NOT THE RIGHT PARTIES.

Sheriff Miles and Chief of Police
Gullick arrested couple Of fellows
last Thursday morning on suspicion
that they were the men wanted for the
murder of Policeman Hawley at HUI
ron. The men were seen around the de-
pot and as they answered the descrip-
tion fairly well. word was passed to
the local officers, but by that time the
fellows were leaving town by the rail-
road tracks. They were overtaken by
the sheriff and chief of police at the
snow cuts east of the city and were
brought back to town and held until
deputy sheriff came down from HUI
ron that night. He stated that they
were not the men wanted, although
one of them answered every descrip-
tion, and they were allowed to 90 on
their way.
The murder of Policeman Hawley
was one of the most cold blooded
crimes in the history Of the state.
The affair happened on Tuesday night
of last week at about eleven o'clock.
The officer was walking down the
street in a disreputable part of HUI
ron when he noticed two men fight
ing. He ran up and pulled them apart
and as he did so one of the men in
the crowd watching the melee walked
up and deliberately shot him through
the head. In the excitement which
followed, the murderer, accompanied
by his pal, made his escape. The
fire whistle was blown at once and
within very short time there were
three or four hundred citizens, well
armed, out looking for them, but in the
darkness they made good their escape.
Policeman Hawley fingered until
Thursday when he passed away.
The authorities at Huron Immediate
ly offered a reward Of $1,000 for the
capture of the murderer and word was
sent to every part of the state. His
description is given as follows: About
five feet, eleven inches tall, twenty
eight or thirty years old, dark stubby
mustache, dark complexion and dark
hair, dark clothes, and has habit of
wearing his hat on back Of his head.
His pal is man about five feet, seven
inches tall, sandy mustache and weigh
ing about ITO pounds.

FAIR =.
IS NEXT WEEK
ANNUAL EXPOSITION TO START
ON MONDAY.
THE FOUR DAYS PROGRAM
WILL MAKE UP THE BEST FAIR
EVER HELD IN THE COUNTY.

Brookings county's great annual fair
opens up next Monday morning and
continues for four days. This years
fair promises to be the best in the
history of the association and that
means a great deal. Everything Is
practically In readiness for the open,
Ing day and the only feature in doubt
is the weather. II the association Is
blessed with good weather the success
of the fair is assured, as the people Of
the county have demonstrated in past
years that they will support the fair
by bringing in the products of their
farms, gardens and households, as we'll
as attending themselves.
The association has been fortunate
in securing good, clean line of en-
tertainment for next week. There will
be ball games, horse races and other
things in the amusement line and the
people who attend can be certain that
them every minute of the time.
On Monday, Children's Day, which
by the way promises to be- one OF the
best of the week, there will be a ball
game between the Brookings and De
Smet junior teams for the champion
ship of the state. These two teams
have defeated every other team of
any strength in the eastern part of
the state and the battle Monday will
be worth going a long ways to see.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the Brook
ings juniors will meet the fast Whter.
town team, assuring good ball games
for three days of the fair.
Good music will be provided for
every day. The Brookings band, as
sisted by other county bands will en-
tertain the crowds of visitors.
The entries for the horse races did
unable to give list of the horses en-
tered, but enough names were already
in to assure good, fast sport. The
purses are attractive and will undoubt-
edly bring a good share of the horses
that are at the state fair this week.
In last weeks issue we gave COM
plete account Of the different free
attractions that will be here, the whole
making program that could hardly
be excelled.
The managers Of the different depart
ments all report that the outlook Is
very favorable for a fine exhibit Of
stock, farm produce and household
articles, and we unhesitatingly pre-
dict the most successful fair in the
history of the county and one that
every Brookings county citizen should
attend.

INvENTS VALUABLE TOOL.

Roy Anderson of Watertown, form.
er resident of Brookings, and son Of
Mr.. and Mrs George Anderson, has
invented and patented a valuable tool
according to the Watertown Saturday
News. The News says:
"Roy Anderson, one of the black.
smiths employed in B. p. Noes shop
has invented and patented a pipe
wrench which for simplicity and dura-
blity is far ahead of anything ever
invented. The new invention has been
tried by practical plumbers, steam
and gas filters and all those who
have tried it are loud in their praises
for the new pipe wrench.
"Mr. Anderson has had several fat
tering offers from large manufacturers
of tools for his patent, but so far has
refused
'If a local company could be form
ed with ample capital to manufacture
and advertise this tool in the various
trade journals and place them on the
market, there is no question but the
new pipe wrench would soon find its
way into every shop in the land where
pipe wrenches are used.
Here is a chance for some OF
Watertown's capitalists to get busy
and form company and manufacture
this tool and receive big dividends on
the money invested"

A SUMMER IDyL.
Mobley Correspondent Dreams OF
Summer In All It's Reality.

\ Summer days are here again,
The oaks whisper and the little
cedars sing their old, old song.
The evenings last sigh shuts
the rose and "the rosy red flushes
the northern night" A thousand
fields flash with dew and ten
thousand cotton blossoms point
their white and crimson bugles
upward to the silver crescent
which dances on the brow OF eve-
ming. The little peach tree, our
trysting place with the goddess
of dreams, shed its blooms on
81 carpet of green and the velvet
petals drifted away on the first
tide of spring, but the katydids
and the cricket5 are still the mus
icians of midsummer nights, The
stars, "never resting, never hast
ing," come out and twinkle at US
and We lay on the cot and hold
the hand Of the phantom goddess
and hear the voices Of a thousand
unreachablo sirens. A half mile
below US old Reeds Creek glides
along, purIing over n rocky bed
to "join the brimning river"
In the hush of night we can
hear it's music, like the murmur
we seem to hear in a shell from
the distaut sea. While the cam
taloupe laughs in the gardens and
the watermelon smiles on the vine,
we eat and laugh and dream and
wish that summer days would
last forever. But the golden
hours ripple away and soon we
are rocked in the opal cradle of
autumn. We wish Tom Campbell
could leave that empire Of babies
the Stork's roosting place
and come down to our den of
dreams in Wild Cat Corner. Wed
renew his youth at the fountain
where dreamers drink and take
him to the Big Spring where fish
come out on dry land to get
caught. Right here is where
we hit the ground. Ma says the
stovewood's out.

FARMERS MEETINGS ARE
BEING LARGELY ATTENDED
Farmers in Western Beltrami County and Eastern Clear
water County Show Great Interest in McLeran
Speeches. Clubs Being Organized.

The farmers institutes which are
being held at various points through.
out Beltraml. and Clearwater coun.
ties, under the direction of the State
Farmers Institute of the State Agri.
cultural college, and which are pre-.
sided over by F. B. McLeran, pro.
prietor of the Maple Wood Farm at
Wrenshall, Mimi, are proving to be
very successful, and are the means
of great awakening among the
farmers as to the best methods to
pursue in order to better their condi-
tions.
Mr.. McLeran is accompanied in
his trips throughout this country by
w. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the
Beltrami County Agricultural society,
who arranged the meetings and who
is intensely interested in the best
methods for the farmers of northern
Minnesota to conduct their farming
operations.
Messrs. McLeran and Mackenzie
have been forming farmers organi-
cations at the different points where
they have held the institutes, and
the farmers have in all cases except
at one place joined in a protective
and business society, with an ex-
cellent membership. J.
At the meeting held in Maple
Ridge township, there were twenty
three farmers present, but no organi-
cation was formed; but it is ex-
pected that society will be organ
lied later. There was much inter-
est taken in the meeting, however,
