The following dispatch from Fergus
Falls appeared in the Minneapolis
Journal Monday =
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Dec. 23.-
Gustave Cbristopherson has returned
from Morris, where he went to see
what could be done for his brother,
who is accused of having shot Rev.
John Killing near Donnelly last week.
He has engaged an attorney and it is
probable plea of insanity will be
entered.
Mr.. Christopherson states that his
brother makes no attempt to deny the
shooting. but cries every time he
thinks of it. He says the boy had
hitched up the team for Mr.. Kings
sons to go to town, and it being very
cold had come in to warm himself.
The old man, who was in an adjoining
room. asked him if there were not
more chores to do and began scolding
him, whereupon the lad was seized
with sudden frenzy, and picking up
a shotgun which was standing in a
corner of the room. fred through the
open door. The boy says h. did not
aim the gun at the old man. did not
see him fall and did not realize that
he had shot him, but after the shoot
ing ran out, hitched up a horse and
started toward his home in this city.
He lay down in a strawstack without
covering part of the night, not re-
alizing that it was cold. and was over
taken. the next day. He had thrown
the gun away when about five miles
from Donnelly.
my brother was doped. that is
what has been the trouble with him, I"

he went to Donnelly. about Dec. 1. a

and everything that followed that the

Easter March %.
The dates of all other movable

The Electric Short Line.

Benson Monitor Col. ". L. Luce
president of the Electric Snort Line
Company, made an address at the
Commercial Club on Wednesday even
ing. He gave a very clear outline
of the history of his company and
made statement as to what lines
they had decided to build. He said
that a permanent survey of line from
Clara City to point on the Water
town branch of the Great Northern
between Holloway and Danvers had
been made and that the line would be
built. and that the line would in all
probability be extended to Browns
Valley. He said that the company
had not made any permanent surveys
of line north of Benson, but that he
had his engineers in the neld this
year and that their reports were
very favorable. He said the country
north and south of here was an ex-
cellent field for an electric road and
that he was ready to build as soon as
he saw the people wanted it. At the
close of his address MIR. Luse answered
several questions put to him by a
number of those present. Then a
motion was made and carried unanim-
ousIy that it is the concensus of the
meeting that if an electric line is
built in this county that it should
come to Benson.
"The meeting was one OF the best
attended meetings ever held by the
club. Everyone showed keen in
terest in Col. Luce's remarks. The
colonel made very favorable impress
sion by bis straight forward manner
of talking.
Within the next few years there
is no question that one or more elec-
trio roads are going to be built
through this county and it is up to
the business men of Benson to see
that such roads enter the city. A
road passing ten miles north or south
of US would hurt the trade of this
city to very considerable extent.
'The farmers north of US are just
as anxious to have an electric line
as the farmers south of US. At a
, meeting held at Swift Falls Monday
evening the farmers told Mr.. G. A.
Itskin, representative of the COM
pany. that they were ready to bond
the townships of Camp Lake. Kerk-
hoven, Gilchrist and Rolling Forks for
$40. 900. $4,000 for each township.
There we're over one hundred farmers
present and all were enthusiastic over
the proposition. There will be no
trouble in getting the necessary sup
port up there"
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1912-12-27

From all present indications. this
road is an assured fact. The men
behind the project are conservative
capitalists, and have invested in this
road and the terminal at Minneapolis
over a million dollars. and they have
the support of the very best business
men and most conservative investors
of that city in financing this line: all
of which. together with the wonder
fully productive character of the coun-
try through which the line is to pass,
seems to indicate that it is safe in
vestment and that the road will add
materially to the DEVELOPMENT and
wealth of this and surrounding terri
tory.

PARCELS POST
Important information Concern
ing the New Law.

The attention of the public is
called to the following features of the
domestic parcels post regulations.
which go into effect January /, 1918.
That distinctive parcels post stamps
must be used on all fourth class mat
ter. be-. inning January 1. 1913. and
that such matter. bearing ordinary
postage stamps, will be "held for
postage"
That parcels will be mailable only
at postofices, branch postofices, let
tered and local named stations. and
such numbered stations, as may be
designated by the postmaster.
That all parcels must bear the re-
turn card of the sender. otherwise
they will not be accepted for mail
ing. ...
The new regulations change all
fourth class into parcels post matter.
for which the limit of weight will, in
future, be IL instead of 4 pounds !;
the length and girth of such parcels
must not, when combined. exceed
72 inches. The special stamps are
intended to enable the government
to determine the financial status of
the parcels post. and adapt charges
to receipts. The rate of postage is
materially reduced: it was formerly
one cent an ounce; after January 1st.
it will be one cent for four ounces.
and cent pound after four ounces.
The new regulations divide the United
States and Territories into about l.
300 postal districts, each of which is
sub divided into eight zones. So far
postal charges in the United States
have cen the same, regardless Of
distance: with the new law they
will vary, according to the number OF
postal zones the parcel crosses. This
means eight possible charges for each
package. By January first each post
master will have map showing the
zones and the postal rates obtaining
between them.
The following table shows the rates
by parcels post for the varying dis
tances, all calculated as air lines

Home Cures for a Cold.

A man once forgot to speak to a
Missouri mule when he wanted to
scrape the mud from the left hind
foot.
Many attended the funeral.
Another man forgot to take off his
wet shoes when he went home at
night and contracted pneumonia.
The minister remarked that the
floral offerings were "profuse.
Fooling with the left hind foot of
a Missouri mule and neglecting to

time, are equally dangerous. Both
usually pave the way for long
journey, unaccompanied. The hazard
may be removed from each with pro-
ger care. If the man had been affable
and approached the mule in a gentle

would have lived longer. If the man
with the wet shoes had removed them
when he reached home, he probably
would have avoided the subsequent
pneumonia.

Mas been set for Jan. 7th. Gustaf
Christofferson, blacksmith at Fergus
Falls and brother of the accused boy
was here last Friday and engaged j.

On Friday afternon, Olaf was taken
by the sheriff over the route of his
fight towards home in order to re.
cover the gun with which the shooting
was done and which the boy had
zthrown away. The gun was found
about IL miles north of the Killing
home, within four feet of where the
boy said it was.
The boys confession made to Coun-
ty Attorney Beise ard Sheriff
Zah! last Thursday evening has not
been made public. tho dispatches to
the city papers have it that the boy
says that Killing told him that he
was not earning his board, and that
this so angered the boy that he picked
up the old gun and shot at him thru
the door. The boy then ate his sup
per, took the gun and conveyance and
Med for his home at Fergus Falls.
The mother of the accused boy is
now Mrs. P. J. Overland, of Fergus,
having married MIR. Overland recently.
The family consists of six children,

the country school. Later he attained
the fifth grade in the Fergus Falls
schools. He has not agreed we'll witt
/ his father law. nor got along wei
Z in school and has made trouble il
other ways and this was the reason HI
happened to be in the King home.
Mr. King had arranged place sol

boy's mother in hopes that the worl
and associations there would help bin

Farming that Paws.

Chokio Review Our Medina cor
respondent called attention to sale
of hogs made by r. B. Ridgeway
which brought him $500. Just few
hogs that grew up around the place
without any special care Just think
of it; $500; probably more than the
net receipts from the entire crop on a
half section farm, which required six
or eight horses. two men and a full
line of machinery to take care of.
This $500 worth of hogs could be
raised, as well as the feed necessary
to fatten them on forty acres of land
by one man and three horses.
Mrs. o. Sudman sold to j. C.

bull for the sum of 5000. J. W.

received for the cream from nine
milkings of two cows-cnWs that are

that amounted to about thirty cents
per milking. These are just a few

FARMED AND PREACHED
John King, of DonnelIy, Led an
Active and Useful Life.

e John King. whose death on We'd
nesday. Dec. 8, shocked the whole
community, was born on farm near
Okelbo, Sweden, on Nov. 8, 1916.
He emmigrated to America when %
years old and stopped at Wahasha.
Mimi, where he worked and attended
school two winters. He came to
-sSevens county in 1872 when the
railroad extended only to Benson and
he had to make the journey from there
> y Morris on foot.
He homesteaded north of Donnelly
on section "a and began soon after
wards to build on and improve the
home he has left there.
On Oct, 9th, 1875, , he married
Hannah Peterson, to whose beautiful
character, thrift and other sterling
qualities he was most indebted.
Mr.. King has baen very successful
as farmer and besides raising a
family of six children four boys and
two girls and giving them all high
school education. he has by hard
work by erecting good buildings and
planting many trees made his farm
one of the most valuable in the coun-
ty. /--
Farming was di3couraging at first
for him as it was for others starting
at that time. Grasshoppers took all
the crops for two years and destroyed
the first planting of trees. But his
faith in this section has been well
rewarded.
Mr. king was always kind anC
loving husband and father and bore the
: lBpe and respect of all who knew him.
In later years he retired gradually
from farm work until at the time OF
his death he had given over the man
agement of the farm entirely to his
sons Emil and David. He continued
to help them however whenever al
home and an example of his interest
in the farm and the community is
shown by his building this past sum
nner modern silo on. his farm.
Mr.. King was good Christian anc
in later years his time has been taken
up with doing home missionary work
working with his sect. the Swedish
UFree Mission Society. .~ .
