The Juries Have Been Drawn to Serve at the Coming Session of the District Court. The Jurors Drawn. MASONIC BALL. There Was a "Hot Time in the Old Town" Tuesday Night. Milaca has a creamery, likewise a very acute tangle. The creamery is a new one, having run only two months of the past year, but there appears to be a friction among the stockholders. A month or more ago Ida Townsend suedthe company for.a bill claimed to be due. The summons was served on President Bryson, who failed to notify his co-defendants, and no answer was put in, allowing the plaintiff to. enter, judgment. The first the stockholders knew of the affair'was...when Sheriffl.hangs the Jiopes of the Indians, is Claggett weiit.to Milaca tqr then there was a lively skirmish. Proceedings were immediately be gun tp set the judgment aside and an order,to show cause was secured Tues day by the defendants who claim con spiracy between Plaintiff Townsend and Defendant Bryson. However this may be the courts will decide and the matte? will be more public than in the first instance. Charles Keith appears for the plaintiff and Giddings & Pratt for the defendants. "Tfee jurors who will serve at the coming, spring term of the district court were drawn yesterday and are as follows: GRAND JURY. Wm, McCuaig, B. M, VahAlstein, Wm. Klingbeil, E. A.,Ross, Jfas.

VanCourt, South Harbor: Samuel Mattson, Isle Harbor. The second annual ball of Fraternal Lodge No. 92, A. F. & A. M. was held at Jesmer's opera house last Tuesday night and the shade of Washington looked down on a happy throng. There were about 50 couples in attend ance, and while this attendance was not enough to enrich the Masonic cof fers to any great extent, it gave those who attended plenty of room and thereby added to their enjoyment. It was 9:15 when Gallichio's orches tra saluted the assembly with the first strains of the march, which was led by L. H. Bruns, of Anoka, and Mrs. F. L. Small, and was pronounced by those participating "the best ever," At the conclusion of the march _the floor managers took control and kept the dancers busy until morning. Supper was served at Masonic hall by the Eastern Star and a very tempt ing repast was spread before the hun gry throng. The tables were arranged in the commodious south hall and all the guests were seated at once, a fea ture which greatly enhanced the pleasure of the evening. Messrs. Gallichio, B'itzgerald, Wil berg and Anderson furnished the music and all were well satisfied. This orchestra has become popular with Princeton people arid each mem ber does his best to merit this good will. INDIANS PLEAD. They Say They Do Not Like to Leave the Land of Their Birth Washington, Feb. 17.Land Com missioner Hermann said to-day that he had not taken up the consideration of the Mille Lacs Indian bill, now pend ing before him. Attorney Beaulieu, who appeared for the Indians, has re quested an extension for the time for filing a brief in support of the Indians' side of the question, and has been given until Monday to do so. The commissioner said that the reasons assigned for opposition to the measure were largely sentimental. The Indians allege that it will be hard for them to leave the land of their fore tethers, land where their relatives lived and are buried, and where the survivors of the band have been raised. The practical opposition to allowing whites to. obtain patents for lands is based on the Indians' understanding of the treaty between them and the Uni ted States. It is alleged that treaty allows them to take allotments on the reservation or remove and take up al lotments on the Wbite Earth reserva tion as they elect. They choose ibe former and are insisting on what taey believe to be their rights. Corami-.- sioner Hermann savs thai the=,e are the principal arguments advanced by Beaulieu and he does not intend to be charged with not giving the Indians fair show and has allowed him time to file a written brief. The commissioner will take up the matter for considera after the brief is filed. Minneapolis Times. Later advices from Washington stale that the brief of Beaulieu, on wh ich made p. largely of sentitne ntal a rgu ments. with very little solid reasoning. The commissioner will probably make the announcement of his decision to day atid it is: thought "that he will ap prove the bill allowing patents to set tlers. As the passage of this bill will mean practically that all the reserva tion will be absorbed by white men, the next step will be an order from the secretary ordering the removal of the Indians to White Earth reservation. The Chippewa commissioner, it is un derstood, has been pressing upon the secretary the necessity for this order and has succeeded in convincing him and the commissioner that this is the only practical solution of the Mille Lacs difficulty. School Notes. The W. C. T. donated a number of handsomely bound books to the High school library last week. The "High School Howler" calls the attention of the board of education to the vacant spot reserved for the silver. cup promised to the winner of field day contests. As a result of the mid-year examin ations, Luella Brown, Fred Keith, Henry Marshall, Ailie Jones, Charley Whitney and Ernest Robideau have passed from the preparatory depart ment to the High school. -'&- The senior class of the Princeton High school held a meeting last week at which time Ed. Freer was chosen valedictorian George Orr, salutator ian, and Maud Whitney, historian and prophetess. There are but fourteen weeks remaining before commence ment. A class in mechanical drawing has been organized and is attracting con siderable attention and interest. The members of the class are Frank Gould ing, Will Soule, Roy Jesmer, Clem Howard and Roy Soule. The boys are deeply interested and. are all doing ex cellent work. The Walker Co. The failure of Walker Bros., the Spencer Brook merchants, last fall has been followed by the formation of an incorporated company to continue the business. The members of the new company are Isaac F.Walker, David S. Walker, George C. Smith, Jay A. Smith and W. A. Smith, of Spencer Brook, and Margaret A. Ghostley and Ella J. Watson, of Champlin. The new company will be know as the I. F. Walker Co. and by the articles are allowed to deal in dry goods, mer chandise, farm implements, live stock, grain, etc. The capital stock is fixed at $7,000 and divided into shares of $5.00 each. All the members of the firm are well known and their many friends will wish them a full measure of success. W ho Are They? A man, woman and two little chil dren arrived here in a covered wagon from Milaca last week, and shortly after their arrival the' man was ar rested and taken back to Milaca on a charge of stealing three tons of hay. The woman and children were left destitute, without .food or money. She said the man was not her husband, that she and "her husband had separ ated by mutual consent, and that she owned the team but had no money. Sheriff Brown furnished the outfit with some food and started her back on the way to Milaca, since which nothing has been heard of them.Elk Biver Star-News. The B. B. B. B. club entertained the K. K. K. K. club at Pythian hall last Friday evening. Dancing, etc., fur nished the amusement and light re freshments were served. Beautiful roses were furnished each of the lady guests. The party was one of the most enjoyable ever given in Princeton. The most pleasing feature to the young ladies was the deft way in which the four B's served tbe-refreshments. 7 ^'^^^^^W^^^^ -**i& ^[MNESOTA ISTOEfCAL VOLUME XXII. NO. 10.

In pallid ranks, Spain's victims wait The tardy blow to fall Which pays the debt of crime and hate And justice metes to all. St. Paul, Feb. 22. G. A. A man who visited Princeton for the first time said to the UNION Monday: "I am surprised at the amount of busi ness done in your village. I have seen a steady stream of farmers pouring into town with wood, ties, hay, cattle and produce, which is evidence of a good market. Your business men alsa seem to be hustlers, too, and the stores are far better than can be found in many of the larger cities of the State. Princeton is all right." It appears from recent advertise ments that the information regarding lands on the Mille Lacs reservation, which was wanted so badly by the par ties making the fight for the settlers, is now in the possession of some St. Cloud people. They are attempting to work off inferior plats.of the reser vation lands at $2 per plat. Glaring errors occur and render the map of little use. Arthur Smith, aged 15 years, died at bis father's residence at Mille Lacs lake on Monday from internal hemor rhage. *The young man was engaged in helping unload bran and shortly after went into the house and com plained of illness and died in a short time. It is thought that he ruptured a blood vessel while lifting.Brainerd Dispatch. J. J. Hill has promised St. Cloud a new depot. It will be twice as large as the present one, is to be built of St. Cloud granite and the work will be completed next summer. Why wouldn't it be well for Princeton to send a committee to see Mr. Hill? We have plenty of brick but very little de pot. The little town of Glendorado is tak ing on quite a boom. The recently es tablished creamery has proved to be a success and now Messrs. Kittleson and Ingebretson propose to open a large general store there. A post office has been applied for and there is every reason to believe that the ap plication will be granted. Theo. Veidt, of Anoka, will experi ment with the Mille Lacs countj granite and will shortly report on it* utility for monuments, etc. Theo. knows every detail of the business and b,is report can,be relied upoa^ -T? ~%X-
