DUPLICATE BOYS


Pipestone, Mimi, Jan. GA pecu-
liar case involving the remarkable re.
semblance of two boys has been brought
to light in connection with a search
that is being made for a lad named
Fisch, who ran away from the home of
J. G.. Edwards near Estherville, last
November.
Young Fisch left home to attend a
picture show in Spencer He left
his horse on the street and when be
went to get it he found that the ro-
lice officer Of the town had put it in
a barn. This frightened him and he
left Spencer for parts unknown.
A few days ago a boy appeared at
the home of Ed Haley and asked for
work. Mr.. Haley, believing that the
youth was tho Fisch boy, notified the
authorities in Iowa and Sheriff George
Wheatley secured a description of the
Fisch boy, which included several dis
tinctiye sears, one on the forehead,
another on the right knee and still an
other on the right leg, The sheriff
then went to the Haley farm and found
the boy there bore all of the scars, but
gave his name as Leroy Yates and
maintained he had never lived near
Esthelville ur knew of the Edwards
family.
Sheriff Wheatley was convinced,
however, he had the right boy ard
upon promise of buying the youth a
new suit of clothes il he would ac-
company him to Rock Rapids, the lad
was taken to the Iowa town where
Mr.. Edwards was called to identify
him.
Declaring that the Yates boy was
almost a duplicate of the Fisch boy,
as to age, weight, the scars which he
carried, and even to a small mole at
the left corner Of the mouth, Edwards
stated that the boy in custody was not
young Fisch, and Sheriff Wheatley,
keeping his promise, gave the boy
money to purchase a new suit of
clothes.

SILKEN BONDS
Of Love How a Spider Wove
a Romance

Kansas City, Jan. 24.-"During a
~sojourn at Brussels" writes Elizabeth
Parkina, the Kansas City singer, II
observed in the hotel dining room two
persons, II apparently a wealthy
young Welshman, the other an English
girl, who bore the appearance of a gov
erness. The Welshman and the gov
erness sat at opposite tables for about
two weeks and, to my almost certain
knowledge, never spoke.
81 went to Paris, but returned
within a week and was surprised to
see the Welshman enjoying the So
cietY of the gOyerness. Out of great
curiosity l hazarded an inquiry and re-
ceiyed the astonishing information
that the strange couple had become
b%etrothed. The governess told me
that n day, following my departure,
she was sitting in the garden at the
rear of the hotel, employing her time
in making lace. Presently the Welsh
man came into the garden, took a
chair not far from her and began
reading. The man read and the Eng
lish girl made lace for fully an hour.
Both were aroused at the same mo-
ment and beheld, to their utter amaze
ment, that a spider mad woven its
web between them. One end of the
web attached TO the ri Int shoulder of
the Welshman, the other end to tue
left shoulder of tue gOyerness.
There was a simultaneous laugh,
then a serious contemplation The
man was superstijious. as was the
woman and, regarding the incident AS
"a good omen, he proposed marriage

OF STERLING
News Received in Washington
Crawford VIII Pound
Reactionaries

Washington, Jan. 24.-Thst the
fight In South nakora between the pro
gressive elements on the one hand and
tie republican reactionaries on the
other is going to be marked by plain
speaking, by calling things by their
right names from this time on, was
emphasized by Senator Crawford on the
arrival of the news fiom Pierre of the
election of Sterling. Senator Craw-
ford, deeply pleased over the election
of Dean Sterling, is much stirred rp
at the attempted treachery to the pri.
mary principle. of which certain Of
the reactionaries were guilty.
Senator Crawford said:
81 shall not hesitate to say in public
that every republican member of the
legislature who gave his pledge to
support the choice of the primary
and failed to keep that pledge in the
legislature, SO far as | am concerned,
will be charged anywhere and every
where with having been disloyal to
the people of the state and guilty OF
treachery.
OF the election of Dean Sterling,
he said:
The election of Sterling is a fine
thing and / am pleased over it. Sterl-
ing is of the calibei of a upited States
senator. He made a manly, straight
forward campaign as a progressive re-
publican and / am satisfied he will
make a record here that will be a
creditable one"
The election of Sterling is a hard
blow to Senator Gamble, who returned
here this week after making an ineffec-
tive attempt to organize sufficient force
In the legislature to beat him. That
the outcome is the political death blow
to Senator Gamble is fully realized
here.
Information reaching here is that the
determined attempt to beat Sterling
was a good deal more than a South Da-
kota fight. 1t was part and parcel of
an effort the special interests are
making all over the country to defeat
the election of men of progressive he
lief, no matter to what part they be-
long. That powerful corporation in
~tiuences were working deep under the
surface in the South Dakota situation

Hnron-W. j. Hotchkiss, who own
a farm north Of Alpena. in this coun
ty, has discovered gold bearing ore OF
his land, which he has submitted t.
the South Dakota State School o.
Mines for examination. The report
returned him stated that the ore con.
tains % ounces of gold aud a trace OF
silver. This gives Ii a value of 40 cents
a ton. MIR. Hotehkiss is mining in a
small way, and states that he has
reasons for believing that he has moi
reached the best dirt yet, and that ii
will go as high as Fl TO 50 a ton.
Veblen- Farmers in the vicinity oil
this town have already purchased
$50. 900 worth Of bonds in the p,o.
posed railroad to run from Veblen to
Fairnont, N. ID. The bonds are to
be secured by second mortgage on the
railroad. The proposition of the pro-
motors requires the sale of $3.50. 600
worth of bonds to the farmers along the
proposed road. and the residents of
Veblen. and the bonds have been taken
at the rate of s., 900 a day since the
sale vf the paper was started. and
there will be no apparent difficulty in
disposing of the entire issue. The resi-
dents of Ve6len are enthusi astic over
the prospects for securing a railroad.

As neither was arrested the names of
the parties implicated in the affair have
not been made public. The woman had
heen missing coal from her bin for
sor1e time, and suspected that a Ger

ed up the alleged guilty individual and
attacked him before a crowd of thirty
or forty persons. 1t is alleged the

The State circuit court will convene

THE SUBJECT

THE SUBJECT
That the subject of the cost
of living is being discussed
broadcast cannot be denied.
The humble laborer discusses
with his better-half the
cheaper cuts of meats and the
cost of the different grades of
groceries. Society women
have taken steps to see that
the poorer classes receive
their "daily bread" at a cost
less than they are compelled
to pay in the open market by
organizing and taking the
part of salespeople, as was
recently done in the Eastern
part of the country. :.
