R.PLEY YOUTH UNDER ARREST
Deputy Sheriff P*tul Felix
made a trip to Ripley Friday
afternoon and took Walter Gre-
nier, the youth who has been
terrorizing tlie teacher and pupils in district 42, into custody.
The boy, it is alleged, has been
threatening to kill the school
teacher and one of the girls, a
daughter of Henry Houle, to
whom he has written several
times and it is said that he hid
in the woods near the school
for a number of days with a
large revolver. No school was
held in the district Thursday
and Friday.
The boy is a son of Oliver
Grenier and since moving from
Brainerd to Ripley the boy's
mother waa sent to the asylum
at Fergus  Palls.
The warrant for the boy's arrest was sworn out by Miss Hilda Anderson, the teacher of the
district. The youth is only 14
S old and when taken into
custody by the deputy did not
live up to his description as a
desperate character.
The boy will be given a hearing Monday and will probably
be sent to the Red Wing Training school-—Transcript.

THE SENSE OF TURTLES
Turtles [or Tortoises| are now
migrating from Skunk river to
the small inland sloughs and
puddles. We saw the third one
on such an expedition last Monday afternoon as it passed
through our front yard on its
way from Skunk to the slough
west of our pasture. Though
we picked it up several times
and started it in different directions, the reptile insisted on
making a bee line for that
slough. The turtle was so
young that it could not have
been in that slough before, for
there has been no water there
the last live years.
From the high water, turtles
may, according to turtle reasoning, know that water is plentiful
but what gives them the sense
of perfect direction to this small
slough a half a mile away?
Boys fire stones at these slimy reptiles and kill them,
which, though they may lack
the craft to build deathtraps for
1600 of their fellows, have man
"skinned''in more ways than
one.
Word was received here Monday that Mrs. Henry Traut of
Philbrook, formerly of Buh, had
been severely burnt by th>

ports, however, state that she
is out Of danger, and will fully
recover from the effects of the
accident. Mrs. Traut is a sister
to Wm. Konen and Kr. Konen.
