Sportsmen, explorers, hunters, who
have tried to penetrate this region have
generally persisted. Those who have
returned have come back pale and hag-
gard from the evil effects OF the eli

atmosphere unbearable. The natives
have become connlbals, and the graves
OF thousands Of white men dot the re-
gion.
Within this belt the home OF the
Okapi lies in a narrow strip some COG
miles long and hardly $50 miles wide
and about 100 miles from either coast

resident of Belgrade, who went to
Canas, Washington, about four years
ago for her health, is dead at that
place, messages announcing her
death having been received by rela-
tives in this city and vicinity. She
was about fifty-five years of age, and
her maiden name was Miss Amelia
Grice, she being the daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Grice, well
known among the older settlers. Mrs.
Currier suffered from rheumatism and
hardening of the arteries, but until
three weeks ago was apparently inn
proving in health, and was planning
on returning home to Mankato, when
her illness suddenly became very
serious. She was a devout Christian
woman, and was always cheerful,
meeting her i'll health with brave
Christian fortitude

CURRIERS' AT MAPLET0N
MANKAT0 IN WINNING
Number of Kinks Participate In
Events At That Scotch
Village

Mapleton Enterprise: Commencing
with Tuesday night, when the Man
kato men came in on the late train,
the curriers' from far and near have
been gathering for their annual bon
spiel, and from the sounds proceeding
from the big rink at the south end of
Main street they are having a wonder
fully good time Winnebago is repre-
scented by but one rink made up Of
Everett Hart, Greeley Dobie, j. Foley,
with William Mcdonald as skip. An
other team is looked for from that
burg before the bonspiel is over and
John Shark and Will Hart are already
on hand. Charles Garnsey of Winnie
bago is acting as umpire for the
games and is keeping up to his good
reputation. The boys in Southern
Minnesota think game is hardly a
game without Garnsey for an umpire.
Mankato is represented by two
Kinks. John Nyquist as skip is sup
ported by F. Gabler, Ed. Nyquist and
R. B. Hanna and c. H. Nerbovig as
skip has as players William McCollum,
A. G. Ness and Roy Allison. Mapleton
has three Kinks as follows: T. Hamp,
Father Gossman, T. B. Taylor, B. F.
Taylor, skip; e. Hadley, J. S. Taylor,
A J. Ellis, w. G. Schulz, skip; Arthur
Borchert, Tom Leroy, w. w. Taylor,
William Morrow, skip.
Then there is the Grapeland rink,
with George Farnsworth, George
Jones, Tony Pagenkopf, and Byron
McGregor, skip; the Sterling, with Roy
Chandler, Sid Annis, William Dobie
and Garfield Ellis, skip; and the Maple
River rink, composed of Ray More,
John Mclaughlin, Ernest More AMI
Russell Annis, skip.
In the first event, which carries
with it the First National bank tro-
ply, Garfield Ellis won from Ben Tay :
lor, 10 to Z; William Mcdonald from
Byron McGregor, to Is; William
Schulz from c. H. Nerbovig, to IL;
john Nyquist from Russell Annis, TO
Is; William Schulz from Nyquist, IL
to T. Macdonald from Morrow, II to
6; in the semi finals, Macdonald from
Garfield Ellis, Is to f. The final game
was played Wednesday evening, when
Macdonald wrested the prize from
the Schulz rink by the score of 16
to IA.
In the second event for the Maple
ton State Bank trophy but two game 6
have been played as we go to press.
In the first C. H. Nerbovig defeated
/ the B. f. Taylor rink by IA to 9. The
W. G. Schulz rink won over the Will
liam Macdonald rink IL to Z, this be-
ing the first game the latter had lost
since the bonspiel began.
The Mapleton boys feel jubilant
over the outcome of the games at the
Winnebago bonspiel last week. The
First National Bank trophy was won
| by the Ben Taylor rink over the
Foley rink of Winnebago, thus re-
versing the outcome of the game over
here, when the First National bank
trophy is taken by a Winnebago rink.
! The Annis rink won over the Streater
rink of Winnebago by a close margin,
| it being necessary to play thirteen
heads to finish the game. The State
bank trophy was won by the Snow
rink of Mankato.

Watonwan County Resident Was
Brought Before Justice; He Is
Bound Over.

st. James, January 25.-The Inde-
pendent says that Peter Haler, a
prosperous farmer of German extrac-
ton, residing east of this city few
miles, was arrested and arraigned be-
fore Judge B. F. Clement on a charge
of having made seditious utterances.
The specific charge against Haler
is that he is alleged to have said
with references to the CONSUMPTION of
men for the United States army:
"They are not going to get my
boys. l am not going to furnish can
non fuel for those other countries"
Finding that he was unable to Sc
cure counsel for defense, Haler
waived examination and was bound
over to the grand jury under a bond
in the sum of $500.
Upon one or two previous occasions
Haler had been called before the
county safety commission and given
some sound advice upon the subject
of patriotism, but complaints contin-
ued to come in relative to his alleged
seditious utterances and he was ar
rested upon complaint signed by
County Attorney A. Running.
This is the first arrest made in
this country for disloyalty though
there have been enough reports cur
rent to have kept small army of
investigators busy, had the officials
seen fit to get busy on the job. It
is to be hoped that now that actor
has been commenced there will be no
rest for the disloyalists of this county
until every one of them is lodged
safely behind the bars.

SCHOOL CASE IS DECIDED
Supreme Court Handed Down
An Opinion Appropriation
Action

The state supreme court has decid-
ed the case of ]. F. Nutshell, respon-
dent, VS.. c. G. Schultz, as superin-
tendent of education, ct al, appellants.
Syllabus.
First. State legislatures prior to
1917 provided that public schools of
certain designated classes, upon reach
ing certain specified standards. should
receive stipulated amounts annually
from the state, and that appropriations
made for that purpose, if insufficient
to pay all demands in full, should be
distributed pro rata. Appropriations
made from time to time left deficit
up to July 81, 1916.
Second. The legislature of 1917 ap-
propriated an amount for state aid
available for the year ending July 81,
1917, and an amount available for the
year ending July 81. 1918.
Third. In constituting statute, we
may, in case of doubt, take into ac-
count the object or purpose of the act,
the events leading up to it, the his
tory of the passage of the act through
the legislature and notifications made
during it's course.
Fourth. Constituting this statute in
the light of it's history and circum-
stances. and in connection with other
legislation, it is held it appropriates
money for use in payment of aid &C
cruing during the specific years men
toned and does not authorize pay
ment. out of the amount appropriated,
of a deficit accruing prior to those
years.
Orders affirmed.

bipartisan LEAGUE
ORGANIZER ON TRIAL
Louis Martin Is Charged With
DisIoyaIty; Others Also Are
Accused
UNITED Press Dispatch.l

Red Wing, Mimi, January 25.-
Louis Martin, organizer for the ma
tional non partisan league, Joe Meyer,
Goodhue barber, and Herman Temp
Ike, farmer, went on trial today
charged with making unpatriotic ut
terances. Sedition is specifically
charged against Martin. The three,
arrested January IA, gave bonds ap-
pearance today. Martins bond, $1,000,
was signed by an instructor at the
Redwing seminary.
The state today claimed to be ready
to show that Martin said these things
as charged in the warrant for his ar
rest:
If they conscripted wealth like
they conscript men, this war
would not last over forty eight
hours"
eve were stampeded into this
war by newspaper rot, to pull
England's chestnuts out of the
fire."
"The president of the United
States has too much power and he
uses it to suit himself"
IF this is such great democ-
racy for heavens sake, why should
we not vote on the CONSUMPTION of
menu"
Martin got his name in the news
papers last August, following an alter
cation with former state Representa-
tive Gates. Martins story of that af-
fair is that he entered a barber shop
at Kenyon, this county and quoting
Martin, "jokingly asked the barber if
he had time to shave a pro- German"
Gates took exception, and an alter
cation followed, Martin is suing Gates
charging that Gates melted Kenyon
folk against Martin, in such a manner
that Martin was forced to leave the
town quickly.
At the trial today, Zempke is charg-
ed with suggesting a revolution
against the United States. "We can
raise 10000 men here and start a
revolution" he is quoted in the war
rent as having said, We had no bust
ness in the war with Germany Ger
many told us to keep off the seas, and
we should have minded her."
Meyer is charged with having at
tackled the Red Cross.

Henry Blank Taken Into Custody;
Paper Worked Off On Saloon
keeper in This City.

Notice was received yesterday
afternoon by the police to the effect
that worthless check had been
passed on a local saloon. 1t was made
out in favor of Henry Blank, who has
been in town for some time, and
purported to be signed by Jim Tenn
pleton, a tiler from Iowa. The check
was drawn on the Mankato savings
bank. Becoming suspicious of the
check, the saloon man took it to the
bank, and found that it did not bear
the recorded signature Of Jim Tenn
pleton, who has a savings account in
that bank. Templeton was questioned
by the police and denied having is
sued or signed the check Henry
Blank was taken into custody.
1t appeared that somebody wrote
out the check and handed it to Blank
while he was with a crowd of fellows,
all Of whom were more or less under
the influence of liquor. Blank was
himself much under the influence of
liquor, when he passed the check at
the saloon. He later made good, re-
turning the money due, and was this
morning let off pretty easy, being
allowed to plead guilty to the charge
of having been drunk. He told Judge
Plymat that he came from Georgia
and at times was employed at ordin-
airy labor Blank admitted that he had
served a sentence of fourty days in
Jail for having been drunk This time
his sentence was made fifteen days.
