PLAGUE GERM HAS

Spread of InfantiIe Paralysis
Through Mail Order Goods
Believed to be Fact

Startling developments have come
to light in the infantile paralysis in
vestigations conducted in various
parts of the country and now the
mail order houses in the large cities
are accused of a new offense. The
finger of suspicion points in their
direction and medical authorities of
the country believe they will lay the
spread of contagion at their doors.
Stevens county people who have been
hypnotized into the belief that mail
order houses deal justly may sudden
ly discrover that they get more than
bargained for upon remittance of the
money.
Several notable cases were brought
~ ~ ',-nt last week in Wisconsin where
all the children in single family
were stricken when they donned
cheap underwear bought from cat
alogue house. Tracing the garments
to the factory under the roof of a we'll
known mail order concern it was found
that two of the girls who ran the
machines were afflicted with the
plague. Although i'll in mild form
the girls had continued at their
machines fearing loss of time and a
reduction of their paltry wage.
Besides, they felt financially unable

Whether or not the few cases re-
ported in this county can be con-
nected with a mail order concern has
not been determined. The patients
have or are on the road to recov-
cry and during the treatments health
conditions were improved by clean
up process and fumigation. "Par-
alysis germs may be introduced in
many ways" said a local doctor
yesterday. "They have their own
peculiar style of flirting with person
and there is no telling how long per
son will carry the disease till it breaks
out in a more or less violent attack.
The conditions in the garment fac
tories and mail order houses are
known to be ideal for the spread of |
plague although sanitary conditions
are enforced more and more rigidly. |
People who receive goods, especially
clothing, from these places are taking
long chance"

POSSE HUNTS MAN:
LYNCHINC FEARED
Brutal Crime Near Grand Rapids
Stirs Whole State-Morris
Man to Prosecute

Fired with excitement and anger to
a degree never before known in
northern Minnesota, citizens of Grand
Rapids and several neighboring WILL
ages in Itasca county are engaged in a
man hunt this week. for fiend who
assaulted Olga Dahl, a pretty Grand
Rapids school teacher, tied her to a
tree, shot her twice in the head with
SO calibre revolver and left the girl
to die at lonely spot in the woods y
mile from her school Thursday morn
ing last week. The girl is being
cared for at the home of Grand Rapids
people where she may recover. Her
assailant will, in all probability, be
lynched if found, owing to the uncon-
trollable excitement which prevails
and in that case Attorney Ralph
Stone, son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Stone, ST., Of this city, who is the
present Itasca county attorney will
be saved the task of prosecuting
most depraved criminal. In the mean
time Mr.. Stone and Sheriff Gunder-
son are leaving no stone unturned to
find the fiend who committed the
crime, and they hope the law will
be permitted to take its course
when the man is apprehened.
Early Wednesday morning last
week a young man appearing to be
about Is years of age and fairly we'll
dressed appeared at the home where
Miss Dahl was boarding. He asked
for breakfast and was accommodated
after which he disappeared without
offering to settle for the meal, or ex-
pressing his thanks. The same eve
ming when Miss Dahl closed her school
the man accosted her and at the point
of revolver compelled her to enter
the woods, to spot mile away
where searchers found her, late next
day. When found she was tied to
small tree. She had been assaulted
and shot twice in the head, one shot
entering the left temple and emery
ing through the left eye, the other
bullet entering the left cheek and
lodging in the right jaw bone. She
was unconscious and had bled pro-
fusely. Beside the girl were her
dinner pail, an alarm clock and school
house keys. Nearby were a razor,
note book and a note, an envelope
bearing the address of James Dawson,
Bena, Mimi, and on the note was
scrubbed: "You are too pretty to
live. You are better off dead.
I'll fix you. If anyone will find
this body I'll see you later The
embers of bonfire which the girls
assailant had built during the night
were still smoldering when the re-
scuers arrived.
Doctors are in constant attendance
upon the girl and it is believed she
will recover because of her remark
able vitality. One eye has been re-
moved and the bullet was extracted
from the jaw and unless septic poi
soning sets in Miss Danl has a good
chance for recovery. After regaining
consciousness, which was several
hours after she was taken from the
woods, she was questioned but was
not allowed to give detailed descrip-

friends farewell last Tuesday morning.
Their destination is Fort Morgan, near
which place they will make their home

country and the fellow who is FORUM

vens county will come out all right
providing he keeps it. In my opinion
Stevens county has great future. "

learned to prove that the man who
assaulted and shot her was the same
man who had breakfast at her board

and left her lying in a pool of blood
on the assumption that she was dead.

The Cameo Brooch

Crewe, left alone in that back
room of his own resort, reseated him

utter silence opposite hts employer;

Crewe directed the bartende. 20 bring

package wrapped in tissue paper from
the middle drawer behind the bar.
He had devoted merely me swift
glance upon 1t when Sindahr gave 1t

that the juggler had not attempted
one of his tricks! now he removed
the tissue wrapping and put the won

and for more than minute sit quite

And Christy passed around the ta-
BILE and bent familiarly over Crewe's
chair to observe it also.

brooch is almost priceless in value"'
Crewe remarked at last, without rails
ing his eyes. This is one of six ar
dcles that disappeared from the home
of Richard Delorme tonight; but this
one cameo, If offered to a collector
such as Mr.. Morgan was, would have
brought a price greater than the sum
of all the others.

Vienna Onyx-with the difference
that the original is nine by eight
inches while this one is five by four
Still 1t is replica in all save size
done by the same hand. The cary

ton of the Emperor Augustus. No
wonder Sindahr could not resist it,"
He wrapped it again in the tissue
paper and slowed it away in one oil
his pockets.
"Your last remark reminds me OF
something that wished to say to
you," Christy replied with an entire
absence of the slang he was accus
toned to using, "Sindahr will Kill

"Come on, then. Christy can do
the closing" and he led the way to
the back room.
"Crewe," Bunting began when the
three were seated together at the one
big round table that it contained, "do

about it for week, so why shouldn't

"That is just the point, Crewe.
Some of those presents were lifted,
and by a gun who was so slick that

and who was in the room all the time,
never had a chance to drop to it."
"Well, what's the answer, Bunt.

"Muchmore and l believe that you

poor way tonight, if he wished me to
do him favor. He has insulted me
twice, and without reason.
'Unless he apologies fully and
completely, and does it in the pres

with you, either, so long as you re-
main his sidepartner. You have got
nothing on me. don't need you or
want you-and l won't stand for that
sort of talk"
"And if he will apologize"
II won't, so that ends it." Much
more interrupted, his temper again at
white heat.
The mere idea that he should be
called up to apologize to the keeper
Of resort for Crooks and thieves
to that man Crewe, who was widely
supposed to condone every form of
vice save one-to the protector of
criminals enraged him beyond
words.
He started to his feet in storm OF
fury, reaching for his weapon as he
did so: but it was his own partner
Bunting, who siezed his arm ano held

Crewe sat perfectly still, the blem
ish on his face glowing hideously un
der the electric-bulb over the table.
Then, when that first paroxism OF
rage had passed, when Bunting had
released his partners arm, Crew c
