special work will be to protect the
interests of the game and fish in
Western Stearns and Todd counties.
The gentleman is ideally fitted for
the position and his appointment gave
general satisfaction to the commun-
ity. In looking after his work, Mr..
Harrison will have the close coop
Grafton of the Sank Centre, Grey
Eagle, and Long Prairie Rod & Gun
organizations. This section of the
state has been entirtly without a
game warden for several years with
the result that much illegal fishing
and hunting has been done. The
Herald predicts that with Mr.. Har-
rison on the ground, conditions will
improve; if they do not, it is an alb
solute certainty that the law violat-
ers will have an opportunity to tell
their story to the Judge.

Stevens County Boy Kills
Father Defending Mother
Donnelly Farmer Angered by Dress,
Slain After Attacking Family
Booze the Cause

Morris, May 81 Gerge Smith,
ST., as years old, living Tour miles
west of Donnelly, was slain by his 10
year old son, who came to the de-
tense of his mother, sister and young
er brother after they had been at
tackled by the drink crazed head of
the household, according to word
brought here by a deputy sheriff.
Smith, according to deputy, came
home late in the day and began abus-
ing his wife and daughter.
Harry Smith, 16 year old son, at
tempted to save his mother and sister,
but was obliged also to keep out of
reach of his maddened father.
Then George Smith, Jr., blowing
in the field, heard the cries of the
women and saw them dashing about
the house. Running to the house, he
confronted his father.
A yoke, used in other times to car
ry pals of water, was at hand, and
this George, Jr., used to poke his
faher in the stomach, keeping the
older, heavier man at a distance.
Harry grabbed his fathers clothing
from behind, both boys trying to stop
their parents rush. The father, how
ever, kept up his rush, and obtained
shovel, which he swung viciously at
his namesake's head. George, Jr.,
ducked, the sharp spade of the shovel
sliced the sleeve from the arm on
which he caught the blow.
The father was muttering that he
would get the shotgun in the house.
and George, Jr., seeing he could do
nothing against the shovel, swung
the pail yoke aginst his fathers head.
In falling the older man struck his
head on a wagon wheel, and died.

Interesting Memorial Day
Exercises In Sank Centre
Graves of Soldier Dead Decorated
FIR. Fearon Principal Speaker in
the Afternoon

aDecoration Day was most appro-
priately observed by the citizens of
Sank Centre, Friday of last week.
The parade moved from the corner
of Fifth and Main streets promptly
ait 1000 o'clock, headed by the
Sank Centre band. The parade was
in charge of Marshal-of-the-day May
or VIM. Parker. To the Herald it is
very regrettable that more ex-service
men of the World War do not take
enough interest in Decoration Day
to observe it with the thinning ranks
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
The time will probably come, how
ever, when the World War veterans
will appreciate the Importance of
Memorial Day observance.
Scout Master Morgan and his 81
boys were in line to man.. and the
Machine Gun Company in charge of
Its. Austin and Dewey O'Gara, made
a very impressive. showing. The
parade moved north on Main to
Third, thence east on Third to Ash
street where they were picked up in
buses, trucks and automobiles and
conveyed to Greenwood cemetery
where the impressive services of the
American Legion were conducted over
the grave of the late j. A. Norris at
the close of which taps were sounded
by Bugler Ben Allen.
The services in the Junior High
Auditorium in the afternoon attract
ed a good sized audience who en-
joyed the splendid Decoration Day
address delivered by Rev. John A.
Fearon, pastor of Our Lady of the
Angels Catholic church. Lincoln's
famous Gettysburg address was rem
dered by Victor Key with feeling
and intelligent interpretation. The
numbers furnished by the pupils of
the Sank Centre school rounded out
q very enjoyable afternoon program.

WILLARD "AG. !" MAN
GORED BY MAD BULL
p. E. TATE HAS NARROW ES.
CAPE FROM INSTANT DEATH
WEDNESDAY
BROUGHT TO THIS CITY
RIGHT LUNG PUNCTURED AND
LEGS BADLY LACERATED-
RECOVERY EXPECTED

P. E. Tate, Agricultural man in the
Willard public schools, was very SER
iously injured on the c. Penny farm,
two miles north of Willard, Wednes-
day afternoon about 800 o'clock,
when he was gored by pure bred
Guernsey bull.
At the time the accident occurred
none of the Penny men folks were
about; the animal had broken out Of
the lot where he was usually kept
and the young man put him back.
AS he was leaving the lot the bull at
tackled him without warning, and the
miracle is that he was not killed out
right. He succeeded however, in
getting outside of the lot before he
fell.
Medical assistance was summoned
from Willard where hasty examina-
ton was made and it was decided to
bring him to the Sank Centre hospit-
al as rapidly as possible. A COM
plete examination here disclosed the
fact that his right lung had been
punctured and that there are several
cuts on his limbs, to the bone, besides
many minor bruises.
The young man is about % years
of age, very rugged, and this Thurs
day morning he was resting as COM
fortably as could be expected under
the circumstances. Unless unexpect-
ed complications develop, he will re-
cover.
Mr.. Tate is finishing his third year
in the Willard school. His home, the
Herald understands, is at Madelia,
Mimi. He is very well liked by the
people of Willard and the patrons of
the school. The bull is pure bred
Guernsey of a splendid type and prior
to yesterday afternoon when he at
tackled Mr.. Tate he had not develop
ed any vicious symptoms.

Sank Centre Cleans Up
Alex In Golf Tournament
But the Margin Was Small, Five Up
Good Sportmanship Displayed
! By Participants

Sixteen representatives of the
Sank Centre Country Club met a
like number of enthusiasts from Alex
andria in the first real tournament of
the season at the local golf links,
Sunday afternoon. The tournament
was very closely contested and when
the totals were figured it was found
that Sank Centre had won by five
up.
But very few of the local golfers
played up to their usual standard
Sunday, and it is presumed that the
visiting players are capable of max
ing better showing on their home
links.
Good craftsmanship and golf Ell
quette was displayed during the en-
tire tournament which attracted a
gallery of about one hundred people.
The following is the summarized
score made by each player. The first
