THE NEW ST TIE PRISON
Will BE Urgently Invited to Lo-
cate at Little Falls.
PUBLIC MEETING ro-N1GHT.

PUBLIC MEETING TONIGHT.
AS is well known, q commis sion was
appointed by the legislature last win
ter to select a location for q second
state prison for Minnesota. The Conn
inissioners have just issued card stat
ing that they "will meet at the Capt.
tol, in the city of st. Paul, on August
4, 1885, at II o'clock q. m, for the
transaction of business. The commits
sioners request that al! localities or in
diyiduals interested may Harvard spec
linens of stone, cut and uncut; also
proposals for the sale or donation Of a
site for the prison, which must not
contain less 9han 40 acres. All parties
interested are invited to be present on
the day named" ,~.. ~ .s
It must be located at stone quarry.
An energetic attempt will be made by
the citizens Of Little Falls to present
their claims in the best shape possible,
and efforts to secure the location Of the
institution at this place bid fair to sue
coed. M. M. Williams of St. Paul owns
an excellent granite quarry short
distance west of the village, and he
offers to donate to the state all the
land necessary if the prison is located
there. The expenses Of properly pre-
senting the claims before the counts
sion, of preparing the specimens Of
stone, of clearing the ground at the
quarry 50 as to demonstrate the extent
Of the deposit, Of sending representa-
tives to st. Paul, and of properly en-
PERTAINING the members of the commit
tee if they come here, must be borne
by our citizens.
A petition was circulated yesterday
asking that Mayor Medved call pub
lie meeting of the property owners to
take actioe in the matter, and in com.
pliance Mr.. Medved has called pub
lie meeting to be held at the court
house this evening at s o'clock. A full
attendance is earnestly requested, and
the the matter will be discussed and
the preliminary steps taken toward
attempting to secure favorable action
by the committee. The committee
consists of VIM. Crooks of St. Paul, J.
S. Pillsbury of St. Paul, A. McCrea of
Perham, and two gentlemen from the
southern part of the state. Little Falls
certainly has no reason to complain of
the formation of the committee. -:
Don't fail to attend the meeting this
evening.

Bro. WaltOn'S Trial.
From the Vadepa Farmer,

From the Wadena Farmer.
The jury that went out Thursday
noon on the case of State Of Minneso-
ia vs.. John Walton, came in Friday
afternoon with verdict of guilty. AS
we have previously stated, the Rev.
John Walton, pastor Of the NJ. E.
church at this place, was indicted by
the grand jury for committing rape on
Miss Hattie Webster. q girl about
twelve or thirteen years old. 1t APP
pears by the evidence given in court
that the girl was county charge, and
that some time last winter Mr.. Walton
took her toahis house in WadeAa, stat
ing at the time that he would take care
of her and treat her as we'll as his own
children. The girl claims that the
offence for which he was indicted was
committed several times, and that each
time she tainted and became powerless
to make any resistance. She stated
that the first time that he made the at
tempt was at. the time that Mrs. Wal
toni was sick and that she was sleeping
in4he same room, there being two
be il in the room. When she FIRST dis
covered Mr.. Walton near her he
clapped his hand ON her mouth and
she then tainted or rather sank into a
stupor, she being conscious all the
time but unable to make any resist
ence. Mr.. Walton denied everything
except that he was at home that night.
The girls testimony was given in an
open frank manner, and the attorneys
we're unable to tangle her up in the
least. The defense tried to make ont
that the girl was insane, or rather Ia
boring under an illusion, but the man
ner in which she appeared on the wit
ness stand did not appear much like
that of a lunatic, and the insanity plea
fell to the ground. We believe that
the verdict is justsone. The defense
stated that they wished to make mo-
ton for new trial, on the grounds
that new evidence very material had
been discovered. They accused some
of the jurymen of misconduct, ETC.,
ETC., and asked that a time he set for
arguing motion for new trial. The
Judge fixed the time for hearing such
motion at the adjourned term of court
to be held at Wadena commencing
July q. The prisoner is now under
81, 500 bonds. His bondsmen are A.
Langley, P. Brate, and B. Waite. We
believe, from what we can learn, that
an honester and more candid jury
never set in jury box. They care
fully weighed all the evidence, DELHI
Grated upon it, took plenty of time,
never asking to come in until they had
formed verdict, and they brought in
their verdict as they had formed it to
the best of their ability. We do not
believe that sufficient grounds for
new trial can be produced.

and it should be stopped at once, and that
is practice carried on by the drivers OF

annoying 10 persons coming from the
trains, running, grabbing and pulling at
them to get into their stages. have
heard several complaints within the last
few days. | had the views of the agent
about it, and he tells me it is forbidden
by the railroad authorities. They say
they shall not touch passengers to in
ducc them to ride, neither shall they get
on the platform of the cars to look for
passengers. He has frequently warned
them, but without avail lie thinks il it
is not stopped, the stages will be kept
from the platform entirely until after the
train has LEFT. Why not let each man
stand at his stage door, and let passengers
choose for themselves. would not ride
with man that would pull and haul at
me and try to force me to ride with him.
Such conduct is ungentlemanly.
