kunkle Found Guilty.

The case of the State of Minnesota
VS.. Fritz Kunkle, charged with main
tanning an unlicensed drinking place,
came on for trial before Justice Dick
ey at the court house hall Monday af-
ternoon, without a jury. County At
torney Myron appeared for the state,
and Attorney Frank White Of Elk
River for the defendant.
The state summoned five witnesses
Sheriff Harry Shockley, Deputy
Sheriff H. L. Shockley and L. E. Fox,
who made the raid mentioned last
week, and Messrs. Andrew Bryson and
G. H. Gottwerth. The most damaging
feature of the evidence against Kun
kle was the fact that the three officers
who made the raid all swore that
Kunkle had admitted to them that be
had disposed Of liquor illegally. Mr..
Bryson stated that he had on various
occasions seen people enter the Kun
kle premises and emerge therefrom in
hilarious condition, while Mr.. Gott-
werth stated that he lived too far
away from the defendant to know
anything Of the case. All the Witness
es testified that they had never seen
any drinking on the premises; neither
had they seen any liquor purchased
there. All in all the evidence was
hardly conclusive.
The defendant took the stand him
self, and denied admitting to anyone
that he was guilty of disposing Of in
toxicants illegally. He also stated
that on the day the raid was made, he
rounded out 81 years Of existence on
this earth and was having party in
commemoration of the anniversary of
his birth. He denied all charges pre-
ferred against him, and Messrs. John
Dalchow and Carl Rick, who have
known Kunkle for years, testified that
his reputation as a peaceful, law
abiding and truthful citizen, was
good. .'
The pleas of the attorneys were
short, and at the conclusion thereof
Justice Dickey pronounced Kunkle
guilty, and sentenced him to pay a
fine of $50 and costs Of prosecution, or,
in default Of payment Of same, to
serve so days in Jail.
On motion of defendants attorney
a stay of sentence of 80 days was
granted, to afford an opportunity to
appeal to the district court. A bond
in the sum of $500 was furnished by
Kunkle, and the case will undoubtedly
be carried up.

Five Charged With Rigging"

Five minnows were gathered into the
blind pig net Tuesday, when Dan Mir
lex, VIM. Mirick, Louis Stumm, Fritz
Kunkle and Laurence Doyle were ar
rested by Sheriff Shockley on COM
plant of Rudolph Anhaultz, charged
with disposing of intoxicants without
a license. They were brought before
Justice Dickey the same day, all waiv-
ed examination, and were bound over
to the grand jury in the sum Of $500
each. -
Anhaultz is detective, who has
been in this vicinity the past few
weeks operating as painter and paper
hanger. His real object was to secure
evidence against violators Of the liquor
laws, but those that the finger of sus-
picion points strongest against evil
IDENTIFY were too wary to be caught.
And they will undoubtedly be even
more cautious in the future. s

The Senatorial Situation.


"Bob" Dunn has analysed the sena-
torial situation in this way: eff Sena-
tor Clapp is reelected Senator Nelson
should be recalled. An endorsement
of Mr.. Clapp means a reputation of
Mr.. Nelson" Mr.. Dunn has stated the
case as it appears to the Tribune. Mr..
Clapp and Mr.. Nelson seldom agree
on anything in the senate, and, so
far as their votes go, they counteract
each other and Minnesota would be
reduced to negative quantity, except
for the fact that there is no man of
greater influence in the senate than
Mr.. Nelson. Now, Minnesota's vote
ought to be worth something one way
or the other. If the people of the state
think Senator Nelson is representing
them about as they would like to be
represented they are hardly justified
in giving him for a colleague one who
takes issue with him and votes against
him on every question of great i'm
portance. On the other hand, if they
disapprove of Senator Nelson and wish
to indicate that disapproval, the best
way available now is to send back Sen
ator Clapp to continue his opposition
to the senior senator. We should say
that as an analyzer Mr.. Dunn has done
a good job.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Fire Wipes. Out Dwelling House.

Fire of an unknown origin destroyed
the VIM. Miller residence and practic-
ally all of it's contents Monday morn
ing at 1890 o'clock. Had it not been
for the efficient work of the fire de-
partment, there is no doubt but what
numerous other buildings would have
been wiped out or badly damaged, as
high wind prevailed and various
dwellings became ignited. The de-
partment boys were on the scene i'm
mediately after the sounding of the
alarm, but they realized that to at
tempt to save the Miller residence
would be futile, and confined their
efforts to preventing damage to other
property. Their work was commend
ed by all.
Mrs. Miller was in the house, but
she has no idea as to where or how
the fire started. The first she knew of
it, the flames appeared everywhere.
Mrs. Miller rushed upstairs to get her
watch, but the fire and smoke pre-
vented her from returning by way of
the stairs, and she was forced to Jump
from the window. A sprained ankle
resulted.
The loss is not definitely known, but
it was only partially covered by in
surance. There was $1,000 on the
building and $1,000 on the furniture.

Cambridge Choral Union Coming.

&
"The Holy City," a sacred cantata
by Alfred R. Gaul, will be- presented
at the Princeton armory next Monday
evening by the Cambridge Choral
Union, and no music lover Of this vi
entity should fail to attend.
Under the direction of Mr.. C. H.
Sutherland our neighboring village
has developed a chorus of unusual
merit, and this is it's third successful
season in the entertainment field.
Princeton citizens should accord the
visiting organization generous at
tendance. Last year the ,hospitable
residents of Cambridge gave the
Princeton fair boosters royal recep-
ton, and this will be our first oppor-
tunity to reciprocate. 49, -,
This is not the prime reason for at
tending, however, as the entertain
ment is bound to please-it comes very
highly recommended. Besides the
chorus selections there will be orches-
ira numbers, and vocal solos, Duets
and quartets that will delight all. The
soloists include Mrs. H. A. Peterson,
soprano; Miss Martina Erickson, con-
tralto;, Mr.. Paul Bloom; tenor; and
Mr.. C. H. Sutherland, bass.
The Union sincerely hopes that the
attendance will more than measure up
to the expectations Of the visitors
from our neighboring village.

NEW STATE HALL.LL.. l. FOR WY OMIN G
 LEGISLATORS

LARAMIE. Wyoming. Dec. g. - When the Wyoming legislature meets next year, it will hold it's sessions in it's new quarters, two wings to the capitol which have been under con struction for many months being sche- duled to be ready for occupancy on January 1.
 The additions, built of Rawlins stone, steel and concrete, are to be fireproof. They will cost $40, ,790, and will harmonize architecturally with the original structure
 Interior decorations are to follow the designs of Allan True, a Denver artist, and will be in oils.
 The old chambers are to be cut up into committee and office rooms, of which there will be sixteen on each floor. The library is to be given new and larger quarters under the hall of of the house of representatives. The old library will be divided into office rooms. So will the space beneath the new senate hall.

PORTLAND WILL. TAKE UP RATE
 QUESTION

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. g. - Trans continental freight rates and those to intermediate points, which have been protested by cities in the intermoun- tain territory, and which would in crease present rates a maximum of 10 cents hundred pounds from east ern defined territory to the Pacific coast, are to be the subject of a hear ing here Monday before Attorney-Ex- aminer Thurtell of the Interstate Com merce Commission.
 This hearing Is one Of the several that the commission has and will hold in the next few weeks, the first hay ing been held in Chicago, from where the Interstate Commerce Commission representative went to Salt Lake City Other hearings have been held at San Francisco. There also will be a hear ing at Spokane and one at Washington later this month.
 Rates involved in these hearings have been the subject of difficulties between the shippers and railroads for the last twelve years. They involve, it is said, an interpretation of the fourth section of the Interstate Com merce Act, or what is known as the long and short haul clause. For years the intermountain points have conten- ded that they have been discriminated against in favor of the Pacific coast ports in spite of the longer haul.
 What arguments will be brought be fore the hearings here by the Port land shippers has not been indicated It is probable. however, their position will be similar to that Of the shippers in San Francisco and other coast ports who are more interested in the rates on eastbound freight, which also in vOlve an increase of 10 cents hun dred pounds. It is believed here that water competition will aid in prevent ing undue increases in rates from east ern defined territory to Portland and vicinity.
 Preparations for the hearing have been under way here for some time. It is believed it will last only a day or two, as the next hearing is sched- uled for Spokane on December 14.

LIKELY IN DELEGATE
 ELECTION

Whether Sulzer wins or whether Wickersham is victorious in the pres. ent election, which will be uncertain until all precincts are reported, it is certain that legal battle will ensue. Sulzer packers are reported to be pre- pairing to protest many of the pre- cincts and 1t is said also that the Wickersham campaign managers are preparing to make a fight. At pres, ent the indications are that the house of representative will be called upon to pass upon the election returns.
 According to information received by the Miner the Wickersham managers are Investigating the pre- cincts in which soldiers voted and may try to have many of them thrown out. particularly Panama and St. Michael. In case Sulzer is found to have a ma jOrity of the votes. rumor has it that Wickersham may go so far as to at tempt to have the whole election held invalid.
 In regard to the soldiers vote, 1t is reported that should Wickersham at tempt to have St. Michael and Tan ana thrown out, the Democrats would ask to have the Fairbanks vote thrown out, as soldiers voted here also.
 In political circles, 1t is rumored also that the people of the Second di- vision did not register as they did in other divisions, and for that reason an attempt may be made to have the whole division thrown out.
 This. in all likelihood, would involve the validity of the election law passed by the last legislature. A number of attorneys questioned as to the act have expressed opinions that part or all of the act is invalid.
 in the Third division politicians on both sides are preparing for a protest, no matter which way the election goes. so that there is no likelihood that the delegate election will be settled definitely until congress passes on it Fairbanks News Miner

TOXIC, Dec. 9. - That the relations between Japan and the United States occupy the minds of the Japanese peo pie has been especially evidence dur ing the last six weeks when a large number of articles concerning that subject have appeared in newspapers and magazines. The authors have ad- dressed themselves with considerable freedom and frankness to the ques tiOn. Most of them have been pru- dent and amicable, seeking to find a solution of matters at issue: others "jingoistic" in tone, have voiced pes simism as to the future The discus sion has hinged largely on China. It Is to be noted, however, that more eminent and representative writers have placed themselves in the first class. while the lesser known and more sensational Japanese commentators belong to the second
 Japan's present unprecedented pros perity which is chiefly due to the Eu ropean war has swept through the em- pire a wave of satisfaction that the nation should be attaining such great material progress, and it has awak- ened all minds to the vast pOssibili- ties of continued and constantly aug menting advance in finance, industry and commerce. Developments are to be noted in all directions and if the war continues for a long period Ja- pans position will be greatly en- hanced. She will reduce her national debt she will expand her already i'm mense shipping she will strengthen her industries, and above all she will extend her commerce. It is the great nation of China to which Japana looks with eager eye for commercial growth and China is the erux of the relations between Japan and the United States in the immediate future.
