"Jesus, Lover of My Soul" "Rock of

Cary of Detroit, Mich, and Mrs. Ger
Veeder of Sank Centre; and four bro
theirs: Edwin Morgan of Black Duel

MISSES DEATH BY AN EYELAsH
Nick Jung, Well Konwn Farmer, Has
Exciting Experience at Great
Northern Depot Monday.

A near accident, that was close
enough to make one wish never to be
witness of a second exhibition, made
life interesting for a time at the
Great Northern depot lest Friday.
The team of Nick Jung had been
left standing outside of the Independ-
ent Lumber Company office, while
Mr.. Jung attended to matters within.
The time freight had cut the cross
ing on track two and waiting for the
Oriental Limited to go through. The
freight hid the other tracks from view.
Frightened by the sudden approach of
the Limited with its frantic whistling,
the team started up and ran toward
the track. Mr.. Jung ran out in time
to catch on to the rear of the box
and climb in He was just reaching
for the reins when the team dashed
across track two, with the flyer rush
ing down upon them on track one.
The telegrapher at the depot tried to
signal the train to stop, but was too
late, turned away, being unable to
watch such terrible tragedy. Take
a long breath, gentle reader, for there
was no tragedy beyond the loss of a
suitcase. In another minute Mr.. Jung
had control of his team and the world
went right on. That is, as soon as the
station force had regained conscious
ness.

SAUK CENTRE TEAM DEFEATED
Local Debaters Eliminated by Mel
rose in Debating Contest Friday
Evening of Last Week.

The contest between the Sank Cen
tire and the Melrose debating teams
last Thursday night resulted in vic
tory for Melrose. The decision was
made under irregular conditions and
in consideration of these difficulties,
the outcome was as satisfactory as
possible: Failure on the part of one
of the judges to appear made the pro-
ceedings rather unparlimentary to be-
gin with. Rather than postpone the
debate, the superintendent of the
representative schools agreed to leave
the decision to the other two judges,
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Williams of the
ST. Cloud normal. These gentlemen
voted, one for the negative and one
for the affirmative. This new per-
plexity made it necessary to make the
decision on the basis of points, which
gave Melrose the victory.
The loss of the first debate of the
year, after so much hard work, made
defeat almost bitter. 1t is one thing
to say, "Be a good loser" and an
other to be one. Both the team and
the coaches had done their best and,
in so doing, knew they had done we'll.
The congratulations that poured in
while the judges were reaching a
conclusions assured them of this and
until the announcement of the decis-
ion, there was no doubt that the
might be defeated. Their consolation
must be that their town knows they
did well. and their opponents admitted
it, $500.
. Had the train connections been bet
ter and the weather less cold, large
representation from Sank Centre
would have been at Melrose to support
the team.

the bread making contest, and of the
boys who were in the pig and corn
contest from this locality. He said
their work was as good as any in the
state. Mr.. Erickson also addressed

BAD Niger GETS Is YEARS
Hold-Up Artist Operating in Sank
Centre July Convicted of
Highway Robbery

Chief of Police Geo. Fish, A. F.
Moynihan, Geo. Ingals and Everett
Lux went to st. Cloud Friday to be
witnesses in the trial of the man who
stabbed and robbed o. T. Olson of
Fergus Falls on the night of July
Fourth here in Sank Centre 1t will
be recalled that Olson and another
man were on their way to the Great
Northern depot at about $3.50 p. M,
when they were suddenly confronted
and assaulted by two negroes. Olson
was stabbed several times and robbed
of valuables worth about $40. Larson
was cut and beaten and lost $18. One
man, who gave his name as Jim Gov
enson, was found by the police about
1 p. M, but the other escaped. Gov
enson was taken to st. Cloud and
bound over to the grand jury. He
was accused of assault with deadly
weapon and with highway robbery.
At the time of his arrest he admitted
his crime, but later denied it. How
ever, the evidence of the assault was
too strong and he confessed to COM
plicity in that, but still denied the
robbery. ~,
Covenson was found guilty of rob-
berry in the second degree. The jury
was out a very short time. The
charge of assault is still against him
but will probably be dismissed. The
prisoner was called before Judge
Roeser Monday morning and sentenc-
ed to Saltwater for a term of not
less than two years and not more than
fifteen.

DIR. J. A. Dubois, Art J. DuBeau
and A. G. Salm6nd returned last eve
ming from Fergus Falls where they
had been in attendance at the good
roads convention.
The meeting was splendid success,
and over 100 delegates from St. Cloud
to Fargo over the Red Trail were In
attendance. The Red Trail is one of
the most famous in the country, reach
ing as it does from New York and
Boston clear across the continent,
through Minnesota and the National
Park. The Fergus Falls meeting re-
suited in the organization of the Gen.
trial Minnesota Auxiliary National
Parks Highway Association, with the
following officers:
President, Thos. Guinness, Barnes
vile.
Secretary, Leonard Erickson, Fer
gus Falls.
Treasurer, George G. Magnuson,
st. Cloud.
A vice president was selected from
each county in the district, as fol-
lows:

DIR. J. A. Dubois was a member of
the constitution and bylaws commit
tee and dictated the resolutions pass
ed by the association. Among other
things the resolution recommended
the retention Of the state highway
commission and that all roads in the
state should be constructed under their
supervision. Certain it is that the
roads of MinnesotaFwilL never reach
the perfection hoped for until they
are built under thes supervision Of
praetical and experienced road men.
Senator McGarry, good roads en-
thusiast, made the principal address
of the convention. Other speakers
were G. A. Kortsch of Alexandria; A.
L. Meigs of Fargo and others.
The Red Trail traverses over the
same road as the Minnesota Scenic
Highway from Alexandria to st. Paul.
Sank Centre is fast gaining a rep.
utstion as convention city. When
the question of holding the next an
nual meeting was brought up, DR.. Du-
Bots stated that he alweys carried
with him cordial invitation from the
citizens of Sank Centre for any body
of men to meet in their city. The in
vitation was formally accepted and the
next annual meeting will be held here
some time in January or February,
