Excerpts from tho Herald of
20 Years Ago

The Waldorf restaurant moved
across the street late Sunday night
and when the sun rose Monday
morning it found Carter Matheis
comfortably esconced in the Yes
sey building serving customers
just as though nothing had hap
pened. Mr.. Matheis has the en-
tire building and occupies the
second story for living rooms. This
makes it more convenient for
him all around.
There were a few developments,
this week, in the grain stealing
case which was written up at
length in the last issue of The
Herald. One man who was prom
inently implicated in the matter
was sent for to go to St. Paul
where he has been "on the car
pet" What will be the result is
unknown here but it is quite gen.
orally believed that some people
will find themselves in serious
trouble before the railroad people
and state commission get through
with them. Two men representing
the commission spent day here
looking over the ground the latter
part of last week in the endeavor
to trace some twenty bushels of
wheat that were taken from a car
not many days before.
Mel Billed has just put in ten fine
Tungsten electric lights in his
store on Main street. The lights
are the finest electric burners
made and the way they illuminate
the handsome interior of Mr..
Bleid's store attracts attention and
elicits many compliments.
M. F. Nugent, of Glenwood,
deputy sheriff of Pope county,
was in Sank Centre Friday and
told the Herald about how he cap
tured Earl Tye, the young man
who burglarized M. C. Whitney's
store at Grove Lake.
1t seems that young Tye enter
ed the Whitney store with burg
larious intent on the night of Mon
day, Dec. Z. He took lot of
plumber, including provisions and
bedding, and ensconced himself in
the attic of the store. Thursday
afternoon, while ten or more men
We're in the store, young Tys
dropped down through hole in
the ceiling and plunged out of the
back window, terrorizing those
then in the store. He was without
overcoat and nlittens. He ran
from the place with some men in
pursuit, but as it soon became
dark, he escaped. He was traced
as far as Willard that night.
On Friday Deputy Nugent
started on the trail taking the 500
train north from Glenwood. 1t
seems that Tye had gone as far as
Carlos on foot, then taking the 500
road and leaving the train at Ell
mora, a station in Otter Tail coun-
ty. Deputy Nugenr went on to the
next station Henning, and there
learned that I've had left the
train at Elmora. Mr.. Nugent
went back to Elmora, picked up
the trail, and accompanied by an
officer and guides followed Tye
some fourteen miles into a tama-
rack swamp where he had taken
refuge in a camp. Here Deputy
Nugent made the capture easily.
He took the young man back to
Glenwood with him, where he now
lies in jail under $500 bonds to
await the action of the grand
jury.
The Sank Centre Band is MAX
ing commendable progress. In
order to assist in defraying the
expenses of the organization, the
boys will give a ball at the City
Hall on Monday evening, Dec. %.
Everybody invited.
Archie w. Thompson, Of Waid,
N. d., and Miss Jennie Cumming,
of Sank Centre were united in
marriage at the residence on Pine
, street on Friday evening, Rev. J.
