ARREST DUMAS WITNESS
Bartender Believed to Have Served
Drinks at Robbery Meeting.

Bemidji. = Henry Wise, the bar
tender who is presumed to have
served the drinks in the John c. Lar
son saloon here at the time DR.. D. F.
Dumas, Mike Davis, Martin Behan and
Bert Smyth are alleged to have held
their famous ''Puposky robbery" meet
ing here last June, has been taken in
charge by Sheriff Hazen on a bench
warrant
Wise was wanted as a witness by
the state at the time of the Dumas
trial here last October, and a SUBJ
poena was served on him to appear
before the grand jury which indicted
Dumas, but Wise forgot the subpoena,
or decided to ignore it, for when the
grand jury began considering the
charges against DR.. Dumas, Mike Da-
Wis and Martin Behan, Wise could not
be found. Wise reappeared in Be-
midi and was promptly taken into
custody.
Wise is now wanted as a witness in
a pending charge against DR.. Dumas,
and 1t is more than likely that he will
be subpoenaed by the government as
a witness when the federal charge
against the doctor is taken up at Fer
gus Falls.

Co... AT S1.5O PER EAR
Dan Derbys Prize Exhibits Will Be
Planted on State Land.

Minneapolis. - What is considered
by agricultural college experts as the
best 10 ears of corn ever grown and
placed on exhibit in Minnesota have
been bought by o. M Olson, director
of state demonstration farm work, to
be planted on. one of the demonstra-
ton farms this spring as foundation
stock for better seed. The 10 ears
cost Mr.. Olson just $3.50 apiece
This prize exhibit of corn was grown
by Dan Derby, farmer living nine
miles east of Pine Island, and entered
at the Pine Island short course show.
In competition with 60 other entries,
this exhibit won a $3.50 wooden silo
given by the Pine Island Better Farm
ing association as a sweepstakes prize
to $500 in prizes for various exhibits.
When sold at auction, Mr. Olson sue
ceeded in getting them for SIS, after
the sharpest bidding.
This is not the only prize that Mr..
Derby has carried home with him. At
the Kasson short course, with another
10 ears, so like the first 10 that they
could not be distinguished from them,
he won the sweepstakes prize, $65
hard coal stove, donated by two Kas-
son banks. For the best 25 ears of
corn at Kasson, he also won a $40
Jersey-Duroc pig. Mr.. Olson also
bought the 10 ear exhibit at Kasson
for SIS. The corn is a highly de-
veloped strain of Minnesota No. 13
corn, variety originated at the Min
nesota experiment station, and used
as type ear by the United State de-
partment of agriculture.

Preston.-Held prisoners two years
on their farm by their twin sons, both
of whom were demented, was the ex-
perience of M. o. Ladsten and his wife,
who live eight miles north of Mabel.
That they We're virtually in captivity
became known when Sheriff Blexrud
and four deputies went to the farm
and brought all four of the family to
this city for examination as to their
sanity.
Both sons, who are thirty years old,
were found to be demented. They
will be taken to the state hospital at
Rochester. The aged parents, who
had been completely under their
sons domination, appeared intelligent
and sound of mind. The sons were
sent to the state asylum.
Home Barred to All.
Two years ago the world was shut
out OF the home by the two sons.
None OF the family went anywhere;

Though neighbors marveled at their
strange way of living, none was so
near as to gain much insight into the
mental condition of the men and the
situation of the parents. The sons
were seen daily about the farm, al
ways seemingly melancholy and
brooding.
Cattle Are Shot.

two weeks ago, the sons, armed with
revolvers, went among their cattle,

MINISTER rs EXPELLED
Charges Against Rev. Mr.. Foster, of
Fulda, Sustained by Presbytery.

Sioux Falls, S. DAT a meeting
just held here by the Presbytery of
Sioux Falls, the former action of the
presbytery in suspending from the
church for one year Rev. Frank
Leighton Foster, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church at Fulda, Mimi, was
affirmed.
In the fall of 1910 Rev. Mr.. Foster
was tried by the Sioux Falls presby-
terry and found guilty of conduct un-
becoming minister of the gospel,
and suspended for one year, with the
privilege of producing new evidence
that might be in his favor. The pres
bytery at the first trial based it's de-
cision mainly on the decree of divorce
granted by the Supreme Court of the
State of New York to the wife of
Foster on statutory grounds.
At meeting of the Presbyterian
Synod of South Dakota, at Madison, a
few weeks ago, Mr.. Foster filed an
appeal for a new trial, on the ground
that new evidence had been discov-
cred that would clear him of all
charges. The request was granted
and the case referred back to the
Presbytery of Sioux Falls for retrial.
