urday afternoon while hunting at Dog
Lake, Kandiyohi county, with a COM
panion, Mr.. Rankin.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Atkinson Of this
city and their two Minneapolis friends
had gone to that lake in the morning
where they pitched their camping out

The two men had gone out onto the
lake to hunt, and had secreted them
selves in blind. In some way Mr..
Rankin's gun was discharged, the load
tearing away part of Pitchers right
hand which was clasping his own gun
A portion of the palm was shot away
and the fourth finger was lost. He
will also lose the use Of his wrist. The
gun was blown into the water and was
recovered the next day by Mr.. Akin
son.

State Bank Examiner A. H. Turrit-
in has notified the banks in Wright,
Carver, Hennepin and Mcleod coun-
ties that they must not pay more than
per cent interest on time certificates
Of deposit.
Mr.. Turritin's letter states that he
finds the five per cent rate which
some of the banks in the counties
named have been paying too high in
proportion to the rate received for
loans in thickly settled communities,
and is more than can be conserva-
lively paid.
The Cokato Enterprise complains
that the order is unfair to number
Of banks in Wright county as all of
the banks in Meeker county pay S.
per cent on time certificates of de-
post. The two counties border

ed Sunday night after midnight, the
safe blown open and robbed of 500
in cash and large amount of stamps.
The explosion which blew the door
off from the safe was heard about
half past one o'clock Monday morn
ing. Shortly after the explosion an
automobile was heard leaving town.
So far no clues have been found which
give any hope Of apprehending the
guilty parties.
The Starbuck robbery is one of
series Of its kind which have occurred
in this territory within the past few
months. The last place robbed was
the Hancock post Office two weeks ago

The furious ringing OF the fire alarm
at 4:4O Saturday morning aroused the
whole population from their sleep and
beds and upon reaching out side and
down town fire was seen issuing forth
from the Palace Hotel, or better
known to this community as the 500
Hotel.
The fire had reached great Roadway
and the whole building was ablaze be-
fore the hose was connected and water
put on the flames. The hose leaked
and the force of the water was weak
ened and owing to the fire having such
a big start before discovery, it was
understood at once that the entire
building was doomed. There was no
wind and the brick garage building
next on the north and three vacant
lots on the south of the hotel saved
the other buildings and the fire was
easily confined to the hotel.
