MAGEf Liked BORDER LIFE
FORMER LOCAL BOY 8AYN IN
ENJOYED BEING WITH MI
LITIA IN SOUTH

Lloyd o. Magee of Eveleth wss in
the city Friday for a vidt with his
parents, enroute home from the He1-
can border, where he has been serving
with the Minnesota militia He WW
with the Third regiment;
In speaking of the life on the hor-
der, Mr.. Magee stated that he en-
joyed life in the south, although it
seemed pretty good to be hack in Min
nesota once more. He slid that he did
not believe the time spent ON the bo1-
der accomplished anything toward The
solution of the Mexican proo4em, but
it did tend to make good soldiers out
of the boys and, if occasion arises, he
said, this country will have an efficient
fighting force. He expressed the be-
lief that the soldiers will. be called
out for actual service ere the Mexican
problem is definitely solved.
Mr.. Magee said that the country
where his regiment was stationed was
just the opposite Of what it was call
ed. The land agents have named the
place "the magic. vallev of,GTexas,''
he said, but the soldiers found it any
thing but magic. The first real pros.
perity the people there enjoyed was
after the soldiers started spending
their pay there, he said.
The local boys at the border were
all enjoying good health when he left,
Mr.. Magee said. They were located
only a quarter of mile away from
the Third regiment. Some Of them
were rather anxious to get home for
Christmas, he said, but others said
they would just as soon stay all win
ter. SfS

st: Cloud Journal-Press (13): The
jury in the case Of Phillip .Nardinger
against the Ladies of the Maccabees
of the World returned a verdict last
evening in favor Of the plaintiff, Civ
ing him the full amount of the insur-

The lodge refused to pay the claim
following Mrs. Nardinger' death,
claiming that her demise was due to
complications arising from childbirth,
a clause in the contract cancelling
claims if such was the case. The plain
tiff testified that death resulted from
another cause. A large number of
doctors were on the stand as witnesses
