i i ! o { KNIFE USED IN FRACAS John Sukert, Grant Valley Farmer, Stabbed by Jacob Weis. INJURY IS SERIOUS BUT PROB ABY NOT FATAL. Perpetrator of Crime Arrested And Arraigned in Police Court This Morning. A fight which nearly resulted in the death of John Sukert, a farmer living mn the town of Grant Valley, - took place in the bar room of the Merchants hotel in this city last night between _Sukert and his neighbor, Jacob Weis. The altercation was the result of an enmity which has been pre- valent for some time between the two men. Last fall Weis went to North Dakota to work in the har- vest fields and made arrange- ment with Sukert to remain on the homestead during his ab- sence. Upon his return he found that Sukert had used a number of boards which he had left upon the place and asked that settle- ment be made for their worth. The matter was argued between the two men.for some time and at last Sukert settled the bill. However, the matter created an enmity between the men and it was brought up for discussion every time they met. They both came to the city yesterday afternoon and re- mained here until evening. About 7 o’clock they met at the Mer- chants hotel and again the old matter was taken up. Itwas ar- gued between the two men ab length, the discussion growing hotter each moment. Finally Sukert could control himself no longer and struck Weis a blow in the face with his fist. The blow was returned and in the meelee that followed Weis succeeded in landing Sukert on the floor. It is claimed by Sukert that while he was lying on the floor Weis pulled a jack knife from his pock- et, opened it and stabbed him four times. The police were summoned and Weis was put under arrest and taken to the city jail and locked up. Sukert was taken toa phy- sician, where his wounds were examined. It was found that four wounds had been inflicted, two of which were serious while the others were mere scratches. One of the wounds was in the left side and was apparently aimed directly at the man’s PRINCESS Grocery Co. Don’t forget that our line of Canned Goods is the best.

Bennett of Fosston Says People Demand Clapp’s Re-Election. OPPOSITION CANNOT GIVE REA- SONS FOR THEIR STAND. Pledges to Support the Junior Senator Were Given Before Election. P Representative B. S. Bennett of Fosston arrived in the city this afternoon and will leaye to- morrow morning for St. Paul, where he will attend the caucus which is called for next Tuesday. Mr. Bennett declared himself as a Clapp man from top to bot- tom and said that he would use every effort to secure the re- election of the junior senator, “Sentiment Shroughout the northern part of the state is wholly for Clapp” said Mr. Ben- net, “and the people are indig- nant over the treatment he has received from some of the sena- tors who previous to their elec- tion to office pledged themselves to support him and afterwards turned him down, - not because they had any just reason for so doing but simply to accommo- date some of the political brokers and wire pullers who operate in the Twin Cities, where the fight against Senator Clapp was in- stituted. “As to brains and ability, there is no comparison between Clapp and the men who oppose him for office. He has served one term in the senate and dur- ing that time has shown remark- able ability asa legislator and has secured many things for Minnesota which would have never materialized had a man of lesser ability been in his place. “The Cooper bill, which gives the interstate railway commission power to regulate railway rates, is being used to befog the minds of the peoplein regard to Senator Clapp because he has pledged his support to the measure. However, this move has not been attended with any degree of suc- cess, as the needs of a commis- sion which has power to regulate rates .without the necessity of fighting therailroads in the courts for a number of years is too well known to receive any support. ¢ Another thing which has aroused public indignation is the fact that the fight upon Mr, Clapp was instituted by Joel P. Heat- wole and his confederates. The policial methods of Heatwole and his friends are well known to al- most every citizen of the state and his opposition to the junior senator has resulted in stirring up a feeling for Clapp, especially in the covntry districts, which cannot be overcome, “Two thirds of the members of the legislature pledged them- selves to support Mr. Clapp be- fore their -election, and in fact their constituents placed them selves in office with this under- standing. Those who have not fulfilled their promises are noth- ing but traitors. “St. Paul and Minneapolis have received the bulk of appointments to federal offices and appropria- tions for federal buildings in the past, but when Mr.- Clapp was elected he declared that he would recognize the s tate at large and that each county would receive the same amount of government money and appointments to federal office, everything else be- ing equal. Because he has ful- filled his promise to the people in this the Twin Cities are at- tempting to defeat him in order to secure a representative in the higher house of congress who would use all his influence in the interests of those two cities.’’ Dissolution of Partnership, Notice is hereby given that the copartnership existing between Chas.

I AMUSEMENTS l “A Study in Scarlet,” which is a dramatization by Mort W. San- ford, of Sir A. Conan Doyle’s first and most popular story of that great detective Sherlock Homes, is anuounced by Mana- ger A.T. Wheelock of the City Opera house for Thursday even- ing, Jan 5. This play is meeting with univernal and deserved suc- cess eyerywhere. It is an at- traction differing from the usual run of shows seen in this city and one which is of the highest dramatic standard, It is not a “weird” or ‘“lurid”’ melodrama, as are the numerous ‘‘blood and thunder” detective plays. “A Study in Scarlet” contains a ser- ies of intense clinaxes,-that re- sult from natural and interest- ing circumstances, about the life of that great expert in the de- duction of crime. The sale of seats for this special engagement of Tom Arthur’s excellent pro- duction of this play will be placed on sale the usual time in advance of its presentation.

Distributes Christmas Presents to the World at Large. New York, Dec. 30.—The United States played Santa Slaus to the world_at large, according to reports secured from General Superintendent Joseph Elliott of the money order di- vision of the New York postofiice. From Dec. 1 to Dec. 24, the night be- fore Christmas, no less than 334,084 international orders were forwarded to other ‘lands from this city, and these orders called for $4,667,628.90. “The remittances,” said Mr. El- liott, “were the largest in the history of the postoffice. The figures show an unusual distribution also. For in- Stance, Ttaly came second in the list of beneficiaries, in point of money re- celved, and a good first in the amount of individual orders. “Great Britain, as a matter of course, got more money and more or- ders, but averaging the amount of the separate orders it is seen that the British recipients got but. little more than $10 apiece. The Italian orders show an average of more than $30 each. Portugal had the smallest average. forwarded to that country was $2.” —Postponed Indefinitely. ‘Washington, Dec. 30.—The inter- state commerce commission, by stipu- lation of counsel, has postponed. in- definitely the hearing of arguments in the case of W.
