ORDERS ISSUED TO
REMOVE BUILDINGS
General Cleanup will Follow
Visit of State Fire Marshal
Who Makes Inspection

Following a visit of a state deputy
fire marshal to Morris last Monday
orders were issued to several owners
of dilapidated buildings to have them
removed. The building were con-
demned as fire menaces. The action
of the deputy fire marshal will be It'd
ings of great joy to the neighbors in
whose opinion the buildings were an
eye-sore.
Gasoline tanks kept outdoors were
ordered submerged and there will be
quite number of automobile owners
who will get busy Immediately. Boxes,
barrels and kindling wood will be
carted away from buildings, and the
restaurants will inaugurate cleanup
of back yards.
81 must say have seen very few
towns that could boast of neater and
cleaner alleys than Norris said the
deputy. 81 think Morris is model
town in this respect
The items condemned by the deputy
must be removed by the owners with
in a specified time otherwise a pen
atty ranging from $40 to $50 per day
for each day of failure attaches. Legal
papers in which the condemned pro-
perties are described have been filed
with the clerk of court and the notices
served on the owners will be final.
If property owners deem the order to
be unreasonable they will be permit
ted to take the. matter into court. 1t
is doubtful if this will be attempted
in Morris since it is known that the
orders of the fire marshals have beer
within fair limitations and wherever
an attempt has been made to overrule
their orders have failed with consider.

JURY GAVE MULLEN
$S653.66 DAMAGES
Case Two Times In Court is Only
One Tried at Fall Term in
Stevens County

F. A. Mullen, we'll known clothier,
won his case against the Otter Tail
Power Co. in the Stevens county dis
trict court in session in this city last
week. The case is we'll known to
local fame, having been tried two
times, once before the supreme corut.
After being out five hours the jury
awarded Mr.. Mullen 1868. sc, only
$4.34 less than was awarded the other
time. Attorney Ormond was in
charge of the case for Mr.. Mullen all
times assisted by Attorney Murphy,
of Wheaton.
A fire which started from unknown
causes in restaurant in the rear of
the Mullen store in the early morning
of Feb. 20, 1913, destroyed the build
ing with it's contents. During the
progress of the fire an electrician in
the employ of the light company
clambered a pole and severed the light
wires leading to the store. When
the fremen arrived dense smoke filled
the room and the work of rescuing
stock was hampered. A show case
containing neckwear, and quantity
of shoes, were taken out and then the
darkness stopped further work.
Mr.. Mullen brought suit against the
company to recover the cost of his
stock and was awarded substantially
the same amount as last week. The
case was appealed to the supreme
court which affirmed the findings OF
the lower court but remanded the case
for retrail on a technicality. At the
trial last week about forty witnesses
were subpoenaed, and the taking Of
testimony required most of five days.

teresting to farmers was the parcels
post and the proposed changes. Re-
solutions favoring the system and urg
ing the adoption. of the plans under
consideration by the postal department

Geenty Must Help Run the City

The friends of DR.. Geenty have de-
cided to enter the popular dentist as a
candidate for the office of city com
missioner and his name will be voted
upon in the November election. Com
missioner Vinje's term expires this
year and he has positively declined
to stand for another nominations and
election. A desire to give all his at
tention to business is given as the
reason for refusal.
The friends of DIR. Geenty got busy
this week and as a result fifty petit
tions were filed with the city manager.
Only twenty-five are necessary anc
more than fifty cannot be filed. Nc
other name has been mentioned. 81

man in the right place. He is pretty
level headed on public matters as wei
as private affairs,'' said Mr.. Vinj'
in discussing the matters as to wh'
his successor might be.

LETTER FROM HOME
BRINGS SAD STORY
Feodor Mann Learns about His
Brother and Uncle, Veterans
in German Army

Feodor Mann, popular clothing sales
man at the Wells Bros. Hanson store
in this city, is in receipt of letter
from his mother in Germany in which
she describes some of the horrors of
war brought forcibly to her door. 1t
tells of the wounding of Mr.. Mann s
brother and uncle who have been fight
ing with the Kaiser legions in north
ern France since the war broke out,
and gives an inkling of the ferceness
of the battles described 30 graphical
ly by American newspaper correspon-
dents. Just what may have happened
since the letter was written is left to
Mr.. Mann's imagination.
According to the letter Mr.. Mann s
brother was the first to receive a bull
let in the arm and was carted away
to field hopsital where he was re-
covering. Then the uncle was picked
up on the battlefield suffering with
wounds inflicted by shrapnel,. Hos.
pital surgeons pronounced both out OF
danger and was about to order the
men returned to the trenches. Nc
information is given as to what parsi.
cular battle the men were in when they
fell. Both are in the artillery service

THREE CANDIDATES
ARE IN THE FIELD
Peterson, Lindberg and Iverson
Have Lightning Rods Up for
Gubernatorial Bolt

Announcement that C. A. Lindberg,
from the Sixth district,
w!ll he candidate for governor in
the republican primaries next year,
means that there will be a lively
scramble for the chance to defeat Gov
ernor Hammond, according to the poll
tically wise in Morris. Governor
Hammond made no predictions while
he was in Morris two weeks ago as
to whom his rival may be although it
is known that the governor expects
julius Schmahl to become contender
for the republican primary nomina-
tion.
Mr.. Lindberg's entry means at least
three serious contenders for the re
publican nomination for governor.
S. G. Iverson has declared himself a
candidate, though not formally, and
James A. Peterson has been checking
up with his friends and making no
secret of his intentions. Peterson and
Iyerson were both candidates early in
the last campaign but retired to give
Lee clear field.
G. B. Buckman, who was retired
by Mr.. Lindberg in 1906, will make
an effort to regain his congressional
shoes. 1t is reported that he will have
opposition in the person of M. j.
Wooley, formerly of Howard Lake but
now county attorney in Hubbard
county. Senator P. II. McGarry, of
Walker, who tried conclusions with
Mr.. Lindberg, is also an aspirant.

is A. A. Davidson, wheat buyer at
New Prairie who left the activities
of similar position in Morris some
time ago and removed his family to
New Prairie. Mr.. Davidson is a
member of the Morris commercial
club and has the distinction of being
one of the best whist players in this
section of the country. Last winter
he rounded up some of his friends and
took them to Glenwood where they
humbled the famous whist club.
There are no whist performers at New
Prairie and this adds to the lonesome
moments for Friend Davidson out on
the N. P. siding.
In a letter to the Tribune Mr..
Davidson recalls some of the gooo
times last winter. He remembers
the old friends in Morris and says he

Lawyers Get Behind:
Court Work Delayed

F, Because lawyers have not been keep
ing up their work and have not been
abreast of the district court, Judge
Willett found it necessary Tuesday
, to delay court work perhaps for week
or few days. When Judge Willett
came to make an assignment of jury
cases TO be tried next week he found
the lawyers unprepared. The result
was the court was compelled to notify
jurors who were to report next Mon
day not to report until Monday, March
%.
Out of list of forty cases that 1t
was possible to assign, the Judge found
only seven that he could, assign. The
others could not be set for trial be-
cause the attorneys were not ready,
were absent from the city, or for other
reasons. Judge Willett then an
nounced that he would hold next week
open for equity business. and that if
this were not furnished by the attor-
neys he would adjourn court for the
week.
The attorneys are complaining that
continuous court terms lasting for
months, with scarcely break. are
onerous and give them no opportunity
to get cases ready for trial or to at
tend to their, office business or cases
in other courts.

1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH IT WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at ALL if you want to keep
your hair looking best Most soaps
and prepared shampoos- contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and grease!ess}, !s
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub il in. 1t makes an
abundance Of rich. creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the
scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous. fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get riuis;fhied cocesnut
oil ar any pharmacy, and few
ounces will supply every member Of
the family for months.
