Attacked Husband With Knife.
The complaint says that once, while
they were at the residence of his par

struck him across the face and nose
and knocked him down and wounded
him badly.
In 1906, it is further alleged, Mr.
and Mrs. Split drove to Minnesota
Lake and bought a barrel of salt, and
while riding home he told her that his
brother would take half of it. She
then beat him with her heavy umbrella
and on their arrival at home she rolled
the barrel out of the wagon and took
an axe and chopped it to pieces and
scattered the salt over the yard.

TIES TO DAN ?. LINE
ELECTRIC ROAD FROM SPIRIT
LAKE TO FARIBAULT.
One Route Is Via Mapleton and Am
boy in Blue Earth County; An
other Is Through Winnebago, Min
nesota Lake; Project Said to Be
Backed By Ample Capital; the
Trolly North and South.

The engineer found another en-
trance to Fairmont which is admir-
able for an electric road, says The
Sentinel. This road is to cross the
end of Lake Sisseton south of the
railroad and follow the right of way
or nearly SO through town. The sta
tion could be located near to the two
depots which would make it very con
venient for the public.
AS The Sentinel understands the
situation an electric road is assured
from Sioux City to Spirit Lake. The
so-called Dan Patch line is also said
to be sure thing from the Twin
Cities as far as Faribault and about
twenty miles of this road has been
completed.
Two Routes Planned
Two routesgsare planned from Spirit
Lake to Faribault. The first runs
west of the body of water of that
name and among other towns will
touch the following: Jackson, Tri

The other route goes around the
cast shore of Spirit Lake and on the
way to Faribault will touch Peters
burg where there is an easy crossing
of the Des Moines river; Dunnell

less important towns.
Benefits of an Electric Road.

would be a good plan for the
school districts in this town
ship outside of Lansford to
move the old Lansford school
building to some central point,
and he suggests the southeast
quarter of section 81, and make
a central school. He argues
that the three school houses in
the township would sell to
better advantage and bring
more money than the old Lans-
ford school building, while it
would be better and cheaper
for the three districts to CEN
tralize than to run the three
schools as at present. We
