Stacy, deputy public examiner, is said to have resigned, his retire- ment to become effective July 1. The retirement of Mr. Stacy is said to be due to a number of causes. During the last legislature he is said to have made himself obnoxious to certain po- litical interests by his assistance of the house committee on public ac- counts and expenditures. Governor Eberhart has received a letter from Postmaster General Burle- son informing him that an inspector from the office of public roads at Washington at an early date will go over the Minnesota valley scenic highway route with a view of approv- ing its designation as a federal post road and providing for the $25,000 aid. The Minnesota Historical society is | to make investigations in the town- ship of Cambria, Blue Earth county, where have been found evidences of habitations believed to date back earlier than the Indians. Preliminary excavations uncovered implements of domestic use as well as of warfare and much pottery. Paper machine workers at the mills in St. Cloud, Little Falls and Grand Rapids went on strike, demanding an eight-hour day. The officials of va- rious plants conferred with the men, who afterward went back to work temporarily, on assurance that a set- tlement agreeable to them will be reached. Koochiching county, where new roads are badly needed, was granted $244,517 in the apportionment for new highways by the state highway commission. The commission approved 486 miles of new highway to cost $369,898. Other new roads and ; amounts: Aitkin, $32,874; Itasca, $80, 752; Hubbard, $11,755. A complaint signed by 100 workers | in any industry will be sufficient to start an inquiry into the wages of women and children in that trade, ac- cording to a tentative agreement reached at the first meeting of the Minnesota minimum wage commis- sion. H. L. Buck will succeed George P. | Tawney as postmaster at Winona. The nomination of Mr. Buck was sent to the senate by the president. He was named on the recommendation of F. B. Lynch, national committee- man. CRIMES AND MISHAPS. Paying no attention to the advice | given him by his elder companions, ,; William Walton, the nine-year-old son /of L. M. Walton, head *miller for the Crookston Milling company, was | drowned while attempting to swim | across the Red Lake river about a mile east of Crookston. The lad went down within a few feet of the place where two of his sisters, Grace, aged nineteen, and Luella, aged sixteen, were drowned two years ago last Au- gust while bathing. Chris Peterson of Minneapolis was run over and instantly killed by a St. Paul train at Lake of the Isles. The man was working near the tracks cleaning up the right of way. He failed to notice the approach of the train as his eye fell on a dandelion and, stepping on the tracks to pick it up, he was struck. Chris Virgens, a farmer residing | Reag TrupRe Was held to the Martin county grand jury on a charge of murder in the first degree. He is sus- pected of shooting to death his neigh- bor, John Steen. He was not ad- mitted to bail. Steen’s body was found in his hogyard early Thursday, May 8. The second drowning in Brown coun- ty in two weeks occurred when Jo- seph Rieger of New Ulm, twelve years old, was seized with cramps while bathing in the Cottonwood river near the mill dam. The boy stood on a rock and dived into water three feet deep. He failed to come to the surface. Mrs. E. D. Wallace, for fifty years a resident of St. Paul and other Min- nesota cities, was one of the victims of the recent disaster at Long Beach, Cal. She came to Minnesota in 1852 and at various times lived at Sauk Center, Osakis, Alexandria and St. Paul. Miss Josephine Sikora, aged twen- ty-six, died in the St. Paul police am- bulance on the way to the city hos- pital after having taken carbolic acid. Despondency over ill health is believed to have been the cause of her act of self destruction. A. M. Johnson, Columbia Heights, Minneapolis, accidentally shot off the hand of his eighteen-months-old baby when the trigger of a shotgun caught in his clothing as he lifted it from a porch. John Larvold was drowned at Hal- stad while attending a school picnic in the woods along the Red river. His body was recoveréd two hours later. with He was fiftéén years of age.

Mrs. Lucy Day Appleton, a territorial pioneer of Minnesota, is dead at her residence in Minneapolis. She was taken as a small girl to Minneapolis | by her parents in 1849. She was seven- ty-two years old. ABOUT THE STATE News of Especial Interest to: Minnesota Readers. Well Known Pioneer of This State Passes Away at Mankato at an Advanced Age. The shock of hearing of the death of an old friend led to the death of General James H. Baker, one of the well known pioneers of Minnesota, at his residence in Mankato. General Baker had been confined to his home for several months affected by hardening of the arteries. He had | been improving and felt better than usual, but one of his callers men- tioned the death of Alanson Messer of St. Paul, an old friend of his, and | the shock overcame him. He died before physicians could arrive. Members of the family had kept the death of Mr. Messer away from | General Baker, although Messer died ; on March 11. General Baker, who was born in Butler county, O., in 1829, became a resident of Minnesota in 1857. He fought in the Indian campaigns in this state and in the Civil war. He was commissioner of pensions under President Grant, surveyor general of Minnesota for four years and state railroad commissioner from 1881 to 1886. THREE AUTOISTS ARRESTED St. Paul Men Accused of Running Down Red Wing Woman. Charged with running down and killing Mrs. Alfred Anderson of Red Wing, R. H. Babcock of the Fossness- Satterlee-Babcock Automobile com- pany, Andrew Berkey of the St. Paul Tire Repair company and S. M. Claus- sen, son of City Engineer Oscar Claussen, all of St. Paul, were ar- rested by Red Wing police. A charge of manslaughter was placed against Babcock and he was held without bail. Berkey and Claussen, wanted as witnesses, were released on $5,000 bail. Mrs. Anderson, who was fifty years old, was run down at 8 p. m. The three St. Paul men were arrested at 3 a. m. at Berkey’s summer home at Lake City. All were in bed when taken. Babcock is said to have ad- mitted he was driving the machine. That the big Fiat car Babcock was driving was going at terrific speed is indicated by the fact that every bone in Mrs. Anderson’s body was broken. One leg was severed, her skull frac- tured and her whole body crushed. It was picked up forty feet from the place it was struck. The police say the car continued without stopping. It skidded over a curbing, ran through a yard, then back into the street. COURT CITES COMMON LAW Minnesota Supreme Tribunal Decides Rate Case. Striking down through statutory en- actment to the common law, in a de- cision so worded as to weight it inestimable possibility of in- terpretation or application affecting railroad freight rates in Minne- sota, the state supreme court, in a decision that evoked the concern of the state railroad commission and startled the legal fraternity and traf- fie officials of the roads, decided in the notable case of J. C. Sullivan and others against the Minneapolis and j Rainy River Railroad company that the common law “imposes upon com- mon carriers the duty of equality in freight rates to all shippers similarly circumstanced, for the transmission of the same class of goods the same distance.” The suit involved recov- ery of money paid for transportation of logs. WELL KNOWN ALIENIST DEAD Dr. H. A. Tomlinson Passes Away at | Willmar. { Dr. Harry A.

BAKER DEAD | Minnesota State Fair Time Remains ;91%@92c; Sept., 93%c. Unchanged. State fair week in 1914 will be the first week in September. Represen- tatives of various state fair associa- tions of the Middle West, after a struggle with the problem of altering the date for the Minnesota fair, de- cided that to do so would be to bring about a. detrimental conflict with other fairs. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association had requested the state fair board to set back the date a week in order to give agriculturists of the north, whose harvest is slower to ripen, an opportunity to get their best products on exhibition. Michigan would not yield its week, third in September, and Wisconsin and South Dakota, which hold fairs the second week, would not consent together to advance to the Michigan week. Minnesota was reluctant to enter into competition with either the South Dakota or Wisconsin fairs, and considered the third week of September too late. Delegates Take Unanimous Vote at Minneapolis. Secession from the Modern Woodmen of America was voted unanimously by 100 delegates representing 12,000 members of the Third, Fifth and Tenth congressional districts at a con vention in Minneapolis. The step was decided upon by a resolution in which the conduct of the officers in control of the organization was condemned and a declaration made in favor of the formation of a state organization. This action was in harmony with that taken at Rochester for the First district, at Windom for the Second, and at Granite Falls for the Seventh. The delegates prepared for a cam- paign which they plan to undertake in the camps with which they are af- filiated to encourage sentiment for the withdrawal of sufficient members to make possible the new organiza- tion. The number required for this purpose by the enabling act passed by the legislature is 15,000. ENGINEER KILLED IN WRECK Great Northern Passenger Train Runs Into Derail.
