S00 STATION AT PIEI
Will be Located South of
the Village, on Stumpf
Land
A delegation of Pierz business men,
acompanied by Cbas. Gravel, Sr.,
went to Minneapolis Monday to see the
Soo line official* in regard to some
desired changes in the mute of the
line.
Tbe gentlemen were cordially re­
ceived. bat were informed that the
lice could not be changed to run
through the village, as rhe grade
would be too heavy and it would
prevent running as large frieght
trains as desired. As now arranged
the line will ran siath of the village,
and the station will be on tbe John
Stu-rpf place. Mr. Stumpf, it is un­
derstood, will cot sell to the company
unless they agree not to build a new
town there, and the company, we are
informed, will so agree. The delega­
tion were assured tbat the company
ill Eot hamper Pierz in any way,
bnt desires it to grow. The company
will probably buy some land west of
the Sour miil, adjacent to the village,
for platting purpose?, ar.d !hus tafee
advantage of tte hoped for growth.
Besides th^ station, there will 'be
only an ^levator and coal shed on th::
Stumpf land.
Whilv tie citizens would prefe? to
have the roncl omctly cress the vil­
lage, they wiH practically hive all

will not be tar fcr hauling pui,oos:-s.

Famous "Window Smash
Finds Rest Denied
Her in This World
Mrs. Maria Rix, well known to the
police of the Northwest, is dead. She
was an nnfortnnata woman who was
demented, and whose insanity took
the form of hurling missiles at win­
dows. She was never dangerous, al­
though it times quite violent. She
bad be?n in asylums in many states.
Her story is a sad and pathetic one,
and the cause of her trouble not gen­
erally known even in places like Little
Falls, where she has frequently Jbesn
seen.
Early in life Maria Sweeney was a
kind, lovable girl, teaching school in
tbe southern pait of tbe state, says
th3 St. Cloud Journal Press. She was
disappointed in love, and was affected
so strongly as to nearly lose ner mind.
A res rt to morphine completed tbe
work, and she became possessed of the
window smashing dementia, which
clncg to her all the rest of her days.
Sbo never grew violent in any other
direction, and was in fact qpi'te pane
with triis exception. She loved the
cliuk of falling glass, as she often
told the police when arrested, and the
bigger the window was tbe better she
liked it. She was committed to asy­
lums in Minnesota and Wisconsin sev­
eral times, but was always released,
as a faw days of confinement always
rendered her perfectly sane. Daring
the last few years of ber life the police
were on the watch for her, and were
always ready to furnisa her with
enough money to pay her fare to the
next town.

FOURNIER CONFESSES BUYS FERGUS BREWERY
"Virgins, April 17.— Although both
Fournier and Wesley, tbe men con­
victed at Bemidji of murdering the
Dahls, stoutly maintained their inno­
cence throughout the trial, even to
their attorneys, after Fournier was
convicted he made a confession to nis
council of his part in the affair.
Says Wesley Killed thefTheodore Hubner of this
Dahls, and He Arrived I City Coes into the Beer
Judge John M. Martin cf thn city,
who was associate counsel in the de­
fense of both men, arrived home
Monday. He says, that after Four­
nier was convicted, he informed Lis
conns fl ihst Wtsley was the man who
did the shooting ~of the Dahls ana
that he (Fournier) did not arrive on
tbe scene until after the crime was
committed, and that he bid bis
knowledge of the crime fnr fear Wes­
ley might kill him.
Oa tbe strength cf this confession,
Judge Msrtin says a new trial fcr
Jeournier will be asked for. Mr.
Martin wrote a letter to Ju!ge Spoon
r, requesting bicu to have Fournier
repeat tee stoiy to him before decid­
ing on the matter of a new trial
Judge Martin is satisfied that if
Ft-UiOi?r had tola this story from the
start he might have escaped with
two years' imprisonment, a* an acces­
sory after the f^ct, ins'ead of ireing
convicted cf murder in the first de
gree.
Bemidji, April 13.—Paul Fournier

accordiag to the verdict rendered by

twenty seven minutes, then they re­
turned a verdict of guilty.
In tbe Fournier case the jury went

BASE BALL LEAGUE
To be Composed of Strictly
Amateur Players
Proposed.
st. Cload Joural. Press: Tfcere is
talk of organizing a base ball league,
to play ocly on Sundays, among the
towns of Northern Minnesota, ex lnd
ing"Minneapoiis and St. Paul. The
original scheme was to start in with
the twin cities and take in a lot of
other towns. Some of tbe towns
have goue in with tne cities, such
as Stillwater, Mankato and Winona,
but St Gloud, Brainerd, Little Falls
and others could not see anything in
the scheme for them as it would te
impossible for Minneapolis and St.
Paul to furnish all the ontside teams
with return games.
There is a sfcheme on foot now to
organize a smsll league to play ball
once a week between St. Cloud,
Brainerd, Little Falls, Royalton,
Mont-cello and other towns in North­
ern Minnesota. Tbe matter will be
taken up and the entbuBiasts in the
different cities will get together on
the proposition.
The teams will be pafd no salaries,
but must be strielly amateur.
Frank A. Lindbregh will open a
law office in tbe new Kiewel building
on the corner of Broadway and Kidder
street.
Congressman C. A. Lindbergh bas
taken offices on the second floor of the
new Kiewel block, corner Broadway
acd Kidder street.
Frank John has finally decided to
remain in Little Falls He has ac­
cepted a position as clerk in the Ebert
Bros.' store and will take up bis du­
ties ther6 Saturday.
The glandered horses killed at the
Nichols-Cbuholm camp around Fra
zee are valued at about $15,000, which
is an average of nearly $150 for eaoh
horse. It is thought that the horses
became infected from a new lot of
horses which were taken into camp
early last fall, and that the disease
spread among the stock in the winter,
as the new horses journeyed back and
forth from the camps. Of 250 horses
used in the work in the camps around
Frazee, 102 became glandered and bad
to be shot, and although no more cf
the horses seem to have the glanders,
it is feared that a few others may
have been infected with tbe dreaded
disease. This company has been a
heavy loser from the effects of the
ravages of this disease, as it will be
remembered that a few years ago
quite a number of their horses had to
be shot on account of it. It is to be
regretted that the disease was not de­
tected earlier in the season the mat­
ter coald then have been tended to
with a great deal less loss.
John Billsteiu is putting in a set of
scales in front of his place of business
on South Kidder street.

A deal was closed last Friday at
Fergus Falls whereby Theodore flub
ner, of this city, became the owner of

ner on the west side which is in­
cluded in the deal, which was figured

Mr. Hubner took charge of the in­
stitution immediately.
The capacity of the brewery is some
less than 4000 barrels per year. While
Mr. Hubner, or his son, Joseph, are
not familiar with 'the making of the
product they are cofident that they
will make a success of the venture.
Tbe deal was made through John
Vertin.
Mr. Hubner cr,me bc-re about two
years ago from Dakota, where he still

very joyous mood when tbey started
for home, and suspecting that tbey

went to his own home on an adj in
ing farm. Later in the evening^ he
beard a lot of noise caused by some
boisterous persons, and on going oat
he knew them to be the same he had
followed earlier in the evening. He
thereupon fired several revolver shots
in the air to scare them away, and
this failing he picked op a club and
started down the road to see if he
couldn't get them to move on He
said he had no sooner zeacbed the
'ene of the disturbance when they
attaoked him, he defending himself
'with the club, during which combat
George struck him a heavy biow in
the face, cutting his lip and knocking
a few of his teeth out.
The Super brother's testimony was
to the effect that Perc^ritz used a re­

N. D.. under date of April 13: "The
train I boarded at St. Cloud carried
660 persons, nearly all bound for Can­
ada to seek claims. After leaving
Larimore we got stuck in a snow drift
for 18 hours. Thirty-five men with
shovels finally got the track clear for
us and we proceeded to Wales, where
I stopped off. There is about 18
inches of snow here on the level yet.
As farmers are offering $35 a month I
have decided to stay here a few
months, then continue my trip. Sev­
eral parties from Canada report a few
inches of snow there yet.
