GUNDERsoN GETS THIRTY DAYS

John Gunderson wa0 xested yes
terday on a warrant sw@ 4ut by w.
G. Schroeder who claimo anderson
had made threat against 4 heder's
life. He was tried in municipal court
this morning before Judge Crowell
and was sentenced to thirty days in
the county Jail as he was unable to
furnish $500 bond. ~.
The trouble seemed to have started
over the amount of wages Gunderson
received after several months en-
ployment on the Schroeder farm. Mr..
Schroeder stated in court this morn
ing that an agreement had been
reached and the two had parted as
friends but later Gunderson became
intoxicated and while talking to Hans
Sand, clerk for Schroeder stated
that he would take Mr.. Schroeder
life and commit suicide if he did not
receive the wages he claimed he had
coming. re...@s -@@<+. -
Gunderson appears to have q rather
shady record as he has served two
years in the st. Cloud reformatory
for an Offense which he committed in
st. Paul. Mr.. Schroeder asked the
court to place the defendant under a
higher bond but as he was unable to
secure the $500 it was not raised.

THE new APP0RTl0NMENT
.Beltrami County Put in Sixth District
Instead Of Eighth as Originally !.
** :" Planned. =, N
L1NDBERGH IS CON REssMAN


Beltrami county is now. in the Sixth
Minnesota congressional district in:
stead Of the Ninth. The change was
made during the final session of the
legislature when the congressional
reapportionment bill was passed. The
original bill had placed Beltrami
county in the Eighth district. Con
gresham Lindbergh, Republican and
a Progressive, Of Little Falls, is at
present congressman from the Sixth
Several changes were made during
the closing hours of the session. Con-
gressmen Davis, Hammond and Stew
ems are the only members of the Min
nesota delegation affected to any ex-
tent. Congressman Stevens cam
paigns in the future will be easier, as
his political fences are now confined
to Ramsey county. Chisago county has
been placed in the new Tenth dist
riot, while Washington county is
added to the Third district now rep
resented by Congressman Davis.
Congressman Hammond's chances
may be endangered by the addition
to the Second district of two strong
Republican counties, Redwood and
Lincoln. Senator Clague is suppos ed
to have ambitions to contest the seat
With Hammond
James H. Manahan, congressman
at-large, probably will move. to H EN-

JUDGE HOLLAND 3 DEAD.
Accidentally Shot Himself in Brain
erd While Examining an Auto
matte Revolver. IL
WAS, WELL KNOWN IN BEM1DJl

Brainerd, April 25.-Judge G. w.
Holland, of Brainerd, accidentally
shot and killed himself in his office
here Wednesday. He was shot at
1920 Wednesday and died at 1880
the same afternoon, about two hours
later.
Judge Holland intended driving in
to the country, and he had ordered a
rig. Before noon he got his automa-
tic revolver to clean it, as he intend
ed to take the weapon with him when
he went driving. In cleaning the
weapon it is probable that the mech
anism stuck in some way and five
shots were discharged in rapid sue
cession.
Two bullets entered Judge Hol-
lands body and one struck just below
the heart. Three bullets entered the
wall. When A. D. Polk, whose Office
was next to Judge Hollands rushed
in after hearing the shots, he found
the judge lying on the floor groan-
ing. Judge Holland said: II was ex-
aiming the revolver when it went
off accidentally" '~.'
Judge Holland was well known
throughout the state, and especially
in thic coofioD H. woo i,,dro If tho
district court of the Fifteenth judic-
ial district some fifteen years ago. He
had just celebrated his seventy-fourth
birthday. Judge Holland was a veal
thy man, owning valuable mining
properties around Brainerd. He was
rated as millionaire. 49,.

Editor News.


AS my mind is in a
reminicent mood, and thinking
perhaps some of my boyhood
friends would like to hear from
this part of the world, l will try
and tell them somethingeof Okla
homa, and especially Blackwell.
In the first place we have all
the natural gas we can use for
lighting and heating, and for the
use of factories of every kind.
There seems to be no limit to the
supply. 1t is very nice to get up
in the morning and light your
fire in the stove or heater and
then pay no more attention to it
during the day, and there is no
smoke, no ashes and no cinders
to contend with. The gas has
attracted factories from all over
the country. We have already
contracted with two glass facto-
ries ana a woven wire factory to
locate here, and they will employ
over 500 men. Others are going
to locate here, and it looks like
we are going to grow from a
town of $500 to a city twice that
size or even greater.
Last year we built a high school
building that cost $65, 900 and it
is a beauty and up-to-date in ev-
cry particular. We also builded
a fine Ward building costing

centuries by the patriots of old sac
rtf1ce1 and lost.
"Old"? Yes We have passed the
meridian Of life, approaching that
period when nature says to man:
Your end is not far distant; the sands
in the hour glass are slowly running
out; the future of another life un-
known and uncertain faces you. We
think we can hear the voice of de-
Earted democrats speaking thus: At
your maturity and in the dark days
Of reconstruction, yourself and COM
rades used your best efforts to sus-
tain a sincere democracy and do not
now in the closing hour Of your des-
tiny desert the standard of the party
that gave to mar the right OF free
thought, freedom of action and the
privilege of saying whether the people
shall rule or confine their welfare and
security into the hands OF three.
Briefly after the civil war our city
and &: were in the throes Of a
crisis sword OF a military satrap
hung our heads and ruled us; the
doctr Of state sovereignty was
threatened on all sides; every depart
ment of government was filed by a
nOrQe oE SCdV6uSefS VINO pT6y6u upon
the unfortunate: the situation was rife
with riots, and hope for the democracy
almost lost, when the old democrats
of the war threw themselves into the
vortex and risked their lives and for
tunes 10 stem the current that i'm
periled the safety of the democracy.
We will appeal ot Mr.. Walker, who
characterlzes this movement as pro-
gressive, arc sacrifices TO be repaid by
ingratitude? Shall party fealty and
loyalty 10 the great fundamental prin-
c!ples Of government by the people, be
supplanted by one Of an arbitrary
forecast?
Now, my friend, put aside your at
tempt to be humorous, lay down your
weapon Of ridicule, take up that of
gravity, and say frankly, to the peo-
pie, are you democrat, and believe
in the teachings of a true democracy
which provides for a government by
the people and not by one of a trium-
virate?

regards as an almost perfect system
A young man, wishing to get married
writes in describing the sort Of a wife
he would like to have. The minister
then goes over his lists and picks
half dozen prospects" in the young
mans community answering nearest
to the description given. These names
he sends to the matrimonially inclined
young man. The minister makes il
clear, however. that he does not
guarantee the character Of any of his
prospects. He tells each applicant to
be sure and look into this point be-
fore he takes any steps that will be
beyond recalling.
Not Doing Their Duty.
The young men of this country are
not doing their duty" says the minis
ter, and a whole lot of young women
are not doing theirs either. But I am
sure there are hundreds and thou
sands who would be glad to get mar
ried if they knew just where to look.
The present strenuous life of the city

marriage. I'm going to put stop

Get these people together. Here's
a girl in a town who would like to
marry, but she has not been asked.
And here's a man in a city who would
like to meet that girl, but he don't
know where to look for her.
It's the greatest tragedy Of this
age-this single life men and women
are leading"
DIR. Savidge believes that he is go
ing to be instrumental in placing" a
large number of factory girls. "One
girl at the head of a home is worth
forty working in a factory" says he.
I'D take every girl out of every fac
tory in the land and put her in q
home if could" says he. They don't
belong in factories. That's where men
belong"
When DR.. Savidge started in ths
work Of matching nates' it took
only a short part of his time. Sue
cess crowned his efforts, however. and
that accounts for his taking a down.
town office and bring an assistant and
a secretary.

Strawberries Are
Getting Ripe.

Reports come IN from q dozen DIFF
ferent points IN Florida that straw
berries are getting ripe and that some
Of this luscious and popular fruit was
gathered during the latter weeks Of
January. In only few instances
were there enough ripe berries to per-
nit of shipments to markets to the
north of US. Should the February
weather be as mild as January. great
quantities OF berries will be sent out
OF the state during the month.
Ripe peaches have been reported
in several counties in middle Florida.
OF course 1t is understood these were
not a part of the regular crop but
were the result of a desultory bloom
in October. The fact Is mentioned to
show the wonderful possibilities of the
Florida climate.
It is no vain boasting to say that
West Florida is better adapted to
peaches than Georgia and here the
fruit natures weeks earlier.
The possibilities of Florida are as
great as they are wonderful and sur
