Wanted to witness Hanging

Down in Pennsylvania last week 8
Russian was hanged for shooting 9
woman with whom he had run away
ten years ago. The deserted wife went
to the Jail to bid him good bye and to
introduce another man whom she expects
to marry. The fellow was so well pleas
ed that he willed her $1,000 he had saved
and to show her gratitude she requested
the sheriff for admission to see him
hanged but this was not granted. We
know some American women, who, we
think would quietly enjoy seeing Their
husbands hanged but they might not
request the pleasure.

The Roller Rink

Of all the places of amusement in our
city at the present time the Roller Rink
is by far the busiest of them all. From
seven until ten p. m. it is one solid mass
of rolling, serging humanity and surely
is true to it's name, The Place to Drive
Care Away" Since it has been in Oper-
alton here it has had record crowds each
night, spectators as well as skaters have
a jolly time and the exercise gained from
the skates is very wholesome to all If
YOU have not attended the Rink YOU
don't know what you have missed and
the many good laughs you have lost.

good order is one of the main features

Brutal Attack Charged,

Mrs. D. B. Searle, wife of former
District Judge Searle, lies at her
home in St. Cloud with broken arm
and other painful injuries, and Henry
Peterson, nurse who has been in
attendance upon Judge Searle, is
suffering from painful wounds as the
result of an assault alleged to have
been committed upon them by J. W..
Thompson, lessee of the SSear]e farm
at Pleasant lake. The trouble arose,
it is said, over matters pertaining to
the farm. Peterson was beaten into
insensibility, his head being battered
up and he has cut on the back of his
head.
Thompson was arraigned before
Justice Donohue upon the charge of
assault and pleaded not guilty. In
consequence of the physical disa-
bility of the complaining witnesses
the hearing was postponed to August
and Thompson's bond for appearance
was fixed at $500. He was also bond
ed in $500 to keep the peace for thirty
days.

aim seemed to be to make friends with
the world at large. It was pleasure
at least to us-to meet and shake
hands with this glossy-coated little
cocker spaniel, whose deep appreci-
alton of friendly recognition was al
ways manifested by a wiggling of his
abbreviated caudal appendage. Jack
was the property of Mrs. Charles
Keith and the pet of the household.
So attached had Mrs. Keith become to
him that at his death her heart was
filled with sorrow-she had lost a
faithful friend and companion, even
though he were but dog. And even
Mr.. Keith, when he discovered Jack
cold in death, could not suppress
tear.
We often hear the expression, "Kick
him, he's only dog" but for faith
fulness and ''true nobility of char
acter"-if the phrase is permissible
give us the dog in preference to many
man. The dog is no traitor, back
bitter or sneaking hypocrite he's true
to his friends through thick and
thin.

Harvest Prospects Continue Good.

Rye is about all cut and stacked.
and the oat crop is being harvested
this week. All small grain has ripened
fast during the past week. There will
be considerable loss on account of
"lodged" oats in many fields where
the soil is heavy and the growth has
been rank. But on the whole the
oat crop is promising. Wheat is
also ripening fast, the heads are we'll
filled with plump kernels. Several
farmers are banking on yield of 20
bushels to the acre. Corn is making
fine progress. Potatoes continue to
do we'll and up to the present have not
suffered for lack of moisture. In
some quarters there is complaint of a
light hay crop, especially of wild hay.
There is every indication that good.
average crops will be garnered, and
if fair prices prevail farmers will
have no cause to complain.

An UNDERGRADUATES Steal Rai,

After extensive experiments, the
Bethlehem Steel Co. has produced a
nickel-chrome rail, which will sell for
S5l.00 ton, and which is claimed to
be practically unbreakable. A new
mill will be erected at Gary, Ind, for
its manufacture, severe tests instituted
by 3. Fl. Hartman proving the new
material perfect. The railroads have
been severely criticised because of the
frequent wrecks brought about by
broken rails. Broken down, fatigued
bodies have often been given vigor
and strength by the use of golden
grain belt beer. It's perfect brew has
made it 'frst choice" in most homes.

Market Opens at Anoka and Elx River.

Early potatoes are being marketed
at Anoka and Elk River. Prices
range from 40 to SO cents per bushel.
Buyers predict that prices will be
lower. Prices are bound to 90 down
if the sellers glut the market, with
unripe potatoes in hot weather. At
this season of the year new potatoes,
especially if they are not fully ripen-
ed, are highly perishable. The potato
market in Princeton will not open
for six weeks yet, as our farmers do
not raise early potatoes to any great
extent save for their own use and to
supply the local market. In the vi
entity of Princeton there is every
prospect of an abundant crop and if
fair prices are obtained most of the
farmers will be able to own automo-
biles next year. Here's hoping that
prices will average not less than so
cents per bushel throughout the
season.

regiment was AGO points, Second
regiment 1892 points aud Third regi-

Second and by PA points over the
First.
The Third regiment team is COM
posed of old and experienced marks

longer ranges, and they easily dis
tanced their less experienced rivals.
The First regiment team was behind
from the start.
Seven men from each regiment and
three at large, were selected to shoot
for places on the official state team,

it is not necessarily the one which will
represent the state at the national
competition at Camp Perry. A long
course of practice will be pursued by
about eighteen men and the national

eligible.

gas in St. Paul. The explosion &C.
Cured in store building at 81 ".
Third street and was of terrific force,
shaking the business section of the city
and wrecking the store and adjoining
buildings, which were filled with
people. The explosion was due to the
inventive zeal of Arnold Kuhlo, a we'll
known resident of St. Paul. His own
life paid the penalty of his enthusiasm.
1t is one of the features of the catas-
trophe that more persons were not
killed.
The building was full of people,
there were number in the street and
the force of the explosion carried
missiles more than $50 feet. It shook
everything in the vicinity and the

Last of Crushed Rock Received.

The last of the 25 cars of crushed
granite for the Baldwin road was un-
loaded at the track yesterday. I'm
mediately after the small grain is
harvested the road should be graded
and made ready for the rock. It has
been intimated that it will be a hard
matter to induce the farmers to haul
the rock. We think not. Surely when
material that will put bad piece of
road in excellent condition at all
seasons of the year is delivered at the
railroad track here free of charge the
farmers who are interested will see
that it is spread upon the road,
especially when the haul is less than
a mile. It cost almost 500 to have
the rock unloaded and one resident
of Princeton advanced that amount
and will take his chances of being
reimbursed by his public-s pirited
fellow-citizens. No other locality
has received such large consignment
of rock as Baldwin and it is to be
hoped that the farmers of that town
and other adjoining towns will ap-
preciate the efforts that have been
put forth in their behalf.
twenty-five cars of rock will not
cover all the bad stretch of road
across the Baldwin fats. if the people
interested will manifest the right dis
position we will guarantee that
enough additional rock will be re-
ceived from the highway commits
sion next spring to complete the lob.

VS.. MATTSON
Judge NJ D. Taylor Hands Down De.
clslon in Favor of Defendants
in Complicated Lawsuit.
Chas. Keith, e. l.. Mcmillan and j. G.
King Represent the Defend
ants in the Action.

Judge Taylor has handed down his
decision in the case of Oloff laden
and wife against J.. c. King, as ad-
ministrator of the estate of Samuel
Mattson, deceased, and heirs of said
Samuel Mattson. A synopsis of the
case and decision is hereunder given:
Samuel Mattson, well-known mer-
chant of Lawrence, died in October.
1907. Plaintiff brought action on
August, 1908, alleging, among other
things, that Madison had been in
partnership with Laden for number
OF years in the operation of saw
mill; that the Ladeens had executed a
deed to Mattson of so acres of land on
which the mill stood, which though in
form deed was in fact a mortgage.
1t was further claimed by laden that
Mattson was indebted to him in the
sum of several thousand dollars.
The relief prayed was that an ac-
counting be had between the parties,
that the administrator be compelled
to deed the land back to Laden, and
that he have judgment against the es-
tate for the balance claimed to be due
him.
ON behalf of the estate it was con-
ceded that the deed was executed as
security and was in effect mortgage.
1t was denied that there ever was any
partnership between Mattson and
laden and claimed that laden was
indebted to the .Mattson estate for a
balance Of about So, 500 on an account
for moneys and supplies furnished
Laden by Mattson during period
OF several years before Mattson's
death.
The case was tried before Judge
Taylor at Princeton in November.
1905, and thereafter submitted on
briefs of the respective parties. AS
the matter involved the thorough
examination and analysis of a long
series@of complicated accounts a large
amount OF time was necessarily con-
sumed in the preparation of the briefs
and their consideration by the court,
and the decision has just been filed.
The court decided against the claims
OF partnership and Indebtedness to
laden from Mattson, and found that
laden was indebted to Madison in
something over $1,000, and that the
Mattson estate was entitled to hold
the land as security for such indebted
ness. The order for judgment further
provides that if such indebtedness is
paid within year the land shall be
decided back to Laden, otherwise the
land shall belong to and be part of
the assets CT the estate.
Stewart & Brewer of St. Cloud an
peared for laden and Chas. Keith
and E. L. Mcmillan of Princeton, and
J. c. King of Mora, represented the
Mattson estate.
