Home Of Gopher Governor Is
Put Under Guard
MENACING ARE LETTERS
As Precautionary Measure SOL
diers Are Stationed On
The Premises

st. Paul, October 23.-Threats have
been made against the lives of Gov
ernor Burnquist's three young chill
dren.
Mrs. Burnquist received one letter
| at her home, 1910 Bradley street
saying, Your children will be killed
before your eyes,"
Governor Burnquist has also re-
ceived many menacing letters at the
! capital, some of which also threat
| ened his children.
The letters are believed to have
been written by "cranks," incensed
| at Governor Burnquist's action in
| attempting to put the lid on dis
loyalty and his other war activities
Two soldiers on guard night and
| day at Governor Burnquist's home
keep special watch over the children
when they are out of doors.
The children are John, 10; Mary
Louise, five and Ruth, three.
"We are not unduly alarmed about
the threats against the children,
said Mrs. Burnquist today, although
we are taking every precaution fol
their safety"
Letters Sent Mrs. Burnquist.
The fact that the governors home
was guarded followed publication OF
the Fourth regiment pay roll OF
| $4,000 for September, including $16S
| for the men on guard at the COVER
nor's house, and other mention of the
| special precautionary measure.
Mrs. Burnquist has received sew
eral threatening letters" Gustav
Lindquist, secretary to the governor
said "and that was the reason for
the establishment of night guard on
| the governors home.
Zone letter in particular which
caused apprehension was from per-
son who criticized the governor for
advocating patriotic submission to
draft laws and warned Mrs. Burnquist
| that her life and those of her chill
dren might be taken that the COVER
nor would know the sorrow of losing
loved ones.
Skull and Crossbones.
"Many similar letters, some signed
with skull and crossbones, and from
places as distant as New York and
Maine, have been received by the
governor and little attention paid to
them" Mr.. Lindquist said. "But
when they began reaching Mrs.
Burnquist it was thought time to take
lprecaution against cranks and fanatics
II believe the people of Minnesota
will agree that small measure of
protection is due the chief executive
and members of his family when they
are threatened because of his official
position"
The secretary added that the Pub
| lie Safety commission urged provi-
sion of day guard, but were unable
| to prevail on Governor Burnquist to
consent to the establishment of a
guard except at night.

BARTOS PROVED LOYALTY
Travelling Man Was Victim Of An I'm
pleasant Incident.


pleasant Incident.
Fairmont, October 23.-'I believe ].
P. Bartos is as loyal man as ever
hreathed"
That is the opinion of Assistant
County Attorney L. J. Seifert, freely
expressed after the preliminary ex-
animation of J. P. Bartos.
The case never should have been
brought. 1t grew out of reckless war
talk in Klein's saloon at Welcome.
The parties to the gabfest had been
boozing, more or less, with accent on
the more.
George Claude of Sherburn and j.
P. Bartos, well-known travelling
man were the principal disputants.
Claude claims Bartos said God is
with the kaiser-they will have to
win. The Liberty bonds are uncon-
stitutional"
Klein, the bartender says Bartos in
stead of expressing that as his own
opinion said "the German people
think" so and so.
At any rate Claude thought he had
the goods on Bartos and fastened to
get in touch with the county attor-
ney's office. The result was an arrest

Of a 100 per cent patriot before His
Honor Judge Gamble.
When John King, postmaster and
editor of The Jackson Pilot and P. d.
Mcclellan, county auditor of Jackson
county heard about the affair they
kept the long distance wires busy as
servating that Bartos was a patriot
and the hottest kind of -blooded
American. They followed this up by
coming posthaste to the seat of the
trouble and on arriving here said
scores of the best citizens of Jackson
were ready and anxious to testify that
instead of being disloyal the accused
was on fire with patriotism 365 days
in the year.
