TOO FREE WITH
HIS SHOTGUN
A Little Farm Row That Furn.
ished an Interesting Session
in the Municipal Court.

For being a little too careless
about the direction in which he
pointed his doublebarreled, ham,
merless, IL gauge shotgun, John
Flohr, farmer near Raymond, was
fined $5 and costs in municipal
court Monday. The costs, by the
way, amounted to $780,. which,
expressed in terms of the number
of shots he fired. means $500 per.
Under ordinary circumstances Flohr
would blow in only about three
cents every time he pulled the trig-
ger-and he would have to use
high toned' shells at that-but
the circumstances were not ordin-
ary. and thereby hangs a tale.
Flohr bought the farm he lives
on last fall. One John Weertz had
already purchased the hay crop,
and in due time he cut and stacked
it, and in January-on the newt
able hoodoo day Of the thirteenth
he came to press it. being assisted
by John Schuler and Al Glasman.
Flohr's horses were running loose,
and feeling little frisky on ac-
count of the cold weather, they
commenced to play tag with Weertz
and his crew, coming up just close
enough to pilfer mouthful of
Weertz' feed, and then taking to
the snow drifts as fast as thier
horse legs could carry them. This
was little more horse play than
Weertz could stand. First he SAID
things fortunately for his stand.

Then he THREW things at the hor.

shovel. That chased THEM away,
but it also brought their owner and
his doublebarreled, hammerless, e
gauge, 1920 per shot gun. These
two, working together, soon became
masters of the situation. Glasmar
was backed up to the stack and
Weertz was ordered to put out 9

for his order that fire was bad fol

with the aforesaid shovel. Finding

The Man
Who Stole
The Earth"
By W. Holt Whife

| CHAPTER LxvI.-(contlnued).
He made no excuse for himself,
made no explanation. made no com
ment on what had happened. He
merely gave the curt order:
| Back to the admiralty
| The Victor" put back.
| He then took up the wireless and
licked a query. and he was sufficient
ly collected now To smile TO himself
at the promptitude with which that
query was answered. Obviously con
| slant watch had been set over the In
strument since he had delivered his
ultimatum in the morning.
You will understand, IL you please
that | wish to deal ON a matter of i'm
portant business with his majesty the
car himself. AT the present moment
the czarovitch is in my possession. and
am not ashamed TO use that posses
sion as a lever"
The answer came:
"Al communications from you will
be instantly repeated by telephone &c
the palace"
Then you know the news?'' said
Strong.
I'VE are aware of the facts" was
the answer.
There was a little pause, and Their
the sparks in the instrument began
to play again.
His imperial majesty the car Is
waiting" was the message.
Strong smiled rather unpleasant
little smile TO himself.
"Tll bet" he said lit Is not very OF
ten that his imperial majesty has wait
ed"
Then he licked:
Inform his majesty that hold the
czarovitch as hostage. IL his majest,
will consent to withdraw the Russian
troops from the frontier OF Bahama
the czarovitch shall be restored L
him. But, though much is done In thu
, name OF the czar which is really thu
work OF his officials, I decline TO de
! liver up the czarovitch until thos'
troops have been actually Withdrawn.
The reply was short and dignifled:
. Please understand that his impe
. rial majesty will in nowise agree Z
any such Arrangement, even though
| he loses his son. He believes tina
even Mr.. Strong cannot afford TO risl
being branded as inhuman by tn

Strong raped back

The reply was

this answer final?"
1T must be considered final until
the car has held the great council o
