reference to taxation of mortgag-

to be taxable under the "war

cents, but under recent de-
cision this ruling has been re-
versed and mortgages are now
held not to be taxable because
of the power of the sale clause
therein contained.

that all taxes of the various ex

Germ the illness and death of l.. c.
Hummel, former ranchman of

1t is with sincere regret that
we chronicle the death of T.. C.

Northwestern hospital yesterday
shortly before noon. Mr.. Hum
mel suffered an acute attack of ap-
pendicits while in Minneapolis on
Thursday evening of last week. A
physician of that city was CONSUL

be merely stomach trouble. Mr..
Hummel returned to Princeton the
following evening and Immediately
entered the Northwestern hospital.
DIR. Cooney advised that an opera
ton be performed at once, but was
prevailed upon by the patient to
delay it until the following morn
ing. When the operrtion was per-
formed it was very evident that
there was Slight chances of recov-
cry. The appendix had burst be
fore the operation was performed
and widespread inflammation of
the bowels had resulted. Hope
was not entirely abandoned until
yesterday morning however, and
upon the previous evening the
patient seemed to be on the mend.
During the night change set in
tor the worse, and early in the
morning it was apparent that it
was only question of few hours
before the end would come.
i L. c. Hummel was born at
Milwaukee, October 20, 1867. He
grew 10 manhood in that city and
was united in marriage to Miss
Anna O'Neil at Minneapolis on
May 20, 1899. Shortly after his
marriage he removed with his
wife to Sisseton, S. D., where he
resided until the summer of 1905,
when he came to Princeton, and
this place has since been his home,
He operated meat market, and
dealt in cattle and horses here and
was one of Princeton S most pro-
gressive business men.
Besides a host of friends here
deceased leaves to mourn his pass

MIR. Hummel was valued men,
Der of the school board of indie

During the years Mr.. Hummel

C0NFESSES TO
ROBBING MAIL
John Dahl, Mail Clerk, Con
fesses to Taking Registries.

Following a severe cross ex-
animation at the hands of feder.
al inspectors, John Dahl, mail
clerk on the Faith branch of the
Milwaukee road, confessed yes.
terday to having robbed the
mail car on that line of five reg
istered packages, valued at ST.
O1O, last Saturday morning and
to framing story which would
cast suspicion on some unknown
party.
Dahl, who made his head
quarters at Mobridge, and who
had charge of the mail car on the
Faith branch, was brought to
this city last evening by POST
Office inspectors George H.
Drake and Robert S. Griggs of
st. Paul, who were assigned by
the government to investigate
the case. He was placed in the
county Jail toawaitfurther action
in the matter.
The Faith mail car was broken
into Saturday morning about
1920 O'Clock, supposedly while
Dahl was at the Columbian No.
II, securing the registered pack
ages for the Faith line, The
window to the mail car door was
smashed and by the lifting of
the latch on the inside the door
was opened.
A drawer in a desk, which was
locked, had been broken and five
packages were taken.
For a time Dahl was above
suspicion and the robbery baffled
the authorities. Later circum-
stances developed that Dahl
knew something more about the
robbery. He was placed under
a severe cross examination by
the inspectors, with the result
that he confessed to breaking
the window in the car door and
the lock on the drawer, after
wards taking the packages and
placing them in hiding. He said
he did the job in this way to
make the authorities believe
some other person committed
the crime.
Later he took the inspectors to
the place where he hid the pack
ages. Two of the packages were
valued at 81 ,O1O and these were
found intact. The other three
of less value, it is said, were
destroyed.
At the time of Of the robbery
Dahl was not suspected in the
least. He had always borne a
good reputation and was a quiet
sort of fellow. He was a good
workman and was trusted to the
utmost. Dahl is 20 years old.
He was born in Minneapolis,
but moved to North Dakota with
his parents while a small boy.
His parents reside at Cathay, N.
D.. at this time Dahl is student
of physical culture and possesses
quite a library of books on this
a subject. Heis not married.
. It is expected that his case will
y be the subject Of an investigation
n by the grand jury during the
81 present term. Until after the
@ investigation he will be kept in
the county jail.
