The state law of Wisconsin
says that, if a certain number of
citizens in a neighborhood re-
quests that a public school build
ing be opened and heated and
lighted on a certain evening for
an entertainment of a reputable
sort, the school building shall
be opened and prepared
The "shalr' is imperative on
the school board or the superin-
tendent of schools. In WiScon-
sin they call a school a social cen
ter.
There isn't any worry in the
Hobbs household about the de-
posts in the state bank. Federal
banks fail, now and then, in Wis
conSin but the state banking laws
are so fair and unfailing that the
state banks have increased in
number from Us to 533 since
1895 and the deposits in that time
have increased 534 per cent and
there hasn't been a single failure
of a state bank.
Its some fun to live in Wiscon-
sin. In most other cities when
the gas gets poor and the rates
are too high, or when street cars
are so crowded or so scarce that
you'd rather walk, about all YOU
can do is to write a letter to q
newspaper about it and sign it

inning with two base hit, and
Merkle sent him home with a two

went to third on Herzog's sacrifice,
but was caught between third and
home when Meyers drove the ball
at Zimmerman. Meyers then at

THE RUSSELL CON-
TEST IN FIGURES.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 5.-Which Dan?
Is Fresno Dam of Fresno, Cal. or
Dakota Dan" of Dickinson. N. D.
the son of Daniel Russell, deceased,
late of Melrose, Mass. aG
This question is soon TO be decided
by the supreme court of Middlesex
county, sitting at East Cambridge,
Mass, just over the Charles River
from Boston, and on the decision
hangs the disposition of $500, 900 be-
quest by the elder RUSSELL
It is an interesting story. How in
1885 Daniel Blake Russell, son of
Daniel Russell, Sr.. ran away from
home and went west He had had
trouble with his father, and on leav-
ing Melrose he dropped strangely out
of sight. .
The years rolled by. The elder Rus
sell amassed more and more of a
fortune, and when early in 1907 he
passed away he left behind him a
million dollars. He had not forgot
ten Danny, for in his will drawn in
1897, was found this passage:
MY son, Daniel Blake Russell left
home some twelve years since and if
he should return and prove his identity
within twenty years after my .decease
it is my earnest wish, request and
hope that my son William share with
Daniel equally and justly whatever of
my estate he may hold at the time
Daniel returns" .s ..,..
William, it should be explained, was
the only child the elder Russell had
besides Dan. .t. IL

BABE WAS
STRANGLED
To Death
Grewsome Horror in Fargo
Hotel Last Night
Couple Evidently Deliberately
Murdered Babe
CORONER SAYS
CHILD MURDERED.

Coroner Mitchell came UP from
Mapleton this morning to hold an
inquest on the body of the infant
found dead in the Northern hotel,
and after impaneling a Jury had
the body examined by physicians.
I'VE have no hesitancy In saying
that the child was murdered"
said the coroner, land we arrived
at this conclusion without q post
mortem, from the fact that the
marks of the handkerchief which
were found on it's neck were plain
ly visible and that the cloth was
fairly imbedded in it's neck. In
case the parties are caught it will
be no trouble whatever to prove
that the infant, which was about
three months old was murdered.
Charles Nystrom, proprietor of
the Great Northern hotel. went to
Wahpeton on the authority of the
sheriff to Identify a couple regis
tered at the Merchants hotel at
that place last night after the ar
rival Of the train from Fargo. His
trip was without results, as the
couple proved not to be the same
as the two who registered at the
Great Northern hotel here.
Deputy Sheriff Bingham has no.
titled the police departments Of
Minneapolis, st. Paul, st. Cloud,
Graceville and other cities where
these people might have stopped.
This afternoon a ccroner's jury
was impaneled, consisting of c. J.
Grettum, Simon Fraser and Nels
P. Pherson. An adjournment was
taken until a later date.
1t was reported to Chief Keefe
this afternoon that young couple

The body of a three months old in
fant was found behind a dresser in
one of the rooms at the Great North
ern hotel last night about 10 o'clock
by Proprietor Nystrom soon after the
occupants of the chamber had left the
place for the station where the south
bound train was boarded.
Registering as Mr.. and Mrs. William
J. Brown of Westboro, Wis, a young
couple entered the hotel last night
about 0 o'clock and asked for room
until train time as the woman wanted
to rest. They carried with them an
infant. .
At train time they took hurried
departure from the hotel and the fact
that neither the man. or woman car
ried the child escaped unnotjced. A
second or two after they had gone
someone in the hotel office remembered
seeing the child in the woman's arms
as the couple came in. An inyestiGa-
tion was at once made Of the room
they had occupied and behind the
dresser the body of the infant was
found.
The police officers at the G. n. sta
ton were at once notified. Mr.. Nys-
from rushed over to the train where
the train was still standing on the
tracks. In his excitement and eager
ness to locate an officer he forgot to
notify the conductor and the train
pulled out before either the man OF
woman were caught.
The woman was thought to be about
Is years Of age and the man about %
years old. The authorities at Wahpe-
ton were telegraphed to Immediately
and a couple answering the descrip-
ton, were held there.
This is probably one of the most
grewsome horrors reported in the
criminal annals of Fargo. Around the
infants neck WAS tightly drawn
handkerchief. 1t was strangled tc
death. The body was still warm when
found by the hotel proprietor
