Caught

On Tuesday evening of last week a
man named James Cochran got team
at Lamb & Herbert's livery stable, St.
Cloud, representing that he was go
ing to Forest City. After waiting a
reasonable time for the return of the
team, Mr.. P. Lamb and Sheriff Alden
started out to recover the team and
capture the rascally driver. They
went first to Forest City and failing
to find any trace of the man or team
in that locality, they traversed a
great portion of Meeker and Stearns
counties. On Sunday they learned
that the man they were in search IF
had taken the road to Sank Centre
and they arrived here Monday morn
ing. After some search they learned
that Cochran had traded the horses
and carriage-worth $350-to ]. M.
Apfeld, of the Minnesota House for a
yoke of oxen worth $50, and Apfeld
had given the horses to D. Greenleaf
in payment for the oxen, which had
been left to Mr.. Apfeld by Greenleaf
to sell. The carriages and harnesses
remained with Mr.. Apfeld. The
horses and the carriage were taken
in possession by Mr.. Lamb, and on
Monday afternoon the sheriff, accom-
panied by Mr.. Apfeld proceeded to the
home of Cochran near Alexandria,
where they arrested him and brought
him back to this place on Tuesday. On
Wednesday morning the prisoner was
examined before J. D. Carr, ESQ.,,
plead guilty and was placed under
$1,000 bonds to appear for trial. In
default of bail he was taken to ST..
Cloud and lodged in Jail. When found
by sheriff the prisoner was hauling
wood into Alexandria with yoke of
oxen for which he had traded the
horses. 1t is due to Mr.. Apfeld to
state that at the examination the
prisoner testified that he (Apfeld)
was entirely ignorant of the manner
in which he obtained the team. When
Mr.. Apfeld became aware of the true
nature of the transaction, he was ac-
tive in his efforts to bring the rascal
to justice, and Immediately set out to
guide the sheriff to Cochran's home
to make the arrest. James Cochran
will probably make his residence at
Saltwater for a while. "The way of
the transgressor is hard"

Some Fruit Trees

On Tuesday Mr.. R. White of the
Farmers Union Store, received from
the Faribault nursery, over 200 apple
trees, which together with what he al
ready had, make over 800 fruit trees
which he will have planted next
spring. Mr.. White has recently pur-
chased an out lot of three acres which
he proposes to plant with trees and
shrubbery next spring. Mr.. w. takes
a great deal of pleasure in gardening,
and understands the business thor
oughly. 1t is his intention to make
that patch of three acres the finest
fruit orchard and garden in this part
of the state. If others would follow
his example in improving and beau
tifying their grounds it would add
more to the beauty of our town than
anything else.

Mr.. A. DeGroat Of Glenwood gave
US call this week and is looking as

where he has completed a government
contract for 1,O40 tons of hay, for
that Fort. He has Is men and II
teams employed, with which he put
up 1,040 tons in seven weeks. This
is pretty fair work considering the I'M
usual shortness of the grass, and
speaks well for the ability and energy
of Amos, in carrying through with a

Recognition Of Unions.
'sWhat is the main bone of conten-
lion and the principal cause of strife
between organized labor and organ
ICED capital?'
4The main cause of industrial strife
arises out of the refusal of organized
capital to recognize the unions. l be-
lieve that employers are realizing this
and are showing willingness, in ever
increasing numbers, to deal with the
workers collectively. think that the
government should promote the or
gahization of employers and employees
in order that all disputes that may
arise may be settled collectively ON
the basis Of trade agreements between
the two contending forces" %
In conclusion, Walsh made the fol
lowing statement:
81 know that some people will raise
the cry Of paternalism in reply to the
suggestion that social control and
regulation and the promotion Of labor
unions by the government would do
great deal in relieving the violent
industrial disturbances and unrest
which we face today. But we are hv-
ing in an age and under conditions
where lit is not the government that
governs least that is the best govern
ment, but the government that gov
erns most and governs wisely. We
want more laws and more government
and the protection Of society as a
whole and not for the benefit Of any
one class in particular"

te workers and the employing. class,
The workers will never he satisfied.
They win continue to demand more
and more until they get approximate
ly the full product Of their toll That
is the ultimate aim toward which the
labor movement is striving"
In entering upon the discussion of
the labor movement, Walsh was ask
ed to state in brief the main problem
which confronts the movement, as IA,
as meeting changes in industry and
the requirements of larger social
vision are concerned. He replied: I
1.-THE main problem, think, is the
question of jurisdictional disputes; a
problem which arises from the rapid
changes which many trades have ex.
perienced. It is this question which
forms the basis of the. contest between
the conservative and the radical ele-
ments in the labor movement. The
conservatives wish to preserev the
present form Of organization along
craft lines, whereas the radicals insist
that the growth and concentration OF
industry necessitates the reorganiza-
ton of the labor movement upon
broader, so-called industrial lines.
This question will work out itself, for
whichever side may be right the
movement will have to follow the die
tates of necessity and economic evolu-
tion."
'Do you think the labor movement
will go in for politics more directly
