STON WOMAN'S VISIT.
Clubs Have Been Trump in
Game of Hearts With Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Stob.
Mrs. Fred Stob, who was at
the Markham hotel this morning
and says that for the brief space
of a year she has been the legally
wedded wife of Fred 0. Stob,
who until a short time ago was
employed as a boilermaker in the
Great Northern round house at
Crookston, made an interesting
discovery yesterday. It was
nothing less than the portrait of
her husband adorning the parlor
of a woman who lives a short dis
tance from this city, who was in
timate with Stob, before he knew
h's wife and who Mrs. Stob does
not hesitate to say did not allow
the ties of sacred matrimony to
keep her from holding him in
much higher regard and intimacy
than is meet under the circum
stances.
Mrs. Stob is a handsome
woman of perhaps twenty-eight
years, who says she formerly re
sided at Springfield, Illinois,
where she met Stob about a year
ago and where the two were mar
ried. The couple have never got
ten on well together and if every
thing Mrs. Stob says is true she
has been a much abused woman.
A short time ago she came to
Crookston to live with her hus
band, but he taunted her with
stories of his affection for other
women and made her life so un
bearable that she finally left him.
The couple had been stopping at
the Monterey hotel in Crookston
and after they had lived apart
for a few days Stob went back
to his wife and attempted to ar
range an amicable adjustment of
of the differences existing be
tween them. He told her that if
she didn't want to live with him
he had a home in Bernidji that he
might always call his own and
that the caresses of a woman
here who is the wife of another
where always his when he so de
sired. Then there were harsh
words all around, and Stob gave
his wife a beating on the street
so severe that she fell uncon
scious into the arms of another
woman. He then made his es
cape. He went to the round
house, told the night foreman
that he had whipped his wife and
that he had decided to get out of
town. Since that time he has
not been seen.
After the trouble Mrs. Stob
gat her down to the apartments
the pair had formerly occupied
and then and there began an in
vestigation of the Stob effects
that revealed all sorts of things
not the least of which were a
number of letters signed by a
married woman from this city.
They were in the billing, cooing
tone of a midsummer night, the
knee deep in June sort that are
not calculated to be read by a
man's wife under any circum
stances. Mrs. Stob decided that
she would come to this city and
perhaps find her husband here
and that she would prosecute
both him and the woman who
had written him the letters.
Yesterday afternoon she went

to the home of the woman,
was cordially received
ushered into the parlor, but it
took her some time to recover
herself when she saw her hus
band's picture hanging on the
waif between two mottos which
bore the legands "God Bless
Our Home" and "Home Sweet
Home." Then she opened up on
the woman. A complete confes
sion followed and Mrs. Stob
learned a lot of things that her
husband had never told her even
in the heighth of his passion.
She states that so far as her re
for him is concerned "the
light of other days has faded and
all their glories past," and if the
police department of this city
will only bring her -recalcitrant
spouse to justice, she will fur
nish enough good hot stuff to
keep the public reading with
interest for some time.
She demanded that the picture
be taken down from the wall and
returned to her and this was
done. She will remain in this
city for some time looking after
the matter and there is a proba
bility that there will be some
thing doing all around before
very long.
BRYAN IS FRE E
Cass County Grand Jury Does
Not Indict Him for Cass
Lake Shooting.
Advices received in Bemidji
this morning are to the effect
that Conductor Bryant was not
indicted by the Cass county
grand jury in session at Walker
for the shooting of Dr. Whet
stone, the Cass Lake physician.
The evidence was not sufficient
to warrant an indictment before
the jury. The grand jury fin
ished its labors last night.
Had More Than Enough.
Matilda Moore, who says she
came from Euclid, had a great
deal more than she could safely
tote over the rough roads between
the Great Northern depot and 1 he
up-town hotels last night so the
police officers assisted her. The
two wheeled cart at the depot
was pressed into service and the
woman was carted to the police
station. This morning in court
she was sentenced\o spend five,
days in the county jaH. for into
ication. Cass County's New Court House.
Judge Spooner returned yes
terday from Walker, where he
went to attend court and consult
with Judge McClennehan. The
first term of court in Cass coun
ty's new court house is at pres
ent in session. The building is
not yet finished and court has
been compelled to adjourn early
daily on account of the fact that
it is almost impossible to keep
the court room warm.
Special Term of Court.
Judge Spooner today notified
the clerk of court at Clearwater
county that a special term of
court will be convened there Jan.
9. The term will be for the spe
cial convenience of those who
wish to secure citizenship papers
and to transact such other busi
ness as may properly come be
fore it.
Thirty Mile Walk.
Several tote teams left Solway
this morning for the Lake Itasca
camps, and some twenty-five
lumberjacks, shipped from Be
midji, accompanied them. The
morning was a cold one but it is
safe to say that the lumberjacks
will be warm before they have
finished their thirty mile walk.

Mayor Hitchcock of Crooks
ton Talks of Politics in
Northern Minn.
HAS JUST RETURNED FRO AN
EXTENDED TRIP.
Says Dunn's Great Record as
State Auditor Makes Him
a Favorite.
Mayor CharJes A. Hitchcock of
Crookston was in the city last
evening from Blackduck. Mr.
Hitchcock has just completed a
long trip through Polk, Clear
water and Beltrami counties,
where he has come in touch with
all classes and conditions of peo
ple. Mr. Hitchcock is not one of
those who believe in hiding 'their
political opinions under a bushel
and he frankly declares that
northern Minnesota is for Dunn
for governor.
"In our own county of Polk,"
said Mr. Hitchcock, "there will
practically be no opposition to
Dunn. I have during the past
two months traveled through al
most every one of the fifty-nine
townships of the county and the
sentiment for the nomination of
Dunn is overwhelming.
"In Clearwater and Beltrami
counties I find the homesteaders
warm friends of the man from
Princeton. When State Auditor
Dunn at the various state land
sales frowned down all attempts,
of which there were many, to buy
up the settlers' homesteads.on
technicalities he made the set
tlers of northern Minnesota his
friends forever.
"The people of this section of
the state too appreciate very
thoroughly Dunn's great work as
state auditor and there seems to
be a very general sentiment that
a man who so thoroughly knows
the state and who has demon
strated his zeal for the interests
of the people as against the great
corporations wTould
be a pretty
good man for governor. Eddy is
not regarded as a factor in the
contest. I found some Collins
men but they were only occasion
al and if the choice of a governor
were up to the people in primar
ies at this time there can be no
question that Dunn would poll
four-fifths of the vote of northern
Minnesota."

Attacks Little Daughter of Land
lord Underwood at Solway
Last Night.
One little curly dog nearly
caused a riot at the Hotel Solway
at Solway last night. The dog
shot into the hotel, through to
the kitchen and sprung full at
the face of Landlord Dick Under
wood's little daughter, Gladys,
inflicting a slight wound between
the eyes. Mrs. Underwood
drove off the dog which complete
ly tore off the sleeve of her dress.
It then darted through the office
into the bar room which was
crowded with Swede lumber
jacks. jr. Underwood began to
shoot and the Swedes began to
step sidewise. When the panic
was over no damage was done ex
cept to the dog. It was as dead
as it ought to be.

Wants Sober Printer.
Hon. Iver Krohn, publisher of
the Shevlin Advocate, is in the
city this afternoon. Mr.. Krohn
is looking for a printer,one of the
kind that does not trifle with
liquor. He has had experience
with the other sort. The Advo
cate is, as newspaper people say,
"stuck" at present, but the fore
man, who has been on a tangent
for some time, still has his mouth
open and is running easy and at
noon today there were slight
prospects that the Advocate
would be issued this week to an
anxious and long expectant pub
lic.

ma," the famous adept in occult

HEIRS MA NOW
E LOCATED
Printed Account of Ruting
Estate Brings Information
to Probate Court.
RUTING HAD RELATIVES Itf GER
MAN ELIGIBLE AS HEIRS.
American Consul at Berlin Will
Undertake to Find Them
at Once.
Through the publication of a
story in the Pioneer a short
time ago regarding the estate of
Julius Ruting, who formerly re
sided near Blackduck and left an
estate valued at $&,0O0 without
heirs apparant friends of Rat
ing's have been discovered and
the probabilities are that in a
short time his only living rel
atives, peasant people in Alsace.
Germany, will learn that they
have fallen heir to enough money
to fix them all comfortable in the
land of stout King William.
Judge of Probate Clark has re
ceived a letter from a friend of
Ruting'sin St. Paul, who learned
of the circumstances through
the published accounts and who
throws much light on the early
life of Ruting. The friend is
represented by a St. Paul attor
ney. He knew Ruting and his
relatives when the former was a
young man in Germany many
years ago and served in the Ger
man army with him. He has
notified the court where the rel
atives of Ruting may be avail
able and the matter will be
placed in the hands of the Amer
ican consul to the German court
through the German consul of
this country. An investigation
will result which will no doubt
locate the heirs if any of them
are still living.
