Found Conditions Deplorable,

Upon information furnished by
member of the Princeton Humane
society, President Lowell, accom-
panied by Sheriff Shockley, drove out
to the farm of G. f. McGonagle,
about a mile west of the village, on
Saturday. There they found swine,
cattle and horses in state of semi
starvation and without adequate
shelter. McGonagle would have been
placed under arrest and brought to
town had it not been for the sickness
of himself and wife. President
Lowell and Sheriff Shockley, how
ever, gave McGonagle to understand
that unless immediate steps we're
taken to supply the animals with
ample food and give them proper
shelter he would be brought before
a justice of the peace and pena]ized.
Since that time McGonag]e has some
what improved conditions.

A Good Story.

Charley Dickey told a story yester-
day which is worth reproducing. 1t
is as follows: A quarter of a century
ago, when Newell Ross was post
master in Princeton, fuel was not
very plentiful. One morning Rev.
Bouck, shivering from the cold,
entered the postofdce and said to
Mr. Ross, "Newell, you do not seem
to have much wood in your stove. -
"No,'' replied Newell, I have been
so busy that I had no time to keep
the blasted stove agoing, but, Mr..
Bouck. if you will kindly step across
to my woodpile (pointing out the
said woodpile) and bring in an arm

favor Rev. Bouck replied, "Cer-
tainly, Newell; I am almost frozen
to death, and I will bring in a half
dozen armfuls if you desireI be-

Princeton Versus Mora,

Last Thursday night the town
team boarded the train for Mora to
do battle with the basket ball tossers
of that town on the latter's floor
that evening. From miscellaneous
reports which have drifted back
from the scene of battle we gather
that it was one glorious, hilarious
rough house from start to finish,
with the score showing up % to Is
in favor Of the Mora tribe. The
Princetonians disembarked at the
local depot on the following morning
and their features bore out in every
detail the previous unconfrmed re-
ports from the scene of action. AS
it would be bordering on criminal
libel to attempt to enumerate the
various black eyes and other disfigur-
ations, bumps and bruises, received
by the members of the Princeton
team. let it suffice that each man
was decorated with everything from
a discolored eye to housemaid's
knee.
Mons. Art Roos informs US that
the game was ''deucedly rough,
don't you know" and that he much
prefers to drive. automobiles or fire
apparatus as means of taking light,
safe and sane recreation and ex-
ercise. He also says the Mora floor
is somewhat smaller than the ar
mory, poorly lighted, and the seating
facilities so arranged that about half
the time the spectators are pushed

Surprise Party.

On Friday evening Is young people
surprised Myrtle Nelson, the oc-
casion being her sixteenth birthday
anniversary. The party first at
tended the basket ball game and
then went to Nelson's. Instru-
mental and vocal music and various
games comprised the evenings
amusements. Hearts, cut into in
Vulnerable shapes, were passed
around, the boys taking from one
envelope and the girls from another.
After these we're distributed the
boys tried to match their pieces of a
heart with the girls, and, if the
parts made a complete heart, then
the boys found their partners for
supper. At II O'Clock a bounteous
luncheon was served. Miss Nelson
received a beautiful present from
those assembled. The party dis.
banded at l 80 a. M, having passed
an enjoyable time.

Leading a Perilous Life.

Albert johnson of Milo recently
received a letter from his brother,
Henry, who is located in South
Africa. Henry is buying furs and
has purchased a territory from the
London company for which he was
working. He is living in the jungle
where he has built a substantial
log house--and it is no uncommon
thing for him to be awakened in the
night time by the scratching of a
leopard or jaguar upon the roof OF
his domicile. However, he doesn' It
mind this so much as the tapping of
the African lion upon his front door
or the frequent visits of the tiger.
One night tiger managed to
force entry to his house but Henry
was ready for the occasion and, as
the door was torn from it's hinges a
bullet from a Winchester rifle laid
the big cat low.
Mr.. Johnson buys his furs from
the natives, a horde Of whom are
continually hunting for him. They
bring in lion, tiger, leopard and
various other skins which command
big prices in the London market.
He also buys ivory and ships it to
England.
"For making money rapidly,' he
says in his letter, ''the business
which I am pursuing is all right, but
there is certain amount of hazard
attached to it-a man has to watch
his surroundings pretty closely or he
will be carried off to some cave and
fed to. the cubs of the wild
beasts. Still the life is fascina ting
Roast monkey, he says, is savory
dish in that country, and he often
eats it.
Henry Johnson was in Princeton a
year or two ago. He was then on a
visit to his relatives in Milo. Life
in this country, he said at that
time, was too tame for him-he
much preferred the wildness and
uncertainty of the jungle. And to
the jungle he returned.

the stove. ''That's hard work"
declared Rev. Bouck, for a man
who has only to tell stories to his

the world and the world bows back
to you,'' he said; 'sgive to the
world your best and the world gives
back it's best to you. y

teresting and pleasing manner, in
terspersed with good, clean stories,
told to hammer home or clinch a
truth. The audience was on the
verge of tears one minute and ready
to burst with laughter the next.
At the close Of the entertainment
the whole audience moved forward,
eager to shake hands with the genial
doctor. Many Of them worked
shoulder to shoulder with him dur
ing the construction Of the present

Bound Over to Grand jury.

Edward Rean, arrested in connec-

and charged with grand larceny from
the person of complainant, was ar
raigned before Justice Dickey last
Thursday and preliminary ex-
animation held. Rean pleaded not
guilty to the charge and a number of
witnesses gave evidence. Rean was

sum of 81, 900 and secured bondsmen
in the persons Of Fred and Leonard
Scalberg, Fred Holm, John Sjobolm,

gathered in Floyd Erickson, the last
of the trio charged with grand
larceny from the person of S. G.
Galley. Erickson had been visiting
relatives at Spring Vale and the
sheriff got scent of his whereabouts.
So on Monday he started out to bring
in his man. On the way he met
Erickson, who was seemingly ignorant
of the fact that Leach and Rean had
been arrested, and was proceeding
toward Princeton. Erickson was
arraigned before Justice Dickey on
Tuesday morning, waived examina-
tion, and his bail was fixed in the
sum of 1000. Not having succeeded

Neiehbor Comes to Jensen's Rescue.


Dor, Marnes A. Jensen, who was
charged with trespass by Michael
Quigley and fined therefor last week,
is one of the most persevering and
Industrious men who ever tried to
chop out home in the jungle; that
he has cut a road through brush and
swamp a mile in length which bene-
fits every farmer in that locality,
and that he is respected by all of the
people in that part Of the country.
"He is = a newcomer, says Mr..
Hanks, ''and it is unfortunate that
he should have crossed the boundary
of Mr.. Quigley's land to cut log or
two with which to finish his house,
but I am certain he did it with no
criminal intent. Hence I have come
to his rescue and willingly advance
him the $50 with which to pay his
fine. He is a poor man financially
and am not rich by long shot N.Y.
self, but I know he will repay me.
I have complete faith in Mr.. Jensen
and predict that it will not be many
years before he has one Of the incest
farms in this part of the country.

Quigley would have prosecuted Mr..
Jensen had it not been for outside
parties, and had he known the true
circumstances in the case. -

The WEEKS DEA tbs
George w. Buck, an Early Settler
of This Village, is Called to
Receive His Reward.
George w. Harter, Another Respected
Citizen Of Princeton, Passes
: to the Great Beyond.

George W. Buck, one of Princeton's
