Crookston, Aug. 18.—“Big Charlie” well known lumberjack of Bemidji fame, happenad into the city last evening and listened to the strains of music at the band concert, In the middle of the concert he became so wrought up over the new selections being played by the band that he pushed a companion through the big plate glass of the Christiania saloon on Main street He was immediately seized by Chief Eck and brought before judge Me- Lean where he was put under 250 bonds and bound over until the December term of court.

APPLEBY WILL UPHELD, Ausband Fails to Break Ante-Nuptial Contract. St. Paul, Aug. 18.—Judge Hallam was decided against Dr. T. E. V. W. Appleby, who sued for a share of the sstate of his wife, Cornelia Day Ap- pleby. This is the third division of the A. H. Wilder estate, left to charity, amounting in all to $2,500,000. His own bequest was first in 1894, his widow’s like bequest In 1904 was sus- tained after contest. His daughter’s share Is involved in this case. Each of these three wills estab- lished a fund for relief of “the worthy poor,” to be known as the “A. H. ‘Wilder Charity corporatien,” each sep- arately managed. In the estate of Mrs. Appleby funds were set apart to yield an income of $10,000, which was promised to her husband in an ante-nuptial contract. That provision was attacked on the ground that the $10,000 income was a charge upon the whole estate. Underlying that the ante-nuptial agreement was attacked, by which, before their marriage, Dr. Appleby waived any interest in his wife’s es- tate beyond the $10,000 annuity which she thereby guaranteed him, the allow- ance to be forfeited if he remarried. That stirulation was attacked on the ground that it was contrary to pubdec policy as discouraging marriage and it was argued that, if valid, the ante- nuptial contract could not renounce rights to inherit but only present in- terests. Finally the trust was attacked as indefinite and therefore void. Judge Hallam upholds the probate court decrees holding the will good in all respects. HEAVY LOANS TO OFFICIALS. First National Bank of Chelsea, Mass., Closed. Boston, Aug. 18.—The business com- munity of Chelsea was surprised when it became known that the First Na- tional bank of that city, one of the oldest financial institutions in this section of the state, had been closed and Bank Examiner Alfred Ever placed in charge. Many of the small tradesmen had practically all of their ready money tied up in the bank, but it is expected that rellef will be afford- ed by the Winnisimmet National bank of Chelsea, which has offered to pay to depositors of the First National 50 per cent of their accounts. The failure of the bank is reported by the examiner to be due to large ex- cessive loans to officers and directors of the bank., A statement of the re- sources and liabilities of the bank at the date of its last report of condition was made to the comptroller of the currency June 18, 1902. This shows loans and discounts to be $1,114,586, cash on hand $57,379, capital stock $300,000, deposits $579.729. S8CARCITY OF LABOR SERIOUS. Cry for More Men From All Over the Northwest. Duluth, Aug. 18.—Scarcity of labor is the cry all over the Northwest from the Head of the Lakes to the great wheat fields of the Dakotas, where the demand has reached a critical stage. With the largest grain crop in the history of the country the farmers of the Dakotas are crying frantically for help in the harvest. In many cases the farmers are offering from $2.50 to $3 per day and board and have not more than 50 per cent of the labor they require. The same conditions are being experienced in alt lines of Industry, including the railroads, con- tractors and mines, both on the range and in the copper country.

Petersburg, Aug. 18.—The activ- ity of the terrorists and revolutionists and lack of support of the public are steadily forcing the government's hands in the direction of repression.

NEW YORK EXCHANGE. New York, Aug. 18.—The scene of excitement on the Stock Exchange following the announcement of the first dividend for Southern Pacific common and an increase of 2 pér cent in Union Pacific common stock had hardly been equalled since the memor. able .struggle for control of Northern Pacific five years ago. The two Pa- cifics became the center of interest and immediately upon the announce- ment of the dividend there was a frantic rush of brokers to buy these two stocks. Many of them held orders for lots of 10,000 shares each. Room traders joined in the scramble to get the stock before the prices soared too high and in the confused struggle ‘which ensued little attention was paid to prices and the stocks were taken at whatever point they were ruling at at that moment. At noon the excite- ment was at a boiling point, with Un- fon Pacific still advancing and the trading then so heavy that the ticker was four points behind in reporting the advances.
