Hancock Farm Home Burns

The farm home of Mr.. and Mrs..
John Metzger near Hancock was de-
stroyed by fire early Friday morning
on the 9Th inst. All efforts to save
the building were friutless. The
origin of the fire is believed to have
been from a gasoline stove which
wss@ased in preparing breakfast.
Mr.. Metzger had proceeded into the
fields and Mrs. Metzger placed kettle
of potatoes on the stove to boil and then
went out to milk. When she returned
she saw the. flames breaking through
the roof. .Neighbors also saw the fire
and hastened to the scene. A large
quantity of the household goods were
saved. The Metzgers were renters
and it is probable that the owner of
the place will rebuild this fall.

Irye Townsend. who recently dispos-
ed of has newspaper plant at Chokio
and who returned last week from a
trip to the Pacific coast. had decided
to establish new newspaper at Dom

publisher there found the field too
small for his requirements, sold the
plant and moved away. Now the
business interests of the town see the
advantage of having weekly new
paper and have offered satisfactory
business inducements to Mr.. Town
send.

Grays Defeat Independents

Several hundred people who sat
beneath a burning sun at the Morris
fair grounds Sunday afternoon saw
the Benson Graya defeat the Morris
Independents in closely contested
game. It was pitchers battle and
resulted in scoreof 8 to 6.
Buttellsa was the Independents
mound artist and Peter Munlux caught
the game. Buttell was in fine trim
and succeeded in hulding down the
figures in the hit column. In several
pinches he frightened up and retired
the side with strike-outs. Markie
was the star of the day. He secured
three safe hits and contributed heavily
to the scoring.
Aside from minor disputes on the de-
cisions of the umpire the game pro-
gressed smoothly, all of which was
highly appreciated by the spectators.

BIRD LAWS TO Be
STRICTLY ENFORCED
Sportsmen Warned that Federal
Regulations on Wild Fowl
Must be Observed

SpOrtsmen who expect to be in the
field during the coming hunting season
are being warned by the department
of agriculture at Washington that the
Federal regulations for the protection
of wild fowl in Minnesota will be
strictly enforced this season. Some
misunders tanding has arisen from the
fact that the various state laws do
not always conform to the Federal re-
gulations. The Minnesota game laws
are little more restrictive than the
Federal laws and in this case the state
law will hold.
The only serious difference between
the Minnesota laws and the Federal
laws is that the Federal law will in
sist that shooting will be prohibited
between sunset and sunrise. Waterfowl,
Rails, Coots. Gallinules, BIack-breast-
ed and Golden Plover, Jacksnipes and
Yellowlegs are on the list. Federal
regulations divide the United States
into two zones-the breeding zone
and the wintering zone. Minnesota
is included in the first. The depart
ment will consider any recommends.
tiors made in good faith for amend
ment of the regulations, but will
hold no public hearings thereon, nor
will it amend the regulations prior
TO Oct. Is. 1t is the purpose of
the department to conform the regula-
tions to the wishes of the majority
of the sportsmen SO far as it can be
done and at the same time give the
wild fowls the necessary protection.
The shooting season in this state
opens Sept. Z, and closes December I.

Sheriff F. A. Zahl

later investigation revealed that what
ever the history of the stone, it hard
ly could have been. intended as hoax.
1t was uncovered by a plnw in a
level field and was under the roots of a
cottonwood tree described as being
anywhere, from 25 to 20 years DID,
That it had lain in the place for many
years was evident from the shape of
the roots grown over and around the
stone, which had grown fat from the
pressure.
The stone was plowed up accidentally
by Mr. Gilman, and only hia two sons
we're in the Geld. 1t was argued that
if it had been hoax that the
discovery would have been made long
before. or at least that much
publicity would have attended the find.
Mr.. Gilman thought nothing of it
and the stone was kicked around in
his yard until some neighbors
mentioned it's existence in town.
1t is set forth in the publication
that the tree was growing long
before Grant county was settled and
that no practical jokers. ever would
have planted their joke in wilderness
where their chances of finding it were
about 1000 to 1. The stone is still
historical riddle.

ALL HUNTERS MUST
SECURE A LICENSE
State Requires a Fee of 81 for
Shooting Game Birds in
Minnesota this Fall

Owing to change in the game
laws in this state hunters who have
been in the habit of getting the
limit in days gone by will be able otto
do their work in half the time during
the coming hunting season. The
new law limits the daily bag of
some birds to ten and the number
allowed in possession to thirty.
This applies to all game birds except
wild ducks. of which fifteen may be
taken in day and forty five to be
had in possession. The new law has
closed the shooting of woodcock.
turtle doves and upland and golden
plover until Sept. Z, 1913. Shooting
around Morris is going to be good
this year and local hunters are post
ing themselves on the requirement of
the new hunting laws.
Because members of the last leg
islature decided that the best way
to retain the game and fish commis-
sion was to tax the hunter every man
who goes aield with gun this fall
must pay the county auditor fee of
ST. The license permits the holder
to hunt anywhere IN the state but he
must be resident of Minnesota be-
fore he can secure the license. How
ever, no license is needed to hunt on
your own land. Failure to secure a
license renders the hunter liable to a
fine of $25 and 80 days in jail.
1t will be unlawful to pursue and
shoot wild ducks on the open water OF
any lake, and limits the building OF
blinds to natural vegetation. Hunt
ing with gasoline launch is prohibit
ed. Watercraft must be propelled
by oars, paddle or pole in hand.
/ County Auditor WoIlthan will re.
ceive ten cents out uf the ST. license
fee for every license issued in Stevens
county and the other 90 will be placed
in the state treasury to the credit o1

LAWLER WILL SUE
CITY FOR $1,000
Alleges Property Damage When
City Agent Siverts Made
Filling on Sixth Street

The city of Morris will have a
chance t. defend damage suit in the
next term of the district court unless
satisfactory settlement is made
before that time with James T. Law.
Ter. property owner on East Sixth
street. Mr.. Lawler states the city's
scheme for identifying the street and
providing clear view or the school
house to people on Atlantic avenue
has damaged his residence property
more than one :housand dollars worth
but he will be satisfied with that
figure, Other property owners
agree with Mr.. Lawler and they are
contemplating instituting damage
suits also.
Some weeks ago the necessity of
lowering Sixth street and the walks
on the south side of the street for a
distance of block or more was dis
cussed oy the city commission and it
was decided to 60 ahead with the
work. Funds were appropriated and
City Manager Siverts was instructed
to run the lines and establish the side
walk grade. Work on depressing the
street was begun last week and is
still! in progress. Some of the dirt
was dumped in the side hill in front
of the Lawler lots, raising the street
and walks about four feet This
left the Lawler property, along with
the adjoining lots, less desirable for
residence pu, poses and the property
owners feel they have been greatly
damaged.
First steps in the action to be COM
menced by Mr.. Lawler to recover for
bis losses were taken the first of the
week when he retained Attorney
Cherry to draw up the papers and pro-
coed with the matter in the courts.
The complaint ALLEGES that by reason
of the ling instead of lowering the
street Immediately in front of Mr..
Lawler's lots the property is sub
merged and its value destroyed for
residence purppses. 1t is contended
that the city manager held no consulta-
tion with the property owners whose
property would be affected regarding
the proposed changes, and no time
was given then to remonstrate.
To all appearances the street lead
ing to the school house has been great.

the German answer TO the American
governments note concerning Ger

hrst draft of the document presum-
ably will be finished al the end Of this
week As the reply this time will be
submitted TO Emperor William at head
quarters after IL is threshed out be-

probably will not be ready for trans
mission before the middle or the end
of next week.
No indication OF the probable nature
of the note is yet obtatnable. The al
legged armament of the Lusitania prob
ably will not figure prominently in the
next note. Considerable testimony has
been assembled regarding the presence
of guns aboard the Lusitanis. but 1t all
refers TO voyages prior to the one on
which the Lusitania was sunk. although
some of IL touches on trips made since
the war began.
