CLERKS MISTAKE
FATAL TO SEVEN
SELLS GASOLINE INSTEAD OF
KEROSENE CAUSING AN
EXPLOSION.

Warroad, Mimi, Nov. 10.-The mis-
take made by clerk in local store
in selling Nels Johnson, living three
miles south of here, gasoline instead
of kerosene, is held responsible for the
wiping out of the Johnson family.
johnson ordered five gallons Of kero-
sene from local concern. A clerk
had previously emptied barrel of
gasoline into the kerosene tank, and
Johnson got gasoline instead of coal
oil. He used little of the contents
of the can to start the kitchen fire,
and explosion followed, the noise Of
which was heard a mile away.
Trevor Garry of Warroad, who was
driving by the johnson home, saved
two children and took Johnson, badly
burned to town, where he died yester-
day.
The mother and five children were
cremated in the house, which burned
to the ground.

AN EMPIRE OF GRASS.

Natures offering in abundant grass
to the north of us that has gone beg
ging for takers all summer is now
going back to whence it came by
means Of the element of heat, and the
sight cannot, but divert our thoughts
from where they belong to the great
waste going on year after year only
because OF few inches of water about
evenly distributed over the almost
boundless rich plains now doing only
as much service to the world as is
measured by the furs of few measly
muskrat and mink. But there is so
lace in the anticipation of the ideal
condition that can, and in the near
future must, prevail over the barren
tho fertile region when it shall arise
in it's might, being given the opportun
ity to show its immeasurable possibil-
tiles by means of comparatively few
dollars expended in drainage.-Ger.

started. And so we can continue.
We are just SO far from the solution
Of the problem, unless it be that we
need to overhaul our selling methods,
and to study the advertising problem
from different point of view. Keep
up with the times. You can't expect
to keep up, if you remain where you
were twenty or even ten years ago.
The world is moving; and if we don't
move, we are left behind, where we
ought to be.
Suppose our stronger merchants
for instance, should say: "Come to us
and tell us you saw an advertisement
in the paper, and we will send it tc
you for three or six or twelve months
all depending on the amount of your
purchase" Would not this be abou,
equivalent to a mail-order catalog
nay, would it not mean much more!
This is meant to be entirely i'm.
partial, since the writer is neither an
editor nor merchant. He favors
the home trade every time.

90 WE NEED A NEW DEPOT.

The two happy young couples at
the Great Northern depot one even
ing this week were not "spooning.''
altho from appearances it would seem
So The young men simply sat in the
laps Of the young ladies so as to
make room for other people to sit
down on the limited number of seats
which Jim Hill just put there in the
early SOS.
Mr. Hill dosen,t seem to realize
that Warren has grown since he put
that depot there. The passenger traf
fic has grown to such an extent that
if Mr.. Hill cant afford to give us a
new depot he surely ought to be able
to install a few NOR seats for the ac-
commodation Of the travelling public.

"HELD UP"

Get out and line up," where the
words that surprised wagon load of
young people as they were making
their way home one Sunday evening
after a pleasant visit with friends in
the country The words were uttered
in harsh and commanding tones and
were enforced by revolvers which
were pointed at the driver by the
four highwaymen as the horses were
seized and unhitched from the wagon.
The badly frightened young men and
girls got out of the wagon, thinking of
home, their friends, their money and
jewelry, and how far it would be to
walk home in the dark. But sudden
ly their fears gave way. One of the
highwayme let out burst of laugh
ter, and the bold, bad highway
men were recognized as the same
friends with whom the afternoon had
been spent. and who had played a
practical joke on the visitors. The
party of young towns people were
soon On their way again and reached
home safely after many jolt in
a wagon whose one hind wheel and
one front wheel had been surrepti-
tiously interchanged by the spooks
who were out in force that night.

LIFE OF GOVERNOR JOHNSON.

Frank A. Day. private secretary of
the late Governor johnson, has under
taken to public a biography Of the
lamented Governor. He does this at
the request of Mrs. Johnson. and as
the most intimate friend, perhaps,
that the late Governor had, he is un-
doubtedly peculiarly qualified for the
task There are thousands Of friends
Of the late Governor who would like
to have some permanent record and
memorial of his life and works. It
would seem as il there should be q
great demand for such biography as
Mr.. Day proposes to issue. The book
will be about four numbered pages
and will be well bound and typo
graphically perfect. The book will be
profusely and handsomely illustrated,
and will be in every respect a publi-
cation worthy of a place in every
Minnesota home. Governor John
sons life was an inspiration to every
ambitious b:v and girl, and record
of that life on the library table will
be valuable contribution to the edu-
cation Of the children. We under
stand that Mr. Day will distribute
the book through the medium of
agents to be appointed IN every
county of the state.

WARREN YOUNG MAN IS SHOT IN
LEG.

Geo. tGus) Johnson, the victim Of
the third accident Of the week, is a
homesteader residing on the Rapid
River, about twelve miles above
Clementson. On Monday morning
(last week) he went visiting at the
home Of his sister, Mrs. C.A.Peterson,
Early in the day he left there to go
to his homestead and took his gun
along In case he saw any game. He
succeeded in shooting three part
ridge and he stopped at the bachelor
home Of John Anderson, where he
left two of the birds in the kitchen
and he proceeded to take the other
one outside to clean. In closing the
kitchen door he displaced Anderson's
gun, which was standing just outside.
The gun in falling was discharged and
the contents entered his leg about
half way to the knee. It made ter
rible wound. about an inch Of tn.
bone being shot clear away. The
wound was hastily bound and start
made for Clementson. This was
about 10 a. m. and the long tedious
trip was not completed until seven
in the evening. Word was then sent
to Mrs. Buttolph, who arrived at ten
o'clock, and the injured man was re.
ceived into the Spooner hospital at
two in the morning. DR.. Corrigan
worked fifteen minutes cleaning the
wound before he succeeded in getting
out all the dirt which had got into
the wound The patient is doing
nicely, and it is thought that the leg
will be saved, but his recovery will be
very slow. He is suffering consider.
able pain.
The victim of the accident came
about year ago from Warren, where
his parents reside. and took up a
homestead on the Rapid River. He
was 25 years of age the day before
the accident. II served his country
as q soldier in the PHILIPPINES and
went thru the war without a scratch
only to come out Of it and have his
/ leg all but shot away in the peaceful
Rapid River country. He will be laid
| up for several months. Rainy Rive,
