 The circus came and went. It did not attract as large crowd as circuses usually do here, which, We take it Is an Indication of unrest caused by crop conditions, and the lack of ready cash among the people generally. The Joilh Robinson aggregation presented very good clean show here. and those who did go. were quite well pleased. The street parade was a biz feature and was gorgeous with parti, coiored trappings for the horses and other animals that were driven in iine, and uniforms and raiment of the men and women. There was no incident, so far as we have learned. to mar the serenity and happiness of the occasion.

John Helgheim Of Lansing Resists All
officers-BarricadesH His Own
Homo to All.
Lansing, April 6-The quiet little
city on the banks of the Mississippi
is likely to become as famous spot
as Is Cameron Dam. While it hasn't
it's John Deitz it has it's John Helg-
helm and so far Helgheim is holding
his home against all corners. Sheriff
Swebakken has been over from Wau-
kon several times to arrest Helgheim
but every time the latter will not
permit him to enter his home or get
near enough to put his hands on him.
Helghim Ices alone and has barra-
raded himself and all that he knows
of the outside world and all the out
side world knows OF him they get
through the window No one, no mat
ter what his errand is, is permitted
entrance to the home. This has been
the condition for three weeks. Here
tofore Helgheim associated among his
friends but it is said that of late some
thing has turned up and he believes
that an attempt has been made to
deal unjustly with him and he will not
permit the sheriff or anyone else to
arrest him. Sheriff Swebakken abso-
lutely refused to state what he wants
Helgheim for. There ia quite little
mystery connected with this AFFAIR
which the people of Lansing are anx.
Gus to solve.
