Ruse That Won a Satisfactory Pose

The repairs on the house we're COM
pleted and the shavings swept out; also
Il new coat of paint added dressiness

ing considered. the question of mo-
ment was how to pose Katusha.
Rolled into a ball every cat looks
like every other cat; hence it was Ka-
tusha in action that must grace the
foreground. Being %abominably cod
died and fat action was tie last thing
that appealed to Katusha. Coaxing
and likewise prodding made no effect.
She had been known upon occasions
to be stirred by. a morsel of delectable
food. But fancy an aristocratic feline
pictured in the attitude of tearing at a
chicken bone! Impossible for Katu-
sha.
There arose an emergency and with
it the mistress. who disappeared into
the house and brought forth a branch
of japanese paper cherry blossoms. A
w of them before Katusha's eyes
was like making some hypnotic pass.
She got up, stretched her body, While
her nose just reached the pinkish flow
ers. That was it! They appealed to
her aestheticism.
Snap went the camera. 1t was per-
feet.
How began the man Of the
house.
Just the alluring fragrance Of a
silver Of chicken secreted in the
bough," said herself as Katusha rolled
back into a ball.-Kansas City Star.

was provision in the city ordinance
which prohibited him from making
any such improvements.
He said that he wanted to raise
the kitchen roof about a foot and
half and make porch. He
thought that this would be no
building, but although the ordinance
would not permit any new improve
ments to be made, some discrepan-
cies should be shown. On motion
of Commissioner Henline, it was de-
cided to put the communication on
file.
Letter From Brewing Company.
A letter was received from the
Minneapolis Brewing company quot
ing the ordinance in regard to the
allowing of building permits, and
saying that if the council still per-
sisted in refusing the building per-
nit for their addition to their pres
ent building they were willing to
build a wall twelve inches thick the
first story and eight inches for the
second story. The council agreed to
ask the Minneapolis Brewing COM
pany to build the above described
wall instead of making the addition
according to their former plans.
The guaranty bond from j. G.
Robertson covering the contract for
the waterworks and construction of
the water tank was received and on
motion of Councilman Henline, it
was decided to accept the extension
of this bond. 1t was also decided to
put the communication from Mr..

from Fridsv's Daily.
Lincoln Grue, a young man residing
in North Mankato, accidentally shot
and killed his companion, Ray
mond McGrath, shortly after two
o'clock lis afternoon. The sad
and distressing tragedy occurred
in a ravine on the Nicollet
side of the Minnesota river, just OPP
posite the mouth of the Blue Earth,
and about half mile from the farm
of John Robert, the market gardner.
yt Boys Were Hunting.
From what could be learned late
this afternoon, the two boys were in
the woods hunting rabbits. They
espied hawk and started to walk
up a ravine in the hope of killing it.
McGrath was walking in the lead,
with young Grue following close be-
hind. Several times the boys fell to
the ground, but they kept on toiling
up the side of the ravine. Suddenly
the single barrelled shot gun held in
the hand of Grue was discharged and
the contents penetrated the back of
McGrath.
The wounded boy with cry fell
forward. Realizing in an instant
what had happened, Grue fastened
to the residence of Mr.. Robert and
informed that gentleman that he had
accidentally shot his companion, that
the boy was still alive, and requested
Mr. Kolbert to come to his aid
Mr.. Kolbert and his hired man,
Fritz Edel returned with Grue to the
scene of the shooting. They found
McGrath lying on the ground dead.
He had passed away while Grue was
seeking aid. Immediately upon ar
irving on the scene, Mr.. Kolbert bent
over the PROSTATE form of the boy
and felt of his pulse. There were no
signs of life Meanwhile young Grue
gave way to grief and cried pitifully
at what had happened.
Grue could not explain how the
gun was discharged. He told Mr..
Kolbert that he and McGrath were
walking up the ravine. Several times
they slipped and fell down in the
snow. His mittens became damp with
snow and ice. Suddenly the gun dis
charged.
Mr.. Edel was left to care for the
body of McGrath and Mr.. Robert
retraced his steps to his own home
for the purpose OF notifying the
proper authorities of what had hap
pened; also to inform the mothers
of the boys of the dreadful tragedy.
Chief John Donahue went to the
scene fthe accident. Coroner Mer-
rift of Nicollet county was notified of
the dreadful affair.
Dennis McGrath, father of the
dead boy, is a blacksmith and re-
sides at S07 Belgrade Avenue, North
Mankato. Lincoln Grue is the only
son of the late Ole Grue and he re-
sides with his mother at 545 Bel
grade Avenue.
Raymond McGrath was about if
teen years old and Lincoln Grue is
about the same age. Both young men
are highly spoken of.
Both boys have been companions
for years, and made frequent ex-
cursions into the woods and fields in
quest of game. The sad tragedy of
this afternoon has cast gloom over
the village of North Mankato and
the sympathy of the people goes out
to the gref-stricken mother of Lin
coin Grue and the parents of Ray.
