HANGS HIS SOCKS,
GOT PRIZE LADDER
Unknown Santa Claus Rewards
Man Who Advertised His
Wants in The Tribune

Richard Nortchott, retired farmer
and old soldier who lives on the west
side in this city, found an eighteen
foot ladder in his Christmas stocking.
He is probably the only man in Nor
ris who received such a gift, but the
gift didn't come from Santa Claus.
Northcott and the ladder are old
friends and they parted company in a
very mysterious manner one dark
night several weeks ago. A little
ad in the Morris Tribune brought
them together again today.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Northcott
went in search of the ladder and found
it missing. He had suspicious regard
ing the direction of it's disappearance,
and a fair-sized hunch who it was
that took it. Foraging in the army
in war days was alright but when it
came to stealing his ladder in so
peaceful place as his home surround
ings in Morris he decided he wouldn' t
stand for it. He knew just what to
do, He sought the Tribune man and
inserted notice. 1t worked like
magic. Everybody in Morris including
fellows who steal ladders, read the
Tribune even if they have to borrow
copy from the neighbors. Mr.
Northcott delivered his ultimatun
briefly and to the point.
The ladder is home today but Mr.
Northcott says he has absolutely nj
idea who brought it back or who took
it. The fellow he suspected has beer
given clean bill of health. 81 an

MORRIS MAN HEARS
BROTHER IS DEAD
News From German Trenches in
Russia Robs A. Stolingwa Of
~4a3-r5,.S s, i,s5
Christmas Pleasure

Christmas mails last week brought
distressing news to A. Stolingwa and
family, of this city. From far off
Russia he received word of the death
of his oldest brother in the German
trenches, killed when a Russian shell
burst and almost exterminated whole
regiment. The German censor didn' t
permit further details of the battle
and Mr.. Stolingwa is at loss to
know where it was his brother was
killed. Stolingwa is young man
employed at the Great Northern DEL
pot. He regards the death Of his
brother as a sacrifice to his country's
cause but feels doubly distressed be-
cause his brother leaves a widow and
her four small children in rather hard
circumstances. He isplaning to bring
them to Morris and help care for
them as soon as the war is over.
According to Mr.. Stolingwa he has
two other brothers in the German
army One is with the army in Serbia
and the other is with Won Hindenburg
at Riga. Both are young men who
have served since the first day the
war opened and one of the brothers
has been wounded and in the hospital
several times. The other has escaped
injury although he has participated
in all the hard-fought battles in the
east. The brother who was killed
enlisted on the ninth day of last Octo-
ber and was killed about the middle
of November.
The letter received here last week
was written from his old home in
Germany and was remarkable from
the fact that so much of real condi-
tions in the fatherland were described.
1t stated that while sentiment was
favorable to the kaiser and his war
program universal hopes Of early
peace prevailed, and there was suffer-
ing and privations in many quarters
of the empire. Throughout northern
Germany, the letter states, food was
plentiful and factories and business
PAGES were operated as usual but with
a larger number of women employed.
Feeling prevails that Germany has no
chance of losing in the present con-
f1ict.

HOLIDAY JOYS ARE
TURNED TO GRIEF
Mr.. and Mrs. George Beise At
tend Funeral of Aged Father
who Died Christmas Eve

The contemplated joys on happy
Christmas this year were turned to
sadness in the home of Judge and
Mrs. George Beise in this city last
Friday afternoon upon receipt of a
message from Mapleton, Blue Earth
county, announcing the death of Mr..
Beise's father, August Beise, after a
lingering illness with Bright's dis
ease. Mr.. and Mrs. Beise left i'm
mediately for Mapleton where the
funeral was held Sunday afternoon
from the Methodist church.
Deceased was one of the earliest
pioneers of Blue Earth county, having
settled there in the early sixties. He
was over eighty years of age at the
time Of his death. He was a native
of Germany and his occupation was
that of farmer but in late years he
was on the retired list. Some time
ago Mr.. Beise underwent an opera
tion in hopes of securing relief.
The funeral was one of the larg-
est held at Mapleton for many years
because of the wide acquaintance of
the deceased and the high respect and
esteem in which he was held. DR..
Beise, present mayor of Brainerd
and a son of the deceased was un-
able to attend the funeral because
of illness. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Beise returned to Morris Tuesday
morning after their sad trip and are
receiving the condolences of their
| friends.

BYE-BY OLD YEAR;
DON'T COME BACK!
Worlds Bitterest Year of Blood
and Tears Fades Tonight
- ''7ta-s~1 @Fsr-t 4 .. afr, r.
Morris to Celebrate

Only a few hours remain and old
Father Time will chalk up another
year to his credit. Tonight when the
old clock in the steeple strikes twelve
and Electrician Baker turns on the
whistle at the power house the birth
of a new year will be recorded. This
morning the Tribune sends its twelve
hundred subscribers the seasons best
greetings with hopes that the new
year will bring health, happiness and
contentment on every one of the 366
days it will contain. Twelve hundred
subscribers mean more than five thou
sand readers and the Tribune wishes
them all happy and prosperous New
Year.
The Tribune trusts that the past
year has been one of profit and good
cheer to you, that you have gained
your share of this worlds goods and
made friendships that will remain a
pleasure to you. Sometimes this old
world seems blue, and then again it
takes on the rosy hue that makes us
all glad to be part of it. The Tri-
bune hopes that for 1916 your share
of the good things and it's pleasures
will be great and your troubles and
cares reduced to an atom.
If the Tribune has been of any help
to you during the year which closes
today our aim has been achieved and
this knowledge is it's own reward.
That it will be welcome visitor dur
ing the year now dawning is our earn
est hope.
The year 1915 has been the blood
lest in the worlds past history. II
is computed that from wars ravages
alone over four millions of people
have perished. Accidents and disease
have increased their ranks to some.
thing like nine millions. With this
enormous number of people who have
gone to their tombs there is hardly
anyone who wished the old year tt
come back.
In the cafes, hotels and homes ir
Morris there will be celebrations tx
speed the parting guest. A number
of New Year parties and wakes are
on the program while others will bt
found dancing when the new year ar
rives.

CHILD HURT WHEN
HOT NUT EXPLODES
Remarkable Accident at Nick
Evers Home Leaves Little
Girl with Injured Arm

One of the most remarkable acci-
dents on record in this section of the
state occurred at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Nick Evers in this city last
Sunday afternoon when some of the
Evers children were baking nuts on
the family stove. One of the nuts
exploded and the fragments hit one of
the little girls on the arms and body
piercing the skin in about a dozen
places and left one of the arms bleed
ing profusely. The flying shells hit
several of the other children who es-
capped with smarting wounds. A
Morris doctor was called and he picked
a large amount of nut shells from the
little girls arm.
How many nuts exploded cannot be
ascertained but it is believed at least
three of them exploded simultaneous
ly. The stove was hot and the little
folks were having fine time pitching
the nuts onto the heated lids when
there was a terrific report and the
children felt stinging pains. cit felt

Little Miss Evers is not injured
seriously. Her arm is in a bandage
today and she will probably recover

Arthur Clark was the hero in an
exciting bowling match Wednesday
night at the Homewood bowling alleys
when the single men defeated the

the contest. All ran below 200 but
the scores were uniform and there
were no "spurts' or "fiukes.

Drink and Tax Question
Discussed by Cabinet

London, May THE cabinet con-
sidered the drink and tax questions at
a long meeting yesterday.
According to the Daily Mail it was
decided to abandon entirely the pro-
posals now before parliament and a
new alternative proposed by Chan
cellor Lloyd-George was favorably re
ceived.
In place of a graduated surtax on
strong beers the chancellor recon-
mends Encouragement of the existing
taxes. lessening the tax on the lighter
brews and increasing it on the heavier,
but without any alteration in the aver
age OF the existing taxes.
The chancellor seeks to handicap
the retail sale of liquor by putting a
tax on spirits according to their age.
The cabinet also considered a pro-
posal to prohibit altogether the sale of
spirits which have not been in bona
for at least three years.
The entire abolition of the new taxes
on wnies, it is reported, is probable
