YARCER CASE GOES
TO DISTRICT COURT
Men Accused of Grain Theft
Furnish Bond to Appear for
Trial Next March

The hearing of John and George
Yarger charged with completely in the
disappearance of about two hundred
bushels of grain from the granary at
the C. A. Dushek farm a week ago,
was held before Judge Beise at the
court house Saturday afternoon. The
defendants waived examination and
were bound over to await the action
of the grand jury. Bond was fixed
in the sum of $500 which was furn-
ished. Attorney Ormond appeared for
the defendants and County Attorney
Cherry appeared for the state.
The spacious court room was almost
filled with people who had come to
hear the expected legal battle and the
introduction of evidence. Accompanied
by their counsel the Yargers appeared
in heavy duck coats and took place
Immediately behind their attorney.
When Judge Beise called the case
Attorney Cherry announced the state
was ready to produce evidence but the
defense waived the hearing and the
bond was prepared. Witnesses were
asked to appear at the auditors office
and receive their fees. Then the
crowd filed out much disappointed.

ice KINGS ADVENT
BRINGS MUCH JOY
Beautiful Crystal Lake Has a
New Coat and Skaters Gath
er to Enjoy New Sport

Monday morning was hailed with
delight by the small boy and some of
the older ones in Morris. Jack Frost
had been here during the night and
covered the bosom Of Crystal lake
with sheet of ice two inches thick,
the discovery of which led to much
happiness among the young people
and dealers in ice skates. Devotees
of ice boating also began to stir al
though threatening snow storm
was in sight.
According to those whose memories
serve them accurately Crystal lake
froze five days earlier last year and
three weeks later the year before.
Sunday afternoon the lake had thin
rim of ice along the shores but the
most daring skater did not care to
venture forth. Early Monday after
noon about one hundred small boys
were skimming over the ice and none
of them broke through. In the eve
ming they turned out again and were
joined by large number of the older
ones. The ice is frozen clear and
smooth and the skaters will have little
difficulty in keeping it clear of snow.
Since last Monday afternoon I
have sold thirty seven pairs of skates
and orders are still coming in,'' said
we'll known hardware dealer yester-
day. At a shop where skates are
sharpened while you wait broad grin
Illuminated the face of one of the
workmen as he declared he has had
very little else to do but sharpen skates
since Monday. "And the thing that
strikes me the funniest,'' said the
man, els that there are so many bum
skates being used. have only seen
two pair worthy of mention.

Nose Broken; Will Sue

Frank Schultz, a resident of the
township of Hegbert, Swift county,
was in Morris Monday to receive
medical treatment for a broken nose
sustained in a fight with two COM
pan1ons. Aside from the broken nose
he had seriously battered face which
showed that he had been roughly
handled.
Schultz claims he was attacked by
the two men without warning and he
did his level best to defend himself.
He says there was no cause for the
provocation and will seek damages
from his assailants. He has retained
a Morris attorney and the matter will
be aired in the district court at Ben
son unless the parties see fit to settle
before that time.

Morris Billiard Championship
Still in Doubt and Tourna-
ment Must Settle Matter

Who is the champion billiard play
er in Morris?
There are ten men who claim the
title and the friends of each feel con-
fident their favorite could easily chase
the others over the billiard mountains
with water lily reed. To settle the
championship matter billiard tourn-
ament at local billiard parlor is be-
ing arranged and there is much spe-
culation as to the outcome. Just how
soon the tournament will be staged
has not been decided but the question
must be settled soon lest there be
sleepless nights and further rivalry
among the nations. One Norwegian,
two Germans, two Irishmen and a
quartet of Yankees will be engaged in
the war of the cushions. Chas.
Burke and J. H. Boyd are the gener-
ally recognized Wizards of the billi-
ard table. Boyd won't figure in the
tournament and this leaves Burke in
possession of the wreath and billiard
spear of Mars. Burke is the Irish
land man from the west side. He is
six feet tall, handsome and tips the
beam at something over two hundred
pounds. Billy Markle, the Yankee
egg candler at the produce company,
four feet eleven inches tall, slim anC

dred and twenty-five, is one of Burke s
challengers. Back of him is his
brother, Abner, Peter Weum, Pau
Spooner, Clifford Voss, Henry Jones
Herbert Probst and Earl Murray, all
of them are ready and willing to dc
combat for championship honors anc

GERMANS NECK IS
CHEWED IN BATTLE
Italian Uses Primitive Weapon
in Dispute over Five Cents
at Morris Saloon

The battle of the nations was fought
on the streets of Morris Tuesday after
noon when Generals Cadorna Luigi and
Won knux Kesner, militant sons of
Italy and Germany, clashed in front
of German saloon where they had
been accommodating for supplies.
The German used his fists. The Ital-
ian relied on his teeth. The battle
lasted five minutes and was ended in a
truce by the police. Kesner emerged
with two badly chewed fingers and a
neck which showed the heavy pound
ing of the Italian jaw artillery.
Kesner is young man from Mil
waukee who has worked here during
the summer. Luigi was a transient
and the aggressor in the fight. He
was taken in charge by Officer Ryan
who gave him five minutes in which
to get out of town. He started on his
way but appeared later and was jailed.

BACK FROM NORTH;
DEER WERE SCARCE
Carl Dolva, Armed with First
Deer Hunting License, Spends
Three Days at Walker

Only three deer hunting licenses
were issued this year iQ Stevens coun-
ty, Carl Dolva secured The first, c.
E. Russell was number two and Guy
Wyman, of Hancock, got the third.
Dolva went to Cass county last week
and spent three days at hunting
lodge near Walker. Having shot
neither deer nor man he returned to
Morris Monday night with discourag-
ing reports of conditions in the north
ern woods.
81 went up to visit my brother
more than anything else," said Mr..
Dolva yesterday During the three
days l was there we did some hunting
but didn't see single deer or moose.
Only one deer was reported killed
near Walker this year and that was
bagged by timber sappers in camp
several miles up the lake. Absence
Of snow made tracking impossible.
All the lakes and streams were open
in that country and that hindered sue
cessful deer stalking. There were
lots of men out after game but they
had no better luck than our party
did,
Russell left for Mile Laos lake ear
ly this week where he will spend the
winter. His headquarters will be
near Onamia. Trapping will be his
speciality but he will not overlook a
deer or a moose and if he gets one or
both he has promised to remember
the boys at the Columbia hotel where
Russell makes his home while in Nor
ris. Russell has spent several winters
in the northern woods and has been
quite successful in his ventures.
The lakes and rivers along the Can
adian boundary line seem to be the
popular deer hunting grounds this fall.
Reports from that section indicate
more hunters are present there this
year than has ever been known before.
Not very many accidents have oc-
Cured so far as known. At Inter-
national Falls complaints have been
made to the county attorney regarding
the shooting of two cows owned by a
settler. The hunters used lights and
the cows were killed during the night.
E. B. Linsley, former county superin-
tendent of schools in Stevens county
who now conducts a paper and is post
master at Willow River, Pine county,
writes to friends in Morris suggesting
that if there are any hunters here
who really wish to secure deer,
they should stop off in Carlton
county. The letter states that deer
in large numbers, evidently fright
ened by the booming guns farther
north. have appeared within mile
of the federal building at Willow
River. Linsley is getting ready witt
his artillery.

Hook Causes Trouble

An iron hook Suspended from the
ceiling at the Morris Auto Co.'s gar
age caused trouble for Abraham
Abrahamson, head machinist, late
Monday afternoon. AS Abrahamson
.sidestepped several pieces of auto
castings on the floor on his way to a
window he didn't see the hook and
ran into it. The sharp point tore the
upper eyelid from his right eye and
left it suspended on his cheek. He
hurried to the Doctors office where
several stitches were required in a
very delicate operation.
While the accident proved painful
no serious results are looked for but
Abrahamson will have to do his blink
ing with only one eye for the next
several weeks.

He thought he had the flames extin-
giushed when the fire boys arrived but
they were not satisfied. Part of the
wainscoating was ripped off the walls
and a column of flame shot forth. The
blaze was extinguished after loss of
about $25 had been sustained.
Heat from the furnace pipes enter
ing the chimney where a brick had
fallen just beneath the floor caused
the trouble.

Early Blaze Calls Fire Bows

Fire at the Burpee residence early
Monday morning called out the fire
department and gave the boys a little
breakfast exercise. A defective
chimney was responsible.
Mr.. Burpee had the furnace fires
roaring and the family had just fin
ished breakfast when the rooms began
filling with smoke. The smoke came
from the floor near the chimney and
Mr.. Burpee began drenching it with
water while other members of the
family summoned the fire department.
