man
had deposited his funds.
Henry Funkley of this city, county
attorney at the time of the trial Of
Mathieson, was appointed adminis-
traitor of Johanson's estate and insti-
tuted a suit against the Scandal
American National Bank to recover
the $500 secured by Mathieson. Mr..
Funkley later resigned from his
position as administrator and, at the
request Of Hon. Johannes Grunow,
the German consul at St. Paul, who
was acting for heirs in Germany
and Denmark, Judge of Probate
Clark of this city appointed the
Northwestern Trust company Of St.
Paul as administrator, this COM
pany continuing the suit which Mr..
Funkley had started.
The land in question is 100 acres
in Roseau county which Johanson
had mortgaged to Walter Anderson
for $500. After Johanson's death,
Mr.. Anderson bought in the property
at sheriff's sale for the face of the
mortage and costs, amounting in all
to S41O. Mr.. Grlnow, in the inter
ests of the foreign heirs, redeemed
the land later. The land is now val
ued at S1.4OO, and the Northwestern
Trust company has asked for license
to sell the property at private sale.
The hearing will be held before
Judge of Probate Clark in probate
court on May Sd.

Ringing tho Breakfast He'll.

An American family who had expe-
rienced the difficulty Of obtaining and
retaining the services Of a reliable
kitchen girl while on visit to Ireland
became acquainted with a promising
young girl and brought her back home
with them.
e In few weeks she was installed In
her new home and made acquainted
with her new duties. Among other
things she was told that it was GUS
tomary when breakfast was ready to
be served to ring the breakfast bell.
Her "all right num-" came in such a
confident tone that her mistress gave
the matter no further thought.
The following morning at 6 o'clock
the family We're rudely-a awakened by
the violent ringing of the front door
bell. Thinking that messenger must
be waiting with some unusual mes
sage, the gentleman Of the house did
not stop to dress, but hurried down in
hiH night robe and opened the door.
The new kitchen girl awaited him, her
face beaming with a beautiful smile

her rich Irish brogue, Breakfast Is

Diamond cuttinu.

It is said that before the fourteenth
century no one knew how to cut and
polish diamonds. They were esteemed
for their marvellous hardness, but not
greatly admired for beauty. There is
a tradition that journeyman jeweler
In Flanders, Louis Van Berghem, dis
covered the art Of cutting diamond
with diamond. But It Is probable that
he only made some notable advance in
the art since associations Of diamond
cutters had existed in France and
Flanders from the fourteenth century.
Louis Van Berghem's most famous
achievement was the cutting and pol
fishing Of huge diamond belonging to
Charles the Bold. Charles was so de-
lighted with the result that he reward
ed the artist literally and declared
that the diamond would now serve him
for bedroom lamp. This jewel,
which was found on Charles body aft
er the battle Of Nancy, is still in ex.
istence and celebrated under the name
of the Sancy diamond.-Yo uth's Com.

Sothern played Claude Melnotte, and
Virginia Harmed was cast as Pauline.
Beausant, the villain, was pursuing
Pauline, and she cried loudly for help.
Claude is supposed to dash to her res

stage, but slipped and slid, sitting
down near the footlights. Losing his
presence Of mind, he detained the
line: 'Look up, Pauline. There is nc
danger" As Virginia Harmed was
standing, this was, Of course, an i'm:
possibility. By this time the audience
was in an uproar, and when Arthur
Lawrence, who played Beausant, scorn.

Whittier's Applause.

In his declining years the poet Whit
tier was extremely absentminded. He
attended church meeting where there
were large number of persons. As
his presence was known, it was deemed
fitting by one Of the speakers to quote
the poets lines:
I know not where his islands lift
Their fronded palms In air;
only know cannot drift
Beyond his love and care.
Great applause greeted the quotation,
and Whittier was noticed to join in
the handclapping. II suppose l must
have had my mind on something else.

the verse;" he said alphabetically when

Continuing his testimony Colonel
Cooper said the first note of discord
between him and Senator Carmack
appeared In the Memphis News-Scina-
1tar In 1908. Later in that year the
witness said he supported Patterson
for governor and Carmack ceased
speaking to him.
Colonel Cooper was questioned
about the joint debate between Car
mack and Patterson and declared
Carmack at, first referred to him

later charged him with corruption.
Cooper said in response to questions
that he was private citizen at that
time and had said nor done nothing
to provoke the attacks.
Cooper said Carmack was defeated
aud that the attacks on him in Car
mAck's paper became more bitter and
continued uninterruptedly.
