fire LOSSES ARE ADJUSTED
L. O, WEs6ELL CO., TANNER, LUD-
WIG AND EOKES T. EGGERs
GET SUPPLEMENTS

Several insurance adjusters were in
the city yesterday and made settle
ments with those who suffered losses
in the fire which destroyed the Rider
building and damaged several others
on Thursday morning Of last week.
The claim of the l.. 0. VESSEL COM
pany for damage to the stock Of the
st. Paul dry goods store was settled
Tor $6,l90.25. Practically the entire
damage to this stock was by smoke
and heat. The loss to the Tanner build
ing, in which the store is located, was
also settled, the amount being 1857.
Edw. Ludwig, owner Of the building
in which the Milo theatre is located,
received $425. This building suffered
some damage on the north wall from
the flames and from water and smoke.
Eckes & Eggers, owners Of the theatre,
received $40 for damage to scenery,
etc, by water.
Adjusters representing the insurance
companies with which the Rioer build
ing and contents were insured are in
the city today to appraise the losses. ~
technicality has arisen in connection
with the insurance Oh the billiard hall
and bowling alleys, due to the failure
of r. II. Adams, former owner Of the
place, to transfer the insurance policy
to Reuben Anderson, to whom he sold
out few days before the fire occurred.
1t is thought that it can be satisfac-
torily settled, however.

farmers CLUB MEETINGS
N. E. CHAPMAN, P0ULTRY SPE-
c1A11sT, TO ADDRESS FARM
ERS NEXT WEEK

n. E. Chapman, poultry specialist OF
the extension division of the state uni
versity, has been secured to conduct q
series of farmers club meetings in this
vicinity next week. This is the second
series, the last one being conducted by
A. J. Mcclure, dairy specialist.
MIR. Chapman is a practical poultry
raiser, having followed this business
for years. = For four years he has been
promoting poultry work in this state in
connection with the extension division
and as such is verv highly praised b,Y
A. D. Wilson, head of the extension di,
vision. He is an entertaining speaker
and every. farmer living near the meett
ing place should be in attendance. -.
The reason: for having the extension
division representatives speak at the
farmers club meetings is that in this
way those. who are directly interested
are reached. In past years farmers
institutes have been held in the cities,
but the club meeting plan is considered
better. !
The meetings will be held as follows:
Elmdale Farmers club, Monday, Jan.
Meadowview Farmers club, Brick

Tomorrow noon the local high school
basketball squad will journey to Brain
erd for game with the basketball
team Of the high school at that place.
The game promises to be one of the
fastest of the season, as Brainerd has
always been strong contender for the
championship in this section Of the
state.
The local boys are confident of Win
ming and have been putting in some
hard practice on team work lately. The
games which they have won thus far
this season have been captured with
very little trouble. A number of high
school students and basketball fans
expect to accompany the quint to
Brainerd for the game.

fake SALESMAN WAS HERE
III. ;. HEYING RECEIVED MONEY
THROUGH LOCAL MAILS AS
SALESMAN FOR CONCERN

Chief of Police Hang is on the look
out fox one II. J. Heying, who is want
ed for fraudulently receiving money
from people in this section of the state
as payments on orders for clothes from
tailoring concern, which he claimed
he represented. Chief Hang is in re-
ceipt of letter from Arthur Paulson
Of Nymore, who was feeced by the
fake salesman, asking him to help
locate the man, who, he states, gave
his address as Little Falls.
Mr.. Paulson gave Heying an order
IA of last year. He signed contract
whereby he was to pay down one-third
Of the price Of the overcoat and the
coat was to be delivered On December
l. The overcoat was valued at 500 and
the balance was to be paid Of Decem-
Der IS. Heying took the order and
gave him his address, Little Falls, and
instructed him to send the payment to
him here.
Paulson sent him a money order for
81 on November II and has not seen
the overcoat nor heard of the man
since. He wrote Heying a letter in
December, which the latter evidently
received, as it was never returned to
Paulson, although he had his return
card on it.
No trace of the man can be found by
the local police. It would not seem as
though he had worked any territory in
the vicinity Of Little Falls as no such
complaints have been registered here.
Heying is described by Pau1son as be-
ing about 5 feet 8 inches in height,
with light complexion, light brown
hair, grey eyes, and weighing about
1855 pounds.

High School Anniversary
Monday, January II, a special pro-
gram was given. It has been just a
year since we entered the new high
school building. Since entering it we
have made progress along lines Of ply
steal and social work as we'll as mental.
Our basketball, football and baseball
teams have had more encouragement
along those lines, as they have had a
gymnasium to use. They have made
good use of the locker rooms and the
new showers. The success of the high
school organizations is a result of the
facilities Of the new school. The COM
mercial department. is q distinct ad-
vantage in tho: high school, because
along with business education, which
is equal to any business college in the
country, the student also is instructed
along other lines; 80 that they not only
have business knowledge, but also are
given q knowledge of social life and
have therefore q better talent. The,
normal department is also great ad-,
vantage, as it is set of from the rest
Of the school and the timGs is spent en-
tirely on normal work. o.
