Benson Attorney Suspended.

John I. Davis, an attorney at
Benson and formerly county attor-
ney of Swift county, was suspended
from practice for six months by a
decision Of the supreme court last
Friday. Davis retained moneys
collected for clients under circum-
stances which the supreme court
decided were not justifable.
Davis will be remembered as the
attorney who tried the Monkey
Farm cases so successfully-from
the point of view of the proprietors
of the Farm" He proved so con-
clusively that he was not interested
in the enforcement of the liquor
laws that the people finally let him
out and elected another man.
Judging from the fact that the
grand jury at it's sitting last week
failed to find any indictments
against violators of the liquor laws,
in spite of a good deal of evidence,
his successor, E. L. Thornton, is
not going to be great improve
ment in the prosecution line.

Gasoline Starts Blaze.

For the second time in two weeks,
the fire department was called out
Friday, only to find the blaze out.
This time the yard back of the Mo-
del Pantorium and the Lyder Breg
confectionery was the scene of the
excitement. Lyder Berg had been
burning some empty paper boxes
and they were smouldering when
Emil Rannestad, who works for the
Pantorium, poured out some old
gasoline. He thought he poured it
out far enough away from the
smouldering boxes, but in less time
than it takes to tell the tale few
sparks connected with the oil and a
hot blaze resulted. Fearing that
he would be unable to get the blaze
under control, Carl Rustad, the
Pantorium tailor, called the depart
ment, but when the apparatus ar
rived the flames were entirely ex-
tinguished. The only damage was
to a suit which had been dry
cleaned and had been hung up for
an airing. The only thing that
was left of it was a small piece of
the collar band, and there WASH t
enough of that intact for anyone to
be able to judge the dimensions of
the owner.

News was received here this
morning Of the appointment Of
Charles w. Odell, cashier Of the
First National Bank, as supervisor
Of the census Of the Seventh con-
gressional district Of Minnesota.
The appointment was recommended
by Congressman Volstead and came

a salary of $500, together with a
certain amount per 1000 counted.
He has complete charge of the GEN.

there will be one for each election
precinct, making a total Of 81 for
this county. AS there are ID coun-
ties in this district and some of
them have more precincts than
Kandiyohi, there will be good
many enumerators at work. At
the census taken in 1900 the popula-
tion of the district was 1874 .357, and
1t is confidently expected that the

james J. Hill Goes Thru.

James J. Hill, the railway wizard
Of the Northwest, formerly presi-
dent but now chairman of the board
of directors of the Great Northern,
passed thru Willmar Friday even
ing in his special train, on his way
to Seattle, WASH, where yesterday
he made the opening address at the
Alaska -Yukon-P Pacific exposition.
The special stopped here about ten
minutes, and Mr.. Hill exchanged a
few words with a number of the
three hundred or more people that
had gathered at the station to see
him. among them being County
Surveyor Day and D. N. Tallman.
In his talk with the latter he
proved that agricultural interests
are still uppermost in his mind.
He inquired about what kind of
farming was INDUCED in, whether
stock raising was given due consi.
! deration, and whether the farmers
Willmar tribune., 1909-06-02

took the interest they ought to in
public improvements. He didn't
seem to be favorably impressed
with the farmers in this part of the
northwest generally. ''They don't
seem to be able to realize the bene-
fits that will eventually come to
their lands from improved condi-
tions and high grade stock. They
seem to have made up their minds
to get along as cheaply as possible,
forgetting that there is such a
thing as a wise expenditure of
an expenditure that will
mean improvement to their farms
and dollars in their pockets.
With Mr.. Hill were J. ]. Carroll,
general counsel of the Burlington
road; B. Deane, a director of the
Great Northern; E. C. Cook, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Trust COM
pany, and w. H. Dunwoodie, pre-
