An Irish Answer.

WINTER BEGUN.
Severe Blizzard Begins on Nov.
10th.

The temperature on Sunday broke
the record for the earliest 5 deg. below
weather in November in the past
twentysix years. A severe blizzard
visited this section the latter part of
last week, evidently as part of the
destructive storms and severe weather
which extended over the whole coun-
try.
Friday was cold with some wind
and some snow and by Saturday a
severe blizzard was raging which con-
tinued thruout the day. BY Sunday
the storm had abated somewhat, but
the temperature fell to 5 degrees be-
low zero, the earliest date in Novem-
ber when such low temperature has
been recorded.
Saturdays blizzard was as severe
as blizzard in midwinter. the wind
being high, and the mercury around
the zero mark. Most of the time it
was impossible to see more than a
few PAGES.
The storm caused considerable in
convenience, as many were not pre-
pared for the severe weather. Every
one who could remained as much as
possible indoors for the day.
Near Herman, a party of four who
were crossing the Great Northern rail-
way track. were struck by the fast
mail and one Victor M. Anderson. was
seriously injured and has since died.
The diver took great precautions be-
fore crossing the track, but it was i'm
possible to see or hear the approaching
train in the storm.

An Example Of Stern Bravado.

For stern bravado, says the United

rival the feat of Ensign Gillis, who
saw stray torpedo coming slowly,
but surely. toward the anchored tor
pedo boat Porter in the Spanish
American war. He sprang overheard.
turned the nose of the torpedo in a
safer direction and screwed up the fir

operate. Then. treading water. he

Gillis actually did so. swimming with

CUT IN FIGHT
Stabbed During Row With
SIavs at Maurer.

Two sons of Principal Charles

and scalp wounds as the result, 1t Is
alleged. of molesting some Slavs on
bicycles yesterday afternoon. Otto
Dietz has a stab wound over a rib,

Otto Dietz and this morning was
given the alternative of paying a hne
OF $50 or spending ninety days. IN
the county jail. Recorder Henry w.
Kehoe and the police have learned
that the Dietz boys have a bad rec
ord and therefore, they claim, they
deserve every beating they get. The
court announced 1t would have dis
charged Moor but for the fact that
he had used a knife. The police are
searching for the man who hit
Charles Dietz, Jr., with a stone.
Police Find Witnesses.
Patrolmen L. G. Jensen, William
T. Hartmann and Nels Tonnesen
rushed to Maurer after word of the
stabbing had been received In this
city. They investigated and arrived
at the conclusion that the Dietz boys
were themselves responsible for the
attack. Witnesses were found to
prove this. The officers were told by
residents OF Maurer that the Dietz
boys were the terrors of that section
and that they moleSted people afoot,
on bicycles and in vehicles.
Injured Boys Not Present.
Neither of the injured Dfetz boys
appeared In court at the hearing
given Moor this morning. One OF
their brothers, together with August
Stedman and a few other boys, APP

bicycles past public school No. 3
when some boys caused one Of them
to be hit with a stick. A little while
later one of the foreigners came out
of his h0me and thsss4s
The boys declare he drew a revolver.
This caused the Dietz members with.
their friends to retreat. Some time.
later q number of foreigners came
after them and In the melee the
~stabbing and hitting occurred.
Prisoner Denias Usir- Knife.
In court this morning Moor denied
using a knife. Testimony from Otto
Dietz, through Patrolman l.. G. Jen-

trary. He agreed to pay the fine in
preference to going to Jail. DR.. G..
