Then she looked obviously at the hat.
With girls instinct, her first
thought was for her borrowed lumage.
A fine mist was slanting down and
had fretted the window pane until
there was nothing visible but dull gray
shadows Of the world that Jew mo-
notonously by. With sudden remem-
brance, she opened the suitcase and
took out the folded black hat, shook
tt into shape, and put It on. It was
mannish, Of course. but girls often
wore such hats.
A. she surveyed herself in the long
mirror Of her door. the Glow color stole
into her cheeks. Yet the costume was
not unbecoming, nor unusual. She
looked like Q simple school girl, or .
young business woman going to her
days work.
But she looked at the fashionable
proportions Of the other hat with some
thing like alarm. How could she PRO-
tect It! She did not for q moment
think Of abandoning It, for it was her
earnest desire to return It at once.

She summoned the newsboy and pur.

made . large package Of the hat. She
decided to 60 bareheaded, and put the
white kid gloves In the suitcase. but
she took of her beautiful rings, and
hid them safely inside her dress.
She sacrificed one Of her precious

LONG PENDING DEAL CLOSED
After IA Years Estate Pays $4,000
for Mining Land Originally
Offered for $1,000.

Duluth.-A long-pending deal was
closed when the estate of Peter Kim,
berly of Sharon, Pa, paid over to w.
T. Bailey 100000 for five acres in Vir,
ginia on the Mesaba range.
Peter Kimberly left an estate esti-
mated at $11,000,OOO, the great bulk
of which was accumulated from min,
ing operation on the Mesaba. One
of his transactions was with the Inter,
state Iron company Zones e Laugh
linz, and involved the transfer of forty
acres at the edge of the city of Vir,
ginia. Mr.. Bailey owned five acres.
That was fourteen years ago. Bailey
asked $1,000 for his land and the
price was accepted, but Kimberly neg,
lected to pay. Bailey met him in
Chicago a year later and the mining
man again promised to pay. A year
passed and the men met again. The
conversation was the same as before.
Bailey advanced the price to 100000
and Kimberly agreed. Soon after
Kimberly died.
The last time that Mr.. Bailey gave
an option to the administrator of the
Kimberly estate it was for $4,000 or
to advance $1,000 a month until the
deal was closed. 1t was thirty-two
months before the estate paid and
Bailey receives 100000 and interest
for the property.

M|NNESOTAFARMER
KILLED IN BOX GAR
SHOT DOWN WHILE TURNING
OVER MONEY TO HOLDUP-
SUSPECT ARRESTED.
BIRD ISLAND SCENE OF CRIME
The Two Farm Hands Who Were
With Murdered Man Identified
Suspect in Gen.
eraI Way.

Bird Island.-William Olson, thresh-
erman and farmer who lived near
Hector, in this county, was murdered
here at about $3.50. The shooting was
done by stranger in the railway
yards, and Olson died in half an hour.
Olson and two of his threshers came
to Bird Island and were in saloons
until midnight when they went to the
station and entered box car, intend
ing to remain there until the arrival
OF the morning passenger, upon which
they intended to return home. At
$3.50 a stranger appeared at the door
OF the car and pointing a revolver at
them, ordered them to give up their
money. Olson's companions had com.
piled with the demand, and Olson was
also in the act of turning over what
cash he had when the stranger opened
fire, shooting Olson twice through the
body.
The murderer ran west toward
Olivia and the marshal of that place
was notified and arrested suspect
who was trying to get on the blind
baggage OF the morning passenger
train. The suspect is about 35 years
OF age and is roughly dressed and ap-
pears to be tramp. He denies all
responsibility for the shooting, but
readily confessed that he held up and
robbed blacksmith at Renville
earlier in the evening. The officials
believe they have the murderer and
the suspects readiness to admit the
lesser crime while denying the greater
strengthens them in their opinion
The two farm hands who were with
Olson were taken to Olivia to confront
the suspect and in general way
Identified him. Olson was about 80
years of E and had lived in the vic
unity of tor many years. The
coroner is ere to hold an inquest.

State Newse General Interest
ORGANIZE TO FIGHT CHOLERA
Select Committee in oImsted County
to Lead Campaign Against
Disease.

Rochester.-Olmsted county farmers
have banded together to take radical
steps t" stop the further spread of hog
choler~ in this county. At meeting
In this city committee consisting of
Frank Domke, William Mccoy and
William Haling was named to lead in
the campaign against the epidemic and
through them efforts will be made to
secure as much serum for vaccination
purposes as possible. 1t is estimated
that the loss already to farmers in
the county will amount to thousands
of dollars, several farmers reporting
the loss of from fifty to two hundred
head of hogs. The situation is con-
sidered critical and all steps possible
will be taken to check further spread.
Marshall.-Hog cholera seems to be
general and many hogs are dying
every day. 1t is estimated that much
of the corn will yield from SO to 70
bushels to the acre and many of the
farmers had nice bunch of shoats
ready to feed. Hundreds of Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri and Iowa farmers
have visited this section and many
have either purchased or rented farms.
Hector.-An epidemic of hog chol-
era has broken out in this locality.
Fifteen or twenty herds are affected.
o. M. Kiser of the associated schools
has held meetings in the different dis
tricts and has been inocculating all
herds where there was any indications
of sickness. The serum treatment has
been a decided success in this county.

LIFTS A TUG OUT OF WATER
Huge Whale Tries to Wreck Vessel,
Then Chases 1t for Half
Mile.

Baltimore, Md.-To have their YES
sci lifted three feet out of the water
and to be later chased over half a
mile by an 80-foot whale was the ex-
perience Of Capt. L. M. Smith and crew
of the seagoing tug Defiance, which
reached port the other day from the
Virginia capes.
Captain Smith says the incident oc-
Cured at one o'clock in the afternoon.
while the tug was cruising between
Cape Henry and False cape, off the
Virginia seacoast.
II was lying in my berth at the time
and Mate Jack Reese was at the
Wheel" said Captain Smith, when all
Of sudden the bow of the tug rose
In the air and dropped with a plunge
and terrific roll. When l reached
the deck Mate Reese was trying to
steady the vessel, which was still roll
ing, and when he recovered his voice,
said that he had ran over whale.
Standing in the pilot house, we
watched the whale, which turned
around and followed the tug for at
least half a mile, then headed toward
the beach as II fatally hurt. While
the whale was following the tug it
lifted about two-thirds of its body out
of the water. The fin, huge flukes and
almost the entire head were in plain
view"
