In a brief note to the governor the State supreme court declined to act as a board of arbitration in the contro- versy between the governor and F. A. Whittier, superintendent of the state training school for boys at Red Wing. The note was signed by Chief Justice | Start and said: | “Your request of May 20 that the justices of the supreme court act as arbiters in the matter of charges to be preferred against the superintendent of the state training school for boys | at Red Wing, has been duly consid- ered and the conclusion reached that we cannot comply with the request. We have no jurisdiction of the matter | as a court, and if we should consent | to act as arbitrators it would estab- lish an undesirable precedent which would embarrass the court and di- rectly tend to impair confidence in it. We are, therefore, constrained by our views of judicial duty and propriety to decline to comply.” MINNESOTA FARMS PAY WELL More Profit Per Acre From Wheat Than Any Other State. Minnesota farmers got more profit per acre from their wheat last year than the. farmers of any other state and more profit per acre from corn than the farmers of any other state except Iowa, according to figures com- piled by George Welch, immigration commissioner, from the government crop reports. | Minnesota farmers, after paying for | labor and figuring the rental value of | the land, got an average return of $6.28 an acre of wheat last year. Iowa was the next best with $6.03, Nebraska | $6.01, Kansas $5.66, North Dakota} $4.87 and South Dakota $4.80.

Iowa did better with a net of $8.43. North Dakota came third with $6.54, South Dakota $6.26, Nebraska $5.69 and Kan- sas $5.90.

Minnesota had its first acquaint- ance with Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey and possible Democratic presidential candidate. Its citizens met the man and heard his views on public questions. | The former president of Princeton university was kept busy meeting the people of the Twin Cities and at the banquet at the Saint Paul he expound- ed in detail his views on what is the matter with American government and what should be done to remedy things. He expressed progressive and mod- | ern views of public questions, but his | remedies for the country’s ills were constructive and not destructive. He | had no quarrel with corporate wealth as such, but demanded that it be made the servant and not the master of the | feople and that what the corporations do be done openly and publicly.

Peter Vorbanich, a settler on Wa- terhen river, south of Biwabik, played the John Deitz role just four days and He is now in a hospital at Vir- ginia dangerously wounded. He was shot through the hand by Deputy Sheriff John King and in the right side by Deputy Sheriff Frank Magie. Vorbanich demanded $1,000 of the Northern Lumber company, a Weyer- haeuser corporation, for the privilege of running logs through the Waterhen river on his land, which the company refused, and for four days he held the drivers at bay, firing a few shots to convince them that he was in earnest. Deputy Sheriffs John King and Frank Magie left Virginia in an auto- mobile with a warrant for the arrest of Vorbanich for assault in the second degree. They left their automobile three miles from the Vorbanich home- stead and proceeded on foot. Arriving in sight of the clearing they found Mr. and Mrs. Vorbanich at some distance from the house and their fifteen-year-old son near the building. The deputies were not mo lested as they approached. When they explained their mission Mrs. Vorban- ich called to her son and talked to him in Austrian, which the deputies | could not understand, but she told the lad in English to get the gun. Son Goes After Rifle. The lad started after it and the dep- uties proceeded to arrest the man and his wife. Vorbanich then picked up a pitch- fork and some rocks. Magie called to King to go after the boy who had gone for the gun, but turned back again when, looking over his shoulder, he saw that Magie was going to have his troubles with the man and woman. King fired at the feet of Vorbanich as the man approached threateningly with rocks and pitchfork, but the man did not hesitate. He came right along and then King shot him in the hand. Still the settler, enraged by his hurt, came forward, and then Magie shot him in the side, and he fell. By this time the boy appeared, run- ning toward the group with his rifle. The deputies put on a bold front to the boy and ordered him to drop the rifle. The lad was anxious to help his parents, but was afraid, and after raising the gun two or three times his nerve failed him and he turned and ran away and later could not be found. The deputies made a stretcher and carried the wounded man three miles to their auto, accompanied by Mrs. Vorbanich. BLAST KILLS THREE MINERS Bodies Torn to Shreds When Powder Explodes Prematurely.
