and when he arrived at the scene
he found Johnson wild-eyed and
nervous pacing-around the premises, brandishing an ugly looking
knife. The sheriff brought him
to St. Cloud. It is said that
Johnson spent the day butchering and imbibed too freely, and
it is the supposition that he was
temporarily insane. It is reported that he had assembled
all the valuables and was preparing to leave after the deed
had been committed. The following morning he was in a repentant mood and wanted to
return to his family. At a preliminary hearing before Justice
Robbers the following morning
his wife appeared and asked
that he be released, stating
that his decorum was gilt edged
when he was sober. He was
placed on probation.

tke creditors of the Bowlus
bank of 85 per cent.

Look To Your Chimneys.
This is the season of the year
when the defective flue gets in
its deadly work. The coming
of cold weather makes heavier
fires necessary, with the result
that if the Hue become over
heated the tire quickly spreads
and there is a heavy loss even
before the arrival of the tire department. Extra precaution
must be taken  to guard against
anything  of  the  sort.    A blaz-
'" I "f
ing house on a bitter cold 'mining doesn't make a strong appeal to anyone. Better look
at your chimney now; hundreds
of tires costing thousands of
dollars in property is the toll
that Minnesota people pay for
this form of carelessness each
year.
