Sheriff A. E. Lindquist of ST. James
fWatonWan county, camesvto the city
late Saturday afternoon and took pos
session of Guy Ward, the lad picked
up by the Mankato police on the
charge of stealing and fraudulently
cashing a check in that countys. The
sheriff was accompanied by Jacob
Bfuegger, cashier of the ButterfieId
bank at which the check in question
was cashed
The check was cashed by girl en-
| ployed at the bank, and the girl
would recognize the lad, she said, who
presented the check there for pay
ment if she should see him. s.
1t is reported that the check was
stolen from among the effects of a
tiler, Erick Blomquist in camp at
Darfur. It was stated that Guy, Ward
was at the camp and was going to go
to work with the rest, but was sick
for a time, and was left alone in the
place where hung Blomquist's coat
with the check in the pocket. The
check was in the sum of $3.50, and
was issued by Paul Paulson, con-
tAoStoi, IA loNOl vi
1t. would seem, therefore, that the
prosecution would have to depend
largely on the testimony of the girl
at the bank. H. 10
Chief of Police Ario today an
nounced that Guy Ward had confessed
also, that the lad had confessed to
having. stolen a large quantity of
brass fixtures and other things, valu-
able for the purpose for which they
We're, made, but of little !, value a.
junk, belonging to the Madison laun-
dry. The chief remarked that he
knew where the stolen castings were.
The confession. clears up an old
mystery in regard to the stealing Of
the castings. .a
When first arrested the lad stontfy
denied having had anything to do with
the theft and cashing of the check.

AUTOS IN COLLISION
Machines Came Together On the
Road Near Eagle Lake.

Two automobiles, an Overland and
a Ford, collided yesterday morning
on Schwarbel hill on the Madison
Lake road near Eagle Lake.
The hill goes up rather sharply,
so that it is not easy to see
an auto coming on the other side of
the peak until very close to it. 1t ap-
pears that each of the drivers was
prevented from seeing the other by
this hill, until they were close upon
each other.
Both of the cars were badly smashed
especially the Overland. A man in the
Overland, said to be Frank Wondering,
or some such name as that, was cut
somewhat about the face. One of the
ladies in the Overland is reported to
have suffered an injury to her Shout
der The Ford car, which was going
towards Madison Lake, was that OF
Frank Madigan. Mr. Madigan was at
the scene of the accident.

FARMERS NOT TO ESCAPE

Being Conscripted.
limited Press Dispatch !

TTtSS sDlSpdlCHiJ
Washington, June 16.-Farmers will
not be exempt from military con-
scription. This question has frequent
ly been asked and today answer was
made by Provost Marshal General
Crowder He stated that if it was
thought by the board of exemption
that farmer would serve his coun
try better in the ranks than he
would in the country on the farm, and
if it was thought he did not have the
excuse of having family or other
people dependant on him, the board
might in it's discretion order him into
the service. rs.,g
1t is expected that President Wilson
will soon issue general proclamation
stating generally what classes are to
be exempt from military service.

full progress with the work so
that it is expected that another

The section south of town is
suffering from drouth, but the
crop in general will yield rather
better than for some pears past.
The prospect of a good crop, and
the almost certain prospect OF a
tremendous shortage of cars to
move it is resulting in demand
for more storage rooms on the
farms and several farmers are
building additional granary
room. The local lumber yard
has had a good business IN this
line for the past few weeks and
is getting pretty well cleaned

"SHIRTWAIST AUDIENCES

NV usual audience on the
Chautauqua circuit was what is
technically known as the shirt
waist audience" that is, it was
overwhelmingly feminine. The
women of the towns practically
filled the tents in the afternoon.
They came in clean shirtwaists,
no hats, sometimes with their
knitting in their hands, though
more frequently carrying a baby,
or leading a child. It was an
audience which never took its
business of listening over-serl-
ously. 1t had no settled strong
convictions about confusion and
noise. If a baby cried, there
was considerable more sympa-
thy for the mother than there
was for the speaker. 1t was
quite obvious that the mothers
encouraged the boys and girls
to stay. For one reason they
could have their eyes on them;
then there seemed to be a vague
notion that they might get some
good. The music in the pro-
iogue always held the children,
and | was surprised to notice
that thev seemed to have GER
tain curiosity about the lecturer
which would keep them in their
seats for five or ten minutes.
Occasionally there would be a
voungster who would sit thru
out the lecture with his eyes
riveted on you, serious, atten-
tive, apparently thoughtful. 1t
was always pulling to me to
know whether he really was
hearing what | said, or whether
he might not be taking this op-
portunity for wonderful day
dreams. He was probably Oft
