Arnold's Adventure in South.

ite company has Just returned from Atlanta, Ga
here he had ft novel adventure. Mr. Arnold
is looking for granite cutters for his company,
ivhlch is engaged in getting out the cut granite
for the new state university building and also
has other large contracts.
At Atlanta he picked up twenty men, only to
learn after he had bought their tickets that
there was a law agalnBt taking laborers from
that state. This was enacted years ago, and
was for the purpose of preventing plantation
owners from going into a neighboring state and
hiring all the negroes about cotting-picking time.
Some of the granite producers in Atlanta did
not want to see the cutters leave, and they set
the officers in pursuit of Mr. Arnold. He
finally escaped Incognito with his men to a
neighboring state and has safely brought them
to St. Cloud.

"SOONER" LOSES LAND
Larson's Settlement, Altho First, Is
Found Unlawful by Officials.
CASS LAKH, MINN.The register and re
ceiver of the local United States land office have
made an important decision in the contest
case of Peter M. Larson vs. Charles J. Hansey,
which is a prior settlement contest, the lands
in question being a pare of the ceded Chippewa
reservation. __
The contest was started to establish the prior
rights of actual settlement and entry. The de
cision made by the local land officials states
that Larson, the cohtestee. went upon the land
for settlement five seconds orlor to the time
set tor nllns and that the defendant. Hansey,
made his entry at one minute past 9 o'clock on
the dnv of entry. The secretary of the interior,
in issuing orders to govern the opening of the
land, declared that any one going on the lands
for the purposes of establishing settlement prior
to the hour set for the filing at the land office
would be considered and dealt with as tres
passers, and preference would be given the
prior legal, applicant, notwithstanding the un
lawful settlement.
In the decision, the register and receiver say:
"The premature entrance of "the alleged settler
upon the land can avail nothing. In view of
the fact that Hansey's entry was made not
later than one minute after 9 a.m.. and especi
ally in view of the fact that if Larson, as
directed by said order, had remained outside of
the boundaries of the lands which were opened
on said day. it would have been a physical Im
possibility for him to have posted his notice
and commenced the digging or his well at the
point selected by him prior to the time of the
completion of Hansev's entry. Preference should
tie Slven. Hansey as the prior legal application,
as is provided in the portion of tne order
Thla decision is far reaching and will have
the effect of establishing a precedent for several
other contests that were started on other entries
made at that time.

3 DEATHS TRACED
TO STANDARD OIL
KEROSENE AND GASOLENE WERE
MIXED AND SOLD.
Company Settles the Glyndon Damage
Cases by Paying in the Neighborhood
of $13,000Sequel to Tragedy in
Which Grandmother, Mother and Son
Lost Their Lives.
Speolai to The Journal.
Moorbead, Minn., May 10.The Standard Oil
company late yesterday afternoon settled the
Gljndon damage case and thus forestalled any
action against It or against 0. G. Tracy & Co.
of Glyndon.
This Is the outcome of the recent explosion
of oil at that place whereby Mrs. Olaus Ander
son, her, infant son and Mrs, Peter Anderson,
her mother, came to a horrible death. Mrs
Anderson, thinking to freshen the file in the
kitchen stove, poured on what was supposed to
be kerosene. The oil took fire and exploded the
can. The flames spread all over Mrs. Anderson
and her mother, and the latter. In an effort
to rescue the baby, picked it up and ran out.
All three were horribly burned and died Ina
few hours.
Orders Were Mixed.
The coroner's Jury at the inquest held the
Standard Oil company and 0. G. Tracy & Co.
of Glyndon responsible, charging neglect In an
endeavor to rectify a mistake. It is alleged
orders were mixed by the Standard Oil company
in filling two tanks of o}l, one with kerosene
and the other with gasolene. The mistake con
sisted of the gasolene tank being filled with
kerosene and the kerosene tank with gasolene.
Later the mistake was discovered and the oil
ordered pumped out of the tanks. It Is alleged
that the gasolene tank was only half emptied
and ttiat It was then Oiled wita Kerosene. This
mixture was sold to Tracy & Co. by the Stan
dard Oil company, and thla 1B what the Ander
son's purchased, and which caused the ex
plosion.
What It Cost the Standard.
The amount which the Standard Oil company
would be liable under the Minnesota law, If
proven guilty of carelessness*, would be $13,000.
The sum which has been finally settled upon so
nearly approximates the above sum that It would
not pay the Andersons to bring suit, and con
sequently the settlement was made yesterday
afternoon.
N. Stadum of Glyndon has been appointed
administrator of the estates of the Andersons.
Orrin Oliver represented Charles 8. Marden, the
attorney for the Andersons. The settlement
was made with them.
Hardware Merchant Assigns.
Arthur R. Charest, a hardware merchant of
this city, has made an'assignment for the benefit
of his creditors to the Moorhead National bank.
Mr. Charest declares that every creditor will
be paid in full. It is said that poor collec
tions, coupled with an ambition to transact a
large Business wltnout sufficient capital, are re
sponsible for the assignment.
The Memorial day services of Clay county,
represented by L. H. Tenney post, G. A. R.,
will be. held this year in Moorhead. Peter
Czizek of thla city has the arrangements in
charge. The city council and the various organ

EAGLE ATTACKS CHILD
Mother Finally Kills Ravenous Bird
After It Assails Cow, Child and Dog.
NASHWAUK, MINN.A hungry young eagle
frantloally attacked a cow, two children and a
dog, and waB only defeated after a desperate
battle with the mother of the children.
Mrs. Thomas Goodhue and her two small
children went into a meadow to look for the
cows. As they approached the woman discov
ered that one of the cows was engaged in a
battle with an eagle. The bird would alight
on the animal's back and, inserting its talons,
would claw the poor creature unmercifully,
tearing bits of hide and flesh from its back.
Mrs Goodhue attacked the bird, which then
left the cow and attempted to seiae one ot the
small children. With a club Mrs. Goodhue again
drove the enraged bird away. Then It espied
the family dog and pounced upon it. Mrs.
Goodhue again brought her club into requisi
tion and, after a desperate struggle In which
he was severely clawed by the eagle, she beat

Special to T*ie Journal.
Albert Lea, Minn May 15 There was some
thing of a sensation in the Bohemian settle*
men, ten miles southeast of this city, as the
lifeless body of Erank Krai was found just
inside the right of way of the Illinois Central
railroad. A basket of eggs was tightly clasped
In nib dead bands
The sensation Is caused by the mystery sur
rounding the affair. Aral's hope Is but half a
mile from the place where his body was found.
His wife says he was at home a,t 8 a.m., and
the body was found &t the same day.
There were no evidences of any struggle, and
no marks of violence* to disclose the manner of
death. Some of the relatives demand an in
vestigation, and allege foul play, but the indi
cations seem to point to heart disease, except
for the time of finding the remains.
Krai was 66 and had had trouble with some
of the neighbors, and this fact doubtless gives
rise to the rumors of foul play.
District court is StlH, in session here, but the
last Jury case, an appeal from the award of
benefits In a ditch case, is now on trial.
In the divorce case of James B. Sharp vs.
Anna S. Sharp, the Jury was out but twenty
minutes and returned with a verdict for the
defendant on all counts. Edwin Haraldaon
pleaded guilty, to an Indictment charging abuse
of a female child under/l6 years, and was
given a reformatory sentence at St. Cloud.

In this city because of a law providing
that the propertyowners must petition for the

Owing to the fact-that-many of the heavy
propertyowners in the business district are non
residents, they have been almost without excep
tion opposed to public improvements. To rem
edy this the charter was amended so that when
ever seven of the members of the council and

will be valid without the consent of the prop

To test this validity J. Pierce Wolfe brought

Last December Indian Policeman Hnnts-Along
attempted to break up a dance in which Drags

There was a row and Hunts-Along killed one of
the party. The policeman was then beaten into
unconsciousness by some of the other Indians
and left for dead. After laying on the ground
thru one of the coldest nights of the winter,
he regained consciousness, and recovered.
Despite the fact that the affair occurred five
months ago, the evidence in the matter had not
been ot such a nature as to warrant arrests

WOMAN IN JAIL
MAY BE POISONER
BODY OF AUGUST ACKERMAN EX-
HUMED.
State Chemist Has the Viscera Under
ExaminationAckerman Is Said to
Have Shown Symptoms of Aconite
Poisoning When He Was Dying.
Wadena, Minn., May 15.The county authori
ties are working diligently to secure further evi
dence against Mrs 1 red Klasgey, who is under
arrest at Long Prairie on a charge of murder*
ing h?r former husband, August Aekermun,
Ackerman died about a year ago and the cor
oner's jury returned a verdict of death from
heart failure. Neighbors, however, became sus
picious and the stories they told caused the
county authorities to begin an investigation,
the theory being that the man met his death
from aconite poisoning, The body has been I
exhumed and the viscera sent to the state chem
ist for examination.
Ackerman is said to have shown symptoms of
aconite poisoning, and a bottle which had con
tained aconite is said to have been found in
his wife's trunk. It is stated also that the
woman at first denied any knowledge of the
fact that aconite was on the premises, but
later admitted that her husband had kept some
of the poison to^glve as medicine to bis horses.
Under close questioning she is said to have
admitted that he also had been in the habit
of taking the medicine for heart disease.
The authorities say they have evidence that
she purchased some of the drug at a store in
Bertha.
Six months after Ackerman's death the woman
went to live with Klasgey, asserting that they
were married. Since her arrest, however, she
admitted that they were not married, and asked
her attorney if there was any objection to
having the ceremony performed at once
informed her that there would not be, and the
marriage took place in the Jail last weeK.
Ackerman is said to have been jealous of her,
and it is said that on one occasion he accused
her of poisoning his coffee.

ALLY OF DEITZ
GOES TO PRISON
WEISENBA0H IS SENTENCED FOB
TWELVE YEARS.
Deitz Can See His Finish if Caught
The Judge, in Pronouncing Sentence,
Declared the Two Men Guilty of
Treason Against the State of Wis
consin.
Hayward, Wis., May 15.Valentine Welsen
bach, who was convicted two weeks ago of at
tempted murder, was sentenced today by Judge
A. J. Vinje to twelve years' imprisonment In the
penitentiary at Waupun.
Welsenbach was the confederate of John Deitz
and assisted him when he made his famous at
tack upon the officers who attempted to ar
rest him. The case attracted much attention
when tried, as tne evidence connected Xelt
with every criminal act of Welsenbach. The
crime was committed several miles from the
Cameron dam, which Deitz has so successfully
defended with his rifle, and showed that the
men were lying in ambush for the officers.
In sentencing Welsenbach Judge Vinje char
acterized the acts of Dcltz and of Welsenbach
as "treason against the state of Wisconsin,"
saying:
"So the offense was not only in fact and in
reality an attempt to commit murder, but it
was In effect treason against the state ot Wis
consin and against the laws of the state, and
such conduct cannot be tolerated by any state
or community. It was not merely a question
of a private brawl between two parties, but is
a question of a conflict between the state of
Wisconsin and you and your confederate in
that act."
Welsenbach has been taken to Waupun to
serve his sentence and John Deltz Is still guard
ing what Is left of the Cameron dam with his
Winchester rifle.
REFUSES TO PAY TAXES
Wisconsin Land Company Serves In
junction on Chippewa Co. Treasurer.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, WIS.The James L.
Gatoo Land company served an injunction today
on County Treasurer Howland to prevent offer
ing for sale for taxes the company's land in thrt
towns of Cleveland and Sampson.
Gates asserts that these towns arbitrarily
raised the assessment to a higher figure than
the lands about the company's, and therefore
declares It to be illegal. There are over $200
back taxes on the company's lands in these
towns, and this will mean a suit between the
Gates company and Chippewa county.
Treasurer Howland has not yet decided wheth
er be will recognize the injunction.

CURED OF ANvEMIA BY DR.
WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS,
Mls8 Hathaway says These PitlsSaved
Her Life and She Recommends
Them to Others.
Doctors have given the Greek nama 1
Aueemm, meaning DlooaiessuesBi" ut\
a disease which is much more preyaleata
among young women than is generally*
believed. An unustial feeling of fatigue
after slight exercise, breathlessness and
pallor are the first noticqaWe signs. The
disease literally causes the blood to turn
to water and, unless a proper remedy ig1*
used, is inevitably fatal.
Miss Frankie Hathaway, of 214 West
Main street, Kalamazoo, Mich., sayi 9
"When I was sixteen years old I wai
taken quite ill, so ill that the family doo
tor was called to attend me. I was pale
and weak and did not gain under his
care. Other treatment brought no bet- z-
ter result and by the time I was nineteen
years old I was so weak that I could not
walk aoross the floor. I was terribly
emaciated and my skin had lost all oolor.
The doctor said I had anaemia. i
One of my friends advised me to try
Dizzy Spells
a
Dr.Williams' Pink Pills as Bbe bad Deeu 3
cured of a somewhat similar trouble by
their use. I bought a package and soon
found that they were doing me good.
My appetite increased and the healthy
oolor began to show in my cheeks and i
lips. I continued to use the pills untilX
was permanently cured.
Since then I have never hack any re
turn of my old trouble and cannot re- I
member a time when I was so strong
and healthy as now. Dr. Williams'Pink
Pills saved my life and I believe that DA
other medicine could have done so."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anaamia
just as food cures hunger. They do pot
act on the bowels but they actually make
new blood. Most common diseases are
caused by bad blood and Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills by supplying the elements
necessary to gire new life and riohnesa
to the blood have cured even such dis
eases as locomotor ataxia, partial par-J
alysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headaches,
the after-effects of the grip, palpitation
i
of the heart, pale and sallow complexions4
and many forms of weakness in male
and female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla
are sold by all druggists or will be sent,
