AGILE MONTFORT, FARMER
ESCAPES ENRAGED BULL.

John Cook ST., has been imperson-
ating Maud Muller in the hay field at
his son Johns the past week. Fred
Biddick and Roy Simpson. those
good judges, came along looking for
a good sire for their herd, and John
took them out in the meadow to see
a fancy 2-year-old his son had for
sale. Johns haymaking activities de-
veloped decidedly fiorid countenance,
the flaring red of which seemed to
peeve his bullship, and he started to
perform. Letting out an ominous
moo-o, accompanied by paving the
dirt and striking hostile pose, the
men struck also. Roy reached the
tree first, then Mr. Biddick, and Johns
courage lasted only long enough for
them to clear way so he could
climb up too. Being law-abiding cit
liens and knowing that bull fighting
is prohibited in the United States,
they did not propose to make mata-
doris of themselves-nor did they
wish to harm the calf After what
seemed ages to them, their cries were
heard and Mr.. Cooks little grand
daughter came out and led the 'vi-
cious brute" aWay.-Montfort Mail.

BODY OF MAN FOUND
IN TREE AFTER 81 YEARS.

The LeSueur, Mimi, News tells
ABOUT a startling discovery made re-
Gently on the farm of Edward Gleek
OF Ottawa township in the wood near
the river. In clearing piece of land
II became necessary to cut down
gigantic white oak tree, which broke
IN railing, disclosing the fact that it
was hollow for distance of about
10 feet, beginning several feet above
the ground and the cavity ending in
large opening concealed among the
branches of the lower side of the
tree, which leaned considerably. With
IN this hollow was found by the hor-
rified choppers the mummified body Of
man, not at all decayed, but dried
and shrivelled by the lapse of time
into something rivaling the best
Egyptian art. Mr.. Gleek, on being
summoned by the frightened labor
ers, recognized at once in the mummy
the body of Jean LaRue, a former
servant of Mr.. Gleek, who had mys-
teriously disappeared from the farm
the Both day of August, 1862.
On the day, which was during the
Sioux uprising, a boat load of SOL
diers on their way up the Minnesota
1shly discharged their muskets many
times as they steamed up the river
above Henderson, carrying terror to
the hearts Of the people along the riv-
er who were already about to flee
from the dreadful Indians At Lee
Sueur one of the bullets thus dis
charged wounded small boy, Cyrus
McEwen, in the leg.
Mr.. Gleek says that when Jean La
Rue heard the firing he seemed to
nearly lose his reason from fear,
rushed into the house, seized his rifle
and some other belongings, including
about $500 in money, and fed into the
woods. He must have known of this
hollow tree, sought to hide there,
slipped down too far, and being un-
able to extricate himself, must have
persisted there where his body was
preserved in the living oak, failed to
decay. His rifle, bullet pouch and
powder horn were found by him and
the money, $7S3.50, was fund in his
pocket.
Also there was found the diary
which Mr.. Gleek says LaRue always
faithfully kept, and in it undated, but
on the page following the one dated
Friday, August 20, 1862, was written
in trembling words the following:
Cannot get out; surely must die.
If ever found send me and all my
money to my mother, Madam Susanna
LaRue, near Tarascon, in the pro-
vince Of Bouches Du Phone, France
Through the consul at Marseilles
Mr. Gleek will endeavor to learn
something of the dead mans relatives
but there is not much hope of doing
so at this late date.

He states that during the winter the
snow was waist deep and the climate
as cold as Iceland. During his long
stay there he was stationed with the
British troops. The grub was very
poor and he was tickled to death

HAZEL GREEN.

The News says:
Joe Fowler is home on leave. He is
still on the Arizona and is in the en-
gineer's division. He arrived in New
York harbor last week after a cruise
in most all the European waters,
touching at Greece and Turkey, where
Joe was sometimes on land duty
guarding the U. S. embassy during
disturbances there. He certainly is
getting to "see things" He leaves
again July 22nd.
Last Friday set of holes were
drilled for blasting and set off at 1880
at the Jefferson mine. 1t seems that
one charge did not explode at the
time but did go off about l.: 80 when
five men were working near it. They
were badly shaken up but fortunately
none seriously injured

killed by lightning in the pasture last

how should I treat a lame duck?
A. Let the guinea pig use the lame
ducks crutches and watch if both
won't convalesce.
E. M am girl 16 years old and

year ago. Now l find my feelings to-
ward him have. changed. l just don't
love him any more, although / can
have good time with him. Should
l marry him, as / promised?
A. We think if you marry now
you will regret it all your life. You
are entirely too young to be thinking
about marriage. Frankly tell the
young man you cannot marry with
out love, and ask him to release you;
wait a few years and then if you find
you can love him it will be plenty of
time to decide. Just now get inter
ested in good books and you will be
a whole lot better off.

matters. He started away on long

money, and promised to send her a
check-which he forgot to do. The

Dead broke. Landlord insistent.
