AGED MAN INJURED
B. T. Mossman, Pioneer Resident, Sc
verely Bruised by Fall on Icy
Steps Last Friday.

B. T. Mossman, one of the pioneer
residents of this section, had the mis-
fortune to slip on the icy steps of his
front porch on Friday last and in fall
ling sustained several severe bruises
on his right side and what is thought
may be fractured hip. The gentle
man is over eighty years of age and,
although he is improving at the pres
ent writing, he has been subjected to
very severe pains. His son, Lew,
who just left for the West after a
several weeks vacation, was called
home and the father is receiving the
best possible care at the hands of the
whole family.

The legislators arrived on the VIM
nipeg Flyer Friday evening and were
taken at once to the School where
they were received by Matron Mrs. F..
F. Morse, assisted by the members of
the Sank Centre Commercial Club
who were especially invited for the
occasion.
The statesmen spent the night at
the home and Saturday morning made
a thorough inspection Of the various
cottages, the Hospital, the Chapel, the
farm, and other points of interest at
the School.
A number of the delegation were
not overly impressed with the institu-
ton before the visit. In fact because
euf reports received they were inclined
to be antagonistic. However, as fair
minded men, their prejudices began to
melt away as the inspection progress
sed.
They were surprised at the work
the girls were doing, the things which
they were taught, the environment
under which they lived and the school
management in general.
However their experience was that
of all people who inspect the school
with an open mind. Mrs. Morse, the
Board of Control and the citizens of
Sank Centre are perfectly willing to
abide by the verdict of any fair mind
ed person who will take the pains to
inspect the work being done there at
any time.
Four of the delegation were men,
bers of the House appropriation COM
mittee and the object of the inspec-
ton was to ascertain at first hand the
needs of the school.
Saturday noon Mrs. Morse gave an
informal luncheon in honor of the Wis
itors attended by several of the bus
mess men of the city.
Saturday afternoon the legislators
were informally entertained by the
Commercial Club at a smoker to
which all the business men and farm
ers of this section were invited.
Something over 100 were present.
Representative Spooner explained at
some length the measure before the
I legislature which would permit using
| of inmates of the Saltwater peniten-
tiary for road work. He was opposed
to this bill not only because it would
come in contact with free labor, but
charged that it was backed by the
machinery trust and was merely an

There will be no racing at either
the Todd or Douglas county fairs, so
that it was deemed best to open the
circuit at Long Prairie. The racing
season will start at Sank Rapids and
then comes the fair in this city. The
racing program will consist of five
races for $500 in cash purses, with
a 500 running race additional.
The secretaries of the fairs have
endeavored to arrange their amuse-
ments so that they will not interlap.
Last year, for instance, Sank Rapids,
Sank Centre and Long Prairie all had
the same attractions, and the result
was that St. Cloud saw them in Sank
Rapids and Sank Centre, and the To-
cal people saw them in this city and
Long Prairie. The amusement fea-
lures to be shown in this city this
year go direct to Alexandria.
Mayor McGibbon received a letter
from Gov. Hammond yesterday in
which he stated he would be pleased
to address the people of Stearns coun-
ty on the last day of the fair.
The premium list is now in process
of making in the Herald office, and if
the advertisers will only turn their
copy in promptly it will be possible
to have the book completed by April
LIST. Secretary Strebel has asked the
Herald to urge advertisers to trun
their copy in not later than March 1st
and they can send it either to Secre-
tary Strebel or to the Herald.
The secretary and fair board have
worked hard to make this years fail

itors than ever before. Approxima-
tely $4,000 has been hung up in prem.
iums and there are several special
prizes for sweepstakes.

of this section, and all citizens are ur.
ged to make this years show bigger

if he could surrender to Mr.. McGib-
bon, he would do so. The Mayor adj
vised him to leave his gun at home,
and he promised to do this, and to
meet Chief of Police Fish near the
brickyar ards north of town about two
o'clock. He was true to his word and
was safely lodged in Jail shortly be-
fore three o'clock this afternoon.
Sheriff Johnson of Todd county has
been notified.
In speaking of the affair, Altenberg
says the whole trouble is a regular
nightmare and does not appear to
have a conception of what transpired.
He does not know that his victim is
dead.

VICTIM OF Wrath
OF BROTHER. |N.LAW
ANTON LARSON, WELL-KNOWN
KANDOTA FARMER, DIES
FROM CRUSHED SKULL.
CHRIS ALTENBERG MURDERER
TRAGEDY TOOK PLACE AT HOME
OF LARSON LATE WEDNES-
DAY EVENING.

Anton Larson, a we'll known Kan
dota township. farmer, residing six
miles northwest of Sank Centre, lies
dead at his home as the result of a
viscious assault by his brother-in-law
Christ Altenberg.
The details of the story are some
what meagre at this writing, but as
near as the Herald can ascertain Al
tenberg went to the home of his
brother-in-law late yesterday after
noon, and about $50 in the evening
became mixed up in an alteration
with Larson, and struck Larson with
his fist. 1t is said that Larson and his
son-in-law, Nels Hanson, grappled
with Altenberg and pinned him to the
floor and held him until he promised
to be good. Upon regaining his feet
he assaulted Hanson, and he was
again taken down. After repeated
promises to behave himself and leave
the premises he was allowed to get up
again, and he Immediately grabbed d
heavy stick of hard stove wood out of
the woodbox and assaulted Larson on
the side of the head, hitting him with
such force that the skull was crushed
and the jaw bone on the other side
broken. Mr.. Larson died this Thurs
day morning at $50.
The Herald understands that Alien
berg hung about the premises for
some little time after the tragedy and
finally made his getaway.
Sheriff Johnson and the Coroner
were notified and an inquest will be
held today, Thursday. Meantime the
Sheriff and Chief of Police Fish of
Sank Centre are attempting to locate
the murderer.
1t is said that Altenberg has always
been possessed of a most vicious tenn
per, and was profuse in his threats of
what he would do under certain con-
ditions. His near relatives were
afraid of him, and Judging by results
he should have been cared for a long
time since.
He resided in Sank Centre for a
time, but little over a year ago he
deserted his sister here and notified
the city authorities that they would
have to care for her. Since which
time he is said to have been living in
a little hut on the north shore of
Fairy Lake, devoting his time to fish
ing, trapping, etc.
He is said to not use intoxicant;s,
excessively at least. He has never
amounted to much, but his uncontrol-
liable temper has got him into more
than one scrape.
The murdered man hay been mar
ried twice, both of his wives being
sisters of Altenberg. Besides the
present wife a large family of chill
dren are left to mourn. He was about
55 years of age.
The murderer is said to be from sc
to 40 years old, and was bachelor.
LATER-3 p. m. Altenberg was
seen going north on the Great Nor
thern tracks early this morning. by
Winn Lamb who notified Mayor Nc
Gibbon. After considerable telephon-
ing Altenberg was located just about
noon at the home of Gus Emblum, a
son-in-law of Larson, and consented
to talk with the Mayor. McGibbon adj
vised him to give himself up. Alien
berg demurred at this and claimed
to be afraid of violence, but after the
Mayor assured him he would receive
ample protection, he finally said that
