Make Showing.
Frank Ruiz and John Waldorf of
Minneapolis are guests of Sheriff Kon-
shak since last evening. Thereby
hangs tale.
About three months ago Ruiz ap-
peared at Dassel and got Mrs. O. M.
Palmquist, whose husbands myster-
ious death by revolver shot over a
year ago has never been unravelled,
to employ him to run down the guilty
party. He represented himself as
possessed of clues and could bring the
murderer to time. He was smooth
enough to deceive her and her bro
therin-laW at COkatO, Mr.. Carbon, to
such an extent that he obtained from
her various sums, aggregating $1,570,
all paid thru the Cokato bank of her
brother-in-law. He~gave strict injunc-
ton to let no one at Dassel know
about his being on the case.
During the time he was pretending
to be at work, and to make it appear
he was pushing the case, he got one
John Waldorf for small wage to
shadow parties at Dassel, one of them
being Frank A. Carlson, cashier of the
bank succeeding the man who Was
killed, and for the further purpose of
endeavOring to extort money from
him. He wrote several letters to Carl.

These letters were turned over by
Carlson to the postal authorities, who
made some investigation but did not
follow it up to any conclusion. Five
letters were sent to Carlson, mailed al

ten days ago Carlson got an inkling O.

WOULD SHARE CREDIT
FOR DRAINAGE LAW
Representative Frye Tells Of Suooes.
tions From Constituents and of
Other Assistance Received.

To the Editor of Willmar Tribune:
Dear Sir: In the issue of your paper
of April Is wherein you published an
amendment to the present road drain
age law, and quoted me as being the
father of the measure, and after read
ing the same and thinking the matter
over, l thought perhaps that some of
the readers of your paper might think
l wished all of the credit for conceiv-
ing the idea of so amending the road
drainage law, so as to provide for as
sessing and collecting of a road drain
age fund in each township of the
state. The idea being, as the roads
are built for the benefit of the public
and in nearly every town, in order to
build and maintain good roads some
system of drainage is necessary;
hence the costs of construction of
such drainage should be borne by the
tax payers Of the whole town rather
than by the local taxpayers of the To-
cality wherein the drainage is neces'
sary.
During the last campaign in connec'
ton with Mr.. J. S. Christensen OF
Lake Andrew and also with Mr.. l.. z
Thompson of Green Lake and others
they called my attention to the defects
in the present road drainage law, and
especially Mr.. Christensen suggested
the idea of the providing for road
drainage fund Hence in compliance
with their wishes and requests l be
came author of the amendment.
first tried to get it attached to Mr.
Dunn's new good roads bill but failed
I also tried to get it on to the new
County and Judicial Ditch law bu
again failed, and as the time for tn
introduction of bills had then expired
1 procured permission from the Cover
nor to introduce it as bill and sue
ceeded in getting it thru the House un
der suspension of the rules. Mr.. Dunn
and Senator Gandrud had it passe'
thru the Senate under suspension o
the rules Also hope it will work on
all right altho it ought to be amende
so as to provide for both County an
State road drainage fund.
simply wished this published t
show that am in favor of giving cree
it to others and not claiming some
thing for myself which belongs t
others.

thorough search of the ruins here
Sunday and Monday it was officially
made known last night that the cyclone
which swept over Poplar caused one
death and injury to another and
wrecked many buildings. The loss,

killed near here and man employ
ed by Sheehan was seriously injured.
No other casualties in this section
have been reported. Many persons
had narrow escapes when several
garages were blown down and the
lumber yard torn to pieces. The
cyclone picked up the pieces of tim
ber and scattered them over a great,
area. Citizens barely escaped be-
ing hit by flying planks that were
scooped up from the lumber yard.
The roof of the largest livery barn
in Poplar was carried away and sew
