for 1911 and, by q unanimous vote,
awarded the contract to the Princeton
Uni on. The q ms bid was sc
per cent of legal rates. Last year
the U n on received full legal rates,
butt bid included the furnishing OF
supplements to the Milaca Times,
Onamia Lake Breeze and Wahkon
Enterprise. This year no supple
ments will be furnished to any paper,
SO that the amount of compensation
will be practically the same as in 1910.
The u mons extensive circulation,
covering, as it does, the entire county,
will, however, give broad publicity to
the proceedings of the county board
as contemplated by law. The sense
OF the law governing such matters is
that reliable paper with the lar
gest bona fide circulation should be
selected in which to publish the pro-
ceedings of the board and other coun-
ty notices. Hence it cannot be said
that the commissioners did not act for
the benefit of the greatest number in
their selection of the Union as the
official county paper.

Throws Two in One Night.

Fred Hass went to Bird Island last
week to wrestle Ed Kromet. It took
Fred but short time to throw him
and after that Kromet weakened at
any rate he refused to tackle Fred for
the second bout. Fred was conse-
quently declared the winner. Then
wrestler from Waubay, S. D.,
-Chas. Keillor - challenged Hass
and 500 side was posted. Fred
made short work of this man also,
throwing him twice in rapid
succession. Fred would be much
pleased to meet some of the more
strenuous wrestlers which congregate
at Bird Island-the last two proved q
snap for him.
Harry Pratt of Zimmerman refereed
the matches and J. 81. Heffner of
the same place was also present.

A Scientific Match.

Fred Hass and Ben Pavelka, cham
pion Bohemian wrestler of America,
entered the arena at the armory on
Tuesday night for a finish match-best
two out of three falls. AL who wit
messed the contest agree that it was
the most skillful match ever pulled
off in Princeton. Both men were in
the pink of condition, and both are
giants so far as muscular develop
ment is concerned, but Pavelka is the
heaviest of the two, and to this is
attributed his victory. Hass, how
ever, gave him one of the liveliest
tussles he had ever been up against
The contestants we're as sinuous as
cells and had been tussIing with one
another for more than 20 minutes
when Pavelka obtained his first fall.
AS fresh as ever, apparently, they went
at it again and Pavelka succeeded in
getting another fall in 10 minutes.
This ended the match. Mr.. Pavelka
is a gentlemanly young fellow and
put up a good, clean contest. He
gives Fred Hass much credit, saying
he is one of the most formidable op-
ponents he ever tackled. +"
A couple of preliminary bouts we're
pulled off, one between Lewis King
and Young Briggs, in which the
former won, and another between two
boys-Trunk and Wylie- which proved
a draw.

Mrs. E. M. Sinclair SurDrised.


While Mrs. Sinclair was engaged
in her usual daily busting of the
household furniture on Friday she
was summoned to the front door by
the ringing of the bell. And there q
great surprise awaited her--18 ladies
we're clamoring for admittance. They
we're all old friends of hers, of course,
and, carrying packages of various
shapes and sizes, they rushed into. the
house and took possession thereof.
Mrs. Sinclair had almost forgotten
that it was her 10th birthday ami
versary but her friends had not, and
they proposed that the event should
be appropriately celebrated. They
unpacked their parcels and produced
all sorts of good things to eat-ice
cream, cake, etc.-and proceeded to
set the table and make coffee. A most
pleasant time followed and during
the afternoon cards we're played and
Mrs. Sinclair was presented with
many pretty remembrances of her
birthday anniversary. a..
In all there we're Is ladies present
including four from Milaca, Mes
danes Tulty, Davis, Van Rhee and
Norcross.
Mrs. Sinclair tells the U MON that
it was one of the most enjoyable
events of her life-that it was sur
prise in the true sense of the word.
She had no idea, whatsoever, that the
ladies had planned such a treat for
her. =

Continuous Electric Service

AT its last netting the village council
decided to inaugurate on February !
a day electric service in addition to
the night service and has ordered a
number of motors, fiat irons and fans
for the convenience of patrons. An
electric motor is very useful piece OF
mechanism-you touch button and
the power is at your command. Elec-
trio tlat irons, and fans in the torrid
season, will also be welcomed. Many
towns the size of, or smaller than
Princeton have had day electric SER
vice for years.
The council has raised the salary
OF Superintendent Randall from 500
per month to 1925. Mr.. Randall is a
6rst-class electrician and is fully de-
serving of the advance in salary.

Princeton Hotel Gutted

Shortly after IL o'clock on Monday
night an alarm of fire was turned in
from the Princeton hotel, owned and
occupied by Chas. A. Grow. The de-
partment put forth it's best efforts to
save the building but it was CON plete-
ly Quilted before the flames could be
subdued. A few articles were re-
moved from the house but most of the
furniture was ruined. The fire is
supposed to have originated from
defective or overheated chimney. An
insurance of 81 200 was carried on the
building and $1,000 on the furniture
in one of the companies represented
by J. J. Skahen. The building was
probably worth So, 600.

Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses.

Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses.
Will Farwell, whose home was for
merly at Spencer Brook, was brought
before Justice Dickey on Saturday
morning charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses and, upon
promise to make good, the case was
remanded until Monday. At that time
Farwell, failing to keep his promise,
was bound over to the grand jury.
The history of the case is as follows:
Last April Farwell borrowed 1927. SO
from J. J. Skahen, giving as security
mortgage on two horses and two
head of cattle. When the note became
due Mr.. Skahen sought to collect it
and then discovered that Farwell had
left Spencer Brook for parts I'M
known. He also received information
that Farwell was not possessed either
of the horses or cattle at the time he
borrowed the money-in fact that he
owned no property.
Sheriff Shockley was thereupon put
on the case and after long search
succeeded in locating his man. The
sheriff bounced upon him near Lake
City last week and brought him to
Princeton on Saturday. Yesterday
morning Farwell was taken to the
Hennepin county Jail for safe keeping
until court convenes on January %.

dency on Mr.. Bryson. "
L. s. Briggs Resigns the Treasurer
ship and c. A. Jack is Elected
to Fill the Position.

On Tuesday afternoon, at the Office
of M. S. Rutherford & Co., was held
the annual meeting of the Mile Laos
County Agricultural association and
the following members we're elected to
constitute a board of directors for the
year 1911: :...
Andrew Bryson, president; Frank
Goulding, vice president; G.. A. Jack,
treasurer; Ira G. Stanley, secretary ;
S. S. Peterson, j. j. Skahen, G. A..
Eaton. e..
The association showed it's good
sense in re-electing Andrew Bryson
president. To Mr.. Bryson is due the
fact that the fair grounds we're so we'll
arranged last year-he personally
super intended and assisted in the i'm
provements that we're then made. AS
further improvements on larger
scale are contemplated for this year it
is we'll that Mr.. Bryson was re-
elected, for the association can depend
upon him to see that the work is
properly executed.
L. S. Briggs resigned as treasurer
of the society in consequence of not
being able to devote time to the duties
required. He has, however, been re-
placed by another good man, G. A.
Jack. The reelection of Ira G.. Stan
ley as secretary will meet with the
approval of every one. Ira attends
strictly to the duties of his Office and
no better man could be found for the
position.
The financial statement of the as
ISOLATION was presented by Treasurer
Briggs and accepted. It gives the re-
ceipts and expenditure of the associa-
ton from the date of it's organization
to January 10, 1911, and shows cash
balance in the treasury of S94.08.
The report follows:

Claude Briggs was thawing out the

touched off the kerosene-soaked rag
which was wrapped around the
cylinder and the flames shot upward
higher than he anticipated. A pail Of
water would have extinguished the

excited and turned in an alarm. Be-
fore the department arrived at the
house the fire had been put out. The
damage was estimated at 10 cents.

TIE WEEKS DEATHS
Ad0n E. Whitney Passes Away at
Seattle Following an Opera.
ton for Appendicitis.
r1rS. John Orion of Elk River and the
Aged Father of John Dalchow
.. Called to the Beyond.

Adon E. Whitney died at Seattle on
Saturday morning, January 7, fol-
lowing an operation for appendicitis.
He had apparently recovered from the
effects of the operation when he
suffered a relapse from which he
failed to rally. On October 81 he left
Princeton for Seattle, thinking that
a change of climate might improve his
health. At that time he had been
su ffering for over year with
Brlght's disease and was also suffer-
ing from chronic appendicitis, and
DR.. Cooney stated while before he
left that he could not possibly live
over six months whether he made q
change of climate or not.
Adon' E. Whitney was the Oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Whitney.
He was born in Foreston on January
%, 1885, and attended the public
schools in Princeton. He was en-
ployed as deputy county auditor of
Mile Laos county under his father for
several years and upon his fathers
resignation from Office was appointed
auditor to fill the unexpired term.
Sickness, however, compelled him to
resign his position before the term ex-
PRED. He was married on January
20, 1909, to Miss Lenertz, who, with
one child, survives him. He also
leaves his father, mother, and a
brother and sister, Leon and Edna.
Adon had many friends in Princeton
who will be sorry to learn of his
demise.

John DalchoW. Sr

County Commissioner John Dalchow
returned on Monday from Silver
Lake, Mcleod county, where he at
tended the funeral of his father, who
had reached the ripe old age of IS
years. Mr.. Dalchow is survived by
his wife, three sons-John and Henry
of Bogus Brook and Albert of Water
town--and two daughters. He had
never been sick in his life until taken
to his bed day or. so before his
death. He served in the First Mime
sofa regiment during the civil war
and participated in many battles.
He had lived on the homestead where
he died for 81 years. Mr.. Dalchow
was one of the sturdy German
pioneers who contributed his share
toward the upbuilding of this great
state of Minnesota and who voluntari-
lily enlisted in the army when his
adopted country was in peril.
