Aired in CouTt--An Unwilling Pur'
chaser OF Mica Stock.
Another of the suits connected with the
White Spar mica litigation was tried yes
terday before Judge Koon in the district
court. The action was brought by L. ,.
Kelly against NJ. Gallagher 10 recover S230
and interest on a pTomissory note. The
defense sought to avoid payment on the
ground of misrepresentation ana claimed
that the plaintiff and one Olmstead had
represented that they owned PIG shares, or
"a per cent. of the capital stock; that the
board OF directors had declared the stock to
be paid ND and worcestershire, and that
there was then on hand at the mine near
Custer. Oak. ST. 400 worth of mica. Be
lieving these statements, the defendant paid
$500 in cash. and gave four notes for 81, 040;
he also assigned his stock to Olmstead to
enable him to dispose of same as part of the
pretended capital stock. This was done
with the understanding that Olmstead should
return the stock whenever requested by
the defendant. This, it was claimed, Ohm
stead has refused to do, and further, that
the directors did not comply with the regu-
lationS of the articles of incorporation when
they declared the stock paid up; also that
there was only on hand 500 worth of
mica, and the company was in debt to the
amount of $3.50, instead of being in pros
porous condition. The defendant further
claimed that he offered to surrender MS
stock if his notes would be returned, but
this was also refused.
The trial of the case occupied the greater
portion of the day. and the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount
claimed

entertainments. but immeasurably superior

wrestling match at Market hall this even

cannon is prime favorite and that betting
is largely in his favor, but a friend Of
Moth went hunting last night with a
goodly roll Of bills looking for the men who
wanted to give odds in favor of Cannon. but
he failed to ind any such. The enthusiast
tic hacker of Cannon is, therefore. thought

mentioned had no trouble in making bets

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
A Restaurant Waiter Who Thought
the Judgment Day Had Come.

Eugene Luce is waiter in the Metro
politan restaurant who, by investing his
savings, has become a property-owner on a
small scale. Recently he sold lot in
South Minneapolis, and when the pur-
chaser came to look the title up it was dis
covered that the real estate was buried out
of sight by judgment of $4,000. There
was some mistake evidently, and investiga-
ton yesterday revealed the fact that the
Judgment was against Eugene E. Luce, an
attorney at Wadena who did some banking
at Perham and other places in the upper
country about two years ago. The diff
Guilty was arranged by the means of aft
davits as to the identity of the Minneapolis
Luce. who. when he recovered from his as
constituent was rather tlckled to think that
he had been thought to have owed any one
so large an amount.
If I had supposed people thought I
owed anyone $1,000" said Gene, regret
fully. last evening, I'D have tried to put on
little more style and appear as though l

had been raised in the lap of luxury and

DREAM DISPELLED.
A Lot on the Heights Worth Two
in the Park.


In Judge Rooms court the suit of Clara
A. Jones against William T. Heichert and
George S. MaXon to recover 50, $50 is now
on trial. The action grows out of rather
unusual real estate deal. According to the
plaintiffs side of the case that was yester-
day given to the jury, the plaintiff resided
in st. Paul. and authorized her husband to
exchange a certain stock of jeWelry for
Minneapolis real estate. The latter claims
that w. T. Heichert, as agent for Maxon;
showed him lots IA, Is, 90, Of block B. For
est Heights addition, which were covered
with trees and fronted south, two of the
lots being corner lots. After the exchange
the discovery was made that the real estate
conveyed in the deed was lots s, 9 and Il,
block 5, Forest park. As the lots on the
heights are worth $4,000, and the lots in
the park only $3.50, and as two of the latter
are not corner lots, do not face south, and
are minus shade trees. the plaintiff seeks TO
recover the consideration paid for the prop
erty. In this connection it is claimed that
Maxon did not really own the lots and
could not give good title to them.

A Philadelphia book agent importuned
James Watson, rich and close New York
man, living out at Elizabeth, until he bought
book-the Early Christian Martyrs.
Mr. Watson didn't want the book, but he
bought it to get rid of the agent; then, tax
ing it under his arm, he started for the
train which takes him to his New ork Of
fee.
Mr.. Watson hadn't been long gone before
Mrs. Watson came home from neighbours.
The book agent saw her and went in and
persuaded the wife to buy another copy of
the same book. She was ignorant Of the
fact that her husband had bought the same
book in the morning. When Mr.. Watson
came back from New York at night Mrs.
Watson showed him the book.
Il don't want to see it," said Watson,
frowning terribly.
'FWhy, husband?" asked his wife.

agent making for the train.

Just then Mr.. Stevens. neighbor of Mr..
Watson, drove by. when Watson poinded on
the glass in frantic manner almost fright
ening the horse.

hitched up; won't you run your hors e dow
to the train and hold that book agent till
come? Run! Catch i'm now"
''AlI right" said Mr.. Stevens, whipping
up his horse and tearing down the road.

conductor shouted. ..All aboardr'

agent stepped on the train. Book agent!

peated the seemingly puzzled book agent.
''Oh. I know what he wants! he wants to
buy one of my books: but can't miss the
train to sell it to him.
''If that is all he wants." said Mr.. Ste
vens driving up to the car window, Il can
pay for it and take it back to him. How
much is it?"
Two dollars for the Early Christian
Martyrs, said the book agent, as he reached
for the money and passed the book out
through the car window.
Just then Mr.. Watson arrived, putting
and blowing, in his shirt sleeves. As he
saw the train pull out he was too full for
utterance.
