is SHOT IN THE HEAD BY RoBBER
Owner and Gives Bandit
Chance to Make
Escape.

Minneapolis, Minn-With bullet
in his head and spirited team of
horses to control, Peter Smith, farm
er living in Plymouth township,
fought and subdued hold-up man who
tried to rob him while he was on his
way home from Minneapolis. The
would.be robber made his escape, but
not until Smiths team had become
frightened and claimed all his atten-
tion.
Smith had reached a lonely place
about two miles north of Keegan's
lake when he discovered that he was
not alone in the wagon. Just as he
turned he was confronted by a tall
stranger with huge revolver in his
hand. Smith made for him.
Without taking chances in person
al encounter, the thug fired his gun
twice. One of the shots took effect in
Smiths head. Smith dropped the lines
and grappled with his assailant. The
highwayman finally gave up.
Smiths team became frightened
and started to run away. Smith had
to relinquish his hold on his prisoner,
who rolled off the wagon and disap-
peared.
Smith hurried to DR.. I. C. Mcdonald,
where his wound was dressed. An
automobile carrying four police off,
GERS fastened to the scene, but no
trace of the robber was found. The
search will be continued.

blocks Of birch. He found also tools
and implements made of stone, bone
and horn, many Of them an entire
novelty. A chisel and an auger were
of bone and an old hook was Of wood.
There were many fragments Of decor

of the house was adapted especially
to safety, as 1t stood in the midst Of

ROW DUE OVER TURK.

Minneapolis. - The naturalization
problem reached the United States
district court in Minneapolis, when
Deputy Clerk George F. Hitchcock,
Jr.. received orders from Raymond
F. Crist, acting chief of the ma
turalization bureau in Washington, to
procure the surrender of the triplicate
famous, Syrian.
Mr.. Hitchcock did not seem to be
much more certain of Mr.. Crisis au-
thority than does Clerk A. E. Allen, of
the Hennepin court, who has declined
to obey similar order in four other
cases.
The divisions letter reads:
with respect to declaration of in
tention No. ia, filed April "a, 1909,
attention is invited to the fact that
the declarant is an Asiatic. In the
opinion of the government, the laws of
the United States do not intend to
Asiatics the privilege of becoming ma
turalized citizens. This fact should
be brought to the attention of said
declarant, in order that he may sur
render his triplicate declaration of in
tention for cancellation"
Mr.. Hitchcock declined to discuss
what his attitude would be. He has
not yet notified famous of the govern
mental ruling. There is an impression
in his Office that he is doubtful of the
Interpretation of the law by which
Syrians are excluded. AS a member
of the department of justice, Mr..
Hitchcock is in federal department
whose support is claimed by the divi.
sion of naturalization.

Law, Not Letters.

According to Tennessee man
there was once Judge in the eastern
section of the state, man we'll versed
in law, but entirely self-educated, who
had to contend with the principles Of
photography all his life In early life
he had lived in Knoxville, and for a
long time he insisted upon spelling the
name Noxville.
Finally his friends educated him up
to the point of adding the "K;" so
thoroughly, in fact. was the lesson,
learned that when, . few years after
ward, he removed to Nashville nothing
could prevent him from spelling It
Knashville.
Then some time later the iudse
moved again. this time to Murfrees.
boro. On the day that he began to
write his first letter from this place
he scratched his head in perplexity
and finally exclaimed:
Il give it up! How on earth can
they spell the namo of this place with

Johnson, in recounting some of the
incidents of his raid upon the saloons
of Mahnomen last week, and his sub
sequent arrest. 1--WE had been in
informed after destroying all the
liquor we could find at OBema and
Waubon that we would have trouble
at Mahnomen. It was reported that
there was real killer at Mahnomen,
a fellow named Bolieau or something
like that, and were warned to be on
our guard.
I'VE began our work at Mahnomen
about 10 o'clock in the morning, and
had cleaned out several places, when
Ia large crowd gathered in front Of
Miller's place, where the deputies were
at work.
Zone Of the deputies told me that
the crowd wanted to see me and
went out and asked what was wanted.

1--WE are the council" said one man,

busy just then, so closed the door
and went on with seizure of liquor.
A little later the crowd burst into

deputy sheriff of Mahnomen county
had sworn in forty-five deputies to aid
the town marshall and the city council
in preserving the peace.
"'What do you want?' asked,
after the crowd had halted me.
Zone man with a paper in his hand
jumped out and shouted: We want to

other men?' 1 asked.

man with the paper.
"'Well, you can have them all as

ing to be arrested then, but would
not permit it as long as there was any
liquor to be found in the town. An
unarmed boy could have arrested me
and the idea of swearing in forty-flve
deputies for the job was intensely
funny.
"Mahnomen county will have q nice
bill to pay in defending the saloons.
Our bill at the Polk court Jail in
Crookston, am informed, will reach
$64O. Then there is the expenses of
the forty-five deputies and other ex-
penses which will amount to several
hundred dollars more. And on top of
this will come the expense of the
court proceedings at Duluth and the
fees of the attorneys, which probably
will not be small. Mahnomen county
