The Historical" Suits.

The question now arises will this be
the final outcome I 1t will be remem
bcred that VIC referred briefly in our
last issue to the result Of the suits
brought by the North Star Publishing
Company against several of our citizens
to recover the subscription price of the
book known as the "liistory of the Min
nesota Valley" Inasmuch rs many of
our leading citizens were implicated in
these suits no little interest was felt as
to the outcome. AS we mentioned IN
our last weeks paper, the cases were
brought before Squire Burgess, of Eagle
Lake, and the first suit called was that
against Henry Shaubut. A jury was
called for by defendant, and two days
spent in the trial of the cause, with a
final verdict in favor of plaintiffs, On
which judgment was rendered in their
favor. The other defendants either
settled and paid fer the book, or stipu-
lated that Judgment might be entered
against them ON the same testimony
that had been given in the Shaubut
case, reserving the right to appeal to
the District Court. The defendants,
we understand, will appeal. and see
whether or not the court above will
sustain the Judgment already rendered.
The chief defense put forth, If We are
not mislnformed, is the alleged fact that
the book ns published docs not come up
to the representations as to what it was
to be, and to the further fact that the
subscriptions in question were made to
the "Nlinnesota Historical Co." and not
to the "North Star Publishing Co."
That the case on both sides was ably
handled by Judge Brown and w. L.
Coon for plaintiffs and Freeman s. Pfau
and Daniel Buck for defendants, goes
without saying, and the sharp witicisms
on both sides illustrated the old axiom
that "when Greek meets Greek, then
comes the tug of war;"
Thus far the book men are ahead, but
1--WE shall see what we shall see" at the
next term of District Court.

Important to Some.

The lands which have been in dispute
since 1880 in the Southern part of this
State between the st. Paul q Sioux CITY
and Southern Minnesota railroad com
panics, have, we understand, been decid-
ed to belong to the first named company.
These lands consist of odd numbered
sections in Mobiles, Murray, Rock and
Pipcstonc counties, and were claimed
by the st. Paul j. Sioux City railway
as having been granted by acts of Con
gress passed in 1857 and 1854 for their
line of road. The lands were conveyed
by the United States to this State, and
again by the State to the st. p. Il S. G.
and S. c. IL st. p. railroads. The
Southern Minnesota railway company
commenced this action against the st.
p. Il S. G. companies to recover the
lands, claiming them to have been
granted to the plaintiff by an act of
Congress in 1866. The case was brought
before Judge ID. A. Dickinson, while he
WAS District Judge, but when he was
transferred to the Supreme Court, he
was of course, debarred from further
hearing of the suit. Both parties subse
quently agreed to leave the decision to
him as referee, with the result us above.
The superstition is that an appeal will
be taken To the Supreme Court and
from there 10 the United States Supreme
Court.
The matter will he of importance t.
those who are occupying any of ths
lands included in the above tract.

I went down into the pit, and could
look into the mine 100 feet or more. 1t
was at white heat, the coal hanging
in acknowledged Jumps from the roof,
all glowing with terrible heat and emit
ting strong sulphurous Odor.
The grass improves as We get away
from the river, being longer, but there
are so many Duties that judge it would
take ten acres to feed steer one year in
good shape. l saw six black.tail deer
and one elk shot while was there, and
they were all fat, the elk dressing 700
pounds. This is paradise for hunters
and curiosity seekers. There is u forest
of petriied wood ten miles north of the
station. Sir John Rose, of London,
stopped there with his special train one
day, and left greatly pleased with the
novel sights. W. o. Rodgers is the
agent there, and Frank Moore is land
lord of the Park House, and they are
doing all they can to make it pleasant
for visitors.

went into u mine that was being
worked, some 300 yards. Miners get
$3.50 per ton tor digging it, and they
make 500 per month, but there is No
for labOreis, as but few men are
required to supply all the coal the rail
road wants. II. &. HOWARD.

Attention All!

To the Citizens of Blue Earth County,
The time for the holding of the
State Fair at Rochester is fast ap.
preaching, and as far as is known to
the writer, nothing has been done
in the county towards making an ex-
hibit. 1t is a matter of surprise to
prominent men in other parts of the
State, who speak of "Blue Earth
County as having more natural adj.
vantages than any other county in
the State" that her citizens are not
doing ANYTHING to show the county's
wonderful resources, at this Fair.
There must be some public spirited
citizens who are capable of taking
the lead in movement to provide
for a creditable exhibit. Cannot
some two persons of pleasing address
be found who are willing to attend
the Fair, and arrange and take charge
of the exhibits. The w. & st. =.
Il. r. Co., will furnish passes for two
persons to and from Rochester, and
will take all samples of product etc,
without any charge. If we care at
all for our county. we ought to 60 to
work Immediately. We lido not want
to delay a moment" Surely this
county ought to he able to make a
splendid exhibit. Our crops are ex.
cellent, there are no better In the
Northwest, besides we have superior
building stone, cement stone, pottery
ware. the finest -four i'm the world
from our big mill, linseed oil. plows
wagons &C., sc. Why cannot al
these, and much more be exhibited
If you are connected with the Board
of Trade at Mankato. stir up the mat
ter. If yOn are connected with the
County Agricultural Society, raisi
your voice ut it's sessions. Let thu
Farmers County Alliance take i'm
mediate steps i'm this same direction
Some of you can help now who have
allowed others tO.have the brnnt o
the labor in helping on this section t,
prosperous times. Don't hold back
but push the right men forward, ant
then crowd on your exhibits.

Beware Of Barbsd Wire Fences.

We have heard of various accidents
resulting from too close a contact with
barbed wire fences, some of them more
or less serious, but we never before
heard of so serious, and yet ludicrous.
an accident as occurred near this place
last Tuesday. Omitting names of par
Elephants, out OF respect for their native
modesty, We will freely give the details.
While one of our citizens was driving
home from st. Peter upon the day above
mentioned his revcries We're startled by
hearing loud cries of apparent distress
issuing from an adjoining field.
Promptly obeying the summons, he tied
his horse and rushed Tor the scene with
no weapon of defense but a jack knife
He soon discovered the object of his
search suspended from the topmost
wire of barbed wire fence. He at
first supposed il was some animal which
had accidentally become entangled, but
upon approaching nearer, the object
gave vent to an emphatic appeal for
help Of: "Mein Colt! Mein Gott who vas
mein friendtw Then our citizen knew
it was a human being, and closer in
spection proved it to be man weigh
ing over 200 pounds, who had attempt
ed to climb over the fence, and by some
means had caught the largest part of
his pantaloons upon the barbs, and with
head and hands on the ground was try
ing to extricatc himself, and the more
he wiggled the closer lie was held.
When our citizen had sufficient con.
troll of his emotions he attempted to re-
lease the unfortunate fellow, but it was
done only by cutting his suspenders and
allowing the man to crawl out of his
predicament, and then, wiping his heat.
ed face with wisp of grass, he thanked
his deliverer and said: "If you vas not
come l vas soon gone deaf nit dis
tress." That man will beware of
barbed wire fences hereafter.

DIR. SLADE.
The World Renowned spiritualist Coming
to Mankato to Give an Exhibition of
His Celestial Oronies.
NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT

Speaking of DIR. Slade, who will ap.
pear at Union Hall, Sunday night, Aug,
~, the Philadelphia Prss, gives some
idea of DR.. Slade, by stating that PROS
ably no spirit seance or circle ever held
in that city created the widespread inter
est that has already manifested itself
regarding the advent of the noted DR..
Slade. The world over Inc is known
and regarded by spiritualists, at least,
as medium Of the most .nced type.
Skeptics regard him as tile shrewdest
and most graceful member of his pro-
fessiOn, and his seances are noted for the
neatness and cleverness with which he
handles various subjects. 1t further
says That the wonderful things he ad-
vertises to take place in his presence
will hardly admit of doubt. The
prominent newspapers throughout the
country, as we'll as England, Germany
and France, bear witness to this fact.
Curiosity, and not belief, in our opinion,
Is the motive that attracts the majority
of his audience, but whether the spirit
assists him is matter for spiritualists
to decide. He will be assisted Sunday
night at the UniQn Hall by number of
other we'll known mediums, developed
for the express purpose Of producing
manifestations in bright light. He will
produce his famous London light seance,
as represented by him before her
majesty, the Queen, Prince Of Wales,
and members OF the royal household at
Balmoral, Sept. 8, 1866. A table rises
three Or four feet and floats in mid-air.
Spirit hands and faces be plainly seen
and recognized by friends. A guitar is
played and passed around the room by
the invisible power. Flowers are
brought and passed to the audience
plainly seen. Bells are rung, harps are
played and other tests of startling ma.
ture take place in the presence Of these
wonderful mediums. 4 spirit band
will appear in bright light and write
messages addressed tn persons In the
audience, A small admittance fee will
be charged.
