Accident on Scenic HIGHWAY.

Last Thursday afternoon a fine new
Studebaker touring car capsized on the
Scenic highway about two miles north
of Princeton. The car was from Cros-
by, Minnesota. The occupants did not
appear to be seriously hurt although
they all had ben cut more or less
and were somewhat besmeared with
blood. The car did not seem to be
damaged except the top. 1t certainly
seems strange that such accidents &C.
cur on perfectly smooth, open road.
The driver may have been travelling a
little too fast in the loose gravel.

GYPSY PARTY IN THE WOODS.
Campfires Are Kindled on the Banks
of the Rum and the Gtpsies
Moko Morrv

Make Merry.
Tuesday evening 'riotous band of
gypsies and hobos gathered in the
woods on the banks of the. river for a
nights revel. Like all really up=to-
date gypsies they travelled in cars The
company assembled in front of Ira
'Stanley's residence, journeyed about
half mile north on Main street and
then made it's way into the woods on
the banks of the river.
It appeared that some of the clan
had made preparations for the party.
The woods were lighted by jack-o-
lanterns and huge piles of brush had
been collected. The fires were soon
burning brightly and the livelier men,
bers Of the tribe led by"Joe Mossman
joined in real Indian war dance. A
goodly stock of provisions had been
collected in the meantime and each
member armed with a roasting stick
proceeded to prepare his own supper.
There was no dearth of wieners, ap-
pies, sandwiches, coffee or marsAmal-
lows and no>one left those campfres
without much satisfied feeling.
A real witch joined the party and
camped under the pine boughs by one
of the fires. The more venturesomc
members Of the company visited her
corner and heard What the future holds
in store for them.
All the clan gathered around the
last fire that was kindled and conclud-
ed their evenings party with few of
the old songs. y
Although the gypsies may not ap-
pear to be altogether courteous, they
are not an ungrateful people and no
membcr~of the band left the camp
fires Tuesday night without thanking
their comrades. Wava and Leslie
Byers who had planned the whole af-
fair and made all arrangements for
the party. 1t is hoped they will have
another meeting when the leaves fall
again next year.

Last High School Football Game.


The Princeton high school football
team again showed craftsmanship by
going to Elk River and losing the
game only by score of 20 to 7. Elk
River, though outweighing our team
some, was more of match than any
team our boys have played.
In the first half Clement Sanford
intercepted one of Elk Rivers forward
passes and, from one end of the field,
went to within five yards of our goal.
Then, on our first down, Reichard re-
ceived the ball and made the first
touchdown of the game.
With the second half came Elk
Rivers victory. Our team could not
make much more Roadway; two of
their long forward passes gave Elk
River two touchdowns, but their last
one was made by gradual gains.
This is the last football game of the
season for our team. The last two
games have been cancelled, the one
with Milaca, the other with St. Cloud.
Both were to be played here. Our
team has been handicapped because
of the equipment used and the light
ness of the eleven, but they have
showed themselves good sportsmen in
spite of the odds.
The basketball season is now COM
ing on with fine expectations of bet
ter success. The first game is sched-
uled with St. Francis on December g:
We expect the people Of Princeton, to-
attend as many of our games as pos
sible and stand by their team:

Car Goes Into Ditch.

A car driven by one of the Emory
boys, which contained besides himself
another boy and couple Of girls
zigzagged into ditch north of Prince
ton on Sunday, the machine standing
erect on it's nose. w. H. Smith
brought the girls, who were uninjured,
to town and Emory sustained injuries
which necessitated his being taken to
the Northwestern hospital for repairs.
Eyewitnesses say that the zigzagging

commissioner, has been appointed
regional director Of unemployment in

ANNUAL Con VEN
ton IN ARIM0R !.
Followers Of Christ Hold Four Days
4 Services in Village and Com
mand General Respect.
700 MEMBERS, ARE PRESENT
Peaceful People Whose Aim is to
Live in Accordance-With the
~:.. Scriptural Teachings. ~: =.

Seven hundred people-men, women
and children members of religious
cult from all parts of Minnesota and
a few from ether states, arrived here
on Thursday to hold their annual con-
vention, for which they had rented the
armory. They adjourned and returned
to their homes on Tuesday.
These people have, no designated
name for their organization, but, in
an interview with one of the leading
members he stated that they merely
sought to follow the teachings of
Christ and used the bible for their
text book. Upon being asked whether
they were so-called ".Holy Rollers"
he saidthat there was nothing in their
text book-the bible-which called for
rolling or anything of that sort, and
that it was foreign to their creed.
However, he stated, We do not mind
what people call us. We are peaceful,
conduct strictly scriptural services,
and we invite the public to attend our
meetings, express their opinions and
worship with us. Everyone is well
come.
Their stay with US proved that this
is true. They are peaceful people and
their services are strictly in conform
ance with the scriptures. Their minis
tiers read the scriptures to the congre-
cation, make explanation thereof, and
in their sermons adhere to gospel
truths. AS to the hymnal selections
they were rendered in creditable>
manner.
These people do not inject con-
demnatory remarks of any sort into
their sermons neither do they take up
collections. Their organization is.
maintained by voluntary contributions:
from members. They are plain, I'M
assuming people, happy intheir belief,
and there is no reason why they should
not be, as true Christianity rests in an
endeavor to walk in the footsteps of
the Savior.
Should they decide to hold their an
nual convention in Princeton next year
they will be welcome. Not word of
adverse criticism Of this organization
has been heard by the Union from any
source.

Railroad Strike Situation

The conference Of the railroad labor
board, called to settle the threatened
strike, concluded last night without
effecting settlement. Immediately
thereafter the leaders of the "Big
Five" announced that they would hold
a joint meeting with their executive
committees today. (Thursday) to de-
eide upon the next step to be pursued
by them.
Members of the labor board still en-
terrain hope that the strike will be
called off, but the situation at this time
looks ticklish.

: TOWNLEY LOSES APPEAL. :.
Must Serve Ninety Days il Jackson
: County Jail, Supreme Court Re
,,.= fusing to Review Case. G.

E County Jail, Supreme Court Re-
-. fusing to Review Case. / ]:
The United States supreme court
has refused to review the case Of A.
C. Townley, convicted of sedition in
Jackson. county more than two years
ago and, PROBABLY within a week, he
will be cast into a damp cell in that
county to expiate his crime. The pres
ident of the nonpartisan league is
lucky that he was not sentenced to
serve 80 years.. In the refusal Of the
United States supreme court to re-
view Townley's case he and Gilbert,
who was jointly convicted with him,
have lost their "last ditch" fight. '.
Townley and Gilbert were indicted
in April, 1918, for conspiracy to VIC
late the state law against obstructing
enlistments in the United States army
for the war with Germany. This only
started the fight. Attorneys for the
indicted men filed demurrer to the
indictment, alleging that no offense
against the law was shown. Judge E.
C. Dean overruled the demurrer, and
the attorneys then took an appeal to
the state supreme court. That de-
layed the case nearly year. The
court on May 2, 1919, upheld the order
by Judge Dean and sent the case back
for trial. The trial opened in June.
The jury on July IL, 1919, found the
defendants guilty. Their attorneys
asked stay, and were given 60 days.
Further steps in; theScase have been
as follows: T.:
Sept. Is, 1919-Judge Dean i'm
poses a sentence Of 80 days in jail,
but allows 60 day stay for motion
for new trial.
October, 1919, motion is made for
new trial. ..>
July 81, 1920-Judge, Dean denies
the motion for a new trial.
Aug. 2, 1920 Attorneys for Town
ley and Gilbert appeal to state SUI
preme court. j..
April 20, 1921-State supreme court
unanimously upholds the verdict and
the order denying new, trial.
May 4, 1921-Attorneys get an ex-
tension Of time in which to file re-
argument petition.
May 20, 1921-Pet;tion for reargu-
ment Of case filed. 49,.
July 16, 1921-State supreme court
declines to, allow reargument.
Aug. H., 1921-Attorneys petition
state supreme court to allow writ of
error, taking the case to the United
States supreme court, asking it to con-
slider the case on appeal: 1=.7e-::s
Oct. 1O-Petition formally received,
also brief from attorney general of
Minnesota opposing consideration of
appeal. -
Oct. 24-Supreme court at Washing
ton declines to receive appeal.
Backed by the financial resources
of the nonpartisan league, Townley
has been able to keep out of Jail for
three years and six months.

:Lightning Strikes. ArmOry.

Early Tuesday morning an electric
bolt descended upon the armory and
ripped the flagstaff to -smithereens,
scattering it in pieces upon the ground.
The current passed through the roof,
bored small holes in the basement
ceiling and temporarily incapacitated
the right arm of a young women
member of a religious cult who was
preparing breakfast. The armory was
occupied at the time by several hun
dred men and women of this cult, who
slept there, and it is indeed fortunate
that no greater injury resulted.
