the two publications and of the
newspaper syndicate? If the docu-

The Nation expresses the hope
that the Investigators now going on
as to similar charges against United
States Senators will be enlarged to
cover every phase of this matter.

HEARST MEXICO
EXPOSE RAPED
BY The NATION
Publication Defies Accuser
of Senators to Make
Good His Charges.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-To show
how lightly it regards Hearst's So
called Mexican" documents, the
Nation prints on its front cover to-
day q photostat of one of them,
which purports to authorize an ex-
penditure by the Mexican govern
ment of 5000 to the Nation and
it's editor, Oswald Garrison Willard,
las payment for subscriptions and
propaganda in favor of the govern
ment of Mexico"
The Nation challenges Hearst to
explain why, if he believed the doc
ume11ts genuine, he deleted the
names Of Willard and the Nation
from the Photographic reproduction
which appeared in the New York
American and demands that he
print now the name Of the other
American publication and the name
Of the American newspaper syndi-
cate against which similar charges
were made.
The Nation says that the docu-
ment in which its name appears
first was submitted to Willard by a
Hearst representative on Nov. 10
last. At that time Willard stated
that neither he nor his paper had
received such money from the Mex
lean government or any Mexican at
any time and that IL the document
were printed by Hearst, he would
take legal steps against him.

Lindbergh Not Planning
to Fly Across Pacific
Settled Rumor During Talk With
Mayor Grimes at Little Falls
Last Week

Little Falls, Sept. Colonel
Lindbergh up to a week ago had
no intention to fly trans-Pacific
flight. He made a statement to this
effect to Mayor Grimes during the
course of their conversation while
Indy was here for the homecom-
ing.
"A news story from the Twin
Cities this morning told of the col
onel's plans to attempt flight to
China with DR.. Tien Lai Huang,
Cantonese major, and H. J. Lynch,
one of Lindbergh's first instruct
ors. The plans were reported to
have been announced in st. Paul
Friday night by DR.. Huang, who
flew to st. Paul from Fargo yes
terday. =
Mayor Grimes today said that
he had asked Lindbergh in casual
way if he planned to make the
Pacific hop, a rumor that has come
up several times since the Atlantic
flight, and that he was sure from
the Colone's reply and he had nc
such intention, then, and probably
has none now.
Lindbergh also put another rum
or to rest, while on his home town
visit. He will not return to the
University of Wisconsin. He il
quoted as saying that a university
course would be of no special ben.

Former Resident
Died Recently
Mrs. A. w. Lancaster Moved From
Sank Centre AZ Years Ago
Buried at Spokane, Wash.

News was received this week
which will be of interest to many
of the old settlers of Sank Centre
concerning Mrs. A. w. Lancaster,
who passed away in Hillyard, Spo-
kane, Wash, suburb on Sunday,
Aug. %.
Many will remember her as Miss
Annie W'orthington and it is un-
derstood she left here about AT
years ago. Nothing had been
heard of this lady for several
years until about two weeks ago
when Mr.. and Mrs. John Law re-
ceived a visit from Albert Worth
ington, nephew of Mrs. Lancast-
err who left here AT years ago. On
inquiring about Mrs. Lancaster
they were informed she was still
living and they were surprised a
week later to receive news that she
had died while her nephew was on
vacation in these parts. She
passed away at the home of her
son, S. G. Lancaster, with whom
she was visiting at the time. She
made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Geo. Ellis of Pullman,
Wash. Another son, l.. w. Lam
caster, also survives her. The de-
ceased was "a years of age and
the Spokane paper speaks of her
as ga woman of unusual high
character and womanly qualities,
a true Christian and one who was
highly respected and loved by
those who have known her through
the many years she has resided
here.
Special interest attaches to this
lady as she was one of the charter
members of the First Congrega-
tional church of Sank Centre. She
was buried on Tuesday, Aug. 80,

Tests were conducted this year at
the central station on the Univer-

tons throughout the state, at
Crookston, Morris, Waseca, Du-

The test plots are expected to
yield about 100 bushels of Mar
quillo wheat. The entire output
will be seeded next year and care
full tests made during the growth
of the plant. By the end of anoth-

1900 bushels of seed, which will
be distributed among the farmers
of the state. The fields will be in

NECK OF WILLARD
Man BROKEN
Cecil Olson, Victim of Auto
mobile Accident Near
Sank Centre Friday
WAS TWENY YEARS OLD
Died This Thursday Morn
ing-Car Driven by Fred
Taylor, Also of Willard

Cecil Olson, aged 20, of Willard
Mimi, died at the City Hospital
Sank Centre, this Thursday morn
ing at 700 o'clock.
The young mans neck was brok-
en- Friday evening at about $3.50
when a Studebaker sedan owned
and driven by Fred Taylor, a Vii
lard young man, turned over on its
side on Highway No. % about one
mile southwest Of Sank Centre.
The young men were enroute to
Willard from trip to Melrose.
They were probably driving at a
high rate Of speed and the acct
dent occurred about 20 rods south
of sharp curve in the road.
When the car turned over it was
on the wrong side of the highway
in front of a driveway on the
farm occupied by Charles Pend
roy. The marks on the highway
indicated that the breaks had been
suddenly thrown on. There might
have been a cow or some other
animal approaching the highway
which caused Mr.. Taylor to apply
the brakes at once. He was so con
fused after the tragedy that he
was unable to make a clear state
ment.
Young Olson was thrown so that
the back of his neck was across
the window casing in the door.
It was nearly an hour after the ac-
cident before he was released. He
was taken at once to the hospital
where diagnosis disclosed that
his neck was broken and the spinal
cord nearly severed. That he ling
cred until this Thursday morning
without expiring is remarkable.
The deceased is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. C. w. Olson cf Willard,
pioneer residents of Pope county.
Mr.. Taylor is son of Mrs. Taylor
of Willard.
The remains were taken to Viii
lard Thursday forenoon.

The registration on Monday

Gaping in a stolen automobile.
It was in this bank that the
cashier, H. C. Bjone was slain last
February %, when the bandits
robbed it of $4,000.
The bandits entered the bank at
about 10 A. M. today, looked
about the lobby for a few minutes
and then drew their guns, order
ing the cashier, assistant cashier
and a patron to "stick 'em up"
While the three were compelled
to lie on the floor, the bandits
went to the till and the vault, tax
ing only currency and silver.
The bandits escaped in a taxi
which they had stolen the night
before from Jack Aldrich of VAL
ley City, which is about 80 miles
from Verona.
l.. r. Walden, the present
cashier, and Mike Weber, farmer
from Waterloo, Iowa, were sitting
in an office outside the cage of
the bank when the bandits entered.
Donald Scramm, assistant cashier,
was behind the cage. The bandits
ordered Walden and Weber behind
the cage and made them lie on
the floor. While two of the men
covered the three on the floor, the
other pulled the front window cur
tain down and locked the front
door. The bandits went through
the till, which contained about
$500, according to Mr.. Walden,
and after putting this money into
a bag, entered the vault which had
just been opened in preparation
for the days business. The money
in the vault was contained in a
safe which also was open.

the men returned to Walden and
said "Where's the rest of the
Dough-"
Walden replied "We haven't got
any"
The bandit then said "Don't get
smart" and swore at Walden.
The bandits then asked the loca-
ton of the back door and after be-
ing told by Walden, ordered the
three victims into the vault, shut
the door, twirled the combination
and left.
While the exact amount of the
loot has not been determined to-
day, it is believed to have been at
least $4,000.

Coast-to-Coast Trip
Recalls Memories of
Old Time TraDel


The airplane, automobile

rapid travel have long out
Swallowed the covered wagon
which is at the present time
merely a matter of history.
Folks nowadays prefer to
travel at a rate of speed that
will take them places in short
order, so that they might en-
Joy a visit in the distant coun-
try and return to their vari-
GUS occupations within week
or two.
|. Sacks, of Chicago, how
ever, has a different idea of
travelling, and hence started
a coast to coast trip in a
small covered wagon, drawn
by two French Shetland pom
les. He left his ranch near
Nashville, Tennessee, two
years ago, and had up to the
time of arriving in Sank Gen.
tire travelled 5000 miles. His
destination is Chicago, his
home.
Mr.. Sacks reminds one of
the long forgotten West when
men wore long hair and car
ried guns. He is rugged of
appearance and the years lay
lightly upon his shoulders, for
his IL years of life were liv-
ed in the great outdoors. He
eamped out during the entire
trip and with the exception of
a few months spent in Cali
fornia, he travelled continu-
ously. He raised the ponies
on his ranch and the idea of
this mode of travel came to
him while watching the stur-
dy little animals develop.
He receives no remuneration
and there are no prizes for
this tour, however, he stated
that a gift awaited him in
