SHOT IN A WOLF HUNT
Young Man From Minneapolis rIis-
takes Companian for Wolf and
Kills Him in Brush.
Remains With Body of His Friend in
Woods Throughout the Night
and Keeps Silent Vigil.

Harry johnson of Minneapolis was
accidentally shot and killed by his
friend and companion, Harry Ramin,
at Shakopee lake on Sunday night at
IL O'Clock. The story of the tragedy,
so far as we can ascertain, is as fol-
lows:
The two young men had gone to the
lake country for the purpose of hunt
ing ducks. There they became
acquainted with two other men, resi-
dents of the locality in which they
were hunting, and invited to partici-
pate in wolf hunt. The two boys
readily accepted the invitation and
on Sunday evening, in company with
the other two men, started for the
woods. The carcass of a horse had
been placed at spot where the
wolves do mostly congregate and the
four hunters divided up, two going
down the main road and two follow
ing blind road. Later they entered
the brush, Johnson and Ramin being
together, and worked their way back
toward the carcass of the horse.
johnson and Ramin eventually be-
came separated and the latter, whose
feet had become stiffened with the
cold, moved out from the brush onto
the main road and strobe up and
down to warm himself. Startled by a
rustling in the brush and the bowling
of wolves, he brought his gun to his
shoulder to be in readiness for any
emergency. he saw an object within
a few yards of him move and fred two
shots in rapid succession-one ot
which killed his companion. John.
sons cry as he fell brought Ramin
post haste to his side, but it was too
late. Ramin, in the dim light, be.
lieved he was shooting at a wolf.
One of the charges, which consisted oI
a buckshot and several smaller ones,
entered Johnson's chest below the
shoulder and ranged downward, in
Aicting fatal wound. Ramin
almost prostrated with grief, sum.
moned the other two men who we're
waiting for wolves in the vicinity
They, however, soon returned to their
homes to give the alarm, but Ramir
remained throughout the night in the
woods among the wolves and KEPT
silent vigil o 'er the body of his friend
Coroner Bacon was notified and be
in turn phoned Sheriff Shockley, who
Immediately went to the scene of the
accident. It was not until Monday
morning, however, that the sheriff
was able to reach the place, and there
be found Ramin weeping beside his
dead comrade. The body was con
veyed to Onamia, where an inquest
was held and verdict of accidental
killing returned. VIM. Cordiner and
Andrew Sjoblom were among those
who composed the coroner's jury
The remains we're shipped to Min.
neapolis.
Neither johnson or Ramin were
over II years of age.

Have Had the Tri-state for Years.

One of our contemporaries, the
Little Falls Herald we believe, tells OF
proposed extensions to be built by the
Tri-State Telephone company next
spring, one of which includes q line
to Princeton. For years Princeton
has had both the Tri-State and North
western systems, and the service
given by the Tri- State cannot be ex-
celled. It is pleasure to talk over
the Tri-State lines., But we cannot
say as much for the other system. <

case for the legislature only, and if q
county option bill we're passed he
would sign it. he is, however, con-
tinually changing his views-or pre-
tending to-on the subject, and at
this time do not know where he is
at. The campaign is not so much of
a tariff question or other economic
question as it is of whether the people
shall rule. 1t is not question of re-
publicanism or democracy, but a
question of the people against privi-
lege.
He said he was asking nothing per-
sonally from the people; that he was
not a self-seeker, but was forced into
the race by circumstances; he had
been taken from private life which
agreed with him to make the race. If
the people agreed with him in the
policies which he advocates he asked
them to vote for him.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gray's
able speech Chairman Skahen an
nounced that Mr.. Gray would 60 to

with the people as they left the hall.
At the door G. A. Eaton, who sat on
the platform during the proceedings,
introduced the people to Mr.. Gray.

Alfred Jaques, den ocratic candidate
for congress in the Eighth district,
addressed a meeting at the court house
hall on political issues last evening.
The speaker was introduced by Chair
man J. J. Skahen and throughout his
discourse confined himself to congress
siOnal matters and threw in a liberal
sprinkling of criticism for Clarence
B. Miller. He said that the holders
of wealth have assumed and exercise
the power that was formerly held by
the people and that this was made
possible only by the representatives
these special interests have succeeded
in electing to congress. For num-
Der of years, he said, power had
grown up in the house wi ich has
evolved itself into big republican
machine and which recognizes,
through Speaker Cannon, only those
whom it feels inclined to. When a
bill is introduced which the great
house machine does not wish to be-
come law it is invariably killed in
committee-pigeonholed. This ma
chine which rules the house gave birth
to what is known as the insurgent
movement. It caused a number OF
progressive republicans to break
away from the regulars-they refused
to be dominated longer. The special
interests, he declared, established the
house machine for their own protec-
tion, but the time is fast approaching
when it will collapse.
j. Adam Bede, said Mr.. Jauues,
was Cannon man and believed the
speaker to be all right-Bede was
conscientious in his belief. But this
trust in Cannon was responsible for
his defeat. There was nothing under.
handed about Mr.. Bede. Mr.. Miller,
however, did not keep his promises to
his constituents. He said he would
oppose Cannon if he we're the only
house member to do so. But he voted
for the speakers reelection and also
for many other measures-which Mr..
Jaques enumerated-that he should
have voted against.
Mr.. Jaques said that it was general
ly conceded that the next house would
be democratic and therefore if elected
he could do much more for his constit-
uents than could Clarence B. Miller.
Being a democrat he would be on the
majority side.

the tubes will be completed within
from three to five years. Already
New Yorks transit facilities are crow
ded To their capacity. and at the pres
ent rate OF growth OF the city, condi-
lions Will soon be well nigh intoler-
able. The rush OF the home-going
crowds i'm the subway from 5 to 6

rush has subsidized. The new tube
system offers n distant curt for the
conditions which render going to and
from work in Manhattan task to be
undertaken only by those strong of
body and nerve.
Alternative plans are suggested for
the subway contracts, one permitting
private capital to bid upon the work
OF equipment, operation and mainten-
ance, as well as construction, and
the other anticipating the construc-
ton OF the system by city money. Bids
involving the latter plan will be open.

TWO-TON CHEESE. =.
At DAIRY SHOW

Chicago, Oct. 20.-With the world 8
champion heavyweight cheese as a
special drawing card, the National
Dairy Show was opened today i'm the
Coliseum and will continue ten days.

The big cheese is the masterpiece of
to this city on fiat car. II weighs
about two tons, and required 10000
pounds OF milk for its construction, or
the entire output Tor one day of 20
600 OF the best dairy COWS OF Wiscon-
sin. An army of half thousand men
was required to milk the cows for the
big cheese, and dozen expert cheese
makers built the cheese. After the
close OF the Chicago dairy show, the
great chees will be shipped to New
York for exhibition, after which II
Will be cut up and sold. Local sport
ing men have tried to arrange a bout
between the big Wisconsin heavy
weight and a little hundred FOUNDER
from Limburger. Germany, Offering
TO wager large sums OF money on the
latter but the dairy show authorities
refused to consider the proposition.
How milk is treated before being
delivered early each morning at the
back door or on the dumb-waiter of
the city dweller will be completely
demonstrated at the dairy show.
Those who imagine that the milk is
given the watercuree before it is de-
livered to the consumer are mistaken
say the dairy experts. How late ris-
ers may prevent their neighbors on
the floors above from swiping their
milk from the dumb walters Is AN.
other topic on which visitors will ask
to be enlightened.
Hundreds of dairymen from all over
the country are already here and
more are arriving on every train. A
number of important national conven.
lions will be held during the show,
including the sessions of the Ameri-

BUFFALO CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS

\ fractional fight for supremacy IN the

in all it, aspects TO the recent revolt
headed bv Mrs. Augusta Stetson in New

the annual business meeting of the First

taken by the meeting in regard to a
change in the bylaws foreshadows the

tees, in the same manner that Mrs. Stet-
son managed to control the church in
New York for so many years. The de-
feat of Mrs. Leavitt, following the SINH
lar fate meted out to Mrs Stetson, means
another victory for the directors of the
mother church in Boston in their cam
paign for supremacy in the affairs of the
cult. Mrs. Leavitt is well known in this
town through her ownership of The Ma

the First church, which should enable the
congregation to have the right of direct
nomination of the governing body. the
right of appeal to the entire body from
the action Of committee, the disciplinary
function to be vested in the congregation
as a whole each individual to have a
voice in the management of the church

in office.
The last clause hit directly at the lead
ership of Mrs. Leavitt, who lost no time
in striking back at those who opposed
her rule. She promptly caused the eX.
pulson of Mr. Iolcombe and those who
were most prominent among his follow

ing to the courts for aid. The result was
that they obtained an injunction forbid
