Beecher Ward, a wealthy lum- berman of Fairmont, who was re- cently arrested on the complaint of S. F. Fullerton, executive commission on the charge of kill- ing a cow moose in liasca county during the open season for big game, is threatened with asecond prosecution, Mr. Ward, who was a former member of the state fish and game commission has returned from Mizpah, Itasca county, where he ‘went to answer to a complaint before a justice of the peace for an infraction of the law which prohibits the killing of a female moose. He was highly in- dignant, because, he said, the state fish and game commission had put him to the expense of making the long journey from Fairmont, in the southwest cor- ner of the state, to the Itasca county hamlet to defend a case in which his accusers made no appearance. Ward engaged an attorney at Brainerd and took him with him to Mizpah. He then went twelve miles through the wilderness to the home of the justice. There no legal representative of the fish and game commission appeared, and Justice C. E. Covey dismiss- ed the case. Mr. Ward called at the state capitol, where he vowed summary vengeance on the officers of the fish and game commission. He declared that ke would institute a suit for mali- cious prosecution against the executive officers of the commis- sion, and insisted that he would carry the case to the highest courts of the land, if necessary, to recover damages. Officers of the state fish and game commission admit that they made no appearance at the sitting of the Itasca county court, but said this fact does not indicate there will be no further prosecu- tion. It is claimed thataddition- al evidence has been secured on which to base a prosecution, and that Mr. Ward will be arrested again. This time, it is said, the charge will be the killing of three cow moose instead of one It is claimed that the game commis- sion has secured possession of letters on which to base the sec- ond action.

A peculiar condition of affairs exists regarding the land of a homesteader near Blackduck, and as a_result the title to the land is clouded. The facts in the caseare as follows: The land was filed upon by the present owner in 1898, and the man has lived upon it since that time. About a year ago he made final proof upon the claim, which is composed of 160 acres. Yester- day he asked for an abstract of title of the land, as he wished to borrow money upon the claim. An investigation resulted in find- ing that the land had been mort- gaged by a party who is believed to have resided upon the land previous to 1898, and the mort- gage is still unsatisfied. The consequence is that the home- steader wilF’ not secure a clear title upon the land until he com- pels in a suit atlaw the release of the mortgage. HAS NO SUBSTITUTE Spoiled Her Beauty.

RIDER. LEGISLATURE IN A QUANDARY OVER THE STATUTE REVI SION MATTER. St. Paul, Jan. 20.—Representative H. A. Rider of Little Falls proposed a compromise measure Thursday to sat. isfy those who want state offic nominated directly in the primaries and also those who want the present primary law left undisturbed. The principal feature is that the delegates to the state nominating con- vention are to be selected at a primary election on the second Tuesday in July preceding the g ral election. Kach legislative: district is to be eatitled to four dologatos eoisciod in tho same way as city and county officers. This would cul the present representation down about one-third. To make the race for delegate, Mr. Rider would exact a fee of $20, which must be paid on filing to the county auditor, if only one county is involved in the district, or to the secretary of state, if there is more than one county. In the preparation of the primary pallot, the candidates for delegates to a slate nominating convention are given the head, even preceding the judiciary, which now has first place. W. B. Anderson presented the stat- ute revision c¢mmission report in the form of a bill J. H. Morley movel that the rules be suspended so that the bill could be given a second and third reading and be advanced to general orders.

ROBBERY THE MOTIVE. Car Supposed to Carry Government Cash Wrecked. Des Moines, Jan. 21.—An unsuccess- ful attempt was made to wreck an carry government cash to meet the payroll of the post. An_open switch on a high grade threw the car from the rails, when it was barely prevent- ed from plunging down the high em- bankment. Ida Stewart, colored, a domestic employed at the post, was the only passenger. She was thrown violently against the side of the car and severely injured. It is believed to have been the plan of the bandits to cause the car to wreck itself at the bottom of the embankment. When this failed they disappeared without altempting fo loot the contents.
