SOME STATISTICS IN REGARD TO
LOCAL G.. A. r.

Editor Herald: I was looking
over the roster of Workman Post No.
81, G. A. R., it seemed to me it
might interest some OF your readers to
learn that we have 81 mem bers in
good standing anc ranging from go
years, the youngest, to IS years, the
Oldest. Their combined age is 4549
years; eighteen are past 20; ten are
past SO, most of the balance are IS
or past. Their combined service is
ITO months, an average of ~ months.
Service ranged from 6 months to SO
months. The Post has had. since its
organization in 1883, 1873 members. Of
this number 66 are known to have
passed over the dark river. This
leaves 81 unaccounted for, ana of this
number one half have passed the
great divide, as many of them, if
alive, are we'll past Is years of age.
Yours truly, in F. &. & l..

BOUCK AGAIN A CANDIDATE

BOUCK AGAIN A CANDIDATE.
Royalton Banner: AS mentioned in
a foregoing paragraph this paper has
been grossly mls-stated by a con-
temporary who credits us with
booming the candidacy of one of the
present representatives from the 48th
district.
We resent this for the reason among
others, that Little Falls cannot ex-
pect to send both representatives to
the Legislature next year and we do
not presume to name which of the
two present incumbents should be
honored by re election; 1t is for them
to make the choice. It will then be
ample time for us to come to the
standard of the man they want.
Little Falls now has the honor of
furnishing republican congressman
and with one representative they
should consent to the selection of
one from among the pioneers of
Southern Morrison county.
It ls generally understood that
Hon. I. W. Bouck of this village will
again be candidate for representa-
tive from Crow Wing and Morrison
county districts and many loyal
friends have urged him to come out,
basing their argument upon his long
and faithful service in the House in
the past years, where he was known
as one of the hard-working members
always present and always looking
after the interests of his constituents.
This. say many friends, with the
conditions shown by geographical
comparison. entities Mr.. Bouck to
recognition ard they will doubtless
force him into the race early.

SWlICnMfN'S STRIKE
On Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Ties Up
Freifht Traffic

Over 2, 300 switchmen working on
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern railroads between the twin cities
and the Pacific coast on the west and
to the head OF the lakes on the north
walked out at clock Tuesday night
on a strike, their demands for higher
wages not having been acceded to by
the railroad companies. =,
All freight traffic was tied up from
that time to late yesterday morning,
when a few trains were put in mo-
tlon. and the passenger traffic has also
been affected to some extent, they
running some time behind their
schedules. In the twin cities all the
large mills and some factories have
been closed because of lack of car
service, and IN smaller places along
the lines affected many OF the mills
Will have to close within the next day
or two If relief is not forthcoming.
No freight is being accepted at any
OF the stations and the railroad COM
panies are doing their utmost to
deliver the freight on hand.
At the local station, the switching
crew remained idle all day Wednes-
day and yesterday morning, as no
freight trains were moving. with the
exception Of train loaded with coal
for St. Cloud, which was hauled to
that place yesterday morning. Man
age1 E. j. Weber of the Hennepin
Paper mill took a crew of his men
and some horses and had couple
emptles hauled to the mill. This mill
will be able to hold out week, 1t IS
thought, but the Pine Tree Lumber
Companys planning mill closed down
Wednesday night and will not reopen
until cars can be handled. The Little
Falls Milling company has secured the
use of the old Ebert Bros. warehouse
and are storing -four IN that, but one
of the officers of the company stated
that the mill would be closed in a
day or two if relief was not at hand.
The Northwestern Milling company
is storing its product in both Its
own building and that of that ad-
joining it, but will also have to close
in two or three days if cars cannont
be had and shipments made.
The first west bound freight to
arrive at the local station since the
strike went into effect arrived here
few minutes before noon yesterday,
trains were coming in little better.
Two car loads of stock were taken out
of the cars Wednesday and are being
taken care Of at the local stockyards.
The local switching crew Kas
ordered to work yesterday afternoon,
but only the yard foreman responded
and very litt}e-woTksseusda actually be
done. Nevertheless Fl. q. Ruth, the
local depot agent, is doing everything
possible to supply cars to the local
mills. Luckily there we're a number
of empties on hand.
The local yards are congested with
freight trains, but shortly before 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon Conductor
James Brown left with an extra
freight for Bralnerd and Duluth.

WAR WITH NICARAGUA
Secretary Knox, for Taft,
Sends Passports to Zela-
ya's Representative

Washington, Dec. 1.-Secretary of
State Knox late today returned the
passports of Felipe Rodriguez, charge
d'affaires of the Nicaraguan legation
with letter scathingly denouncing
the Zelaya administration Of the
government of Nicaragua.
The letter is definitely declared to
represent the views of President 1 aft,
and IS about as plain spoken as any
thing emanating from the state depart
menr in many years.
The extraordinary feature of the
letter IS that 1t seems to evidence an
intention on the part OF the United
States to hold President Zeiaya
personally responsible for the alleged
torture and execution of the Americans,
Cannon and Groce and exhibits the
unique situation OF one government
holding the chief executive of another
practically as a common malefactor.
Zelaya IS branded as violator of
solemn international conventions, a
disturber- of the national and interna-
tional peace, a tyrant whose ad-
ministration has been blot upon
the name of good government.
Secretary Knox virtually announces
Luo I6COSulL1Ou VI Tie N1CdIdS udu
revolutionists, declares 1t to be the
conviction Of the United States that
the revolution represents the senti-
ments Of majority OF the Nicaraguan
people, and that there is evidently no
responsible government with which
the United States can deal. He there
tore announced that all parties will be
held accountable for their actions as
affecting the interests of Americans
and the peace Of Central America.
He further informs Sentor Rodriguez
that, while he lost his diplomatic
quality, he may still serve as an
unofficial" channel Of commuulca-
ton with the faction which he is
regarded as representing.
This brings the crisis as near to the
status of war as it could be brought by
executive action without a definite
declaration by both houses of congress-.
which will convene next Monday.
Mr.. Knox's letter in all but SO many
words makes it plain that the action
represents the wish and attitude OF all
of the Central American states with
the single exception of Honduras,
which IS regarded here as entirely
dominated by Zelaya. Mexico has all
along shown its sympathy with the
United States in this matter.

which has prevailed here during the

so this week.

fORGfRS AT WORK
One Under Arrest on the
Charge and Another Not
Yet Apprehended

\ Clarence Benson OF BuCkman was
arrested this week on the charge of
stealing a check made out in favor of
John Kastonek and altering it so as. to
make 1T payable to himself, thereby
committing a forgery. The deed was
committed the first part of last month.
A check for the sum Of $22 and. some
cents had been made out by E.
Schmolke in behalf of John SchmoIke
Of Buckman town in favor of John
Kastonek, and drawn on a Royalton
bank. It had been left with the
creamery man. together with checks
for other patrons OF the creamery, to
pay Kastonek. The creamery man put
these in his coat pocket and afterward
hung the coat up. When he went to
turn over the check to Kastonek 1t
was found to be missing. Payment
was stopped on this check at the
Royalton bank and another made out
instead, but the first check finally
found its way to the Royalton bank
through the regular business channels.
1t had been honored IN its altered con-
ldtion at the P. W. Blake store in
Pierz, where Mrs. Benson had pur-
chased some goods and had received
tho change in cash. It had then been
deposited at the German State Bank
of PIerz, and through the Minneapolis
exchange gone to the bank it was
drawn against.
Peter Knop1k, West side grocer,
had a couple of forged checks passed
on him the first of the week by a
stranger, whose description tallies
with that of young man, who was
guilty of like deed in the twin cities
some time ago. He was visiting here
at the time but had disappeared when
the forgeries were discovered at q
local bank Wednesday. On this day
Mr.. Knopic took these two checks
along with other checks and cash, to
One was for $l70O drawn on the
German American national bank
against the account of Abraham
Chernikovsky. a local fur and hide
dealer, and the other was for the sum
of $S5 drawn on the Merchants State
bank against the account of j. j.
Martin, and both we're countersigned
by the name of Frank Martin, which
the forger had assumed tor the
occasion.
The forger had orderd sack of
flour, soap and some groceries, in
payment Of which he presented the
checks above referred to. Mr.. Knoplk
gave him a receipt and SIS in change,
but found that this did not cover the
amount that was due the stranger.
Martin told Knopik. that be could pay
the amount still due to his wife
when she called for the groceries.
No one called for them.
