Frank Gruden, employed at a camp
north Of White Iron Lake, went to Ely
Friday and returned to camp under the
influence Of liquor. During an argu-
ment that resulted from his condition
he stabbed Frank Steiner in the left
arm, inf1icting cash several inches
long, also several smaller ones on the
body. Deputy Sheriffs Lomasney and
Ted West visited the camp late Fri
day night and arrested Gruden, whom
they lodged in the Jail at Ely until Sat-

Frank A. Day, veteran editor of the
Fairmont Sentinel which he establish
ed in 1874, died at Winona hospital
yesterday following stroke of paraly-
sis sustained on Tuesday when he ar
rived for visit to his daughter and
family. He was rs years of age and
has been prominent in newspaper and
political circles in the state for the
past 81 years or since his coming to
Minnesota from Iowa where he also
was connected with newspapers He
was elected state representative from
Martin County in 1878 and in 1886 he
was elected state senator and in 1895
became lieutenant governor as a Re
publican. He then joined the Bryan
movement and in 1905 was campaign
manager for Governor John A. John
son. Upon the election of Governor
johnson, MIR. Day became his private
secretary and served in this capacity
until the death of Governor Johnson
in 1909. Frank Day had many traits
which marked him as a man of i'm
portance. He was a rare wit and his
after dinner talks were edged with
keenness and to the point. We extend
our sincere sympathy to the bereaved
family.

able to go there and sign complaint

John Kalsich, of Ely, was killed on
the White Iron Beach road on Christ
mas Day, when his car turned over in
rounding corner. Appearances in
dictated that he had either prepared to
jump out, or that the door had be-
come unfastened but that the car had
overturned before he could get out
The top of the door had caught him
across the lower part of the head,
which was badly crushed and result
ing in his death before he was found
shortly afterwards. Deputy Coroner W.
l. Lomasney decided that death was
obviously accidental and deemed an
inquest unnecessary.

AN EXAMPLE OF TARIFF
BENEFITS.

The Evansville, Minnesota, Enter
prise, says it has been figured out that
farmers of that community have profit
ed close to $4,000 during the past
year by the tariff on butter. The
Evansville community is not large, the
town having population of only about
AS. This is a plain example of how
a reasonable tariff protects and en-
courages home farmers and industries
and thereby benefits the whole COM
munity

There is business to be secured in
every community but you must go
after it. Each year the contest for the
same grows keener and requires more
effort. The only concern in our city
that does not need to enter the con-
test is the postofflce. Uncle Sam is
perfectly independent. But all of the
balance of us must be up and doing if
we hope to succeed. The surest way
is to advertise. A man might be sue
cesSful if he does not use the news
papers, but he is the exception. The
history of all successful business men
is that they used the newspapers,
recognized as the best and safest
medium. Even the large mail order
houses have resorted to the aid of the
newspapers, which should be sufficient
evidence that advertising is highly
necessary. Take heed, retail dealers,
and go and do likewise. Saltwater

We once saw a prosperous town and
community nearly wiped out of exist
ence by everybody looking out for
himself. The grocer ordered his ham
from the supply house, the butcher
sent away for his hardware, and the
hardware merchant his health preser-
vations from medicine peddler. They
saved a few dollars on their purchases,
but they couldn't talk the sheriff out
of selling them out at auction. If you
don't hang together you are liable to
hang eparately.-Norwood Times.

That fellow Hubbard at Two Harbors
used considerable ingenuity in doing
away with his friend, Shipley. With
all his cunning he made one mistake
and this one was the mistake of COM
hitting the crime and thinking he
could get away with it. Instead Of
thinking it over before committing
the deed, he will have abundant time
in Saltwater to pick out the flaws in
his method of reasoning. Shipley had

Scarcely a pane of glass in the
entire garage remained intact. Near
~ every window was cracked by the
heat and discolored. A frame show
case in the front was reduced to
embers and the glass, the only plate
glass in the building was shattered
either by the heat or when the

Max Honeyman. owner of the
business. could not place an esti-
mate on the damage today. but he
is awaiting the arrival of apprais-
ers from the insurance companies
carrying policies on the building.
Chief Noble after cursory ex-
animation of the premises estimated
the losses at between $4,000 and
$4,000, with the latter figure likely
to be reached.
Noble Blanies Lighted Butt
In the opinion of the fire chief the
fire was caused by the dropping of
lighted cigar. cigarette or match on
the staircase, probably by someone
going between the two floors of the
building. AS far as Mr.. Honeyman
has been able to ascertain. no one
was in the garage after 1880 o'clock
when one of the salesman brought
in car and parked it on the main
floor. The fact that fire did not ap-
pear until three hours afterwards
would require three hours of smould-
ering. If the lighted cigarette theory
is correct.
The building, two stories high, was
one of the first Of the large public
garages built in the city. 1t was
erected about Is years ago by Will
liam J. Morrin. For several years
it was occupied by the Automotive
Sales and Service Corporation. Mr.
