to the loss of his home. Agents knew
when his pension came, and would
come up to the little shop in Twelfth
street to display their goods. James

greet that we have been unable to carry
reciprocity, which I still believe would
have promoted the material advance
ment of Canada and would have pro-
noted the growing friendship between
the United States and Great Britain.
However, the country has spoken.
We must bow to the inevitable, and
cheerfully do so.
Robert Laird Borden, leader of the
conservatives-In rejecting reciproci-
ty Canada has expressed her faith in
the development of Canada which she
has pursued for many years. The
government, without mandate from the
people, undertook to reverse that
policy, and, upon submitting it's
action to the people, was defeated.
The verdict was in no wise dictated
by any spirit of unfriendliness to the
great neighboring republic. No such
spirit exists. It is my conception
that friendly relations can best be
maintained if each country preserves
complete and entire control over it's
own tariff and enters into no en-
tangling agreements which might i'm
pair and affect that control.

The Anoka County Murder.

Up to this time the hired man,
"Jim," who brutally assaulted and
murdered Mrs. Amelia Bolton and
shot to death her cousin, F. r.
Rhodes, on farm in Linwood town
ship, Anoka county, has succeeded IN
evading arrest. Several suspects
have been gathered in at various
places but all of them succeeded in
proving an alibi when confronted by
detectives.
Anoka county has had several SEN
sational murder cases, but the one ir
Linwood township stands alone fol
cold-b looded elaboration. The black
guard who committed the tragedy was
given work on the farm out of pure
charity and then deliberately muir
dered his benefactors. No stone
should be left unturned to ferret hin
out of his hiding place and confn'
him where he will have no opportuni
ty of committing other atrocities. I
seems peculiar that he has for so long
succeeded in covering up his tracks.

GIRL HELD AS CAPTIVE.
Shocking Case of Brutality Revealed
by Officers.

San Bernardino. Cal, Aug. IA
15-month search for Jessie Mcdonald,
a 2O-year-old high school girl, ended
early this morning wheL the police
broke into the offices of A. w. Nc
David, a dentist. They found the girl
huddled in a corner of the room with
a baby at her breast.
Miss Mcdonald was clothed in rag
ged garments and wasted almost to a
skeleton. She told the officers she had
been kept prisoner more than a year
in a small apartment adjoining the
dentists office. McDavid who is mar
ried, was arrested.
Miss Mcdonald said she had been
held in subjection by McDavid through
hypnotic influence and rad undergone
great suffering. Almost in the same
breath she said she loved McDavid.
The district attorney, Mr.. Goodsell,
said that only at night, and then close
ly yelled, would McDavid allow her to
leave the apartment On those occa-
sions he would take her buggy riding
in the outskirts of the city.
The child was born four months ago.
For days at a time the inzart has been
Miss McDonald's only companion while
the dentist was out of town or with his
wife and family. De- -ectives had
searched throughout the state for Miss
Mcdonald.
