S R (ST LONG SEARCH IS SUCCESSFUL Judge Clark Finds Heirs To Julius Ruting Estate at Blackduck. Di‘lAb MAN'S MOTHER LOCATED IN GERMANY. Probate Court Advised by German Consul That She is His Only Heir. A long and diligent search for the heirs of Julius Ruting, a former resident of Blackduck, was ended today when Judge of Probate Clark received a letter from the German consul at St. Paul advising him that Ruting’s mother had been found in Meck- Jenberg, Germany, and was the only heirto the dead man ’s-estate which is valued at about $5,000. Ruting was a homestghder who lived near Blackduck, and was quite well known in that village. He was taken ill and died 1n a St. Paul hospital without designating |1 the heirs to his estate and with- out making any statement that might lead up- to—theirlocation. The estate was enterad in the probate court last January and Judge Clark has been making every effort to discover the re- latives since that time. The mat- ter was taken up by the consul without success, but some in- formation was later received from a friend of the dead man in which his birthplace was dis- covered. The matter was again talten up with the consul and he instituted an inquiry which resulted in the discovery of Ruting’s mother. Ruting’s mother is over eighty years of age and liyes with some distant relatives, - The §5,000 which she will receive from her son’s estate will be an indeperd- ent fortune in Germany.

They drew the net ten times’ in differ- ent sections of the lake,but failed to secure any specimens that were worth keeping. The work was done at the request of Execu- tive Agent Fullerton, who is par- ticularly anxious that the Minne- sota fish exhibit at the exposition shall not suffer by comparison. Mr. Ellis has written Mr. Fuiler- ton that he had no Success and will probably be instructed totry at some of the other lakes in the county. Brings In Black Fox.

Wo00DS ARE FULL OF BARKISES There Will be a Hot Time Over Clearwater County First Election. CANDIDATES COMING OUT OF WO0O0DS IN ALL DIRECTIONS. Election Being the County’s First the Result is Hard to . Forecast. Clearwater county will ‘this fall hold its first election and there is much speculation as to what will happen. Candidates for the various offi- ces are numerous and two have already filed notice of their in- tention to run, Nobody knows just what an election in Clear- water cou 'ty will develope; the run for office is a sort of free -for and there is at present evidence of a good many starters. Bagiey has grown uite rapidly and will have a weighty voice in the election but the county is getting to be pretty well settled and the farmers will cast big vote, and if they can get together they can probably swing anything they wanb. g 5 The situation as to sheriff is much complicated. Sheftiff Holst it is claimed could win easily if he were a republican, Ed Barness, village marshall at Bag- ley, is said to be a candidate, while a good many suspect that Swan Torkelson will do a stunt or two at the proper time. Clerk of Court Reff will be a candidate. . He is a popular gen- tleman and will keap his oppo- nents busy. Albert Anderson of the Obeg Journal is expected to be a candidate against him while Cashier Oscar Barness of the Clearwater county bank is also being pushed forward by his friends. County Attorney McGlennon will seek the nomination with a strong following, while Attorney Tietsworth is an avowed candi- date and Attorney O’Keefe is also accused of nursing political ambitions. T. L. Twiete has filed as a can- didate for treasurer as has dep- uty auditor C. F. Peterson for auditor. Dr. Bjorneby can be register of deeds again if he wants to be and’ Judge of Pro- bate Bergland has no opposition but both gentlemen it is said decline to serve again. There is just enough uncer- tainty to the political situation in Clearwater county to lend plenty of interest to the developments of the next few months.

"A Jap was sitting in a street car reading the account of the Russo-Japanese war, in a daily paper, when a rather fresh young fellow approached him-and expecting to make the Jap appear ridiculous to the large crowd in the car asked in a deep,loud voice: “What kind of a 'nese are you, a Japanese or a Chinese?”’ The little native of the Orient quietly folded up his paper, looked the f. y. f. squarely in the face and remarked: “What kind of a key are —you, yankey, donkey ot monkey?” car was so great that the fresh young fellow (uietly made his exit at the next corner and waited a half hour or more for another car, To Move To New Location.
