FARMERS DECLARE
WAR ON THE BEAVER
J. H. Heinen and c. J. Brennan Re-
port Great Damage to their Trees
Want Law Repealed

C. ]. Brennan and J. II. Heinen,
prominent Foxholm farmers, were in
the city Monday with "blood in their
eyes," all on account of the immense
damage that beavers are doing to
their trees along Mouse river. They
state that the beavers, which are pro-
tected by law, have cut down their
very best ash and willow trees, roll
ing them for long distances to the
river, building dams Of them. This
has been going on for years. Mr..
Brennan estimates that the beavers on
three quarters of his land have de-
stroyed over 5000 ash trees, some of
them being from six inches to a foot
thru. The loss to each will aggregate
a thousand dollars or more, it being
impossible to estimate the extent OF
their damage. They claim that bea-
yer have been protected by our laws to
the detriment Of the land owners, who
are trying to conserve their timber.
No one except the rich will set any
benefit from the furs and they believe
the law ought to be repealed.
Mr.. Brennan stated: Il don't want
the beaver nor their fur, but want to
get rid Of them and propose to do so,
law or no law. | simply will net stand
by and see my best timber destroyed

STOLE $3.50 FROM
Willow CITY YOUTH
Two Men Matched Pennies and One
Took a Look at POcketbook Be-
longing to Third Party.

An unsophisticated farmer lad, IS
years of age, enroute from some point
in Canada to Willow City, to spend the
winter with sister, was robbed Of
his summers wages, $3.50, in broad
daylight, near Judge Murray's resi-
dence north of the G. N. depot Tues
day forenoon. The youth came into
the city on No. 1O8 and was waiting
at the G. N. station for his train. He
met two strangers, one tall English
man and the other a short fellow who
claimed to be Yankee. They en-
gagged him in conversation and found
that he had money, and invited him
fol walk. On the way the two new
friends started matching pennies. The
Englishman soon won all of the Yam
KEGS money and the Yankee wanted
revenge. eff I had a little money, I'd
soon get my money back" he said.
The Englishman made fun Of the
Yankee and this riled up the young
farmer who stated that he had plenty
of money. He showed the Yankee his
pocketbook, and allowed him to look
at it. Thereupcn the Englishman
started to run and the Yankee said
he'd chase after him and get his
money back. Both men disappeared
behind a clump of trees, taking with
them the youths pocketbook. He
shed tears as he told his story to the
police, who are looking for the bad
men. The youth is stranded, having
less than dollar.

SIMPLY HER NATURE.

A woman is mighty handy thing
to, have about the house, but at all
times trife queer, says an exchange.
She doesn't cost any more to keep
than you will give her and never Joses
interest in you. If you go out at
night she will be awake when you
come in and tell you all about your
self and more too. Of course she will
know where you have been and what
you have been doing, and after she
gets thru telling you she'll turn
around and ask you where you were
and what kept you out so late. And
after you inform her she won't be-
lieve it, but you must not mind. When
you get into bed she assures you that
she has not slept wink all night, yet
she will stay awake two hours telling
you things you don't want to hear.
You wonder why she doesn't go to
sleep when she has chance, but don't
worry. It's simply her nature.
