From Wilmot Republican

Walter kimdall, known as
Blackv who pleaded guilty in
justice court i'll this city several
weeks ago to a charge of bootlegs-
ing, was taken before Judge Bouck
i'll chambers at Milbank last Sat
urday and given a sentence of
thirty days i'll the county jail and
$50 fine and cost of prosecution.
This probably mean about seventy
days for Blacky"
One important matter the town
of Wllmot is overlooking is the
gross inefflciencv of the fire alarm
and the school bell. Either of
them must be heard to be of any
value, and we have it from a num-
Der of people that they are seldom
heard more than a block or two,
unless weather conditions are ia.
vorable.

FIRE AT HANK1NsoN.

Fire of unk nown origin complete
ly destroyed the Hankinson Opera
House and Helnmiller blacksmith
shop Tuesday night. Only valiant
work by the fire department pre-
vented the spread Of the flames to
adjoining property. Loss $40, 900;
covered by S., zoo insurance.
The fire was discovered shortly
after | CLOCK and had gained
such headwav that it was at once
seen there was no chance to save
the opera house. The blaze appar-
entity originated in the southeast
corner of the opera house, not far
from the drop curtain of the stage
and quickly spread upward so that
when the first hremen responded
to the alarm flames were already
bursting through the roof at the
rear. Only small part of the
contents was removed, including
F. J. Drey's moving pictures ma
chine and some personal belong
ings. The $500 electric piano, all
chairs and furniture, also the lodge
paraphernalia of half a dozen secret
orders, went up in smoke. Hank

The Case Goes to Jury After
Four Days Trial.

Britton, Jan. s-The trial Of
Charles Kinsloe, charged with kill
ling Henry Bureett at New Eden,
Marshall county, on December 4
closed aud the case went to jury
here tonight after a four days trial
Those who have followed the trial
believe that the jury will either find
the defendant guilty OF a low degree
of manslaughter or else will acquit
him on the grounds of jusritlable
homicide.
The evidence educed the facts
that kineloe and Otto Fritz, a Ger
man formerly in the German mari
mes, worked for the Thesis livery
barn at New Eden. December 4th
four Norweigians, including Ber-
gett, drove i'll from west of Roslind.
They became intoxicated during
the day and when they went to the
livery barn to get their team to
drive home, were i'll bad shape.
Fritz had made kettle of soup and
gave each of the boys a bowl They
started to rough it, throwing the
soup about the place until Mr..
Thesis ordered them out.
In the alteration which arose,
one of the Norweigians took off bis
coat. This aroused Fritz and he
went after the bunch One of his
aSSallants drew a knife and another
struck the little German over the
head with a spade. He retreated
lothe livery barn Office where Kin
sloe was. l<insloe told the men he
would shoot the FIRST man TO enter
the office, and tooM q Winchester
shot gun down from the wali.
Be.gett opened the door and when
,oid to get out, advanced into :he
room. When ! feet away klrsloe
fired, five bullets fromthe ? gauge

On the stand kinsloe testified
that he was afraid that if he had
not shot the men would have killed

prosecution by Byron Abbott, the
retiring states attorney, the defense
being conducted by Otto Kaas and

Rumor From Montana Caus-
ing Much Comment.

eral enquiries from Sask atchewan
readers regarding rumors of pro-
posed changes in the boundary line
between western Canada and the
and the nited States. One of the
enquirer says the proposed change
has been the subject OF much talk
all along the southern boundary of
Saskatchewan, and opinion OH the
Canadian side of the line was that
a 2Omile strip from the Great
Lakes to the Pacific was to be ex.
changed for territory in Maine.
Foundation for the rumor is Civ

A telegraghlc dispatch received

has been altered IS miles to the
north, thus taking in that much
Canadian territory into the United
States. This salteration does not
extend the whole length of the
boundary, bnt only from the Pa

The news does not come altogetll-

that United States surveyors were
quietly at work surveying new

that the boundary be located tc

Two Extremes.

Most of you men have seen two
real estate men i'll the same city or
community, and have watched the
difference in their operations. One
of them is a persistent advertiser, a
boomer, booster, ALWAYS talking,
working and preaching the possibil-
tiles OF his community to every one
that he sees. The other is in his
Office most of the time, figuring cal
culating, planning. Each of these
men are necessary to the other and
don t know it, At the end of 25
years work, the man who did the
office work is much the richer, but
he owes his success largely to the
rustling ability of the other kind of
man. He does not admit it even
to himself. He calls him hot air
merchant, a dreamer. but he has
been content to take the business
which has been created, ard has
laid it to his own business sagacitv
that he has made success. The
other man has much less money,
but he is far better known, and
probably has far the greater num-

COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETING
Secretary Cooley of Aberdeen
Makes Address.

One of the biggest meetings
of the Sisseton Commercial Club
was held at the Club rooms last
Wednesday evening when about
a hundred mem bers gathered to
hear an address by Secretary
Fl. O. Cooley of the Aberdeen
Commercial Club. Taking as
his text, Commercial Club, and
community organization work in
general, the speaker talked for
two hours. A deluge of ques-
tions and inquiries followed the
address, because the speaker
touched on practical every day
problems. 1t was effectively a
business talk, pure and simple,
and aroused the interest of the
large croud to such an extent
that the points were driven home
while the large croud remained
to a man until nearly midnight.
The speales said in part:
Cooley's Talk.
Why a Commercial Club?'
understand that is the question you
wish me to speak about, around
over, under and sideways. In dis
cussing this question, should feel
that my pretentions were false in
deed did | merely come to Won
with the tineworn platltudes usual
~ called boosting, and saving the
usual things which are of a blue
sky variety pure and simple, which
raise the ideas of the people gener-
ally to false things, andtry to make
chem believe that by slulpiy main
tanning commercial organization
they would at once begin to build
factories, to have wholesale houses,
to get new railroads, and in short
through 1t gain all of the things
which cities and towns dream of
as being the Utopia of their fondest
Imagination. No, indeed. If a
commercial organization is to be
justified at all, it must be justified
from cold business sense, and not
from any frenzied ideas of gaining
at single stroke great prominence
and affluence To lay the founda-
tion for commercial organizations
on these foundations, is the surest
indication of funeral soon, because
the public mind has been raised
to unreasonable expectations and
after the first flush is over, the dis
appointment that follows is exact
ly the SAME as the man who bucks
the old shell game. Hence unless
l can convince you from your calm
business sense of the desirability of
maintaining such an organization,

any fcticious fertilizer, l shall con-
slider that have failed in what
am trying to do.
