PRAIRIE FIRE
BURNS HAY.
Great Damage Done by Big Fire
South Of Willmar Last
Wednesday.

The most destructive prairie fire
which has visited this county for
many years swept over several Sec
tion southwest of the city last
Wednesday afternoon. It started
on the VIM. Johnson farm one mile
east of Priam. Mr.. johnson was
burning some straw in the yard,
and the fire got away from him.
In less time than it takes to tell
the tale the fire, famed by a strong
wind, swept to the southeast, burn
ing stack after stack of hay, and
also consuming a shed and Earn north
of the Mattson farm in section 3,
Whitefield. 1t is estimated that
between 1000 and $500 tons of hay
burned. and the total loss will prob
ably reach $15.O 900. All the farmers
in the neighborhood turned out.
and they were assisted by a number
of men from here, but they could
do nothing but watch the spectacle.
The fire stopped when it reached
the end of the hay land, in section
8. Whitefeld. The Johnsons are
nearly frantic over the occurrence.
The shock made Mrs. johnson vio-
lently i'll, and she is yet in pre-
carious condition.

A Musical Treat.

The piano recital given last Fri
day evening by Prof. Gustavus
johnson was indeed a rare musical
treat. The pianist was in his hap
|piest mood. the audience was en-
rapport, and the program was
ideal. From the opening strains of
"Ave Maria" to the last measure
of LA Campanella" Mr.. johnson
had the audience spell bound, and
no one realized that he had played
IA numbers in an hour and half.
Mr.. Johnson scorned the use of the
printed score, playing the entire
program without the aid of manu-
script, and this added a great deal
of enjoyment to the program. The
talks on the emotional and the pic
turesque in music were alone worth
coming to hear. Mr.. johnson COM
blnes the finish of the artist with a
true teachers faculty for elucidat-
ing, and his program will be long
remembered. 1t is to be hoped
that Willmar music lovers will soon
have another opportunity to hear
this accomplished musician. That
they will turn out to hear him
next time goes without saying.

SHERIFF GETS
SNEAK THIEF.
Had Taken Chairs From Front
Porch Of The County At(or-
ney's Residence.

Floyd Kaufman, who for some
time has lived with another family
on the Handy farm west of the city,
pleaded guilty to a charge Of petit
larceny last Monday in Municipal
court, and he was given his choice
Of $25 and costs or IS days. He
chose the latter.
Kaufman has been watched by
the police for some time, as he has
been mixed up in a number of
small thefts. Some time ago the
tools of o. B. Glarum, for whom
he worked for a time. disappeared,
and they were later found in boxes
which Kaufman had ready to be
shipped. Then he called at the re-
sidence of County Attorney Otter
ness and took home with him
table which was standing on
the porch, and needing chairs to
complete the outfit he helped him
self to two chairs belonging to Al
bert Larson. Having thus stocked
up on the necessary furniture he
went to work and secured groceries
and merchandise from various
stores by issuing orders on people
who owed him nothing. About
two weeks ago he commenced to
think that probably he might be
found out, whereupon he arranged
to have all he ever owned taken to
Glenwood by his wife. This was
done, but in the mean time Sheriff
Bonde got on his tracks, and after
long and somewhat tedious hunt the
sheriff caught his game last Sunday
near Rockville where he, Kaufman,
was himself hunting. He made no
denial of any thing, and came along
without struggle. He had no ex-
plantations to offer except that he
wanted Glarum's tools in order to
get even with him for not receiv-
insg 81 which he thought was due
him. An interesting feature re-
garding the theft of Bitterness
table came out in the fact that just
previous TO committing the theft
he had called on Mr.. Bitterness and
received some legal advice free.
All the stolen goods have been re-
turned. with the exception of $35
bicycle belonging to Nels Bredeson.
Kaufman owns up to having stolen
it on Sept. 16. He said he hid it
in the grass somewhere west Of
town, but so far it has not been
found.
