months were finally landed at New
York October Oath. They continued
their trip by steamer to Albany; by
rail to Buffalo; by steamer to De-
troit; by rail to Chicago; then again
by steamer to Green Bay, Wis. This
last boat proved a very poor one, and
the voyage was perilous one. They
finally arrived at their destination at
Waupaca, Wis, November Goth. In
this vicinity the family lived for five
years. In 1857 they determined to
go to the Territory Of Minnesota to
find future home. A claim was TAX
en- near St. Peter, where they re-
NAMED about two years. The loca-
ton did not quite suit them, however,
and in the summer Of 1858 Mr.. Lar
son, in company with some others,
made trip up into Monongalia
county. They were favorably i'm
pressed with the locality, and in the
following summer the family moved
there and settled on a claim near

Gruesome Discoveries.

when near Twin lakes, a coat was
found with bullet hole through it.
In a pocket Of the coat was found a
letter addressed to Ole Olson (Hau-
gem, one Of the settlers Of the vicin-
ity. The company searched the tim
Der and brush for the body. They
finally found the remains floating up
on the water Of West Twin lake. He
had been shot through the breast, and
had stuffed grass between his shirt
and body in the hope Of staying the
flow Of blood. It is assumed that he
had made his way to the water in
order to seek relief from his suffer
ing, and had expired there. It's fur
ther assumed that he was upon his
way from his claim in section 80 Of
what is now Dovre township to the
post Office at Burdick's place, for the
purpose Of getting his mail, when he
was oyertaken by the Indians. The
remains were. buried upon the lake

was stormy, and the settlers stopped
at a schoolhouse near Clearwater,
where shelter was found for the wo-
men and children inside Of the build
ing and for the men and boys under
the same upon the sand. On reach
ing Clearwater the next day it. was
decided to proceed to St. Cloud. They
had gone but a short distance when
they met mounted man, hatless and
with gun in hand, gesticulating
wildly and shouting for them to turn
back. He said St. Cloud was being
destroyed by fire, and the inhabitants
were either massacred or had fled.
The man was plainly demented, for
when he reached Clearwater he jump

| After some hesitation Louis Lar
son was sent to scout and learn the
true situation at St. Cloud, as the
settlers were slow to believe that that
town had been taken. He found the
place safe as yet from any attack
from the Indians, but the inhabitants
were very much wrought up over the
events Of the foregoing days, and
were making active preparations fol
defense. The Nest Lake settlers ar
rived in St. Cloud without further in

noitering he announced that there
was a large number Of Indians ahead.
He ordered his men to prepare for an
attack, proceed cautiously, and with
the help Of God" kill as many Of the
enemy as possible before they them
selves should fall. It proved false
alarm, as the smoking camp fires
which the captain had seen were sim
ply what remained Of the last camp
Of the Indians seen the day before.
The carcasses and remains Of cattle,
hogs and chickens were strewn about
the camp. y
After proceeding short distance
there was another alarm. This time
the captain had discovered two In
dams sure, and plans were made to
secure their scalps without fail. The
supposed Indians proved to be two
large sand hill cranes, whose move
ments in the tall grass had deceived
the captain.

WIGGLlNG OF EARS BY BOY
Sign of Donkey Traits, Says Instructor of Chicago School-Violates Law
 of Science.

Chicago.--Another prized accom- plishment of childhood has been drowned upon by science. No longer will the boy who can wigwag his ears arouse envy In the hearts of his school chums.
 J. Howard Moore, instructor of ZOO logy at the Crane Technical high school, who spoke before the Young Peoples Socialist league the other night, placed the ban on the f1ip-f1ap- ping by declaring such an action was violating a law of science and mere ly giving strength to tendencies oper- ating against his proper evolution.
 Translated into schoolboy English. MT. Moores tabooing of one of the time honored amusements Of the schoolroom means that such an accom- plishment points to traits in the pos session of the wager which usually belong to the donkey.
 Man was once a wild animal and contended unarmed with other ami malls for food and life. And so long as he was on an equal footing in the battle for life he had need of his ears.

RoCHEFoRT'S VIEWS ON LOVE
Famous Journalist Notes Tragic Way
In Which II Is Manifested In
France Today.

Henri Rochefort, the French Journal.
list who is becoming quite a moraiist
in his old age, has given vent to some
personal comments on love.
Love is being practiced in an orig
inal manner in France today" he says.
"A young man loves a girl and to
prove the intensity of his affections he
puts a bullet or two into her head
and then blows out his brains"
Various examples of these tragic
amours have been given US within the
last few days. A boy of nineteen
thus disposed OF himself and a girl OF
thirteen.
Then a dragon stationed at Tours
came to Paris for a similar exploit. He
was deeply In love with Suzanne. Su-
zanne is dying with two bullets in her
head. The dragon is already dead.
Excepting his passion the dragon had
all the qualities OF good soldier.
The latest tragedy centers around a
baker and two girls who worked In
the shop he was employed. The baker.
1t seems. loved both, and each Of the
damsels loved him. His solution of
this perplexing situation was sanguin-
airy. He killed them both and then
pierced his heart with a huge broad
knife.

The best that 0'Rear can do is to

he will keep them in session two
years at an expense of over $1,000
