Want P. N. REMOVED
People Of Sauk Rapids May
Elect a Little

St. Cloud Times: Chester A.
Coborn, postmaster and general
merchant at Sauk Rapids, got into hot
water Monday evening when he
slapped his sister law, Mrs. Caro-.
line Slieizer, while the woman was
demonstrating with Coborn. A
warrant for the Iatter's arrest has
been sworn out in Justice M. Robbers
court and a hearing will be held
Wednesday afternoon at O'Clock.
It appears that Coborn has been
having trouble tor some time and
Monday evening when Mrs. Sleizer
came to call him to terms he lost his
temper and slapped her. This is the
story as told by Mrs. Sleizer.
1t appears also that the people of
Sauk Rapids want to see Coborn re-
moved from the postoffice and it was
rumored that his bondsmen had
written to Washington asking that
they be released from their obliRa-
tions. It is claimed that Coborn has
not been giving the postofice his
proper attention. It was stated today
that an inpector would arrive at Sauk
Rapids shortly who would investigate
the charges.
One of the bondsmen was seen todav
and he stated that Mr.. Coborn had
conferred with his suretles this morn.
ing and that be would leave the Office
in charge Of Miss Cora Grunewold. his
assistant. 1t IL not believed that there
is any shortage in the Office.
Sauk Rapids people are now talking
of having an election for postmaster a
la Little Falls, and letters to that
effect have already been written to
Congressman Lindbergh. Among the
candidates tor the place will be John
Burski, Meinulf Robbers, F. Il. Mans.

Jensen and Miss Cora Grunewold.

Paris, January 9.-(Special.)-C Hamon Cor Cheiro) as he is known in New York and Chicago, is in reality Jack Warner, and is of Irish Hebrew origin. He was born in Belfast and began life as a page-boy in hotel there. Later he went to London to be- come an actor and there met Oscar Wilde. Discovering that he knew something Of palmistry, Wilde induced Warner to accompany bfrsi to the Duchess of Sutherlands ll3use onF evening where he introduced him as "Cheiro," a name invented by Wilde, as a great palmist from India and in an inimitable way painted a picture of romanticism and mysticism that was absolutely gulped down by the entire party as truth.
 Wilde had arranged with Cheiro what he was to say when he (Wilde) passed his hand which was to be known by certain ring, through a curtain. Strangely enough, Wilde prophesied right when he told Warner to say:
 "In your right hand see a king, but in your left king in exile"

Louisville. January s-Persistent rumors have been current among prominent rail- road men of Louisville for several days to the effect that the Louisville and Nash vile is negotiating for the purchase of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail- road, which line will be offered for sale in Atlanta at some future date. Officials of the Louisville and Nashville have de- nied these reports ever since they start ed but advces from an entirely trust worthy source were obtained today that a man representing the Louisville and Nashville Is now en route to Atlanta with a commission to bid on the property.
 Milton H. Smith, the president of the Louisville and Nashville, stated yesterday that he has received no information that the Louisville and Nashville is interested in the proceedings in Atlanta surrounding the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic road. He said that no representative of his company as far as he knew would bid on the property for the Louisville and Nashville when it is offered up for sale.
 If the Louisville and Nashville has been considering such a deal I do not know it," said he. T do not believe there is a word of truth in the report

and Nashville and those in power realize that the absorption of this line would be a master move. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic operates a line from Atlanta to Brunswick, Ga, where connections can be made with the Brunswick Steamship company plying between Brunswick and Havana. If acquired by the Louisville and Nashville it would give that road not only an easy access to Cuba, but would open up way to reach New York, Boston and all other important eastern points.
 The identity of the Louisville and Nash villes representative who Is reported to be en route to Atlanta to close the deal for his company could not be learned, but it Is possible that he is prominently con nected with the Atlantic Coast Line, which corporation owns s35, ,o0O worth of the Louisville and Nashville's stock, controlling interest.
