Gayle's $500 If He Can Help 1t.
The social evil dies hard. It had another
spurt in the district court yesterday morn
ing. 1t will be remembered the court de-
cided, not long since, that the mesdames
might furnish bonds for $500 and withdraw
the $500 in cash, which each one had de-
posted. s
At an early hour, yesterday, Matte Gayle
and Mary j. France came into court to take
advantage of this decision. Matte Gayle,
by her attorneys, sMessrs. Masterson and
Erwin, as well as the PrOpriG persona on
veloped in a prodigious duster, appeared
first and offered her bond for $500. She
was assured and her future presence in
sured by E. L. Doc.) Larpenteur and Jo-
seph M. Marion pigs Eye Joe.)
| These suretles were questioned as to real
responsibility, and giving satisfactory
anewers, the following was duly drawn up
AID signed:
We, Matte Gayle, as principal, and E. L..
Larpenteur and Joseph NJ. Marion, as surety,
are held and firmly bound unto the State of
Minnesota in the sum of 600 lawful money
of the United States, to be levied of You and
each of your goods, lands and tenements II

ed against you by the grand jury of this county,

Following this, Mary j. France presented
her claims for q return of her $500 in
cash. This claim was backed with
i Doc. Larpenteur one surety,
and Mrs. France herself as the other, she
answering to the ownership of on $8, ,OOO
house and lot, heretobefore tdesignated'' by
the Society for tho Suppression of Vice.
Satisfactory.
Accordingly bond similar to the above
was entered and signed, andi both cases
the court made the order that the clerA
should turn over $500, respectively to Gayle
and France, or $500 as grand total.
But it doth seem from the record that the
money aforesaid was not refunded as ordered
or, at least, there was slowness in refund
ing, as shown from the following, which car
ries with it it's own explanation:
State of Minnesota, Ramsey county; Distric
Court, Second judicial District.

q st. Paul, June 26, 1879.
subsequently it was learned that the ref
son Of Col. Kiefer's refusal was that he ha
\ been garnisheed on Matte Gayle's account

e The lawyers of the defendant hold tha
: this isn't fair and square in the premises {
the money was not in the clerks hands, BIT
was court funds.

q trouble, but recovered her $500.
