Remarkable Case of Longevity.

On the first of the new year 1910
Christopher Lee of Campbeil's s
Bridge section, after having pas
sed the Goth. year of his pilk rim
age here on earth, peacefully, his
immortal soul took its flight to a
better world. Five days following
his death his wife Agness, 80 years
old, after short illness followed
him. Mr.. Lee was a gallant fol-
lower OF the army in gray who's
heroic deeds in the sixties will, as
the world grows older, shine with
greater brilliancy on the pages of
history. Mr.. Lee and his wife
were members of the Mount Pleas
ant church. They leave quite a
number of children, grand and
great-grand children to mourn
their loss.

AGED NEGRO MEETS
HORRIBLE DEATH.
Alfred Stackbouse, Said 70
be More than 100 Years
Old, is Burned to Death
in the Flames that De-
stroy His Home.

Lying upon his bed helpless
invalid with no one near enough
to rescue him from the flames that
were slowly eating their way to his
bedside, Alfred Stackhouse, an
aged negro man, was burned to a
cinder in the fire that DESTROYED
his cottage in the eastern suburbs
at an early hour Tuesday evening.
The old negro man must have
met horrible death. For sever
'al months he had been a helpless
;nv,i, hand when the house caught
sre tha rnly persons near were his
tuo srn.,I o,-randchildren who fed
from the burnins4b !: building; STACK STACK
house was living with his I. t
and the daughter had gone 70 &
store to buy some food tor supper.
When she returned home the house
was a mass of seething flames.
Her statement of the tragedy is
that she rushed in and opened the
door leading to the old man s room
but was driven back by the flames.
Next she rushed outside and call
ed to her father who answered but
when she attempted to open the
window to the bed room she was
again driven away by the flames.
1t is probable the ole man was
suttocated before the flames reach
ed his body and the statement of
the woman that she heard him an
swer her call was due to a highly
wrought imagination in the ex-
citement of the moment.
Uncle" Alfred as he was known
TO everybody in the country was
said to be mere than 100 years old.
He was an old man at the close of
the war. He estimated his age at
10Y. AT one time he owned valu-
able property in the edge of town,
but some years ago disposed of
this property, put the proceeds in
trust and lived on an annuity. He
was very polite to everybody and
was distinct type of the ante
bellum darkey.
His tragic taking off is greatly
deplored by members of both races.
Near the spot where Uncle"
Alfred met his tragic death a ne
gro child was burned to death a
few years ago in fire that de-
stroyed the home while the moth
er was absent.

Repeal OF the Lien Law.

VII JdludIy L, lSlO, INC TcW
lien law enacted by the general
assembly at its last session goes
into effect. There seems to be some
misunderstanding or want of un-
derstanding as to how far the new
law repeals the old; or how far
liens will lawfully hold under the
new law. 1t remains. of course,
that the rent for the land consti-
tutes a lein on the crop grown
upon it, and also that the advances
made by farmer to a tenant for
the crop grown upon his land con-
stitute lien upon the crop grown
on the land, but as to whether such
a lien is transferable is a point on
| which there is much disagree
rnent.
A firm of eminent attorneys, who
for reasons of their own do not
wish their names to be known,
but whose reputation it SO well es-
tablished that its adviCe is unhe-
sitatingly accepted; has given the
following Interpretation of the
! Jaw on this point to an exchange:
In our opinion the act of 1909
concerning the lien law only repe-
aled the right of an agriculturalist
to give a lien for advances made
by a person other than his land.
lord. We think the landlord has the
right to make advances to his ten
ants and that IN addition to his
rent lien, he will have lien for
advances so made.
We do not think the landlord car
enter into contract with his ten.
ant to furnish him supplies then
assign this lien to merchant and
let this merchant furnish him sup
plies for the act distinctly gives
the lien for adv vanc
to the landlord for all adj
vances made by the landlord tc
such tenant during the year"
The act of 1906, page S3, al.
lows the landlord to assign his
lein for rent due and his lien ad-
vances made by the landlord tc
such tenant during the year
The act of 1906, page 80, al.
lows the landlord to assign his
lien for rent due and his lien for
advances made, and gives the as
signee right to enforce the lien,
but we do not think this latter act
was intended for any more than
to enable the assignee to enforce,
and under the law as it now stands.
To have lien for advances the
landlord must make the advances
himself to the tenant.
From this it will be seen that,
while the new law leaves the land
lord ample protection it leaves the
merchant none at all. That this
will to considerable degree
modify the old time tenant farm
ing system seems certain, but
whether for better or tor worse
remains to be seen.-Augusta Her

man in the saloon, both being drunk
at the time, and that Olander fell
with the other man on top. He did

was allowed to sit there from 7:30
until the saloon closed at II p. m.
The second man is not know to the
witnesses by name, but by sight.
Olander did not make move
after he, was thrown to the floor

DEAD FROM INJURIES
RECEIVED IN BRAWL
Louis Olander Died in City Jail as
Result of Blow on Head
Nyberg Arrested.

Louis Olander was injured so
badly last night in Ole Anderson's
saloon that he died this morning
in the city hall from his injuries.
He had been drinking heavily and
became engaged in a scuffle with
another man and in the fraCas, re-
ceived the injuries which resulted
in his death.
Fred Nyberg has been locked up
the police. He was picked up soon
after the assault but was to drunk to
say anything. This morning he was
still befuddled and could give no
clear account of his actions last
night. He says that he remembers
being in Anderson's saloon but does
not remember anv scuff1e.
1t is not yet certain what caused
Olander's death. Some say that he
was hit over the head with a beer
bottle, but others that his head was
injured as the result of fall, The
true cause will probably come out in
the coroner's inquest. Olander was
railroad hand and has been in Be-
midi several times during the
spring. Nyberg is supposed to be a
lumber jack.
Nyberg is being held by the
police until after the coroner's sn-
quest this afternoon. the inquest
is scheduled at 2 o'clock, and dis
position will then be made of the

CONSIDER IT A
KNOCK AT Them
Germans Object to Pope's

OFFICIAL PROTEST MADE

Chancellor Won Rethmann-Hollweq, in
Statement to the Prussian Diet,

Berlin, June 10.-Chancellor Won
Bethr:ann-Hollweg, replying to an in
terpellation in the Prussian diet, spoke
with decided emphasis regarding the
recently issued papal encyclical,
which he construed as condemnatory
OF religious reformers. The chancel-

"The papal encyclical contains judg.

Immediately after the Latin text of
the encyclical had been received I

expressed the expectation of Germany
that the curia would find way to

Captain Smith says the boys are

BRA|NERD MEN WAIT FOR
SURE TRANSPORTATION
Cannot Arrange for Picnic Here Until
Granted Enough Cars by Northern
Pacific.

When it was learned Tuesday
that the union men of Brainerd
might not picnic at Bemidji as they
had planned, Al Jester, secretary of
the Commercial club, appointed
Henry Woodward as committee of
one to 20 to Brainerd and try to
land the picnic for Bemidji. There
had been some talk in Brainerd that
the men would 60 to a Cass Lake
picnic ground.
Brainerd men say that they voted
to come to Bemidjl and still want to
come here but that it is a question
as to whether or not they can get
the cars necessary for the trans.
portation of such a large number oil
people. The Northern Pacific has
not yet promised the cars and until
they do, no definite plans can be
made.
The union men say that they
intend to come to Bemidj il if posi-.
BILE, but that if they cannot obtain
cars, they will be forced to hold
the picnic on the home grounds
OF at least some place nearer than
Bemidji or Cass Lake. It is hoped
that the railroad will allow the
men to have the cars and that the
committee can get to work at once.
