What Three Cents Did. /.

A little boy about six years old
rushed into store in Trenton and
asked If they kept those stamps that
had the picture of Santa Claus on.
The clerk said: eyes, my boy, we do;
how many would you like to have?'
The little boy look earnestly into the
clerks face and asked: "How much
are they?" The clerk answered that
they were only cent apiece. The
child looked joyfully around and said,
II heard my mama say how the mon
ey was to help the poor sick people
that had consumption. I've only got
three cents, but I want to help them
by buying stamps"
He received his three Red Cross
Seals and left the store, proud to
think that he had perhaps helped some
boys father who had that terrible
disease.

Back again in Martinez, Judge
Ware showed his pearl to Under

FERGUS FALLS HAS FIGHT
Mayor Reverses Himself and Alder.
manic Contest Seems Likely to
Reach the Courts.

Fergus Falls. - An aldermanic con-
test that is likely to reach the courts
has been started here. Alderman J.
G. Meyer resigned three months ago
and under the charter the city coun-
Gil is empowered to elect his sue
cessor. The council submitted the
question to the voters of the ward in
formally at bond election held about
that time, and e. T. Nelson had
large majority of the popular vote.
At the next meeting of the council
four of the aldermen voted for Mr..
Nelson, while three voted for the de-
feated candidate. The mayor ruled
that the council consisted of eight
members, as the charter says that an
alderman shall hold Office until his
successor is elected, and that five
were necessary to elect. The same
vote was taken on two or three other
occasions with the same ruling.
At later meeting one of the al
dermen who had voted for Nelson on
one or two previous occasions, joined
the three who had voted against him,
and four votes were cast for Fred K.
Hodgson. The mayor announced that
he had changed his mind about five
being necessary to elect, and declared
Mr.. Hodgson duly elected.
Nelson's friends say the mayor
changed his mind because Mr.. Hodg-
sons political views agree with his.

from the Minneapolis Better Way:
"a neighboring farmer having large

through his field the other day in
quest of enough roasting ears for his
Sunday dinner. His search resulted
in only few aRrs, which were taken
to the house and duly prepared. The
corn, having been removed from the
cob, was placed in a dish and graced
the center of the table. Now the

corn was passed te him first, as a

claimed: Stop right there, young
man; you already have fifteen acres

MURDER AND ASSAULT CASES
Jury Acquits the Slayer of Two Men
Believe Defendants
Story.

Grand Rapids.-District court here
has been busy with cases involving
murder and assault charges. The
first was that of the state against
Louis Nocovitch, accused of murder
ing Mike and Steve Vokobrotovitch
at Keewatin in April.
It was alleged he went down the
road from the Wranich boarding
house with them and when on the
road turned and fired, killing them
both. A fourth man was with them
and he testified this was all there
was to the matter. The prisoner said
the two jumped upon him, one TAX
ing him by the throat and the other
grabbing him by the shoulder and
hitting him.
At the same time one of them said
Give us your money or we will kill
you The defendant said he was
frightened and turned and fired, kill.
ing both. The jury believed his story
and freed him.
The second case to be tried was the
state against Julius Blackus, accused
of assaulting Charles Johnson, fore,
man of the Bennett mine at Keewa'
tin, on the evening of Aug. 27. He
asserted self-defense and the jury
acquitted him. 1t appeared in the
evidence that the plaintiff did the as
saulting. The jury made record
breaking decision, returning verdict
of mot guilty" in four minutes.
Mike Fairbanks, Chippewa Indian
of Rena, who was accused of Illegally
killing a deer on the reservation last
fall, was tried and acquitted. He
shot the deer and did not deny it
H. w. Warren, who is in charge OF
Indian affairs at Bena, testified that
the defendant was an Indian and the
court then held that he was not
amenable to the state game law.

VIRUS may SPREAD CHOLERA
IMPROPER VACCINATION HELD
CAUSE IN SWINE HERDS.
Danger In "virus" From Infected
Hogs, Says Minnesota
Bulletin.

Minneapolis. - Startling statements
in the official bulletin on hog cholera
issued by the extension division of
the university's department of agri-
culture have new interest in connec-
ton with the recent declaration by
James J. Hill that hog cholera pos
sibly was being spread by the very
treatment given to prevent it. The
bulletin states: l
"A herd may be infected by i'm
proper vaccination methods, and in
stead of immunizing the hogs it may
actually infect them with cholera, if
not carefully and judiciously used.''
And again,
1.-THE experiment station will not
furnish virus with serum unless a
veterinarian from the station or from
the state live stock sanitary board is
going to use it, because of the posi-
bility and danger of causing the dis
ease when used by inexperienced per-
sons"
The two terms are explained by
the university as follows:
virus and Serum"
Hog cholera serum is the clot-free
blood obtained from hog that has
been rendered very highly immune
against cholera by one of several
methods now in use 1t takes from
one to two months to work a hog
up to the point where the blood will
contain enough protective substances
so that when a small amount of it is
injected into another hog the latter
will be rendered immune.
Virus is blood drawn from a hog
that is very sick with cholera and
about to die. 1t is virulent or dis
ease-producing blood and contains
the actual living germs of cholera and
must be handled cautiously
Of the circumstances when serum
only should be used, and those when
both serum and virus should be, the
bulletin states:
well hogs may be treated (vacci-
nated) with hog cholera serum so that
they will not take the disease if ex-
posed later. Such treatment is called
immuniZation. We advise sim
gle treatment (serum only for herds
recently infected. From experience
we have learned that it is not a good
plan to use serum in herds where the
disease has prevailed for long time,
or where a large part of the hogs
have died, and where many others are
sick.
THE double method Cloth serum
and virus injections) may be used in
herds in which cholera has just ap-
peared, or in healthy herds in a To-
cality where cholera has made it's
appearance"

MURDER ADDED TO ROBBERY
BODY IN BEMIDJI, MIMI, MoRGUE
MAY BE BANDIT.
Belief Is Two Fugitives Slew Part
ner and Took
Loot.

Bemidji.-The most brutal murder,
Sheriff Andrew Johnson of Bemidji
believes, has been added to the list
of crimes of two of the three robbers
who held up the $500 ticket agent
and baggageman and escaped with ST.
500 last Tuesday at Thief River Falls.
In the coronor's room here lies the
body of man with a bullet-pierced
brain. The body of the man, who
clearly was murdered, was found be-
tween Pinewood and Scribner on the
800" line, 68 miles southeast of Thief
River Falls and IL miles from Be-
midi
A complete robbery kit, consisting OF
IA keys, file, leather pouch containing
cartridges, necktie bearing the trade
mark of Minneapolis firm, and a
small note book on the first blank
page of which was written, Anthony
Comstock NJ, S. w." were among the
things found in the dead mans clothes.
The decedent answers the general
description of one of the three rob-
bers sent out from Thief River Falls
a week ago in that he is 5 feet inches
tall, weighs about $50 pounds, had
brown eyes and was wearing dark
gray coat. A request for detectives
working near Thief River Falls to
come to Bemidji to attempt to iden-
tify the body as one of the robbers
was wired.
The dead man was about so years
old, had soft hands, was bald On the
crown of his head, straight, unbrushed
hair; wore clean, new overalls, coat
and vest over blue and white striped
sweater, and over wooden sox of a
good grade, pair of black shoes too
light for laboring man or one &C.
customed to walking the ties.
A bullet hole, around the center
of which black powder had burned a
circle one inch in diameter, in the
middle of the forehead, told the meth,
cd of his death.

arrest there in connection with the
