Fatal Accident.

A sad accident occurred last Friday
afternoon in the town Of Stanford,
Isanti county, in which Fred c., son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Most, lost his
life. 1t appears that the Inflated
young man and Ernest Busch were
saving trees for logs on the Most
farm. A tree that they had felled
toppled over, and a large splinter was
hurled through the air, striking Fred
on the side of the head. His neck was
broken, and death resulted almost in
stantly.
Funeral services were conducted
from the German Lutheran church in
Stanford, Tuesday afternoon, and in
terment was in the Grown cemetery.
Fred Most was born in Stanford 10
years ago, and was a young man who
enjoyed the friendship Of all who had
formed his acquaintance. That he
should be removed from earthly scenes
in such unexpected and shocking a
manner is indeed to be regretted. The
parents, four sisters and brother
survive him.

A Pleasant Affair.

The reception given at the Armory
Saturday evening for the board of ed
ucation of Independent district No. 1
and the faculty Of the Princeton
schools, by the Woman's Civic Better
ment club was most enjoyable affair.
The Armory was appropriately decor
ated for the occasion, and the high
school orchestra furnished pleasing
music during the evening.
Refreshments were served and Miss
es Mary Shockley and Eta Davis pre-
sided at the punch bowls with their
usual charm.
The teachers and board of education
were pleased to be given an oppor-
tunity to meet the patrons of the
school in a social way, the only regret
being that more parents were not in
attendance.
At the close of the reception short
but entertaining program was carried
out. Mr.. S. S. Peterson and the high
school orchestra favored those present
with severaM selections delightfully."-
rendered, and were generously ap-
plauded. Mrs. H. L. Cowles, the pre-
siding officer, gave a short talk out
lining the purpose" and object of the
club and Attorney E. L. Mcmillan,
Mayor Newbert and Supt. Marshall re-
sponded, giving much encouragement
to the new organization.
The club desires to thank those who
assisted them in making the affair a
success, and especially are the mem
bers grateful to Co. G for generously
allowing them the use of the Armory.

they are to be commended upon their
promptness.

they are to be commended upon their
promptness.
A fair sized crowd of spectators
was on hand during the count, and
watched proceedings with interest.
Messrs. Newbert and Neumann ran
neck and neck throughout the count,
and alternated in maintaining lead
of few votes. They were tied at sew
eral stages, and interest was more
than keen when the last few votes
were reached.
The race between Messrs. Smith
and Stark was second in interest, and
at no time did great margin separate
the two candidates. Both Smith and
Newbert gained after the last 10 or
Is ballots were reached.
The election passed off quietly, and
there are no indications that there are
any sore spots. This is as it should
be, and all should cooperate with the
council in making Princeton more de-
sirable as place of residence than
ever.

Anent Teachers Retirement Fund.

The following communication receiv-
ed by County Superintendent Ewing,
from the office of E. T. Critchett, secre-
tary of the Minnesota Teachers Insur-
ance and Retirement Fund, is self
explanatory, and will doubtless prove
interesting to those engaged in the
teaching profession:
ut is optional with teachers who
were employed in the public schools of
Minnesota during the school year 1914
1915, and who were employed on April
20, 1915, whether they join the Retire.
ment Fund or not. All teachers en-
ployed after the passage of that law,
who were not employed during the
school year 1914-1915, automatically
become members of the Fund and as
such must pay assessment"

would be the winner. When the count
was completed the tally sheet show
ed that there was difference Of only
one vote between the two leading may
orality candidates, and this vote was
in Mayor Newbert's column. This is
an extremely narrow margin, and
there is talk Of a recount. 1t is doubt
full, however, if recount would
change the result.
Of the old council G. H. Gottwerth
was reelected, and his colleagues will
be Geo. P. Ross and J. A. Smith. Frank
Herschel refused to run for reelection
and Councilman Oscar Stark was out
distanced by Mr.. Smith, who came
under the wire with four votes to
spare. Smiths election came as a
surprise to some, as he was an elev-
enth-hour candidate. Messrs. Gott-
werth, Ross and Smith are level-head-
ed business men and the affairs Of the
village will be in able hands while they
serve. Mr.. Stark was appointed to
the council to fill the vacancy created
by Mr.. Newbert's elevation to the
presidency, and filled the position
creditably.
Treasurer J. C. Herdliska was re-
elected without opposition and Re-
corder Cravens was reelected over
Ray Bockoven by substantial ma
jority. Mr.. Bockoven's name was
placed on two sets of ballots by his
friends, without his knowledge, we
are informed, and under the circum-
stances the outcome was not surpris-
ing. Messrs. Herdliska and Cravens are
competent to discharge the duties of
their respective offices in a faultless
manner, and can be depended upon to
do the right thing
John Kaliher was elected justice of
the peace, and L. F. Wilkes had easy
going for reelection as constable. JUS
tice Dickey's name did not appear upon
more than one of the tickets, which
proved considerable Of a handicap.

candidates and the votes received by
them:

State Road Fund Apportionment.

Last week the state highway COM
mission apportioned the state road and
bridge fund among the eighty-six
counties of the state. On the whole
it is fair apportionment. The appor-
tionment is as follows:

present, and after he explained that
the bridge combine would be the chief
beneficiary if the proposed changes
were adopted, the letter was tabled by
an almost unanimous vote. The bridge
companies do not relish having their
work carefully scrutinized by ex-
perts.
A motion to have bridge put in to
span the river at the point in Prince
ton town where the Sadley bridge is
now located, was withdrawn, and the
matter was left to the town board.

TOWNSHIP RESULTS
Princeton Town Meeting, Held in Vii
lage, is Well Attended by Rep
resentative Farmers.
Election Returns From Various Points
in the Counties of Mile Laos
Sherburne and Isanti.

The annual election of Princeton
township on Tuesday passed off quiet
ly, and only al votes were polled.
Last year the total vote was 217, but
the '*wet' and '*dry" question was then
an issue.
There were three candidates for
supervisor to succeed VIM. Klingbeil,
the retiring member, and Henry Kun
KEEL was returned the winner, but he
had only one vote to spare. The vote
was as follows: Henry Kunkel, 81;
Peter Henschel, so; Reinhart Manke,
81. Mr.. Klingbeil was not candidate
for reelection, but he leaves the posi-.
ton with an excellent record.
Albert Kuhfeld, the popular and
efficient town clerk, had no opposition
for reelection. He has served for
years, and being thoroughly familiar
with township affairs makes an ex-
cellent clerk. Dave Wetter was also
reelected treasurer without opposi-
ton.
No names appeared upon the ballot
for justices of the peace, but IL voters
wrotes in the name of Michael Ma
honey, and six voted for O. L. Bye, and
these two were declared elected. M.
B. Cater also received one vote. There
is no doubt but what Mike possesses
judicial temperament in marked de-
gree, and he also has the requisite
dignity.
The constable space on the ballot
was also blank, and George Schmidt
was elected, receiving eight votes.
Carl Rick and Leonard Reed receiv-
ed six each.
VIM. Klingbeil, Henry Marpe and
Fred Eggert acted as judges of the
election, and Albert Kuhfeld as clerk,
while August Meyer presided as mod
orator. Needless to state everything
passed off smoothly, and the judges
and clerks attended to their duties in
an efficient manner
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1916-03-16

acted as clerks Of the election, and Ira
G. Stanley, Rufus P. Morton and A..
M. Davis were the judges, and proved
to be a competent and efficient cleo
ton board. The village count was
completed at 8:15-three hours and
10 minutes after the polls closed. Con-
sldering the mixture of candidates.

NOTES..

Manager Hofflander informs US that
this was G's last game for this sea-
son. The boys had a successful year,
and appreciate the generous support
of the public.
"Pongo" Olson and Dave Umbe-
hooker acted as referee and umpire, re-
spective1y, and all kicks registered
were carefully filed away. The off,
Gals had no snap, but both did very
we'll.
It is rather doubtful if the high
school engages insany more contests
this season. A game was to have
been played at Milaca tomorrow even
ing, but it was Cancelled as no suitable
hall is available. The local lads have
a record for the season that is more
than creditable. Several times they
have by sheer cleverness overcome
heavier and more experienced teams,
and each one of the players has
done stellar work. Those of them who
have not figured prominently in the
scoring line, have held down the guard
position in gratifying manner.

Princeton Town Business Meeting.

Considerable interest was manifest
ed in the annual meeting of Princeton
town at the polling place over the
Farmers Cooperative store Tuesday
afternoon, and about SO voters were in
attendance. The meeting was called
to order shortly after 1 o'clock, and
August Meyer acted as moderator.
A motion to the effect that every
body act as his own poundmaster was
carried without dissenting vote.
1t was decided not to change the
bulletin boards of the town, conse-
quently they will remain where they
are at present, viz: One at the Long
Siding cross roads, one at the Boyn
road and one on the northeast Ger
many road.
The supervisors report of the guide
posts was then read, and motion to
repair the guide posts now in use and
maintain same prevailed.
Clerk Albert Kuhfeld then read the
annual financial report of the town,
and same was on motion approved and
accepted.
The financial statement in synop-
tic form follows:

mated as the place where the next

G's powerful basket ball team and the
rapid fire high school quint opposed
each other in a regular game at the
Armory Tuesday evening, and large
and enthusiastic gathering of fans en-
joyed every minute of play. The con-
test was a real exhibition of basket
ball-both fves going at top speed
The soldier boys being more expert
enced and heavier had natural adj
vantage, but the high school lads wag-
ed an aggressive game and the G
quint was forced to travel right along
to annex the long end Of a "a to 16
Play started shortly after 9 o'clock,
and the high school lads cleared the
deck for action right at the outset.
Berg and Winsor each located the net
before the G boys got squared around.
Newton and Morton got within range
of the basket shortly thereafter, how
ever, and tied the score, and G forged
ahead when Smith counted for a field
goal. Raiche evened things up again
when he negotiated basket, but be-
fore the period ended, Smith, the
husky militia forward, slowed away
the honors for the first half by count
ing twice. The score when time was
called stood 10 to 6 in favor of G..
G Travelled particularly fast during
the final period, and at times the high
school performed in sensational style.
Wilkes started things by planting the
ball through the hoop shortly after
play started, but orange and black
stock scared a few minutes later when
Berg and Raiche each negotiated field
goals from difficult angles. At this
stage Of the dame the high school de-
tense appeared to be slightly demon
allied for time, with the result that
Doane and Morton counted once each
and Newton twice, in rapid succession.
Raiche and Jesmer came right back
for the high school with a field goal
each, and then Newton wound up G's
scoring by tossing another basket.
During the final minutes of play
Raiche again counted, and the score
for this period was IA to 10, while the
final count was "a to 16
