NASHWAUK MAN UNDER ARREST for Lacerating Neighbor's | Cow. Naskwauk Herald: . Serious domes- tic trouble between, J ohn Gustafson, and his wife resulted in the latter leaving home and for protecion went to the home of Mrs. Kunpruilla, where) she enjoyed comparative peace a few days. Filling up well with booze to furnish him the necessary nerve, he goes to the Kunprulla home and demanded the retum of hiis wife. This was rightfully “refused) ‘him. Threatening to kill their cow if bis wife was mot turned over he pres- sed hag his claim, but the parties stood well their ground and the threat, was carried out. The cow was so cut and lacerated that she died within, a few hours. Gustafson was prosecuted under the charge of de~ stroying propenty and was given 90 days im Grand Rapids jail Sheriff Riley removed the criminal to his tem porary place of abode Tuesday. The case was tried in the Oscar Jobn- ston. justice court. Gustafson is a Fin jander and has no sympathy from his countrymen in Nashwauk, much to their credit. Common Drinking Cup Must Go.

We have it sped cut that if the City team can meet either of the above teams it will be a sure winner for Grand Rapids, thereby giving them the championship of independent football in the state.
