THREE CARD MONTE MUST GO.

"A Mower County Sufferer has His Revenge.
We find the following important in
formation in the Minneapolis Journal of
May 9th. AS the case has local inter-
est, on account of the complainant being
a resident of Mower county, we give the
article in full:
The supreme court of this state to-day
dealt the nefarious game of three card
monte blow square between the eyes
that is a sumner to the game and the lads
who would engage in it. The court
athrms sentence that sends John Gray
to state prison two years for playing It
and roping in an unsuspecting Swede to
the tune Of $50. The decision is of the
utmost Importance. It effectually settles
the game of three card monte and who
ever plays it hereafter will do so at the
peril of his liberty and citizenship. The
case at issue, and upon which the decision
is rendered, is briefly this: John Gray
and John Doe, dealers, conspired against
Lorsten Olson, grceny, who was easily
led into the game. at Rochester, Mimi,
July 9Th, 1881. Olson lives at Sergeant,
Mower county, and attended Forepaugh's
circus at Rochester on that day. He met
Gray that day, who led him into
conversation, and under the pretense of
wanting him to distribute advertisements,
took him to by place where Doe dropped
down, and wanted the two to bet on
cards. Olson testified that the cards were
about 2x4 inches, and lone had number
10 on it and a black spot in one corner"
Olson was induced to bet SIS first, then
$40, then SIS, then $50, that he could
point out the card shuttle. He lost, of
course.
Filing complaint the grand jury of
Olmsted county found an indictment
against Gray, December Z, 1881. Trial
in the district court of that county re-
suited in judgment against Gray, he was
pronounced guilty, and the court SEN
fenced him to two years at hard labor in
state prison. Gray appealed to the SUI
preme court.
The latter court finds that the money,
$40, obtained from Oleson was feloniously
obtained by three card monte, cor other
forms and devices and slight of hand"
The Indictment is sufficient and it's allega-
tions sustained by proof of the use of
cards different from common playing
cards. The decision of the lower court
is affirmed, the decision being rendered
by Judge Dickinson. Heretofore the adj
ministration of law against three card
dealers has been relax, but the present
decision will have the effect to make II
more binding and sit hard on the monte
men

THE Winona Herald gives the follow
ing as the vote cast for the presidential
and congressional candidates in the present
congressional district in November, 1880:
Garfield, 18,075; Hancock, 9,296; Dun
nell, 14,652; Wells, 9,678; Ward, 3,e72.
1t is shown by this vote, that Wells re-
ceived only 1872 more votes than Hancock
and that Garfield received 3,423 more
votes than Dunnell, and that Dunnell's
majority over both Wells and Ward was
1902, which was surprising triumph for
Dunnell, considering the fight made upon
him in his party, and another Republican
candidate in the field.

Decoration Day.


Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest,
On this Field of the Grounded Arms,
Where foes no more modest,
Nor sentry's shot alarmsl
Ye have slept on the ground before,
And started to your feet
At the lannon's sudden roar
Or the drums rebuilding beet.
But in this camp of Death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace,
Untrampled lies the sod:
The shouts of battle cease
1t Is the Truce of GOdl
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep;
The thoughts of men shall be
AS sentfnels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.
