Goll, former assistant cashier of the First National bank of this city, was yester- day found guilty by a jury in the Uni- ted States district court on nineteen county out of thirty-four. The counts in the indictments against the defend- ant on which he was found guilty ‘re- late to false entries and the misappli- cation of funds in the bank, those re- lating to embezzlement and telegrams being thrown out. The verdict was reached by the jury after a session lasting eight hours. The amount of money which Goll was alleged to have misapplied was about $250,000 The trial of Henry G.

The most interest- ing part of the testimony was that of- fered by the former president of the bank, Frank G. Bigelow, who is now serving a ten-year sentence at the Fort Leavenworth prison, he having plead- ed guilty to looting the bank, without undergoing a trial. Bigelow testified that many of the acts with which Goll was charged were committed under his direction, but stated that he had no knowledge of some of them. SHOOTS TOE TO DODGE SCHOOL. Twelve-Year-Old Resorts to Heroic Measures. Waverly, Iowa, May 1. — Rather than go to school Clyde Mishler, twelve years old, shot himself through the great toe with a target rifle.

The wound, while not serious, was sufficiently so to answer the pur- pose of the boy, and he has not been to school since. BULLET ENDS LIFE.

DEER BEATS IRON HORSE. Great Northern Ore Train Has Race With Forest Animal. Hibbing, Minn., May 2.—There was an exciting race’ yesterday between a Great Northern ore train and a deer, and a number of wagers were laid by the train crew on the result. The deer popped out of the woods about midway between here and Swan Riv- er, took the edge of the track and trotted along ahead of the train. The engineer opened the throttle a little wider, but the deer put a little more ginger into its legs and kept aheaa, Then the throttle was thrown wide open and the train shot forward with greatly increased speed. Still the deer managed to keep ahead for about 200 yards further.

Johnson has desided to ipsue a proclamation submitting to the voters of Itasca county at the next general election the petition calling for a di- vision of Itasca county into two coun- ties, one to be known as Koochiching and the other to retain the neme of Itasca. Sixty days’ time is given un- der the statutes to issue the proclama- tion, but Gov. Johnson has decided to issue it at once. This ends the struggle between the advocates of four distinct plans for division of the county. There were four petitions fired, but the Itasca pe- tition takes precedent because it was filed first. This petition proposed to divide the county by a line running two miles south of Northome and thence almost straight east to the boundary of Itasca county. The peti- tion was signed by 1,080 persons and requests that the new county be called Koochiching, and that International Falls be the county seat. W. C. Stanton of International Falls appeared before Gov. Johnson to argue in behalf of the petition. He says there is no doubt that the voters will pass favorably upon this plan of divis- ion. At present those living in Inter- national Falls have to traved 700 miles by rail to reach the county seat at Grand Rapids. They have to travel through Ontario and Manitoba, two provinces of Canada, and the mileage is so expensive that only the most im- portant litigation can be carried on. Mr. Stanton states that the division under the petition which will be sub- | mitted to the people will give Itasca county a population of 8,000, with an assessed valuation of $8,000,000, and Koochiching county a population of 4,000, with a $4,000,000 valuation. In- ternational Falls is the center of popu- lation of the proposed county, and it is contended that because of its loca- tion it will continue to be the center of population. The main question at issue was whether Gov. Johnson should issue 4 proclamation on each petition or only upon one. Under the new code only one petition can be submitted at a time, and Mr. Jelley ruled that the code must govern. In case this peti- tion fails to be adopted one of the oth- ers can be submitted. It is not unlikely that the matter will be carried into the courts to de- termine whether Gov. Johnson can is- sue proclamations covering all the pe- titions to be voted upon at once. The contest to secure the county seat for the new division is especially strong and the backers of the defeated peti- tion, it is intimated, want to carry their case into court. EPIDEMIC AMONG CATTLE. Legislature Will Be Appealed to in Campaign Against Tuberculosi Owing to an epidemic of tubercu- tosis among cattle in certain sections of the state, an effort will be made at the next session of the legislature to require the pasteurization of all skimmed milk to be fed to cattle. Recent discoveries by Dr. H. J. Rus- sel, bacteriologist at the state univer- sity, show that tuberculosis has be- come dangerously prevalent. This is especially true in the vicinity of Deer- field, which is only a few miles east of the Capital city. From 60 to 75 per cent of the cattle in the neighborhood of Deerfield have been found to be affected with tuberculosis. Out of 5,000 tubercular tests sent out from the university station recently, fully one-third went into the region of Deer- field. The situation there is easily ex plained. Milk from two herds was sent to two factories. The skimmed product was returned to the farmers, but in no case was it possible to give the farmer the milk from the product which he brought to the factory. As a result diseased milk was generally distributed and was fed to calves and hogs. This is the way in which tuber- culosis is being spread among Wis- sonsin cattle. SONS OF NORWAY PREPARE. The order of Sons of Norway is ar- ranging an important celebration of the 17th of May, the Norwegian inde- pendence day, at-Hudson. The prin- cipal orator will be August Severson of De Forest, Wis. He will review the events of last summer, which culmi- nated in the separation of Norway from Sweden as well as the heroic events of 1814, when the little nation of the North Star got its sacred consti- tution. Prominent Norwegians of Hudson will also speak. and a musical prograin of marked excellence will be present- ed., It is expected that neighboring cities of Wisconsin and Minnesota wii} send large delegations.—W. The authorities at Black River Falls are again having trouble with the In- dians. A wagon load of them was taken from a saloon on the East side, and action has been begun against Thomas Nelson for selling liquor to those who have been blacklisted. John Boehm, aged seventy-eight, a retired business man, committed sui- cide at Durand by throwing himself under a train. His head was com-| pletely severed. Poor health was the State Day by Day | INTEREST, 2000200000008 FULLERTON DISGUSTED. Pike Egg Gathering Expedition Is a Failure. Since Judge Hallam of St. Paul has modified the injunction to protect pike spawn, the state will have few pike fry to distribute this year, for the egg gathering expedition camped on Pike niver near Tower faces absolute fail- ure. The Tower Lumber and Boom company has been driving logs day after day, and these form jams in the river below the falls, interfering with the dragging of the seine and hinder- ing the work at every turn. Executive Agent Fullerton is disap- pointed and disgusted at the turn af- fairs have taken. The pike are spawn- ing by the millions in the narrow about forty rods below the falls, but it seems the ycan get no further, owing to the thousands of logs in the river. The fish are so thick that they crowd each other out of the water, and may be caught in the hands. Many spawn on rocks which are left bare when the water goes down in the night, thus making millions of eggs. worthless. Fullerton’s party has camped on Pike river since April 21, and has made five and six hauls every day. Most of the time not a fish is caught and few female pike have been taken. This means that there will be millions less of pike to distribute throughout the state this year. MADE DEPUTY FIRE WARDENS. New Dutp Imposed on Presidents of Villages. State Forestry Commissioner C. C. Andrews has sent notice to the presi- dents of 106 villages and about ten cities i nthe state calling their atten- tion to the provision of the new code, which makes them deputy fire wardens for their districts for the prevention of forest and prairie fires. He says that while it is not often that fires start within the village and the city limits, last spring a fire caus- ed by burning brush in the city limits of Duluth during the very dry and windy weather endangered the water- works, spread twenty miles and did much damage. “By letting it be known that you are concerned in the enforcement of this law against carelessness with fire,” he tells them, “you can in a dangerous season exert a very valuable influence. If a bad fire should have its origin in your district the public would hold you somewhat responsible.” DISEASED STATE CATTLE. Three-fourths of a Herd at Asylum at Fergus Falls Affected. The cattle at the insane asylum at Fergus Falls were tested for.tubercu- losis by a state veterinarian last week, with surprising results. The herd on the hospital farm numbers eighty-one, and of this number sixty showed a re- action, indicating that they were af- fected with tuberculosis. These ani- mals were all condemned and will be killed in a short time, although three of them that were slaughtered immedi- ately di dnot indicate anything very se- rious. Two of the three showed no tuberculosis, while the third was some- what affected. The herd will have to be replaced with new stock under the orders of the board. The result of the test is a decided surprise, as the cattle appear to be perfectly healthy and are kept in a sanitary stable and given the best of care. DRAIN 40,000 ACRES. State. Drainage Board Appropriates $25,600 for Ditches. The state drainage board has ap- propriated $25,600 for ditches in the northern part of the state.

Washington, April 26--The ears of the American farmer must have burned yesterday because of the eulo- gies and tributes to his untiring en- ergy, his devotion and his patriotism which were paid him by members of the house during the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. The president’s message recom- mending an appropriation of $300,000 for Mare Island navy yard was read and referred to the committee on ap- propriations.

Friday. Washington, April 28.—The tariff de- bate which was precipitated upon the house Thursday through the speeches of Mr. Boutell (Ill.) and Mr. Hepburn (Iowa) was further continued yester- day by Mr. Williams (Miss.), the ml- nority leader.

The house passed an emergency ap- propriation bill carrying $170,000 for the benefit of the sufferers at San Francisco and the employment of la- borers at Mare Island navy yard. Three hundred and fifteen pension bills were passed. An agreement was reached to conclude general debate on the agricultural appropriation bill to-day at 3:30 o’clock. In concluding yesterday his two days’ speech on the railroad rate bill Mr. Spooner took cognizance of the charge of misquotation against himself which he said had been made in con- nection with Mr. Bailey’s speech though not in the speech and quoted at length from his previous remarks to show that the criticism had been with- out foundation. All the private pension bills on the calendar were passed. Saturday. Washington, April 30—The senate Saturday passed the Indian appropria- tion bill.
