candidate, was given a majority of two
votes.,^The final decision is that-Tier
uey was elected by a-majority,of forty
six of the legal votes of the county.

A NICE PLUM.
-Efel^ty Sheriff Newton and Os King Were
*&$&&- Wedhesday afternoon the'- man-*
agement of the State reformatory at
St. Cloud wired to Sheriff Claggett
that a couple of runaway prisoners
were headed toward this county. The
sheriff was absent and the message was
delivered to Owen Newton, his deputy^
who with OsKing, started immediately
for Foreston. They put up their team
on arriving at the village and^ planned
to watch there for the prisoners.
Shortly after their arrival they discov
ered two men coming along the rail
road and decided to meet them. When
the pedestrians saw the officers they
left the track and to throw them off
their guard Newton and King turned
off in the opposite direction, but hid
themselves in the bushes and watched.
Soon the suspects reappeared and When
they approached the hiding place of
the pursuers found themselves covered
by guns and ordered to throw uj) their
hands. They made no fight and the
following day were returned, to St.
Cloud. ._-
Messrs. Newton and King will re
ceive $100 for their ride and the trouble
of making the arrests.
It is Supt. Randall's belief that the
men deserted their posts out of pure
homesickness on the part -of Feriholt.
He is much the younger man of the
two, and like Larson is a native of
\Freeborn county" and has never been
away from home before. He longed
for home and its companionships and
it is presumed urged Larson toxnit and
run with him. Larson made a^acrifice
indeed for his friend, for he had been
in the institution a matter of a year,
and was regarded as a trusty and. reli
able man and his parole and final dis
charge were events not so far in the
distance. He had several times been
in St. Cloud with a reformatory team
wholly unaccompanied by a ^uard or
other person and it is believed he
yielded to the "con" talk of his fellow
townsman in a moment of weakness.
The^fact that the man Sullivan had
successfully evaded capture is also be
lieved to have influenced the men in
asking the break. An evidence of
^Efeir forethought as to their future
course of action in effecting an escape
was found in the fac that -they took
the trace chains and tugs off the team's
harness, it is presumed for the pur
pose of tying themselves to the tops of
passenger trains in' stealing rides,
across the country.

Tuesday was the day of the annual
town meetings and in most towns the
vote was light owing to the heavy
sto,rm which set in in the afternoon.
In Princeton township the candidates
got together MondayKor- rather most
of themJ and agreed to print a ticket
which .would contain the names of all
the aspirants for office. Tuesday there
were some who did not fall in readily
with this idea and a second ticket was
printed. At the business meeting it
was decided to levy a town revenue
fund pf 8700 and a road and bridge fund
of $1,300. The following road over

6th district: Frank Kronquist, 7th dis
trict Joseph Wolf. 8th districtr John
Zatterstrom, 9th district George
Schmidt, 10th district. The following
poundmasters were also elfected: Stock
ton Reetn, H. L. Mathis, Floyd Hatcher,
August Schmidt and R. H. Steeves.

The wheel of fortune proved a se
ductive game for Charles W. Kent, a
lawyer from Milaca, but the results
were so disastrous that he fell con
strained to tell the police about it.
'The visitor from up country says he
was enticed into a small show in lower
Nicollet avenue Monday, where he
found a game of chance in full blast.
He says he saw others winning and so
he tried his luck. The first few whirls*
of the wheel doubled his money, but he
soon began to lose and when the game"
stopped he was out $55. He registered
complaint at police headquarters.
The officers state that there have
been other complaints regarding the
place, aTnd official action may be taken.

A Genuine Freak.
Our exchange tells us--of' an editor in
the lower part of the State who almost
dropped" dead in his tracks the other
day when one of his successful county
candidates expressed his appreciation
of his paper's support during the cam
paign. This is^certainly a rare occur
rence arid the editor would be excusa
ble for his action if he should publish
the candidate's portrait, so that the
newspaper men might see for once in
their life time the picture of an angel.
It ought 0 be printed at once, for
there is so much ingratitude in poli
tics that the same fellow will very
likely, before another year rolls by, be
doing everything he can to run the
aforesaid editor and his paper out
of the country by starving to death or
by trying"to belittle or-cripple the ed
itor. There are some men who feel
and show some gratefulness to the
party paper after the campaign is
over, but the number of such/men is
not sufficiently large to crowd others
out of the procession. Hitibing News.,
Sunday-one of the most severe bliz
ards of the winter- swept across the
country South of us, the northern edge
of the storm touching along the south
ern boundary of the State. Telegraph
and telephone lines were completely
wrecked.and railroads were blockaded.
While the storm was^ raging- we were
enjoying the balmiest kind of weather*
Editor Cravens seems to forget that
-Milaca was represented on the grand
jury which condemned the county jaiL
The IJNION will state,, for the benefit
of tihe^ purblind editor, that -there are
