SchOolma'a ANS Have Left ia.

Most of the schoolma 'ams left for
their respective homes last Saturday
and they can we'll feel proud of the
work which they performed during the
term. With the exception of six they
have been re-engaged, some at slight
ly advanced salaries, for another
term. The six who will not return
have declined a re-engagement for
various reasons getting married,
attending universities, etc. The
school board has not yet selected
teachers to take their places. Super
intendent Marshall has been re.
engaged at salary of 81, 620 per an.

BOND ISSUE CARRIES
At Special Election on Tuesday the
Electors Vote to Bond Village
in the Sum of $40, 900.
Amount Will Be Obtained From State
and Used to Liquidate Floating
Indebtedness of Village.

A special election for the purpose
of voting on the proposition to bond
the village of Princeton in the sum OF
$4,000 to refund the floating indebted
ness was held on Tuesday. Ninety
eight ballots were cast in favor OF
the proposition and 81 against-a
total of l3l.
The light vote shows that but little
interest was manifested in the propo-
sition, but the fact that it carried
should accrue to the advantage OF
the village, which can now proceed to
borrow money from the state at low
rate of interest to pay off it's floating
Indebtedness and return the same in
installments as provided by law.

Had a Narrow Escane

Mr.. Grierson and Oscar Wikeen,
who, with others, we're sojourning at
L. N. Berg's, Green lake, last Friday,
had narrow escape from being
drowned, as we'll as young lady &C.
cupant Of the boat The night was a
particularly sultry one and the three
put out from shore in the boat for the
purpose of getting a little breeze.
They rowed close to shore but storm
came up suddenly and they found it
impossible to return despite their
most strenuous efforts. The wind
whistled and the occupants of the boat
yelled for help, but in that hurricane
no one on shore could hear them-the
craft, tossing and quivering, sped
before the wind. The oars, upon
which Grierson and Wikeen had been
straining to keep the boat out of the
trough, began to show signs of weak
ness and one of them snapped in two.
Suddenly the boat swung around into
the trough and was at the com plete
mercy of the pillows. Big waves
came over the sides and there was no
pail or can on board to bale with
neither did either of them have hat.
On and on went the boat, rocking and
creaking and fast filling with water,
while the occupants could do nothing
but pray and trust to luck. Sudden

she went down, down, down, in four
feet of water! Grierson pitched head
foremost over one side and Wikeen on
top of him, but the girl held onto the
gunwale and went down with the boat.
The two men gained their feet and,
after splitting out large quantities OF
mud and weeds took hold of the girls
hands, and the three waded toward a

Archie Jones Married,

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. O. M.
Warner in this village on Sunday
afternoon their daughter, Norma
Rhoda, was united in marriage to
Archie M. Jones, formerly of this
place but now of Lowry, MINI. Rev.
I. N. Goodell of the Methodist church
read the words which made them man
and wife. The ceremony was per-
formed beneath a floral canopy
erected in the parlor of the home, and
the guests we're the immediate rela-
tives and few friends. The best
man was Eldon Jones, brother of the
groom, and the bridesmaid, Mrs.
Eldon Jones, while Mrs. Otto Radeke
played the wedding march and Mrs.
Lee Jones sang, Glove, I Adore
Thee.'
A gown of white Lansdowne with
overlace was worn by the bride and
she carried a nosegay of roses. The
bridesmaid was dressed in white

The wedding supper, which followed
the ceremony, was served by four of
the young ladies from F. T. Kettel-

Misses Lou START, Mamie Frederick

Mr.. and Mrs. Jones departed on

Closes q Splendid Work.


Hamline university of this state,
probably more than any other insti-
tuition of learning in this country,

STORY IS UNF0UNDED
Mile Laos Settlers Are Accused of
Burning an Indian Village and
Ill-Treating Aged Chief.
County Commissioner SWenues and
Engineer Chapman Say There
is No Truth to Story.

News has reached here that the
Chippewa Indian village at Wigwam
bay, on the west shore of Mile Laos
lake, has been completely destroyed
by fire. It consisted of a frame
house and number of wigwams and
log cabins. The Indians were away
from home at the time their village
was burned and they attribute it's
destruction to incendiaries.
A Brainerd dispatch to a Min
neapo]is paper is to the effect
that an old chief of the Chip
pewas living on the east side of
the lake was strapped to a tree and
his wigwam and all his belongings
burned to the ground in front of his
very eyes. While the tears coursed
down his cheeks and he begged for
pity the fire ate up his home.
Assistant State Engineer r. S.
Chapman was in the vicinity of Vine
land several days last week, and
heard of the destruction of the group
of Indian tepees and shanties, but no
one intimated to him that the fire was
Of incendiary origin. There we're
only few Indian families at Wigwam
bay and they never gave the white
settlers any trouble. The fire was
undoubtedly accidental.
The wierd story of an old Indian
being strapped to a tree and his
effects burned before his eyes is pure
ly imaginary. DR.. O. S. Swennes of
Wahkon, county commissioner from
the lake district, says if anything of
the kind had happened be certainly
would have heard of it, and be left
home on Tuesday.
The settlers around Mile Laos lake
are not savages and they have never
dealt harshly with the Indians. There
is no land left for the Indians at Mile
Laos and it would be far better for
them if they we're to join their
brethren at White Earth where they
would be comfortably cared for by
the government and could in time be-
come self-supporting and indepen-
dent. It is estimated that there are
about 300 Chippewas in the vicinity of
Mile Laos lake.

procity while the opposition comes
from the farmers, who are fearful it
will reduce the price of grain and
have tendency to decrease land
values. If these fears should prove
true, the situation would be extremely
embarrassing to the Taft men, but if,
on the contrary, Canadian reciprocity
should prove success, as the Taft
men think it will, then they will have
acquired a powerful argument in their
favor.
