OBTAIN HISTORIC STONE

st. Paul, September IA large
stone from the French prison wall that
centuries ago confined Joan Of Arc
has been placed in the Cathedral in
st. Paul and will be erected in the
charel of ST. Remy In the Cathedral,
it was announced today by Father
Lawrence F. Ryan, pastor OF the
ycafssdrsl; The STONE was sent to the late
Archbishop Ireland at the time he
was suffering in his last illness. Arch
bishop Ireland expressed much joy on
receiving the stone and told Father
Ryan that it was another link that
would bind the people of the old and
the new world.
Father Ryan said today that much
OF the history Of the stonelwas still
unknown but that 1t had been sent to
Archbishop Ireland by some friends
in France where the late rrelate< de-
livered his famous speech on General
lafayette about fifteen years ago.
The stone will be built into the
Chapel of st. Remy in the Cathedral,
according to Father Ryan because st.
Remy is the patron saint of the
Archbishop Ireland spoke to me
only the once about the stone," said
Father Ryan, "but the fact that It Is
one of the things in the life of Sains
Joan of Arc made 1t of great value
to Archbishop Ireland and the rest OF
U.S."
When st.oRemy's chapel is built the
stone, will stand out in bold relief
as 1t is about two feet in diameter

their duty. Many Of the district school
houses were built before the towns

now there are more Fords and cars

peared before Judge C. e. Callaghan

county.
He Had other Affairs.
While the specific charge against
Haradon was in connection with the
passing Of the worthless check men :
toned, which was drawn on the

tion developed that the young man
had dipped more deeply into wrong
doing than was specifically charged.

Chevrolet car. for which heN had paid
with a worthless check for 1897,
drawn on the Redwing State bank,
He hadN> secured possession Of this
car, which had afterwards been taken
back by the garage when on tele-
phone inquiry It was found the check
was no good. He told the court he
had planned to go In this car into
Wisconsin. and he had thought
when he got outside the state 1t
would be impossible to do any
thing to him in the way Of punish
ment He had planned the affair in
connection with AL. Howe Of Hagar.
Wis, not yet twenty one, he said. He
admitted to the court that he knew
he was doing wrong at the time and
that his father did not approve of his
