Sale of POppies in Princeton Village
Nets Approximately $3.50; Pub
lie Responds Generously.
Last Saturday, the legionaire flower,
the red poppy, was much in evidence
on the streets of our village. In the
morning the campfire girls, under the
direction of Mrs. Gerald Peterson and
Mrs. William Gfrerer, canvassed near
ly the entire village and sold the pop
pies on the streets. In the evening
some of the older women continued
with the work. Very few men or
women who wished to buy red pop
py were not given the opportunity to
do so last Saturday,.
The money received from the sale
of the flowers will be held in the
treasury of the Princeton auxiliary
and will be spent in furnishing relief
to any sick or disabled soldiers who
are in this vicinity or in relieving
their families.
Poppies were also placed on sale by
the auxiliary in Foreston, Greenbush,
Long Siding and Zimmerman. When
all reports are in it is expected the
total sales will amount to 5000.
The members of the auxiliary wish
to thank the public for it's generous
patronage.

tice, Returns and Surrenders
to Authorities.
Frank Graham, whose wife had
sworn out two warrants for nonsup-
|port Of their children Zone for each
child) and who for the past couple Of
weeks had given the police of the twin
cities a merry chase, in every instance
eluding capture, returned to Prince
ton last Saturday night and the fol-
lowing morning telephoned Deputy
Sheriff Young that he was ready to
give himself up and take his medicine,
or words to that effect. Fred had no
difficulty in locating him and he ac-
companied the official to the village
ice box and smilingly walked into the
iron cage.
On Monday morning Graham was
brought into the presence of that
''gust parsonage, the Hon. Judge
Keith. who has the reputation of
weighing court cases accurately in the
balance and melting out justice as it
should be dispensed.
County Attorney Doane, who prose-
cuted, explained the charges to Ora
ham and talked to him like father
on the uneven tenor of his ways. The
prosecuting attorney did not feel like
demanding that the extreme penalty
of the law be imposed. He did not,
however, advise the defendant one way
or the other as to his plea, stating that
he had better consult an attorney.
The final outcome was that Graham
entered plea of guilty to nonsupport
on one count-the second count being
quashed- was sentenced to 90
days in Hennepin county Jail.
This sentence was, however, upon
the recommendation of County Attor-
ney Doane, suspended by Judge Keith
upon the promise of defendant to 20
to work, provide for his family and
keep away from moonshine.

SLAYER TAKES HIS LIFE
:. N. Parks and Two Little Fier0
Children Are Witnesses to the
Cold-Blooded Tragedy.

Mrs. Ralph Fiero, formerly Miss

Mrs. c. N. Parks of Wyanett, was shot
to death by farm hand named John
Moses employed on the mountains
ranch of her husband, 20 miles west
of Lead, S. D., on May 20. Ralph
Fiero is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. C.
Fiero of Wyanett. The story of the
tragedy, as near as can be ascertained,
is as follows:
Moses, the farm hand, had been at
tentive to Mrs. Fiero, who repulsed his
advances. During the cbsence of her
husband in the east Moses is alleged
to have asked her to elope with him
and, upon her refusal, to have threat
ened her with a shotgun. Upon her
refusal to comply with his request,
saying that she preferred death to-
clipping, he fired two shots at her, both
taking effect and killing her almost
instantly. Moses then so severely
wounded himself that he died while be-
ing taken to the hospital.
C. N. Parks, father of Mrs. Fiero.
was visiting at his sons ranch and
witnessed the shooting, as did also
Mrs. Fiero's two little children.

Supreme Court Rules on Alien Bonus.

Supreme Court Rules on Alien Bonus.
The state supreme court has put a
clamp on the allowance of soldiers
bonus to aliens who claimed exemption
because of such alienage but were
later indicted into the service. The
court affirms the soldiers board of re-
view in denying the claim of Gust L.
Rydigcr for sum of $210.
Rydiger, native of Sweden, came
to Minnesota in 1912. In 1914 he filed
declaration Of intention to become a
citizen. On June 5, 1917, he registered
for the draft and claimed exemption
on the ground he was an alien. He
was indicted into the service Feb
ruary, 1918, and served for Is months.
The decision will save the state be-
tween $4,000 end 100000. It also
will make it possible for the soldiers
bonus board Of review to speed up dis
posal of many claims, which were held
in the files, the rulings on which
hinged on the decision in this case.
Rydiger's claim was filed under the
act of 1921 amending the state SOL
diers' bonus law. It provided that
zone who was entitled to exemption
as an alien Of a neutral country
should not be deemed to have sought
to avoid service. This did not cover
the case Of "declarant alien," the
court holds.
'tThe act had in view," it says, "the

clarant aliens of neutral country

OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES.
Greenbush Has Four Candidates fol
County Commissioner; Fred
Newton Files.

Newton Files.
May 29 was the last day on which
candidates could file for county Of
fees. Charles L. Freer of Cove and
Otto Henschel have filed for county
treasurer. Earl E. Hummel of Hay
land and Walter Peltier have filed for
county auditor. Fred w. Thomas and
| A. G.. Osterberg of Mi.aca are candi-
dates for the office of register of
deeds.
The county commissioner in the
second district that is composed of
Greenbush is to be elected this year.
Four candidates have filed: John H.
Grow, Abel Engman, T. w. Thompson,
and the present commissioner, John
Levau.
In the fourth district, which includes
the townships of Milo, Milaca and
Page, three candidates have filed for
! commissioner: John Axell, the pres
ent incumbent; J. w. Chisholm of For
eston; and E. L. Davis of Milaca.
| In the first district composed of
Princeton township there would be no
commissioner elected this year if the
regular schedule were followed. How
ever our present commissioner holds
his office only by appointment, hav-
ing been selected to fill the unexpired
term of the late Forest Cater. It had
not generally been supposed that it
would be necessary for the district to
elect commissioner this year, the un-
Outstanding being that Fred Newton
would hold office until the time for our
regular commissioner election. A few
days ago this matter was taken up
with the attorneys and it developed
that there was some difference of
opinion in regard to the length of
term of office to which Mr.. Newton
was appointed. To eliminate all tech
nical objections and legal difficulties
for the other county officers and for
his constituents in this district, Mr..
Newton decided to file in the regular
way and this year become a candidate
for the office of county commissioner.

VILLAGE TO HOLD
BOND ELECTION
Voters on Monday to Decide if This
Village Will Improve and Ex-
tend Water System.
ESTIMATED COST is $4,000
Five Eighths of All the Votes Cast
is Number Required to Pass
the Bond Issue.

by the voters next Monday. Commits
sioner Babcock of the state highway
department. has advised us to this year
get our streets in condition for paw
ing because next year, unless some
thing unforeseen occurs, he expects
that the Scenic highway through
Princeton will be paved. Mr.. Babcock
can Of course make no definite promise
on such a proposition, but are we suf-
ficiently interested in the paving
project to take his advice as other
towns in the state have done? AS has
been previously explained, the high
way department will not pave streets
which are later to be torn up excavat-
ing for sewer and water pipes. Be-
fore Main street is paved we must
lay permanent sewer and some
water mains.
The water and light commission has
advised the residents Of this town that
a new we'll is needed as the present
water supply is inadequate. More
over the water itself is unsatisfactory
It would seem advisable to install the
new pumping station at the same time
that the new water mains are being
laid. This has greatly increased the
cost of the project. However, moth
ing is to be gained by lodging facts
that must sooner or later be faced.
If we are to have village water we
must pay for it.
The $4,000 spent on the water sys-
tenn will be assessed to the whole vii
:lage. The cost of the new sewer is
not included in the bond issue, which
is for the water system only
Approximately 62 per cent of the
cost of the new sewer will be assessed
to the abutting property. The re-
naming 38 per cent willabc assessed
pro rata on basis of area, so much on
each lot, on all the property in the
sewer districts which will eventually
use the outlets laid in this new system.
Only the property in sewer districts
one and two would then be assessed
for the new sewer. It is estimated
that the sewer assessment on all lots
in districts one and two that will not
abut on the new system will be a little
less than SO per lot.
According to our state laws at least
so per cent of the cost of a sewer sys-
tenn must be assessed to the abutting
property and of course all of it may
be. However the village generally
pays certain portion of the cost.
The engineer, Mr.. Rowat, states that
in only 10 per cent of the villages of
the state has the entire cost of the
sewer system been paid by the abut-
ting property.
Most of us are not overburdened
with money at the present time and
the Union would not advocate the
passing of these bonds now if it did
not seem that the village OF Princeton
might lose considerably if action is not
taken in regard to laying water and
sewer systems. We are all proud of
our village and want to see her de-
velop. We cannot have improvements
unless we pay for them. Every voter
in the village, every man and woman,
should go to the polls Monday to cast
his or her ballot.
