Man Killed at
Sleepy Eye.
JOE MAIDL INSTANTLY KILLED
WHEN CARS PASS OVER
HIM.

A horrible accident occurred Mon
day afternoon, June 3Oth about four
o'clock in the Sleepy Eye yards of
the C. & N. w. Railroad when Joseph
NJ. Maidl, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Maidl Sr., of this city was instantly
killed when he fell from a moving
freight train and three cars passed
over him, severing the body at the
abdomen.
The young man had been afflicted
with epilepsy practically all his life
and showed signs of despondency
during the past several days. He
had remarked to the family that ne
wished to leave Sleepy Eye and go
to ST. Paul for employment. Mon
day afternoon shortly after three o.
clock he left home and went directly
to the railroad yards, saying nothing
about his intended departure to his
parents. At the yards he first went
into the caboose and when questioned
by the brakemen, stated that he want
ed to go to New Ulm. Refused a
ride in the caboose he walked down
the track toward the mill and caught
hold on box car and when the train
switched back toward the depot he
was seen riding between two cars.
The supposition is that he dropped
some magazines which he had taken
with him and in trying to get off the
car he slipped and fell across the rail,
three cars passing over the body be-
fore the train was brought to stop.
Coroner Rieneke of New Ulm was
summoned and pronounced it an ac-
cidental death.
Joseph Maidl was born in Sleepy
Eye February %, 1894, being past
thirty years of age at the time OF
his untimely death. Besides his
grief-stricken parents he leaves to
mourn his loss the following broth
ers and sisters: Max Maidl of Vase
ca; Andy, Anthony and Alexandra at
home; Mrs. C. L. Williams, Milwau-
kee; Mrs. Herbert Wardeska, Mil
waukee; Mrs. Kenneth Reid; Milwau-
kee, Mrs. Lester Berkner, Sleepy Eye
and Miss Cell Maidl of Redwood
Falls.

''MOOn" Holder Fined

Sheriff Kise called on Jim Albert
Jensen of Three Lakes Township,
west of Morgan last Wednesday.
Too much moonshine, one gallon, was
found on the place and so on Thurs
day the offender paid the limit for
maintaining a nuisance. The fine
was 500 and costs before Judge Mar
tins court.
In the campaign against the 18th
amendment violators it may be signi-
ficant to note that the offenders are
given the limit these days.

TERFERENCE WITH PROGRAM.

Grover M. Comet Of St. Paul, for
sofa State Forestry department, We'd
nesday was appointed state forester.
The state forestry board, in naming
Mr.. Comet to succeed W. T. Cox, dis

forestation."
The new forestry chief, who is a
graduate forester, was the unanimous
choice of the board His salary will
be $4,000 a year, the same as his pre-
decessor received.

tour in northeastern Minnesota, the
board met in executive session abroad

ed with the Comet appointment, ap-
proved of the budget for the fiscal
year 1924-25, and appointed Alex Nc
Neal Of Dayton, Mimi, for five years
as state timber appraiser, superinten-
dent of Itasca State park to succeed
the late E. r.. Hynes of Park Rapids.

ter's recommendation as to the use
of the annual legislative appropria-
tion of $190,000.
The meeting was unlike the last re-
gular session when Mr.. Cox was dis
missed, it being devoid of a single
wrangle. All of the members were
ready to vote for Comet and when
his name was placed before the meet
ing by Harry Gearhart of Duluth, the
newest member of the board, the ap-
pointment was unanimously approx
ed.

NORITY CANDIDATES READY
TO QUIT McADOO FIRM.

The Democratic convention is still
holding out in New York. All re-
cords for balloting were broken long
ago. For over a week they have
balloted steadily with McAdoo leading
Smith and Glass, Underwood, Rob-
inson, Ritchie, and John w. Davis far
down the list.
A proposal was made by the lead

delegates. A "round robbin' agree

except McAdoo, who declares he viii

Right now chances of nominating
a candidate within a few days are
very remote and the party leaders
are hunting vigorously for solution
to their problem.

RECEIVERS DENY MoEBS'
ARLINGTON HOTEL PLEA

Denying the right of Joseph J.
Moebs, owner Of the Arlington Hotel
building, to have the business sur
rendered to him, Joshua Evans, jr.,
Abner HI. Ferguson and Milton w.
King, receivers for Samuel Stein
berger, who conducted the hotel
have answered Moeb's petition, In
which he asked the court to require
the receivers to surrender posses
sion.
Moebs claimed that Steinberger
did not own the personal property
used in the business, but had only
lease which had been broken,
which latter assertion, however, Is
questioned by the receivers. The re-
ceivers also claim that Moebs holds
a fund of $4,000 as guaranty Of
rental under a lease which was made
for ten years and of which only
three had passed.
A schedule of the assets and
liabilities of Bhdinberger filed in
court today shows that the hotel

CHAPTER XIII
A S;onol-Fire?

Bayne Trevors' way had ever been
to play safe, the way of coward or
a wise man. Even now, no dnlbt he
was giving an account of himself in
legitimate endeavor at the lumber
camp, putting in his appearance at
his regular hour, safe miles lying be-
tween him and that which might oc-
cur upon the Blue Lake ranch, estab-
fishing alibis, conducting himself like
the man he wished the world to think
him. But in the mind of Bud Lee
there was no question, no doubt.
Rayne Trevors, or one of Bayne Ire
vors' gang, was even at this instant
holding Judith somewhere until this
colossal deal could be put over. Ire
vors or one of his gang-and Lees
face went whittier, his hands shut tight
err into hard fists, as there came to his
mind the picture of Quinnion's twist
ed face and evil, red.rimmed eyes.
"Well?" snapped Carson. what
now?"
"Theres going to be no sale in the
morning." said Lee and at the new
strange tone in Lees voice Carson
ierked up his head, thrusting it for
ward, peering at the other through
the moonlit night.
"Say it again. muttered Carson.
"IVho said so? Miss JUDITH"
sShe isn't here" replied Lee briefly.
Hasn't been her since Saturday
night
Now, with more cause than ever,
did Carson stare at him.
sThen what did Pollock Hampton
say sell for? BY cripes, if this is one
of that young op-omy-thumb's jokes,
I'm going up to the house an murder
him. That's all. An right now"
Lee laid hand on Carson's arm.
"Hold on, old-timer," he said short
ly. "We'u have talk with him after
a while. Now 1 want to talk with
YOU"
Contenting himself with the coolest
of brief outlines, Bud Lee told Carson
of Judith's absence and Of his own
suspicious. Carson, who had listened
to him gravely, at the end shook his
head.
THAT'S a pretty bald play, Bud" he
said slowly. 81 don't believe Trevors
would get that coarse in his work. 1t
doesn't look like him little bit"
Docs this sale look the least little
BIT like Judith? p demanded Lee sharp

heads this way, Carson? If she's got

Wordsworth is held up for the de-
risive gaze of future generations in the
journal of the fourth Lord Holland,
published in London.
His lordship was languid young
man of fashion, who employed part of
his leisure in the early days of the
Nineteenth century in keeping a rather
dull journal into which the unlordly
public is at length permitted to gaze

One paragraph, scrawled on the eve
ming of March 10, 1902, suffices, how
ever, to redeem the journal, for, the
more important topic of food being

Wordsworth:

hard voice. "rll take care Of Hamp-
ton here"
"You will, will your" cried Hamp-
ton.
With one bound he was at the table,
Jerking open a drawer. AS his hand
sought the weapon lying there, Bud
Lee was on him, throwing him back.
Carson looked at them a moment, then
went to the door.
You're right Bud" he said calmly
as he went out
Lee, forcing himself to show calm
ness like Carson's, said gently to
Hampton:
Cant you see the play? It's up
to you to kick in and stop It. There's
telephone; call up the buyers in
Rocky Bend. They're there now, or at
least their drivers are, if they're COM
ing out here in the morning. Tell
them the deal is Off"
"Can't l see?' said Hampton, with
ing out of Lees hands, on his way
to the door, "You bet 1 can see! If
you and Carson think that you can
run me"
Then, for good and all, Lee gave
over trying to reason with Hampton.
There was too much to be done TO

I'll stand for your high-handed &C.

At a look from Lee, Carson stepped
quickly forward, so that Hampton
stood between them.
"You come with u.s." and now Lee
no longer sought to be pleasant "And
keep still or We'll stop your mouth
with a yard of cloth. This way,
Carson"
With right and left arms gripped,
with tagging feet and furious eyes,
Hampton went between them to the
door. For an instant only did he
struggle: then, with a snort of dis
gust. seeing the futility of making a
fool of himself, he went quietly.
Just what he expected as result
of a visit to the girls room, Lee did
not know. He hoped for some sign

forcing him against the wall. AS he
tried to call out, Lees hand over his
mouth smothered his words.
you're coming with me-" he said
sharply. Fright now
Though he struggled, Hampton was
little more than a baby in the horse
foreman's muscular grip. Tripped,
with a heel behind his calf, he fell
heavily, Lee upon him. Both arms
were pinioned behind him, and Lees
neckerchief thrust into his mouth.
He writhed in impotent rage. His
outcries died in his throat, the loud
est of them not reaching Marcia's ears
above the creaking of her rocking
chair. Lee still held Hampton's tied
hands gripped in his own. So the
two men went out the back door.
down toward the corrals.
Seeing men hurrying from the bunk
house to the stables under Carson's
swapping orders, Lee called out for
Tommy Burkitt. And in a moment,
with bullying eyes, Burkitt came run
ming.
Bring out three horses, Tommy"
Lee commanded, giving no explana-
ton. Hurry, and keep your mouth
shut"
Burkitt obeyed Lee as he always
did, silently and unquestioningly. Very
soon he returned, riding, leading two
saddled horses.
"Get into the saddle, Hampton"
said Lee sternly. There's no time
for nonsense. Get up or I'll put you
up

What Bud Lee was thinking was:

Little things, each one in itself safe

For a full minute Bud Lee stood

face. Then, tossing the telegram to

His face had gone suddenly white.
