BROUGHT IN WEINKOPH
From fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
William Weinkoph, farmer liv.
ing near Vernon Center, was brought
to this city last night by Deputy
Sheriff Ed Ario to appear in the
justice shop at the city hall on a
drunkenness charge.
Weinkoph was recently arrested
for being drunk and his case contin-
ued until yesterday. Out of large
sum of money he had in his posses
sion, SIS was held at the police
station for his appearance. When
he did not show up yesterday after
noon, Judge Comstock had the deputy
sheriff go to Vernon Center for him.
Weinkopn evidently had no inten-
ton of appearing in court as he had
promised, for the harvest fields
awaited him. Hence he wrote a
classical letter to Chief of Police
Donahue as follows:
Dear Sir:-I let you no dat |
Rodent kom to morrow, so let it
go to about Monday da 26 of August.
Yours truly, William Weinkoph."
The letter was addressed to "Po-
lice Tonahue." When arraigned last
night, Weinkoph pleaded guilty and
was fined SIS and costs or total of
$24.65. Weinkoph, it will be remem-
bered, was the person who tried to
break everything within reach when
locked up in the city jail. His raw
ings were heard half a block away

INSPECT A STATE ROAD
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
County Commissioner Wendell Ho-
dapp and County Surveyor H. w.
Daniels, accompanied by Judge Henry
Mol, made trip of inspection, over
the bluff road to Mankato, officially
known as state highway No. 2, last
Monday, says The st. Peter Herald.
Last winter the board of county COM
missoners appropriated the sum of
$1,000 for widening and improving
this road, but the appropriation has
been exhausted in providing for
drainage. AS it's first expenditure
the board purchased $40 worth of
drain tile, and this has been laid
across the road in fifty-three differ
ent places. Naturally there are no
funds left for grading and crawling,
but the road is being widened in a
number of places. In making ample
provision for drainage the county
board is going about the task it has
set itself in the best possible way.
With solid foundation, the grading
and graveling can be done from
time to time, and the Improvements
will then be of permanent charac.
ter. When the drive shall have been
completed it will be one of the most
beautiful in Minnesota.

MARK WAS IN COURT

Owatonna, August 23.-Anton Mark
was arraigned before Judge Durham
In the municipal court Thursday
morning on the charge of having
caused the death of his infant son.
Mark was hard prisoner to deal
with. He assumed an air of injured
innocence and helpless ignorance, re-
fused to employ lawyer and de-
cilned TO make plea of any kind.
He advanced the theory that the
child had met it's death by being
accidentally smothered in feather
bed and declared he didn't know
why anyone should swear out a com.
plant charging him with murder.
FINALLY when it became evident
that Mark would not make a plea of
guilty, or not guilty, the court en-.
tered plea of not guilty for him.
and then held him to the grand Jury.
MARK Will doubtless lie in Jail until
the district court takes up his case.
as 1t is not likely that anyone will
come forward with bail for him.
The county attorneys office is in
vestigating information to the effect
that Mark had, at least three
months ago, declared his intention
of killing the child. If this can he
established, conviction murder in
the first degree is reasonably Ger.
tain from all that has so far deycl
oped in the case.

CONRAD PLEAD GUILTY

Owatonna, August 23.-Fred Con.
rad, caught red-handed in the act of
burglarizing the store at Anderson,
was arraigned before Judge Durham
in the municipal court and pleaded
guilty to the charge of burglary in
the third degree. He requested the
county attorney to prepare for him a
petition to the district court to at
once pronounce sentence, doubtless
to the reformatory, so that he may
begin serving his term in prison.
Conrad says that he realized from
the first that he stood no chance to
escape punishment When Chief
Casey appeared on the scene to take
him in charge, Conrad promptly
showed out his hands for the hand
cuffs, showing that he had been
there before.
T. M. Anderson, who made the
capture from his home nearby saw
Conrad breaking into the store Mr..
Anderson grabbed gun and, as re-
lated, caught Conrad with the
goods right in the store.

Will SEM EAGLE LAKE

Deputy Game Warden Con John
ston and Joseph E. Williams return
ed last evening from Elysian. Mr..
Williams did the SEEMING at Lake
Washington last year. He stated
that the commissioners have closed
several of the lakes, prohibiting peo-
pie from seining. Fish are scarce
in some of the lakes. Mr. Williams
has leased Lake Balentine and Eagle
lake for seining purposes and sells
fish to the larger markets. Among
the lakes closed for SEEMING are
Madison, Francis, Tetonka and
Washington.
"The fishing for pike and the finer
fish has been better this year than
1t has been in many years past"
said Mr.. Williams, owing to the
amount of carp and coarse fish taken
by SEEMING. Some people have the
mistaken idea that the act of sein-
ing a lake destroys the spawn be.
cause the seines are dragged over
the spawn beds. This idea is wrong
as the seining is not done during
the spawning season."

SIGN OVER THEIR CLAIM

Winnebago Enterprise: Hundreds
of depositors have signed over their
claims against the State Bank of
Commerce to the committee named in
our last issue. In fact, so many
have signed, and so much money is
represented by the signers, that it
is safe to say that the plan will un-
doubtedly go through. Men of good
judgment say that it is entirely feas-
ible. The people are anxious to see
the bank reopened for business, and
will be satisfied with nothing short
of that. The committee is a capa-
BILE one, and is composed of men
who will work hard, earnestly and
conscientiously for the benefit of all
concerned.

PESTS IN GRAIN BINS.
Must Be Killed Before Storage Of

few cents worth of carbon bisul-
phide will kill the insects hiding in the
cracks of your bins waiting for the
new grain. Insects injurious to stored
grains, says G. A Dean. a bug spe
cialist at the Kansas Agricultural col
lege, work so vigorously that the farm
er must either kill them, dispose Of
his grain or sit still AMI allow them to
damage it. Killing these pests before
the grain is stored prevents much dam
age in the fall and winter. he says.
Dust. dirt, rubbish, refuse grain, -four
and meal serve as breeding places for
these pests. Fresh grain should not
be exposed to attack by being placed
with the old which already is infest-
ed. Throw this out. Unless the old
grain was badly infested with any one
of the four or five common injurious
insects it may not be necessary to
fumigate now, but a thorough clean
ing of the floor, walls and ceiling
should not be neglected. To avoid in
festation in the stack the grain should
be thraShod as soon after harvesting

Beware OF Buying Orchards Out
OF Fruit Zone

Orchard exploiters are doing serious
damage to fruit raising in north Wis
consin by selling to innocent purchasers
so called fruit lands, which are SO far
from the protecting influence of Lake
Superior that damage is frequently
caused by frosts in August. The in
tiuence of the lake tempers the climate
five or six miles inland making this
strip along the lake shore and most of
upper Bayfield, peninsula, as well as the
islands, most valuable fruit country.
But beyond the protected zone is a
great deal of territory which is being
sold as fruit land but which cannot
bear fruit. Prof. Sanders of the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin, who recently spoke before
the State Horticultural Society at Bay
field, was delighted with the fruit he
saw there, but thinks the climatic
limits should be widely known.
