Widell wanted the contract to build

as monument for him in his home

it not been for this low bid we would
have not been able to build this bridge
as we had raised all the money that we
possibly could raise 1t was $95,006
about the amount of his bid We GER
tainly were more than pleased at the
time the bids were opened when we
heard this bid read. In behalf of North
Mankato, we herewith extend to Cen
eral Gust Widell our sincere thanks for
his public spirit in this matter and may
this magnificent structure serve as a

that spent their time and money in
promoting it's construction and for al

YOUTH Of THIRTEEN
SWIPEO A MACHINE
Walter Sharp, BoyThirteen Years
Old, Was Apprehended In
Mankat0

Walter Sharp, a boy OF thirteen
years, son of D. Sharp, jeweler at
Brookings, S. D., was locked up at
the Mankato police station this morn
ing on account of the theft of an au-
tomobile, which he admitted taking.
He was asked what he intended to
do with it and he said he did not
know, but it appears that he intend
ed to go to st. Paul with the machine.
The lad picked up the auto, which
is new Ford, en- Main street at
Brookings, and started with it on a
joy ride eastward. He followed the
Black and Yellow trail and come to
Mankato. Last night he took a load
of boy scouts in uniform and started
ahead of the parade He himself was
likewise in boy scout uniform.
He was in front of the parade and
the police who were leading the pa
rade noticed that the car lamps were
not lighted in the rear. One of them
called to him to turn on the lights.
The uniforms of the boy scouts at
tracted the attention of the officers.
That same evening, an officer at
Bookings called up Sheriff Osten
and the police station of Mankato to
give both the information of the boy
| in boy scout uniform, who was re-
ported to have run off with car. The
police at once remembered the boy
scouts in that Ford, and the city was
secured for the lad last night.
Young Sharp visited a boy frier -
of his in Tinckomyille, and he also
took a trip out to Minneopa park. On
the way back he borrowed a gallon
of gasoline and started out for St.
Peter.
He had been noticed by people who
knew that the police were on his
trail and he was followed by an Of
ticer of the police force and William
Schwender, Jr., in a Page car. The
lad drove his Ford pretty fast, but
the Page overlook him near the
/ Fletcher farm. There he was cap
tured and brought to the station.
The boys father is reported to
have gone to st. Paul, expecting the
boy to come there. 1t was thought he
would be pleased on learning that
the lad had been picked up in Man
katO.

Bingham.-Robert, the little son of
George Cooper of Bingham town
ship, was terribly lacerated Monday,
when the big collie dog belonging to
William Glfzier attacked the child.
The dog had been fighting with other
dogs nearby and becoming savage,
standing, and when Mr.. Cooper, who
was working near, came up, the dog
had the child on the ground and was
chewing at his face, neck and arms.
The boy was brought to st. Johns,
where he received medical treatment.
Although the dog was not mad, the
child undoubtedly would have been
killed had not the father come up as
he did.
Won't Employ County Agents
Stanton.-The matter of employing
a county agent whose salary would be
paid jointly by the county, state and
federal government was made
special order for Monday by the
Montcalm county board of supervis-
ors. The proposal involving an ex-
penditure of approximately 81 400
which would cost seven cents per year
on each thousand dollars valuation,
was turned down by vote of 10 TO 6.
In Clinton county at the Mondays
session of the board of supervisors,
the matter of engaging county agri-
cultural agent for the ensuing year
was discussed at length. 1t was fin
ally decided that the county could
worry along without one. A COM
munication from o. c. HOLSTER, the
present county agent, was read. He
suggested that if the board deemed it
advisable to have an agent, that they
appropriate the sum of $1,000 for the
purpose. Clinton is one of a few
counties in Michigan which voted not
to have county agent.

Wayside orchards are quite a fea-
ture of the roads in many parts Of
Herefordshire. Damsons are the trees
usually planted for this purpose, and
along many of the main roads they
have been planted in the hedges at
intervals of few yards for consider
able distances.
Great masses Of snowy bloom in
spring and the purple Of ripening
fruit in the late summer do much to
add to the beauty of one of the most
beautiful counties in England.
Some enterprising farmers have
planted damson trees in every hedge
on the farm, and the damson crop is
quite considerable factor in their
agricultural returns. Tons of the
fruit are gathered in a half-ripe state
and used for dyeing purposes.-Lon-
don Chronicle.
