sitting up straight.

he pulled out copy of the German pa

do to you this morning." and he read
a scathing editorial, translating as no

like school boy. He told the worried
worker that he would attend to that

whom he told In kindly way that
he owned the paper and that 1t didn't

"Ach, Colt, didn't know dot" said
the old man as he backed his way out
and Mr.. Oliver thought the incident
closed. But next day the former
worker walked in with rage in his
eye. That mornings editorial was
worse than all others. The old editor
was sent for. He explained:

But in few days 1t was, announced
that Oliver had sold the paper. He
didn't want any paper that insisted on

enced her first safe-b blowing last Sun
day morning about 2 o'clock when
the office of the feed mill of Henry
Zumhofe was entered and the safe
cracked. The robbers after gaining
entrance through a side door drilled
a small hole through the safe from
the top and the door then blown off
from the inside. Sacks of grain
were piled over and around the safe
and the explosion was thus muffied,
only one or two persons hearing it.
and owing to the fire cracker shoot
ing the first part of the night no
second thought was given to it.
The intruders were either scared off
or were in too great hurry as two
insurance policies and a few alb
stracts were snatched up but an un-
locked and partially open drawer
with about $40 in cash in it was left
untouched. Old hands evidently
did the work as the detonation was
carefully muffied, the door neatly
blown off the hinger and just enough

BRUTAL MURDER
NEAR ABERDEEN
Emil Victor, a Farm Hand, Charg-
ed With the Crime

Aberdeen: July emil Victor,
the farm hand employed by John
Morrow of Rudolph, who was ar
rested Saturday night on suspicion
of having murdered }. w. Christie,
his wife and daughter, Mildred, and
15-year-old Michael Roynane, was
held to await the action of the
courts, the coroner's jury express
ing the opinion that from the evi-
dence presented to us, we believe
that Emil Victor was implicated in
the deaths of said persons.
When it became known that the
man suspected of the murders was
in the Brown county Jail, there was
talk among the hotheads of lynch
ing, Sheriff Anderson determined to
take no chances. placed a strong
guard about the Jail. But no effort
was made to reach the prisoner.
Victor denies his guilt and says he
was in Conde at the time the murders
were committed. Upon him were
found a mans gold watch, man. S
penknife in case. a gold brooch
with chatelaine pin, and another
gold brooch with a cameo bar pin,
and third with a plain bar pin,
besides a pocketbook containing
some change. Concealed beneath a
truss pad the sheriff found $l3 in 81
and 81 bills. Witnesses have partly
identified the watch and some of the
iewelry as belonging to the Chrlsties.
Witnesses at the inquest testified
that Victor had several times talked
about how easy it would be to rob
Christie, and it is also said that he
and the murdered man had disa-
greed at one time, the dispute being
about the sale of some wheat.
June %. eight days before the
murder. Victor visited an Aberdeen
newspaper office and left a news
item, written by himself, stating
that he was a member of wealthy
and prominent family of Buffalo. N.
Y. He stated that, after visiting
with some friends week at North
vile, he intended returning to Buff
falo to visit his relatives and to raise
funds for the purpose of building an
airship which he had invented. He
also stated that he expected to re-
turn next fall and make heavy pur-
chases of real estate in the vicinity.
Victor was so anxious to assure
the insertion of the item that he
left some money to assure its publ
cation.

individual" Watermelons

Arlington Sun: The latest agri-
cultral fad is the individual" water
melon. Melons will be grown just
large enough for one. Then they
will be served on china plate. with
a silver knife and tissue doiley.
But who wants such thing. The
finest thing about a watermelon is
its sociability. The proper way to
eat a melon is for one man to buy
it. Then he sticks it under his arm
and casually says. come along" to
those who happen to be there. A
shady corner with dry goods box
handy is chosen, and, and then the
first jack knife produced opens the
bali, Each man cuts his own slice,
saying as he does so that he only
wants a small piece. The fellow
who bought the melon is accorded
the privilege of having at least part
of the core. When each man has
carefully wiped the plug tobacco
trimmings from his knife blade and
appropriated his share of the melon,
he takes place where he can spit
the seeds about ten feet over ten
edge of the sidewalk. His shirt
sleeve serves as a dolly. and who
would ask for a better? And when
they have finished that melou every
man knows that the rest of them
are better fellows than he had ever
before supposed. The jack knives
are carefully wiped on their trousers
and restored to their places. and
the group disperses, but the melon
has done its work. Individual
melons! 1t is nothing but coward
ly attempt on the part of agricultural
department to work up sentiment
in favor of the anti-treatlng idea,
