Thaw Deported and Arrested.

A dispatch from Colebrook, n. H..
dated September 10, says: Harry
Thaw, murderer and fugitive from
the asylum for the criminal insane
at Matteawan, was arrested here to-
day after having been deported by
the Canadian immigration authori-
ties. Dragged fighting from the de-
tention office at Coaticook. Quebec,
early today, Thaw was deposited on
American soil in Vermont. where,
dazed by the suddenness of the
action and without the counsel of
his attorneys, he wandered aimlessly
about in an automobile hired by
newspaper reporters, crossed the
border into this state and was ar
rested by Sheriff Drew of Coos
county. The sheriff had no warrant,
but is holding Thaw as a fugitive
from Justice on Geographic request
from New York state.''

Government Report on Potatoes.

The September crop report of the

OF IMPORT TO TOWNS
Where a Small Road Tax Has Been
Voted an Emergency Tax
Should Be Levied.
Empowered to Levy Five
MllIs-Tax Would Be Avail.
able for Next Year.

Next year all road taxes are re-
Quired to be paid in money. In
most of'the towns of the state it has
been customary to vote only a small
cash road tax at the town meeting,
and in many towns no cash road tax
has been voted-the main depen-
dence has been upon the road taxes
assessed by the supervisors which
were payable in cash or in labor at
the option of the taxpayer. The
probabilities are that in many towns
there will be no money available for
road work next year unless the super
visors levy an emergency tax. Taxes
voted at the town meeting next
March will not be available until the
year following.
The author of the new road law
(chap. 235, laws of 1881 had this
contingency in mind, and paragraph
three, section 40, laws of 1913, pro-
vides that, ''After the annual town
meeting, in case of emergency, the
town board may levy a tax on the
property in its town for road and
bridge purposes in addition to the
tax, if any, voted at the annual town
meeting for road and bridge pur-
poses, in an amount not to exceed
five mills on the dollar of the as
sessed value of the property in the
town, and any tax so levied by the
town board shall forthwith be GER
titled to the county auditor for ex-
tension and collection
In a town where no road tax-or a
small road tax-has been voted the
supervisors should, without delay,
levy five mill emergency tax and
certify the same to the county audi
tor before October l. The tax so
levied will be available next year,
otherwise the town will be without
means to pay for road work during
1914.
This is an important matter and
should be attended to at once. H.

Bloom-Le Vine.

A very pretty home wedding took
place on Saturday evening, Septem-
Der 6, at the home of Rev. and Mrs.
J. A. LIE Vine in this village: when
Winnie, the daughter of Mrs. Mary
Bloom of Marine Mills, became the
bride of Theodore J. LIE Vine of St.
Croix Falls, Wis. The marriage
service was read by the groom s
father, Rev. Levine, in the presence
of number of immediate relatives
of the contracting parties, Miss Ruth
Levine, sister of the groom, play
ing the wedding march from Lohen-
grin. The only attendants were
little Ruthalie Hanson, as flower girl
and Karl Hanson, who bore the ring
in pretty white rose.
A gown of cream ratine was worn
by the bride and she carried a
shower bouquet of brides roses. The
house decorations were of roses, car-
nations and smilax.
Following wedding dinner the
bridal couple mingled with the
guests without the least hint as to
any possibility of an escape, but at
1920 an auto suddenly appeared on
the scene and in less time than can
be conceived they were gone-no one
knew where. They appeared. how
ever, few days later, with the same
suddenness as was characterized by
their departure.
The bride, whose native home is
at Marine Mills, has been employed
for several years in the dental offices
of Drs. Bloom & Dedon at Lind
strom. The groom, who halls from
St. Croix Falls, is a pharmacist by
profession, and a partner in the
fourishing firm of the LIE Vine
Blanding Drug Co. OF that place.
The couple, after visiting friends
and relatives in. different parts of
the state, will reside at St. Croix
Falls, where they will be at home
after October |.

Select Good Seed Corn Now.

By proclamation the governor has
designated the week of September
1920 as ''Seed Corn Week. The
Minnesota college of agriculture has
issued several bulletins calling the
attention of farmers to the all i'm
portance Of selecting the best corn
for seed.
Select the largest, highest yielding
ears of the best variety of corn that
will safely mature in your locality.
If large, high yielding ears are select
ed without proper care, maturity
may be sacrificed for yield. A bad
bargain! On the other hand, if very
early ears are selected for seed, yield
may be sacrificed for maturity. A
bad bargain! To avoid selecting
ears for seed that will not ripen in
the ordinary season on your farm,
select your seed ears from the stand
ing corn at the time that practically
all the corn in the field should be
mature.
One of the best places for storing
corn is all attic over a kitchen, es-
pecially if the attic is provided with
couple of windows so that good air
circulation may be secured. The
heat from the stove helps to circu-
late the air and helps dry out the
corn. 1t further helps to keep the
torn from freezing later in the fall.
Corn that is thoroughly dry is not
injured by freezing, but it is very
difficult to get corn thoroughly dry,
so it is better to protect it from
freezing if possible.

DALB0 IS SHUT OUT
Caley's Colts Demonstrate Their A9iI-
ity by Completely Vanquish-
ing the Visiting Team.
Play IS Fast AID Scrappy Throughout
and Scores Are rlade in Only
Three of the Innings.

In well-played game last Sunday
Caley's Colts shut out the Dalbo ball
tossers at the local arena by a score
of to 0. The final outcome of the
game was never very much in doubt,
as the Colts took the lead in the
early stages of the game and kept
adding to their sum total as the
game progressed, finally getting it
up to five and refusing to let any Of
the visitors register at the scoring
station.
Fulwiller was on the mound for
the local team and added one more
victory to his somewhat lengthy
string for the season. ''Fishn had
the Galbo aggregation we'll in hand
and refused to let them have single
score, third base being the farthest
north that any of the visitors could
safely work their way. They found
the local lad for three or four safe
wallops, but he kept these we'll
scattered and where they would do
the least good, and when in a pinch
worked himself out of it like a big
Lacquer. Dave Umbehocker was
back in harness again after a sum-
mer'S vacation over in the sand
dunes of Isanti county and did the
receiving for his old teammates.
"Hocker" caught good game and
his throwing to bases stopped the
Dalbo base stealing cold.
The Colts gave ''Fish" excellent
support at all times, the playing of
the in6eld being especially good.
Joe Trunk at short and C. Briggs at
second covered a lot of ground and
knocked down some hard chances
around the keystone base. Galley
covered the third station and Gunder
Hotf1ander cavorted around the in
itial bag. Both covered their respec-
tive bases in good shape and did
their share toward cinching the
game. Wicktor, Ed Maggert and
Jack Brennan performed in the sun
gardens but "Fish" refused to let
the Dalbo sluggers get the sphere
very far out of the infeld. so the out
field had very little to do in the
fielding end of the game, but Wicktor
and Maggert made up for their lack
of chances by smuggling the ball when
at bat.
The play was quick and snappy
throughout, and there were only
three innings in which any scoring
was done. Heine Plaas was at his
old stand back of the catcher and
the play went along without friction.
Lester Mallette umpired bases
to the satisfaction of the players on
both sides.

Death of Mrs. John Brown.

Mrs. John Brown died at her home
near Green lake on Monday morning
from the effects of childbirth. Rev.
Service held funeral services from
the Christian church, Wyanett, on
Tuesday afternoon and the choir of
that church sang number of hymns.
Mrs. Brown was Al years old and,
besides her husband, leaves nine
children-the child born at her
death being still living. The occur
renee was indeed a sad one, and
heartfelt sympathy goes out to the
afflicted family.

Bettering the Roads Benefits Everybody

We are ga)d to note that the
Unions advice, relative to strawing
some of the roads leading into the
village and the approaches to the
fair grounds, has been acted upon.
The Union wants good roads every
where, and especially in the vicinity
Of Princeton. By next fair time we
hope every road leading into Prince
ton will be greatly improved. The
Union proposes to keep hammering
away on the subject of road-improve-
ment. Business men and farmers
alike are beginning to realize as they
never have before the Importance of
good roads. A town that is desti-
tute of good or fairly passable roads
cannot prosper. Better roads mean
saving of time and money to the
farmers, more business for the mer-
chants and manufacturers and more
pleasure for all who travel them.

STOLEN TEAM FOUND
August EichmiIler of Onamia Let a
Livery Rig to Stranger Who
Failed to Come Back.
Team Found at a Grandy Livery Stable
Il
but the Horse Thief Had Left
for Parts Unknown.

Along about the 23rd ult. a
stranger, who gave his name as
Charles Thomas and who claimed to
hail from Tennessee, put in an ap-
pearance at Onamia and pretended
to be in search of land upon which
to locate. He was shown around by
land men at Onamia and finally de-
termined to purchase a small tract.
He went to the depot to telegraph
to tennessee for money, but changed
his mind and concluded to write.
Then: on the 25th ult., he secured a
livery team from August Eichmiller.
ostensibly to go to Milaca and pur-
chase team of his own. A couple
of days passed and, Thomas failing
to show up, Mr.. Eichmil]er became
uneasy about his team and came to
Milaca to investigate. There he
discovered that Thomas had headed
south toward Princeton. But Mr..
Eichmiller could find no trace Of
Thomas or the team. Sheriff
Shockley was informed and he had
several hundred postal cards, de-
scribing Thomas and the team,
printed at the Union office and he
mailed them broadcast. Then the
sheriff and Mr.. Eichmiller started
for Minneapolis, and all along the
route were informed that a team,
answering the description of the one
they were searching for, had passed
through several days before, The
sales barns in Minneapolis and St.
Paul were visited but there was
nothing doing.
A day or two later the sheriff
went to Isanti and from there to St.
Francis. then on to Elk River. UP
the railroad track to St. Cloud and
back to Princeton, only to find he
was on false trail.
On the 3rd inst. Sheriff Shockley
received word from Sheriff Johnson
at Cambridge that team answering
the description set forth in the
postal gcard was then and had been
for week, in livery stable at
Grandy, a little railroad town north
of Cambridge. The sheriff and Mr..
Eichmiller went there last Thus
day and, sure enough, found the
long lost buckskins.
1t appears that Thomas had
driven across country from Milaca
to Grandy. There he offered to
trade or sell the team to livery
man. But the livery man was sus-
picious and did not care to buy or
trade until he had examined the
horses by daylight. Before morning
Thomas, evidently scenting trouble,
lit out for parts unknown.
The horses were a little gaunt
after their long and cruel drive,
probably without food or drink,
from Onamia to Grandy, a distance
of probably IS miles, but otherwise
they were none the worse for their
rough experience.
The next stranger that gets a
livery team from Mr.. Eichmiller
will have to present a certificate of
character and an indemnifying bond.
