covers three acres. The first stone In
the foundation was laid July Z, 1859,
and on the 24th of June, 1871, h COR

by the Grand Lodge OF Free n Ac-

occupied by the Legislature on Janu-

a superb reflection of French architec-

State Architect Ware issued a state

would be about $1,000. 900, exclusive of
the valuable records in the State Ii

AUTO BUFFALO HUNT
PRESENT STYLE BEATS THAT OF
THE EARLY DAYS.
Lone Bison Escapes From Farm Near
Minneapolis, and Charges School
House - Posses In Automo-
blles Chase Animal.

Minneapolis, Minn.-The screams OF
school children barricaded in a dis
trict school seven miles from Anoka
prevented a charge through a window
OF the building by the crazed buffalo
that escaped from James j. Hill's
farm, 20 miles away, and gave the
clue to the whereabouts of the beast
that led to its death.
Reporters ascertained in their chase
of the animal that it really is a full
grown American bison. In an auto
mobile the reporters began the hunt
for an animal now almost extinct.
Even the skeptical people of the
country. who secuted the first reports
of farmers who we're terrorized by
sight of the beast, were convinced
that 1t really was a buffalo.
Early in the day the countryside
was reused and the chase renewed.
After an exciting hunt the animal was
located In the heavy timber a quarter
of mile from Barney Monion's place
on the state road. County Attorney
H. Pratt and Lee Giddings left the au-
tomobile in which they had been pur-
suing the beast and hastily entered
the timber tract. On the other side
of the woodland Pratt made out the
creature dashing through a field Of
stubble. Though 1t was long shot
Pratt fired. This was followed by a
volley from Giddings, and together the
men hastened in the direction of the
clearings. A trail of blood was found
and another glimpse through the
farther thickets showed that the ami
NAL was hampered in his rapid fight
by slight limp. Later in the day the
buffalo was shot and killed by the
posse.
