Louisville, Ky.-Recent exploration
has revealed new wonders in the IA

among which is a beautiful Violet

that further exploration now in prog

too weak to analyze the words beyond
the fact that they carried the dread

Who. would have come to him but

What consciousness was left in him

NO POLITICS FOR JIM.
Former Congressman Tawney Says
He Has No Plans.

Winona. Former Congressman
James A. Tawney of Winona has no
intention of entering law partner
ship with Attorney General Simpson
at Minneapolis, and at this time he is
not setting his lines with the idea of
regaining a seat in Congress-. He
says there is absolutely no truth in
the rumors to that effect, which found
their way into print in the Twin Cities
during his visit there last week.
II have not seen George Simpson
since my return from Congress, and
the first I heard about the proposed
law partnership was when my atten.
ton was called to an article in a Twin
City paper while in Minneapolis" said
the former congressman today.
There is absolutely no truth in that
report, and have not the least idea
where it originated"
Mr.. Tawney declared the talk that
he was looking longingly upon a
promised berth if the reapportion-
ment bill giving Minnesota another
congressman is passed by Congress,
is the concoction of an imaginative
mind. He said he is not now in pol
itics and has made no plans to get
back. He said that when the time
comes, if it ever does, when he seeks
favors from the voters he will tell
the people what he wants.

INDIANS TRickED; NO REDRESS.
Cannot Hold Title to Lands They En-
tered Near Kellogg.

tive Anderson is interesting himself
in establishing the status of about 30
Chippewa Indians resident in the vi
cinity of Wabasha. Mimi, who were
recently induced by Minnesota at
torney to enter upon public lands near
Kellogg, which it is now claimed can
not be delivered to them by the gov.
eminent.
In March, 1909, congress passed .
law designed to permit Indians who
had not previously benefited through
the allotment of Indian Lands on res
ervations to secure, through settle.
ment, other public lands outside Of
reservations. This law was not IA
vored by the interior department, and
was repealed in June of last year.
The month after it's repeal the attor-
ney in question induced two Indians
to make claim to about "a quarter Sec
tons near Kellogg, and collected from
them liberal fees for his part in the
supposed acquisition of the lands. It
is not believed that the Indians can
prove any claim whatever, and since
there appears to be no way of secur-
ing redress from the attorney who
took their fees it is feared they will
undergo considerable loss.

Residents Of Viking, Victimized by
Alleged Clever Thief.

horses that, have been sold here by
horse thief during the past weeks.
About two years ago man named
Carter purchased quarter section of
land near Viking. Only short time

of horses, buggies and harness, saying
he had brought them from his Dakota
farm. He began to sell them and in
little while had them all converted
into cash, when he departed for parts
unknown.
The eyes of the purchasers were
opened a few days ago when North
Dakota man came over and claimed
them, saying they were stolen in his
home state. The sheriff has been
busy since collecting them, but no
trace has been found of Carter.

is in session the city of Rochester
will be the defendant in three suits.
The Laird-Norton Lumber company

versy having arisen over the legality
of the contract, which has held up

The heirs of N. F. Gilman, deceased,
an old resident of the city, have start
ed an action for $4,000 damages
against Rochester as is alleged that

SAVES FATHER FROM MAD BULL,
With Pitchfork son conquers III
furiated Animal.

Notwithstanding with pitch
fork as a weapon, John Stribbe, the
son of William Stribbe of Pennington
township, saved his father from a
torturing death by an Infatuated bull.
The elder Stribbe was repairing a
fence on the farm, when the bull
made for him, striking him with full
force and telling him. Before he
could gain his feet the bull was on
top of him madly paving him with
his feet and striking him with his
horns.
John Stribbe, who was short dis
lance away, heard the screams of his
father and made all haste to the
scene. --->,-
Unmindful of any danger to him
self, the young man used his weapon
to good advantage and within short
time had the animal conquered and
his father saved. The elder Stride
had his clothes practically torn from
him and also sustained a fracture of
one rib.

TAKEN TO PRISON.
Walker Man Didnt@ApprecIate Kind
ness Of Judge Stanton.

Walker Wells, whose little
joke with the Judge kept him out of
prison for time, was taken to Still
water as a result Of his hilarity over
his freedom. Wells was in the coun.
ty Jail, charged with being with drunk
en- Indians and with aiding them in
securing liquor.
At Judge Stanton was going through
the jail Wells courteously asked him
II he had ever heard the song entitled
Have a Little Pity" Next day, when
brought into district court, Wells
pleaded guilty as indicted and the
judge gave him his freedom with a
six-month suspended sentence tied
to 1t.
Wells then went to Cass Lake and
commenced to celebrate. He changed
his tune from "Have Little Pity" to
"A Hot Time in the Old Town." and
ended up in the Cass Lake Jail while
he was a member of the chorus.
Judge Stanton was notified and forth
with instructed the deputy sheriff to
take Wells back to Walker. From
here he was taken to Saltwater to
commence that six months sentence.
