The month of June, 1905, will g0 on record as the coldest June in years, according to the statistics of the various weather observers. It has attained a lower minimum temperature than in any June in years and in the number of cool days it con- tained it is_ said to be a rival of October. The maximum for the month has been less than 90. In matter of precipitation it is also a record-breaker and more rain has fallen than for the same month in the past 10 years. No particular damage has resulted, however. The hay harvest will be late as a result and the growth of small grains and garden stuff has been somewhat retarded but a few balmy days will right all this. Summer resorts in this section have suffered as a result of the cool weather and talen all in all it has more nearly ap- proached October than the legend- ary month of bowers and balmy ing Co. atmospheric perfection.

Collins stated that he was 22 years of age and that he had never before been arrested on a serious charge. Itis very probable that the sentence imposed upon young Collins will be a term of years in the state reformatory. The young man evidently has been traveling under an assumed name while in Bemidji, as he has always gave the name of Keene before his arraignment this morning. Mrs. Simons’ Father Dead. Mrs. H. A.
