Sudden Summons and His Untime- Death a Shock to His Folks and Many Friends. The many friends of Pinley McCuaig coald hardly believe the sad news that reached town early yesterday morning that he had dropped dead at the home his parents, Mr. and Mrs Donald MeCuaig, in Greenbush, at a little nine o'clock Tuesday night. Finley was apparently ail right, at least to all outward appearances,. "Y thfct he did not appear in his usual iifjfely mood and seemed to be brooding oihv something Efforts were made kjfboth. his father and mother and his siraer to live hi"m up.. H went in the N deal of the deahTiameT^Fkrlanl Vernal eq^To deal ofth deatT of Jame McFarlan and tbe Stewart boy, who died of typhoid fever in the west, and it was noticed that h* would have spells of melancholly, but his folks thought this was on account of his severe illness His brother Will in Biinidji and Robert in Tenstrike, were notified, and will be home in time to attend the funeral, which" will be held at theder, home in Greenbush, Friday forenoon, at 10.30 o'clock. Rev. Moxie will offiic iate and the intermentowill be in the Princeton cemetery. Finley McCuaig was twenty-nine years of age at the time of his death. MURDERED IN NEW YORK. Mrs. Mlnuie Clark, a St. Clond Girl, Mur dered in a New York Resort. A dispatch from St. Cloud says* "Mrs. Minnie Clark, said to have been murdered in a notorious resort in New York eity, is well known in this sec tion, heaving lived here for years and attended schools in this vicinity in her younger days. She was a daughtei of E. F. Hall, an ex-representative in the legislature from Benton county, and grand daughter of Rev. M'r. Hall, who was for many years an Indian mission ary in northern Minnesota. "The dead woman has a daughter. May by name, now living with Mrs. Hall in Minden, Benton county. This daughter was rescued from a life of vice by the Gerry society of New York some time ago and sent back to Minne sota. She is known as May Dolan, and her father is a Great Northern railway man living in Minneapolis. "Mrs. Clark was at one time a favor ite of Louis Heilpurn, who served a term in the peitentiary for extensive peculations committed in Minneapolis. She has been discarded by her people for years. They are well-to-do and have always been highly respected in Benton and Stearns counties. The woman had lived a fast life for several years." Wants Jim Hill to Fay for Hay. Justice Chadbourne's court room was the scene last Tuesday afternoon of a civil suit brought by Wm. Hatcher against the Great Northern Railway Co. Plaintiff lives on section 32 in the town of Bogus Brook and claims that he lost by a fire started by the section crew of the railroad hay to the value of $86. Mr. Hatcher claims that the devouring flames licked up the hay on Oct 25th on which day he was in Prince ton. The day before Otto Lindberg, section foreman of the railroad and his ooy naC burned the grass and weeds from the right of way In the vicinity, other business here^" and"Mr. Hatcher claimed that the fire tnakdestroyed Wsiay c^me from. tho. right-of-way fire. M. L. Cormany was his attorney and Alex Hartz, John Wolf, Benj. Snow, C. C. Swam, Frank Henschell, and Otto Lindberg were present as witnesses to testify in the matter. Some of the witnesses pres ent were in court to testify as to the same acts ot the section foreman at the time Chief Fire Warden Andrews had him arrested charged with having caused the fires in the surrounding country The case was heard before A Dickey who was justice at the time, and at the present trial he ap peared for the railroad company. Evidence was introduced to try and establish the fact that the fire that burned Mr. Hatcher's hay was caused by the fire set by the section foreman, but the latter who is not now in th uutwar a appearances out me lamer, wno is not now in ibfugh it was noticed by his parents employ of the railroad, but is farming 5 f TTOULXU UllO v/V.UIUUJ UUU. introduce 1111s fwjnt room with them for a short time, evidence, but the motion was over ana afterwards went out into th sit- ruled, and the ease proceeded .TBH afterwards went out into the sit ting room and threw himself on the flo&r by the stove. His mother kept inquiring if there was anything that b| could do to help him, and he re plied she could do nothing for him. H# went tb the door and stepped out side a minute and then returned into the room, stretching himself a little, and went to a chair ana sat down. He haft not been seated but a few minutes wBen he dropped over onto the floor, cuJting his mouth some as he fell. A messenger was sent for a doctor at once but the young man had been dead some time when the doctor arrived, tbf cause of the death having been heart failure. Last fall he returned from the west where he had been some time, and was ail|ng with typhoid fever. He was taljfen to the Northwestern hospital for treatment, remaining in the hospital abbut six weeks. He seemed to have fully recovered and has been around home and here in Princeton with his brother, DunCan McCuaig. Finley went west at the time the McFarland party did, but he did not accompany them to Washington, going to Helena and ^afterwardf going to Devil's lake. g* at Tosca, claimed that every fire he set on Oct. 24th along the right-of-way was^put out by himself and boy. Mr. Dickey moved to dismiss the case af ter Mr Cormany had hi ruled and the case Justic Chadbourne will give his decision later. The Weather for February. Hicks, the weather prophet, makes the following predictions for weather during the present month. From about the 6th to the 10th falls a regular and decided storm period, n the eighth near the center of this period, the moon is in conjunction with sun and earth, or at its "New," while less than two days after, it is on the celestial equator. From about the 7th to the 10th may be expected an un seasonable rise of temperature, the barometer will fail to low and threat ening indications, and storms of marked energy will organize in western extremes and take up their march eastward across the country. During a period of three days, including the 8th and 10th, no one need be surprised to see a warm wave for the season, attended by lightning and thunder, with heavy rams to the southward, turning to snow and blizzard along the north side of the country. The regular storm period reaching from the 16th to the 20th will show *ycvii,Ke. Wrongly the influence of the Venus dis- ^ia X.r Verna equinox Hig temperaturesJ low barometer and rain, thunder and lightning will be the order during the first stages of the disturbances, but these will quickly give place to driving snow to the west and north with change to high barometer, northwest gales and very much colder Snow and blizzards will follow quickly on the heels of rain and thun and a very cold wave for the sea son will push close after the western sides of storms. Telephone Line to Mille Lacs Lake. An effort is going to be made by the business men and farmers between Vineland and Brainerd to have a tele phone line constructed between those two places, and a meeting will be held on the seventh of this month at the Borden lake school house to discuss the matter. The matter to be discussed will be whether a line will be built by a new company to be incorporated or whether some outside corporation will be induced to build the line. A dele gate from each township in the terri tory between Brainerd and the Mille Lacs lake will be sent to a meeting to be held at the Windsor hotel at Brain erd on the 11th of this month to fur ther consider the matter. The people around the lake are getting tired of being isolated from the world and think that without railroads and tele phones they are rather behind the times. There has been some talk of having a line built from Milaca to the lake, and it is understood that the Rural Telephone Co. will built a line provid ing a sufficient bonus is raised. I would seem that if a telephone line could be constructed to the lake that in a short it would prove a good paying proposition in that neighborhood, as the lake country will settle up at a rapid rate right along. Houlton & Co. Sell Saw Mill. The Elk River Star-News says: "W. H. Houlton & Co. have bargained for the sale of the saw mill, planing mill and lumber yard to B. N. Thompson of Minneapolis, and an inventory is now being taken preparatory to turning over the property to the new owners. Mr. Houlton says that he has sold the lumber and thrown in the saw mill and planing mill, and no figures of theYotten amount involved in the transaction is given out. "This transaction will wind up Mr. Houlton's interests with the lumber business of Elk River, with which he has been identified for the past forty 9 awicuuv IUUIC yu nui i 8 fro.m tha. viohtnt wivin t&%A viMnit.it. 1 nt.h*r VtiinTnMa ho" grain and farm produce in Princeton VOLUME XXVI. NO. 8. A ROW 1 DISTRICT 2. The School Board in District No. 2 Orders all School Children To Be Vaccinated. There is Some Opposition to the Order and Chas. Slater Refuses to Recognize the Same. Smallpox has been the occasion for a lively war out in school district No. 2. It seems that recently smallpox broke out in the house of Geo. Henry, only half a mile from the school, and the school board decided that they would eompel all children attending the school to be vaccinated or remain at Th edic the board seems in most cases. One family who did not wish to have their children vaccinated quietly took them out of school, but Town Clerk Chas. Slater did not take kindly to the new ruling and decided to stand for a fight. He has'had several children at tending the schoolfour or five rang ing in age from eight to sixteen years and he did not propose to have them vaccinated, and also proposed to have them attend the school. Notwith standing the order of the board he sent his children to school only to be sent home by the teacher. The irate father did not intend to be bulldozed or im posed upon and so went with the chil dren to school and told them to stay there. Of course the teacher refused to admit them to classes or to get their lessons and the children would remain in school a short time and then go home. The board which is composed of Messrs. McVicker, Orton and Lamb, have decided to make a test case of it, and wrote the State board of health for information. Dr. Bracken of the State board, replied and sent the school board a copy of the attorney general's opinion to the effect that where small pox was epidemic compulsory vaccina tion could be enforced on children at tending school. It is presumed that there is an epidemic of smallpox out in Greenbush and the board intends to fight Mr. Slater to a finish. They say that the town clerk by persisting in sendin. theenhome. om Thee edictt off ha been obeved his children to school is dis- nMiAMWt HigY SwVte u^^^H^ in 1 he rerog^^^ nizes tht solem^ mandate^ of the law vigorous measures will be adopted to compel him to obey the law and orders of the school hoard. In order to make the order of the school board good the State board must declare an epidemic of smallpox in Greenbush, and then if there really is an epidemic of this character the town board as health officers have a big job on their hands, for an epidemic means rigid quarantine, etc As a matter of fact it is very doubtful if many of the cases of smallpox in Greenbush were ever reported to the State board of health. The question will be what is an epidemic? And so matters stand out in the peaceful precincts of district No. 2. In the meantime the smallpox microbe journeys around from house to house, and the best thing for parents to do is to have their children vaccin ated, and if parents have never been vaccinated they had better get a hump on themselves and cultivate a scab. INJUNCTION ISSUED. Action Commenced to Restrain Payment of Milaca Tillage Order. An action has been commenced in district court to have Order No. 1314 issued by the village of Milaca de clared null and void, and to prevent the payment of same. The suit is in stituted by Mrs. Ida Townsend, plaint iff, vs. The Village of Milaca, et al., and the St. Anthony Falls Bank, of Minneapolis, which' holds the order. The order was issued for $1,000 for "street work," but the plaintiff alleges that it was illegally issued as a bonus for a private enterprise,Erickson & Co.'8 flour mill. Judge L. L. Baxter has issued a writ of injunction dated Jan. 27th, restrain ing the village authorities from paying the order pending the determination of the suit. Charles Keith, the well known Princeton attorney, is counsel for the plaintiff.Milaca Times.
