EDITOR I.AWLESS OF WATER.
VILE SENTINEL WINS VIC
TORY OVER DEFAMERS.

Irish Standard: Evidence was taken
in Waterville on July goth by reporter
Bowdish in suit for criminal libel
against A. NJ. Morrison and G. B. Nor.
rison, publishers Of the Mankato
Morning Journal. The libel suit was
brought on complaint Of E. M. Law
less, publisher Of the Waterville Sen.
tinel. The libel suit was the result of
an article published in the Mankato
Morning journal declaring that Mr..
Lawless, who is fourth degree
knight of Columbus, took the alleged
oath against Protestants; the infam>
Gus bogus oath that has been circu-
lated 90 generally against the knights
of Columbus and which was published
in the Congressional Record Feb. 25,
1913. Among the witness were DIR.
Buckley of st. Paul, supreme physi~
clan, and VIM. J. Mckinley OF New
York City. There was no defense
made at the trial. The jury included
ministers and business men. The fore
man Of the jury was a Methodist
Episcopal minister. The prosecution
was handled by Attorney Francis
Hanzel and Attorney Thomas Hessian
and was defended by Attorney Nor
ris. The trial was held before Judge
George Dressell. The case is of ma.
tional Importance since it is the first
time that an individual knight OF
Columbus has brought suit against the
publishers Of the Infamous oath al
legged to be taken by the Knights of
Columbus. Trouble started when Mr..
Lawless commented upon the presence
of Anna Lowrie, the notorious person
age who described herself as an ex-
nun, in answering the comment Of Mr..
Lawless in the Mankato Morning
journal. The libelous article was
signed by "Truth. - 1t was against
this article Mr.. Lawless took exception
and upon it the libel suit was based.
Judge Dressell imposed straight Jail
sentences Of thirty days upon the de-
PENDANTS, who have since sought to
appeal their case. ~

erd, and on the evening Of the same
day made his getaway, leaving the
horses but money ahead on the tran.
sactions.
He came to st. Cloud and started
his purchases at the Warner barns @on
the East side, buying twelve horses
for $1,000, for which he gave a check
for $1,O25 and received $25 in change.
Later he bought two more horses a,
the same place for 1865, giving a
check for the amount. He purchased
another team from William Roylston
OF st. Cloud, paying for them with his
worthless checks and then traded them
for another horse at the Ninth Avenue
livery, getting $12 in cash.
The authorities at st. Cloud were
notified the next day that he was
wanted at Brainerd for misconduct
there, but by this time he had made

NEW COUNTY MAPS BEING DE
LIVERED

The Transcript Publishing Company
has received a number of new wall
maps Of Morrison county, which are
being gotten out for them and has
been distributing them to purchasers.
A small lot above the amount
ordered will be received to supply
those not signing for one. The com.
pany states, however, that these extra
maps are going very fast.
The map gives the names Of farm
owners, location Of rural routes, i'm
proved roads, churches and schools,
ereameries and railroads, as well as
the iron ore attractions. A number of
Crow Wing towns are also included
in the map.
The map is a useful one, and was
much needed, as great many changes
have taken place in the county since
the previous one was published in
1903.

NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS


The Division of Publications desires
to call attention to the fact that an
increasing number of requests for
publications are being received daily
in that division with incomplete adj

postoffice address. Persons living m
large cities fail to furnish the street
address; and some give us as the post
office address the name Of an office
that has been discontinued for years.
The department is unable to- han1ls
correspondence unless the signature IL
legible and the postofficea address
given in full, with street numbers or

be. Correspondents are therefore
earnestly requested to see that the com

TIE LOOSE PEN METHODS 01
FATTENING CHICKENS

The lOose-pen method of fattenins
market chickens might be properly
described as the practice Of feeding
the birds in small yards or pens, in
lots Of from twenty five to fifty. We
prefer tEis method for broilers OF
cockrels of the lighter breeds, sucn
as Leghorns, as they are very active
and are likely to be restless in the
crate. Our plan is to have a small
coop or shelter for roosting, with a
small yard attached; the whole strue-
ture being portable. Each morning at
feeding time the coop is moved a dis
tance equal to its length, to give "a
clean floor for the chicks. Where the
coop is placed in an orchard or grove,
it serves a double purpose; for, be!
sides accommodating the chickens, it
enriches the soil. A coop large enough
for thirty broilers should be three
feet wide, six feet long, two feet
high at the back, and three feet high
at the front; with three roosts rum
ming lengthwise. The yard should be
made of three hurdles; two twelve
feet long and. eighteen inches high,
one six feet wide, and a large hurdle
to cover the top and keep the chicks
from flying over.-C. E. Brown, Poul-
tryman, Northwest Experiment Sta

Col ". W. Harts, has almost COM
pleted remodelinS Pulaski triangle. ly-
ing between Pennsylvania avenue, +
and Thirteenth streets with the idea
of making 1t the most artistic plot of
several hundred of Its kind in the city.
Fully twenty-five varieties Of shrub
berry have been set out at either end
of the plot. among them being several
imported species of pine, spruce, and
other evergreens. 4 number of speci-
mems Of the rare ''Mahomia Japonica," "
an evergreen having a spine leaf some
thing like the holly, have also been
procured. Between these shrubs, Span
ish needles" and rhododendrons will be
planted.
Concrete bencheA will be placed in
the clear spaces running parallel to
Pennsylvania avenue and E street and
an ornamental drinking fountain will
be- istalled on the Avenue side. AS
this is the most conspicuous triangle
of any in the city the department hopes
to have II the most beautiful.

BRADLEY FARM SOLD

Ten Residences, Each on Acre

Once by Purchasers. =,

The biggest real estate transaction of
the present season was completed this
week when 200 acres of the Bradley
farm, in the vicinity of the Montgom-
cry Country Club line, were sold to
Wendell and Treat, of Philadelphia, by
the Real Estate Trust Company.
The property lies on each side Of the
Great Falls boulevard, Just being
opened. and within few years this dis
trict will contain some of the most
beautiful country homes to be found
in America Architects are now draw
ing plans for ten residences, on which
work will be begun shortly, and eacn
residence Will be surrounded by an acre
of ground.
The car line to Great Falls has only
been completed in the last few months,
and as the Bradley Hill district devel-
ops the boulevard will be constructed,
so that when completed the track will
lie through the center, with a fifty-fOot
roadway on either side. The accessible
ity of the large country clubs and the
imposing landscape effects possible Will
contribute to make this one of the city S
most aristocratic suburban sections.

Soon to Raze Belmont
To Clear Apartment Site

Before the end OF May it is probable
that Belmont" the historic building
on the old Barber estate. will have
begun to crumble under the pick OF
the contractor to make room for the
big apartment house. already under
construction there.
The long but unavailing struggle
made to save the old house that has
been so Intimately connected with much
Of Washington's history served only to
increase the interest in the big apart
ment house going up there. When COM
pleted. however, the new building, ON
account Of its size and architectural
beauty. may become as much of a land
mark as was Belmont"

Of homes that will prevail there when

Only detached houses are to built

on each side of the car line, and most
Of the lots are sold under restriction
which provides that no house costing
less than $500 shall be erected on

The rate at which the terrace is

in course of erection there. and work
