Still Destroyed Near Herman

Sheriff Oscar H. Hanson with
deputy sheriffs Charles Cater of Her
man and Martin Laastuen of Elbow
Lake, discovered a still working at
full blast on the Theodore Konetz
farm two and one-half miles west of
Herman Monday afternoon, July 8.
The still consisted of a large wash
boiler with copper tubing attached
to the cover. 1t was in operation
when the officials arrived and one
quart of moonshine had already gath
cred in the jar at the end of the coil.
Fifty-three quarts of moonshine were
found and four barrels of mash con-
tanning about $50 gallons. Two bar
rels of mash were discovered in the
hog house and two in the barn. The
mash was real corn mash.
Konetz was arrested, taken to Her
man, and arraigned before J. B.
Hodgson, Justice of the Peace. He
plead guilty and was fined 800 and
costs which he paid. The still was
destroyed and the mash and moon
shine were emptied out.
Konetz had been selling his pro-
duct to others who had done the re-
failing. 1t is expected that other ar
rests may follow.-Grant County

JIGGS HAS TASTE OF
HIGH LIFE In WILDS
Kitty Finds Confinement Irksome
and Seeks Adventure in North
Woods

Up in Itasca State Park nature
calls to the visitor. And when ma
ture calls from out the twilight of
summers evening the call is we'll
nigh irresistible. Leastwise so
Jiggs thought couple of weeks
back while sojourning at Douglas
Lodge at the park.
Ordinarily Jiggs is very demure
and se1f-respeeting kitty, the adored
pet of little Margaret Sylvander of
this city. Several weeks ago Marg-
aret, her little brother Sammy, her
father c. B. Sylvander, and her
grandmother Mrs. W. J. Burton,
took a motor trip up into North Da-
kota and back through Itasca State
park. Being as the whole family
was included in the trip Margaret
did not wish to deny her Flickertail
relatives the pleasure of visit from
one of the important members of
the household, Jiggs. So Jiggs, in
a basket that only a very aristocratic
pussy can appreciate, went along
and Jiggs enjoyed the trip into
Dakota and back into Minnesota i'm
mensely as could be told by the in
creased contentment with which she
purred at every opportunity.
All went we'll until the party
stopped for a few days at Douglas
Lodge in the state park. Along
about the evening before their de-
parture for home the beauty of the
woods, the weird crys of the night
and the enhancing charms of
wilderness twilight proved too much
for Jiggs. Always having been a
strictly refined and domesticated
tabby Jiggs had never tasted of the
high adventure of the wilds nor
tickled her palate with the juicy It'd
bits of the wilderness. Consequent
ly the morning of departure found
Jiggs' basket empty and no Jfggs in
the immediate vicinity.
A hurried search failed to reveal
her whereabouts Gloom settled
down upon the Junior members of the
party as they journeyed homeward.
The proprietor of the lodge kindly
volunteered to continue the search
and return Jiggs if found. Thurs
day of last week Jiggs arrived home
via express and is once more purring
contentedly on the Sylvander hearth
with only an occasional pang of re-
gret as she dreams of the wilds of
Itasca State park.

w. F. Cooley Returns

w. F. Cooley, accompanied by his
daughter, Miss Esther Cooley, ar
rived home from a seven-week visit
to the Pacific coast Tuesday night.
Mr.. Cooley and his daughter whom
he met at Glasgow, Mont, on his way
west, visited with friends and rela-
tives at Seattle, Wash, Portland and
other Oregon cities.
According to Mr.. Cooley, business
and general conditions on the west
coast are very similar to those To-
cally, that section of the country
having gone through the same kind
of a period during the past two
years. Better conditions are said
to be on the way there and high hopes
for the return of normal conditions
are held. According to the local
banker, Portland is already planning
for world fair there in 1925. Con-
siderable work has also been done at
Portland for the bringing of large
sea-going vessels up to the city by
by the dredging of the bar at the
breakwater.

PIONEER PASSED nth y
MILESTONE SATURDAY
w. L. Coyler Filed Soldiers Home
stead in 1879 and Has Made =
Home Here Since

Last Saturday, July 8, w. l.. Col
year of Morris and John D. Rookie
feller of New Jersey had birthdays.
Mr.. Colyer passed his 77th milestone
while the oil king celebrated his 83rd
birthday. Both have been successful
in life and are now engaged in the
same line of business, according to
Mr.. Colyer, that of doing nothing.
Mr.. Colyer also intimates that the
man of the big mosquito state has
laid by few more sheckles than he
has during the past As years.
While John D. was industriously
laying the foundation for his i'm
mense fortune back in the early six
ties, Mr.. Colyer was wearing a faded
blue uniform and fighting for his
country. This probably accounts for
his little later start toward money
making and the resultant less bulky
fortune of the local pioneer. Mr..
Colyer filed a soldiers homestead
in Stevens county in 1879 and has
been a resident of the county since
that time with the exception of the
past several winters which he spent
in California, Florida and Cuba.
Mr.. COlyer still drives his own car
and rides in airplanes although he
admits that it is now more than a
year since he has taken spin
through the upper regions. While
admitting the vim and vigor of Min
nesota winters, Mr.. Colyer has found
life little more attractive in south
ern climes during the past half dozen
winters and plans again to invade
Florida this coming winter. For
more than forty years Mr.. Coyler
was in the undertaking business
when two years ago he sold out to
his partner H. C. Olson.
Saturday evening Mr.. Colyer cele-
brated his birthday with few in
innate friends and relatives and re-
ceived congratulations from his son
and daughter, DR.. W. L. Colyer and
Mrs. H. H. Stevens of Minneapolis as
we'll as many friends. Rheumatism
and taxes are about the only things
that bother him to any great extent
these days and he escapes these
several months during the winter in
the south

Chokio school petition for enlarge
ment of the district, the hearing be-
ing postponed by request until the

In making up their budget for next
year, the commissioners succeeded in

than it was last year.
