Christine Wicen.

Miss Christine Wicen passed over
the great divide at Missoula, Montana,
last Saturday. A telegram received
that evening conveyed the sad news
to Princeton relatives and friends of
the young lady, but particulars as to
the cause Of death were not given.
Christine Wicen was born in Mime
apolis 26 years ago, and accompanied
her parents to Wyanett, Isanti county,
when a little girl. About ten years
ago the family moved to Princeton,
and she made her home here until a
few years ago, when she took a, course
in Minneapolis business college.
The past year she has been employed
as stenographer at Missoula, Mon
tana.
Besides the father, L. Wicen of this
village, and stepmother, deceased is
survived by four brothers, viz: Anil,
,Halger, Elof and Bernard. All the
boys are in the west.
Mr.. Wicen is north of Duluth at
this time, and his wife has been unable
to ascertain what arrangements have
been made for the funeral services.
Miss Wicen was young lady whom
none knew but esteemed her, and her
untimely taking away is sad, to say
the least.

Potatoes continued steady on the
Chicago market last week, and the sit
uation is improved. The demand from
local trade there has been good and
dealers say consumers are eating
more potatoes than recently. Receipts
last week showed an increase but fur
ther increase is not expected on ac-
count Of the light holdings and bad
roads in producing sections.
The New York potato market has
been very much on the decline the past
week. The solution of the puzzle is
that the people apparently have just
quit eating potatoes. Therewere some
thing like 100 cars Of potatoes in the
Thirty-third street and Harlem river
yards the middle Of last week, yet
they were not moving.

C. A. Foster Kills Negro.

The following item takensfrom the
Minneapolis Journal Of last evening,
will be of interest to our readers, as
Mr.. Foster is we'll known to several
old-times in Princeton, having been
employed here in the early numbering
days: ~ ~
"E. M. Thompson, negro, was shot
through the heart and killed instantly
at noon today by Patrolman C. A. Eos
ter of the Lake street station, who
fought the negro to save Patrolman
Joseph Voseka, whom Thompson had
tried to shoot. The negro was killed in
an alley back of Fritz Maurer's saloon,
507 Washington avenue N. He is be-
lieved to have been insane. Thompson
was aiming his weapon at Voseka, who
sought to arrest him for threatening
Maurer, when Foster, in plain clothes,
entered the alley. He rushed on the
negro and in the melee fired his auto
matte pistol twice. Foster Immediate
ly went to headquarters to wait for an
inquiry by Chief Lewis Harthill."

Old Council Meets.

The last meeting of the old council
was held Monday evening. All men,
bers were present, and Mayor Newbert
presided. Aside from acting on a
grist of bills no business came up for
consideration.
Councilman Gottwerth created some
diversion, when, with a twinkle, he
objected to a bill for $40 put in by
Mayor Newbert for two years of SER
vice on the council. OF course the
objection was not pushed nor sus-
tanned.
Mayor Newbert and Councilman
Olsen are the retiring members, and
they have excellent records as public
officials.

Wilkes-O sterberg,

Last Thursday evening at the resi-
dence Of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Wilkes
of Milaca quiet home wedding was
solemnized, when Mr.. A. G. Osterberg
of this village was united in marriage
to Miss orpha Wilkes, Rev, E. L.
Dagner of Milaca performed the cere-
mony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Osterberg left at once
for brief wedding trip, and among
other places visited the home of the
groom's parents at Cokato. They re-
turned Tuesday evening, and have gone
to keeping house in the Middlebrook
residence, in Rossmere addition to
Princeton, which Mr.. Osterberg re-
Gently purchased.
The groom is one of the best known
and most highly esteemed young men
in Mile Laos county, being at present
our efficient and popular register of
deeds. And for helpmate he indeed
secured prize. The bride is a gra-
cious young lady, possessed of charm
and character. Although a Milaca
girl, being a graduate of the high
school of that village, she is no
stranger to Princeton people and will
make her home among friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Osterberg will have a
future as bright and felicitous as they
can desire, if the we'll wishes of friends
count for aught.

LABORS|
March Term of the District Court for;
Mile Laos County Adjourns
on Tuesday Morning.
Jury Finds for Smith Bros. in Case of
the Mile Laos Transportation
Company on Friday.

Laos county came to close Saturday
afternoon, and Judge Parsons left on
the evening train for Minneapolis, via
Hinckley, and expected to reach his
home in Fergus Falls the first of the
week. Court Reporter Woodward re-
manned here until Monday morning,
when he left for st. Cloud.
Only two cases-a jury case and a
court case-came up for trial at this
term.
In the case of the Mile Laos trans
portation Co. VS.. Roy Smith Of Roch-
ester. and Frank N; Smith Of Wahkor
which was on trial at the time the
Union went to press last week, the
jury found for the defendants, after
celebrating about a half an hour.
Baldwin, Baldwin & Holmes of Duluth
represented the plaintiff, and Attor-
neyI p. L. Mcmillan appeared for the
defendants. 5~-- go. >s.---- ~.
This was an action brought by the
plaintiff for some $500 for an al
legged conversion by the defendants of
the steamer Luella and a 6O-foot
barge. Defendants claimed to have
made an arrangement with plaintiff by
which they were to purchase the barge
and have the use Of the steamer dur
ing the fall of 1916, when plaintiff al
legged the conversion took place.
Attorney E. L. Mcmillan handled
the defendants side Of the case in an
able manner and made a particularly
telling plea to the jury. He empha-
sized the fact that during the trial it
was brought out that the steamer and
barge were of no value in Mile Laos
lake, and that. it would not be FEAST
BILE to transport them elsewhere. They
had been idle three years or more, and
were a liability instead of an asset.
In sh1is connections he illustrated the
point by citing that portion Of Biblical
history that deals with Noah and his
ark. When the flood came the ark was
of tremendous value-the combined
wealth Of all the financial princes in
the world could not purchase it. But
after the waters had subsidized, and
Noah and his family left the ark high
and dry on Mount Arrat, it's value
ceased to exist. In years gone by the
steamer and barge on Mile Laos lake
may have been valuable property, but
now that there is no use for them, they
represent less than nothing.
The case of Kent K. Moore, Adah
L. Moore and Carl Sholin VS.. First
National Bank of Princeton and The
Agency, came up for trial without a
jury Friday morning. This was an
action brough to cancel and set aside
a contract, deed and some mortgages
involving the Page ranch.
Selover, Schultz & Selover Of Mime
apolis had the plaintiffs case, and At
torneys E. L. Mcmillan and Charles
Keith appeared for the defendant.
Briefs are to be submitted, also, by
the lawyers and Judge Parsons will
then announce his decision in the mat
