Said he: IF my practice would permit, 1

Delegate Ed Donahoe, who left the hall,
when defeated was one of the men who tried
in vain to get up the feeling against Col
Glenn. 1t serves him right. The Democracy
of Hennepin has no time, just now, to fight

George Hopkins Exchanges Real
Estate and Goods for Mining Stock

George Hopkins has begun an action IN
the district court against Robert w. Barto.
Edward Stuart and Edward Kent, to re-
cover 81, 900. He alleges that on JAM H.
1886, the defendants came to him and pro-
posed to sell him number OF shares or
the International Mining, Smelling ana
Manufacturing company. They represented
the company as in prosperous condition
and returning large profits to the stock
holders. Mr.. Hopkins listened to the voice
of the charmer. and finally made over to
them certain real estate and half interest
in stock of goods he owned. The trans
fer was made on the Goth day Of February.
He soon found out that the 400 shares OF
stock in the International Mining, Smelt-
ing and Manufacturing company he had
received for his land and goods were not
worth the paper they were printed on. ana
he now declares that the defendants knew
it all the time, and made false statements
to him to get him to invest. The land ne
made over to the defendants was worth
So. 200 and the goods $500.
