BATTLES FORERUNNER.

Dr. l.. G. Hartman, candidate foy
candidate, and remembered also by his
candidacy in 1914 has given notice by
Lis words and actions that Georgia is
apt to see some lively stunts in poll
tics so far as his race is concerned.
The Macon convention, so the doctor
states, will come in for a share of at
tention. That gathering went down in
history, and we are loath to have it
aired again.
1t is hard to believe that anything ell
eyating in a campaign could come
from that famous meeting, so we would
request the doctor to please give the
Hublic such treatment in broken and
diluted doses-certainly, not in the
same manner, shape and form as it was
made.
Dr. Hardman seems to be obessed
with the idea that the campaign of 191 (
was quiet-and this will not be quiet
year in the gubernatorial race. The
public is being prepared for the worse
by natural evolution of events. So if
the Transforming" expedition, as
prophesied comes it will not be uneX-
.pected.

HUNTERS bringing.
INNUMEROUS deer.
ONLY ONE PARTY RETURNS
WITH LESS THAN LIMIT AL
LOWED BY LAW.
WOODS THRONGED BY HUNTERS
UNUSUAL SHOOTING AND LACK
OF SNOW MAKE CONDITIONS
UNFAVORABLE.

Big game hunting parties who went
from here to the north woods in quest
OF deer, moose and bear are gradually
returning and as rule each has
brought back his limit of venison.
Thus far there are only three individ-
ual exceptions but all the parties COL
lectively got good bags. Claims are
universal that the hunting this fall is
the most difficult in years. The grouno
is barren Of snow and the woods are
the noisiest they have been in the
memory Of the oldest hunter and
woodsmen. The big timber is fairly
alive with hunters.
The first to return were Alex and
Henry Benson, who left on the sixth
and returned on the sixteenth, Alex
bringing home the biggest buck of the
season, a big eleven-pronged fellow
weighing 220 pounds. Henry brought
down fine doe. The Bensons hunt
ed with R. L. Palmer of Little Falls,
formerly of this city, and a party of
five others in the Big Fork region.
Every man got his deer and one of
the party bagged monster Canadian
lynx.
Next came C. S. Allen, Geo. Engle
and j. H. Jenkins, who arrived Tues
day from their hunting grounds in the
Boy River country. A fourth mo-.
Der of the party was A. w. jenkins
OF Little Falls, son of J. H. Jenkins.
All of the quartet made their licenses
good, the bag being two bucks, one
doe and one fawn, the weight totalling
$50 pounds.

the party composed of Mayor Henne-
mann, George Fish, George Rice, Will
liam Otto, James McCracken, E. A.
Richards, Ed Evans and Isaac Lay
man of Minneapolis. They had hunt
ell on their old grounds in the Big
Fork region but reported the wooo
full of hunters and shooting difficult.
However, they returned with three
bucks and two fine does, the largest
bdck tipping the scales at 1914 pounds

lad LOSES FIGHT
WITH GUN WOUND
ANTON WIENER SUCCUMBS TO
ACCIDENTAL INJURY IN.
FLICTED BY BROTHER
Death DUE TO PERITONITls
FUNERAL SERVICES WILL BE
HELD SATURDAY MORNING
AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH

Anton Wiener, the young son of
Mrs. John Wiener, residing south Of
the city, who was accidentally shot by
his brother, Frank, while duck hunt
ing on the river bottom a week ago
last Sunday, died at $50 o'clock this
Thursday morning at the DR.. A. F.
Moynihan home-hospital. Death re-
suited from peritonitis.
The lad made gallant fight for his
life, but the odds were too great
against him owing to the large loss of
blood before surgical attendance could
be procured. Until last Sunday the
physicians had hopes of his recovery,
but on that day inflammation set in
and peritonitis developed.
Monday all members of the family
were summoned, as it was thought
death was near. However, late in the
afternoon, the lad rallied and hopes
were again established. He fought
nobly through Tuesday and Wednes-
day against the encroachment Of the
inflammation, but during last night his
vitality was exhausted through lack
of blood and he collapsed. The end
followed rapidly. Because of his
splendid condition Wednesday evening
all members of the family had gone
to their homes exceps the mother and
she was the only member of the fam
lily at the bedside when the end came
The setting in of peritonitis came
somewhat as surprise to the doc
tors because of the lapse of time,
week having transpred since the &C
cident. 1t is presumed that one or
more of the little leaden pellets from
the shotgun penetrased the peritone--
um beyond the search allowed because
of the nature of the wound and the
low vitality of the Lao due from blood
loss.
Arrangements have been made to
hold the funeral services Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock at ST. Paurs
church with Rev. FIR. Art officiating.
Interment will be in St. Paul's ceme-

Danger Turks In
SEATING on the Lake
Ice HOneycOmbed With Air Holes
Little Harold Cliff Nearly Loses
His Life.

The Herald warns parents that skat-
ing on Sank Lake at the present time
is extremely dangerous and hazar-
dous. A Herald representative made
All investigation of ice conditions late
Wednesday afternoon and also inter
viewed many older skaters who had
been on the lake. The opinion of all
was that it was unsafe to skate. Since
last Sunday the ice has been rotting
until it is honeycombed with treacher-
Gus air holes. There are spots where
the ice is seemingly firm, but these
spots are surrounded with danger.
Parents should keep their children off
the ice until after heavy freeze.
Numerous skaters have gone
through the ice in the last few days
and in one instance tragedy nearly re-
suited. Last Sunday six-year-old
Harold Cliff, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Cliff, while gliding on the ice
with his sled, shot into a big air hole.
Harold Brown and Dwight Hansen,
both youngsters, went to the rescue
of the lad and only their heroic efforts
saved the life of the child. Both
risked their own lives in the rescue
work.
Young Brown saw the Cliff boy
slide into the death trap. The sled
disappeared under the ice, leaving
the Cliff child laundering in the wa
ter The lad, too, would have slid un-
der, except that his head struck the
ice on the opposite side, of the hole
enough to throw him upward. 3
Young Brown skated to the hole
and, lying, prone, grasped the Cliff
lad by the hair and one arm, holding
him up4nntil Dwight Hansen could
skate ub. Between the two they were
able toipuli the boy from the water.
The lads were repeatedly compelled to
take new positions because of the
breaking ice. But for their prompt
assistance, the Cliff lad would have
sunk in ten feet of water. Neither
the Brown or Hansen boy realized the
risk they were taking until after the
rescue had been made. Several other
lads have broken through but not
with such great possibilities of trag-
edv Skaters should keep off the ice

School for GOrls

Long Prairie has deserved wide
spread reputation for neighborliness
and fratemalism. No town IN the

ali times to extend the glad hand to
the other fellow and to visit with him
in his own home town. What is more,
the men have nothing on the women
when it comes to this spirit.
Here is an example. > Wednesday,
just before the noon hour. four big
autos whirled into the city across the
bridge from the north. Each of the
cars was loaded with women passen-
gers and women were at the steering
wheels. There was not, man in the
crowd. = Disseminating at the Palmer
House garage, they stormed the hotel
and made it plain they had Keen APP

were sixteen in the party and Nine
Hostess Dubeau stood aghast for a
moment but rose to the occasion and
the visitors had jolly dinner party.
Inquiry revealed they came from
Long Prairie. Selecting Mrs. Rudolph
Lee, wife of the editor of the Long

tions, the Herald ascertained that dur
ing the morning the ladies decided it
was fine day for an auto ride and
that Sank Centre would be a fine
place to; visit. Suiting action to
thought they were in Sank Centre
three hours later. After taking in the
town they paid a visit to the Home
School on their way homeward.

Most School Aid
Local District Receives Sum From
State Largely in Excess of
Others.

Sank Centre school district receives
this year total of $10,329.61 from
the state aid and the regular semi-an-
nual school apportionment. This
amount is greatly in excess of that
received by any other district in
Stearns county, the nearest approach
being the St. Cloud district with a
total of $5,57S.82. The figures speak
for themselves regarding the excel
lence and magnitude of the local pub
lie educational system, as compared
with any other in this region.
More than $68,OOO was sent out this
week to the various school districts by
County Auditor Thomey and of this
Sank Centre district received nearly
one-seventh Of the total.

1898 students who are entitled to
share in the semi-annual apportion-
ment, the county receiving $32,554.66.
This is divided according to attend
ance figures and the districts share as
follows: st. Cloud, $3,478.82; Sank
Centre, $2,237.16; sPaynesville, ST.
O96.86; Melrose, $847.O8; Clearwater,
$13O.32, with smaller districts receiv-
ing smaller amounts.
The state aid amounts to $35 ,455 .O5
and the. distribution is based on the
qualifications of the various schools
and the courses that they have in
stalled. 1t was here that the Sank
Centre district made its big showing,
receiving $8,O92.45 as against $1,000
for the St. Cloud district, $2,838 for
Melrose and $2,O64.5O for Paynesville.
