KEPT AS PRISONERS
Aged Couple at Mabel Restrained by
insane Sons.

Preston.-Held prisoners two years
on their farm by their twin sons, both
of whom were demented, was the ex-
perience of NJ o. Ladsten and his wife,
who live eight miles north of Mabel.
That they were 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,
We're 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. IL
Two years ago the world was shut
out of the home by the two sons.
None OF the family went anywhere;
no persons were allowed to approach
the house. Obsessed of the idea that
they were under command not to sell
and of the products Of the farm or
their property, or to buy anything,
they had not threshed their grain in
two seasons, nor had they bought
-four, coffee or any other of the COM
mon necessaries of the household.
They ground their own cornmeal and
subsisted on eggs, milk and other prod
ucts that they had raised ''<'' ' -
Though neighbors marveled at their
strange way of living, none was so
near az 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.
The climax came, however, when
two weeks ago, the sons, armed with
revolvers, went among their cattle,
deliberately shot and killed fifteen
head, dragged the carcasses to a part
of the farm farthest distant from the
house, and left them there. Asked
why they did SO, they declared they
had no right to sell the cattle. Then
the authorities were appealed to and
took action.

TWO DEAD IN GAS EXPLOSION
FARM HOME NEAR KENYON.
MINI, CATCHES FIRE. d
Cold Causes Acetyiene Generator to
rs Leak, Resulting In Fatal
Accident.

=. a. . e 80 '-slf b. . . .,E-
Keny on.-Alma and Ly1a Milde-
brandt, aged seven and fourteen, re-
spectively, were instantly killed, and
two brothers and sister, ranging be-.
tween che ages of and IL years, were
seriously injured when a gas gener-
ator exploded in the home of their par
ents, setting fire to the house. All
were children Of John w. Hildebrandt,
farmer living seven miles from here.
MIR. Hildebrandt and wife and two ba-
bies were visiting in Pennington at
the time Of the accident and the old
est girl was left in charge of the
household.
1t is thought the extreme cold of
the last few days affected the gener-
ator of the acetylene" lighting system
and resulted in the tragedy. Neigh
bors were quickly summoned by the
only child to escape uninjured, but by
the time they arrived upon the scene
the farmhouse was a sheet of flames
and the injured children and the bod
les of the two girl victims were gotten
out with difficulty. As quickly as pos
sible the injured children were brought
to town and were attended by Doc
tors Gates and Bake, who pronounced
them in critical condition. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hildebrandt were notified as
soon as they could be communicated
with and they will arrive here early
today. -. 49,. 10 49,. .,r

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

ton farms this spring as foundation

miles east of Pine Island, and entered
at. the Pine Island short course show.
In competition with go other entries,
this exhibit won a $3.50 wooden silo
given by the Pine Island Better Farm
ing association as sweepstakes prize
to 5000 in prizes for various exhibits.
When sold at auction, Mr.. Olson sue
ceeded in getting them for $16, 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 80 like the first 10, that they
could not be distinguished from them,
he won the sweepstakes prize, a SIS
hard coal stove. donated by two Kas.
son banks. For the best Is ears of
corn at, Kasson, he also won $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 a type ear by the United State de.
partment of agriculture. ,m

The Gyldendal publishing house in
Copenhagen is putting up stin and
very ably conducted fight for a control
of the book trade in Norway. The
company has almost monopolized the,
Danish market, and now 1t ID reaching
out for that Of Norway. AZ might be
expected, the Danes are very hostile
to the language reform movement in
Norway, the aim Of that movement
being to replace the present Danish
Norwegian book language by con-
solidation of Norwegian dialects.
But the Gyldendal company in its
present struggle for supremacy in Nor
way, does not hesitate to publish the
rankest Norwegian dialect books
placed on the market The leader Of
the campaign in Norway is conduct
ed by Lars Swanstrom, Swede, who
is married to a niece of Bjornstjerne
Bjornson. So far the company has
been quite successful. One OF its most
recent victories was the publication
of great work by Prof. Yngvar Mel
sen on 1.-THE History of Norwegian
Shipping" The main reason why 30
many Norwegian writer's have their
works published by Danish concern
is, that such course enables them to
sell so many more books in Denmark.

THREE DIE IN FIRE
Home Of Ole ANDERSON Is Burned at
Yucatan.

La Crosse, Wisconsin. - Three. of
a family are dead, one fatally and
two seriously injured as result of
fire in the dwelling of Ole ANDERSON,

Z years; Onga ANDERSON, aged 10
years.
The injured: Ole ANDERSON, in crit
ical condition; Albert ANDERSON, arm
cut. bruised and burned, and Mrs. Ole
ANDERSON, head face and hands severe
ly burned.
Three of the family had gone to bed
for the night while the rest remained
in the kitchen by the fire. 1t was 20
below zero outside.
Startled by shrek, the father saw
his son, Adolph leap from the STAIR
way followed by cloud of smoke and
flames. A moment later he was fol-
lowed by his brother. The mother and
father made heroic efforts to rescue
the other children and the grandfather,
but the fire had made such rapid prog.
ress they failed, and had to be held by
the other children to prevent them 60
ing to their own death in the burning
home. Ole ANDERSON was so badly in
jured and burned he will probably die.
while the mother was seriously injur-
ed. The origin of the fire is mystery.
The injured were brought to the
Lutheran hospital here. ~ II. -.

er of nine children the eldest of

Relief was procured for the mother
and children, and the father, who was
