An Important Decision.

In the Circuit Court, at Milwaukee,
on April 18th, suit of Importance to
mutual benevolent associations was
decided. The case in question was
that of Maxwell against the Hiber-
Man Benevolent Society. Maxwell,
about year ago, while in LOOMS S
pawn shop, accidentally shot himself
in the thigh while handling loaded
revolver, which incapacitated him for
any service during six or eight weeks.
On his recovery. he applied to the
Hibernian Society for the benefits
usually accorded to members who
have suffered loss through indisposi-
ton. The directors or trustees of the
Society refused to honor his demand,
setting forth as reason that the
wound he had suffered was the result
of his own carelessness. Maxwell
engaged counsel and sued for the
amount he claimed was due to him.
Judge Small decided that benevolent
associations are the tribunals to decide
whether members are entitled to bene-
fits or not, every member by adopting
or signing the constitution or bylaws
voluntarily binding himself to be gov
erned by the rules and regulations OF
that association. The case was
dismissed.

Quite a fever is being worked up
IN our city for Dakota. While Dako-
ia may have some inducements over
this state in a few particulars, as a
whole, for laborer, Wisconsin offers
the best Inducements. You cannot
get rich here except perhaps in term
of years, which you are sure to do if
you ply with perseverance and hard
work. \ laboring man has opportu-
mites here, he cannot expect to have
in Dakota. Here crops never fail
while in the Territory the elements
arc not so certain. We have no wind
storms, no billiards, no drouths and
fair weather the most of the year
Good wages are paid here in all kinds
of business. Our climate is excellent,
water the same, wood in abundance
and cheap society as rule intelli-
gent, frugal, honest and thrifty.
Churches of most denominations and
every thing people desire to be made
happy and comfortable. We do not
desire to discourage any person from
going to Dakota. if in their sober
judgement they believe they can better
their condition. If a man is poor his
prospects are better. as rule, where
he has friends and in we'll populated
territory. Look out and don't get the
fever too serious.

At regular meeting of the city
council held on the 18th instant, the
saloon license was raised from 100 to
125 dollars. The brewery license was
voted at so dollars. We are in favor
of total prohibition in every case
where the moral tone of society is
powerful enough to sustain prohibition
but when such is not the case then we
believe in having a good round price
for license privilege, and then to
issue license to such only as can be
made to respect the laws under which
it is governed. Our saloons are not
now, and have not for some time past,
observed the statutory laws, on selling
to minors and observing the Sabbath.
Only last Sunday evening there were
lights in the saloon just south of the
post office. The clerk can be seen
coming down street Sunday mornings
as regular as in the week. We do not
say they do sell, as we have not posi-
tive knowledge that they do. but we
have no doubts but that they do.
This should be stopped. Then again
there are saloons running nov. by men
who should be refused a license, as
entirely unfit to keep even grog-shop.
We say this in kindness and mean
what we say. We understand there is
disposition on the part of some of
our citizens to cut the license down
This we hope our city fathers will be
brave enough to prevent. If we must
have saloons, let US at least have them
as decent as possible

In consequence of the voters of
this city having elected a Marsha
who is thoroughly incompetent to
perform the duties of that off ce. the
taxpayers are obi ged to pay "a per
day fer an extra police force Tri-
6me
The above is untrue and the writer
thereof knows it as we'll as we do.
Be cause the Marshal levied on the
Job press Of the Tribune some time
ago, to collect the taxes according to
the rolls placed in his hands for
collection, against the Tribune, which
they refused to pay, they take every
opportunity of rejecting upon him.
We have stated the facts. The extra
poles were put on moreto keep peace
at night than in the day time. The
Marshal has done has duty and be-
cause he did his duty in collecting the
tax from the Tribune, they throw out
little squibs of dirt hoping thereby
to humble the Marshal You are
wasting your words Mr.. Tribune, and
rejecting upon your own honesty.
While ). n. Brundage was Mayor
there were extra police put on duty
because the Council deemed it for
the best interest of society the same
as they have done recently.

Grecian Archipelago, on Sunday,
April 3. In the chief town, Kastro,
with Is, 900 inhabitants, three or four
thousand persons we're killed and
wounded, and but fifty houses were
left standing. Later reports state
that thirty villages, in other parts of
the island, were wrecked, and as many
as 40, 900 people were made destitute
The eutire number of victims is esti-
mated at 5000. The shocks were
widely felt among the islands and
along the coasts of the mainland.

4 triple murder was committed in
Texas on the 10th inst. A dispatch
from San Antonia, Texas, says /: a
most horrible triple murder was com
mitted about eight miles from that
city, on Thursday last The murder
ed people were Mrs. Simons, whose
throat was cut from ear to ear. Her
little boy four years old whose brains
were dashed out on rock, and Mrs.
Emily Parder, mother of Mrs. Simons
who seems to have been stangled. 1t
was first thought that Jno. Simons
husband and father, who has a bad
reputation in the place he lived, was
the murderer, but a sheep herder
named Phillips was arrested last night,
on suspicion of having committed the
deed. A pair of suspenders, known
to have belonged to Phillips, were
found tied around Mrs. Simon's legs,
and his gun was found near by with
blood upon it. Facts and circum-
stances seem to show That Mrs. ST.
mons, and perhaps her mother, were
raped and then killed;

The Plain Truth.


No respectable person will descend
to personal controversy with c. O..
Baker. But when men such as he run
for Office it sometimes becomes neces-
sary to speak the truth concerning
them. Otherwise many good people
are liable to be deceived and imposed
upon. This Baker asked the people
to elect him County Judge-a very
honorable and responsible Office. We
spoke of him Is a defaulter, and the
people seemed to take that view of the
case. But he now rushes into print
with a statement that he is not a de-
faulter on account of money stolen by
himself, but only on account of that
stolen by L. z. Powers. The follow
ing are the bottom facts, as shown
by the record: Baker was County
Clerk from January 1873, to October
1875. Judgment was rendered
against him and his sureties. Deem
Der IA, 1877 for S2819.O2. This in
cludes interest for about one year, and
was for moneys belonging to the coun-
ty that came into his hands as Clerk,
and which he never paid over as re-
quired by law. Powers was Bakers
immediate predecessor, and the latter
reported when he went into office that
Powers had paid over to him all coun-
ty funds in his hands. Baker was a
candidate for reelection, but was de-
ffeated by F. J. Wood, but in making
the county canvass he threw out two
or three election precincts that had
given majorities for Wood, and de-
clared himself reelected. This drove
Mr.. Wood to suit at law to recover
the office which resulted in Woods
getting the office in October 1875,
(instead of in January, when his term
really commenced and in Baker,
being fined 5000 for making the fraud
ulent canvass to keep himself in office
after the people had beaten him
(Which fine has never been paid J
When Baker was compelled to sur
render the Office he was of course re.
quired to give an account of the funds
in his hands belonging to the County
There was a deficiency of about
S250O.00 which could no longer be
be concealed. He then made state
ment in which he claimed that about
$4,000 of this deficiency was in
reality a defalcation of Powers. and
admitted that he had been covering ii
up from the County Board and people
during the three years he had been in
office, and lying all that time when he
reported the money as paid over to
him, by Powers. This was no excuse
for baker, but was the best explana-
ton he could make; but this left
about $4,000 of the deficiency as
having occurred in Bakers term, and
as having been stolen by himself.
After judgment was rendered against
Baker and his sureties-years after he
went out of Office, he managed to
trump up a bill against the County of
some $3.50 90 for which he was in
credited in this matter, thus reducing
his individual theft, according to his
theory, to about $4,000 Powers
has always denied Baker. statement
as to his alleged $1S00.0O defalcation,
and people are at liberty to believe
either story they please.
