A SAD DIVORCE CASE.
AYOuns Mother and Her Baby Left
to- Staryc.


Before Judge Lochren yesterday a con-
sinuance was taken in the divorce case of
Mary Skjelbuster against Knute Skjel-
buster, in which she sought to secure di-
vorce on the grounds of cruelty and deser-
tion, in order to give the judge an oppor-
tunity of looking up the case. The plain
tiff was nice-lCoking young Norwegian
girl, and the story of her desertion is a sad
one She was married to SkiebuSter in
1854, and shortly after the birth of her child
he deserted her. leaving her without cent
i'll the world. She took the little one to the
Chldren'S home and sought work, but
while she was so doing she was informed
that her baby was dying. She took it and
attempted to care for it while she was on
the verge of starvation herself. Rev. Mr..
Eistensein. pastor of the Hauge church,
provided the woman with funds from the
church and then sent her to the supervisors
OF the poor, VINO aided her. The young
woman is at present supporting herself and
baby by doing sewing. Her husband, who
is III the city, contributes nothing toward
her support.

Silver lake and wholly under water

Silver lake and wholly under water. In
his decision Judge Lochren says:
There Is abundant evidence that the de-
fendant stated to the plaintiff that he knew
the location Of the lots and that they were
high and dry; also that he went with her,rep-
resenting that he knew the location OF the
lots, and pointed out to her the lots she was
negotiating for lots which were two blocks
distant from the lots which were being nego-
tiated for, the lots so pointed out being high
and dry, as represented, while the lots nego-
tiated for lay in lake covered with water,
and were of little or no value. 1t appears to
me that the representations of the defendant
were false: that is, that they were not true
in fact. But to make the defendant liable,
his representations must not only have been
false. but fraudulent as well. They must
have been intentionally false, and made for
the purpose of deception or without any be-
lief in the truth If the defendant, upon
grounds which might fairly be the basis of
real and honest belief, did believe he knew
the location of the lots which the plaintiff was
negotiating for, and could find them upon
the ground and that they were high and dry
aud were the lots shown by him to the piant-
If, he is not liable even though mistaken and
though the plaintiff was thereby misled, to
her damage. Besides the direct testimony of
the defendant there was other evidence in
the case tending to show that the defendant
had reasonable grounds for believing his rep
reservations were true. The evidence fails to
show any sufficient motive to induce the de-
PENDANT to commit such a fraud as he is
charged with 1t is ordered that the verdict
OF the jury in favor Of the plaintiff be vacated
and that new trial be granted.

for the rings on his fingers. Levy was a
good deal like him, only, little more sub
dued, and they run the crack livery stable
of the town. Deshen's son didn't go to
school, but he used to ride around to school
on pony during recess so as to
make the other boys jealous. He
died few years ago and was
waiter in Pat Connelly's variety show
at st. Paul. Old Deshen busted
up completely and then started up pawn
brokers' shop-kind of funny thing for
him to do. He was too good hearted an
would lend money on any kind of security
to people that were hard up Finally he
started to go to Chicago. When he went.
Jake Barge gave him pint bottle of
whisky. He got on to the train an was
jes' going to take drink when
he thought This stnff was the
cause of my losin' my troubles
an he fired the bottle out of the window
and | don't beliepe has ever taken drink
since. He never caught On again. The paper
was tellin' you about says he is workin' in
alivery stable. That's where their history is
wrong again. He's been up to Bismarck
DOM something but it wasn't workin' in
livery stable. He's right here in the city
to-day. 1 see him at the Nicolet and he
said he came back to look
for something he had lost. He was two
generous when he had money, an give
away more than some people have hay.
Charlie Levy is sellin' pools on snide boss
races an l saw him here the other day.
He had on suit of readymade clothes an
looked mighty tough.
Charlie Moore and Earl Goodrich used
to do commission business at the old Acad-
envy of Music. Goodrich was
a high-fiyer. He went through
his stuff, too. He afterwards went crazy,
and when he was locked up in the cellar he
sawed through a partition and got to the
wine Then he came upstairs where they
were holding party. He slid around an
got in a 5ay-window. He met nice lady,
introduced himself. and they were havin' a
great time talkin' art music an SIGH stuff
when the folks found him.
''Well, I've got to go. Much obliged to
you for lstenin'. I jes' thought I'd drop in
an kind of correct some of the mistakes
you newspaper fellers make"

Mounted Sword Combafs.

The mounted sword combat between
Duncan c. Ross and Sergt. Charles Walsh
clearly failed to give satisfaction last Thurs
day. This is. particularly true of the after
noon exhibition or combat, or whatever you
choose to call it. In the evening the men
fought with more spirit and several of the
encounters created some excite
meut. 1t is certainly essential
that the horses should be trained to some
degree of proficiency, SO that the riders can
get near enough to each other to do some
fencing. The mounted police of Manitoba
have sword contests that are said to be
really exciting and interesting, in which
the horses seem to take almost as active
part as the riders. On the whole, the Ross
Walsh combats are decidedly too tame
Another combat is to take place this
afternoon at Calhoun park, but number
of features have been added which will
probably prove interesting. There is to be
100 yards handicap foot race, club swing
ing, rifle shooting, throwing of weights,
tossing of the caber, ETC. The entries for
the foot race are: B. Ringel, H. Watson,
Lewis West, John Grant, Tom Kirk, E.. w.
Moulton and B. Wallace.
j. L. Morgan of ST. Paul challenges
Duncan c. Ross to meet Capt. A. L. Riches
in mounted sword combat for $500 a
side. The contest to take place in thirty
days. Ross replies that it will be impossi-
bic for him to wait that long, but if Mr..
Morgan or the captain are sincere, he will
meet them at Lake Calhoun to-day, and
will wager IS, 900 that he can defeat the
CAPTAIN or anyone else.

ANEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Peculiar Methods of Real Estate
Agents 10 be Looked IntO.

In the district court yesterday decision
was filed by Judge Lochren in the real
estate suit of Margaret b. Tufford against
Jerome B. Tabour. The case is peculiar
sne. and demonstrates the fact that certain
real estate men have odd methods of con-
Quoting their business. In her complaint
Mrs. Tufford alleged that Mr.. Tabour. rep
resenting that he was the agent for the sale
of certain property, made false and fraudu-
lent statements in regard to the location of
the same, and that, relying on his state
ments, she was induced to exchange certain
personal property for this land. She de-
clared that the property she obtained pos
session of was not the property specified by
Mr. Tabour. the land coming into her pos
session bSing situated near the center of

STILL AN EXPERIMENT..
The Changes in tho Ventilation OF
School HomSes PrOGreSSeS Slowly


afternoon with President Oftedal in the
chair to hear the report of the building COM
mittee upon the ventilation question Mr..
Austin from the committee reported that
six proposals had been received for furnish
ing the tin and sheet iron work for the venti
lation of school houses. None of the bids
were made for the work as a whole and the
committee had found it impossible under
the circumstances to determine which was
the lowest
AN EPIsTLE FROM ST. PAUL.
A communication from the E. f. Os-
borne Steam Heating company of St. Paul
was read and referred to the building COM
mittee. l was short and sweet, and Gre
ated some amusement 1t read:
L should like TO submit plans and specifica-
tiOuS for heating and Ventilating one or more
of your school buildings, based upon the ac-
complishment OF certain results, as l under
stand your present systems are failures, both
theoretically and practically.
Eff. OSBORNE.
Prof Oftedal suggested that the board
should first decide upon what buildings it
should ventiIate. Mr.. Nelson suggested
the high school, Emerson Horace, Mann.
Marcy. Hawthorne, Howard and Adams.
Mai. Hale said the number should be lin
tied to four. The system adopted was yet
an experiment. The question of expense
did not make him hesitate. for after the
clamor that had been raised about the coll
dition of the school houses the
people of Minneapolis should not
stop at any expense The fear that the
system might be failure made him think
that the number of buildings should be
small. He amended Mr.. Nelson's motion
by limiting the buildings to the Horace
Mann. Adams, Winthrop and Holland. Mr.
Ankeny was disappointed at the form of
the bids. Either the bidders did not know
how or did not care to do the work He
was afraid the board was getting back to
the place from which it started. MI. Mel
son accepted Maj. Halls amendment, and
it carried. Upon motion of Maj. Hail, the
building committee was instructed to ask
for bids for doing the different classes of
work in connection with the proposed
changes in heating and ventilation, the bids
to be submitted by Wednesday, and to
state explicitly in one sum the price for the
whole work. The board then adjourned to
meet Thursday afternoon.

Orr,s VindicatiOn.

James A Orr, the Republican eandi.
date for Clerk of the Supreme Ccurs--
the same who guards an unsavory
"private record" with a shotgun-is
circulating throughout the State hand
bill containing so-called vlndication.
The Examiner published creditable
copy of the report of the Plumas county
grand jury, rendered last November,
charging Orr, who is Clerk OF the
county, with neglecting to account for
fees and not keeping his books in
accordance with law. Orr's handbill
states, in exculpatiop, that the grand
iurv made mistake of Sl7l in stat
ing the amount of fees that Orr had
failed to pay into the county treasury,
and that since the report was rendered
he has paid up the amount OF his de-
ficiency. The Grand Jury's charge that
he had not kept his books in accord
ance with law is ignored entirely.
1t will be observed that Orr presents
no legal proof that he has paid in his
deficiency. Even if he has paid it in,
how much better light does it place him
| in? An officer who withholds fees and
only makes restitution when a grand
jury calls attention to his malfeasance
is not fit man to trust in still more
responsible office. Not keeping his
books as the law directs should furnish
cause enough to insure his defeat, no
matter whether 1t is due to his incom-
potency, negligence or dishonesty

ARepubIican's Opinion. /.

We commend the nomination of
Joseph d. Lynch for Congress by the
Democrats OF the sixth Congressional
District to all voters in said district, re.
gardless of politics. 1t is the best nomi.
nation made by either party. 1t is the
presentation of intelligence instead Of
politics at last; and great gamers will the
people of the 9th district be, if they see
to it that Mr.. Lynch is elected. The
nominee is an educated man, and thor.
ough Californian, and has done more for
Southern California with his pen, then
any ten men in his district. We trust
that Monterey County will do its duty
and send Mr.. Lynch away ahead of his
ticket. We are proud to admit thai
the writer, although Republican, viii
vote for, and work for Mr.. Lyach with
his might. The one superior thing about
Mr.. Lynch is that he is no demagogue,
and that he fearlessly performs what he
believes to be right, and that he is gen
erally right. Del Monte Wave.

HARDLY Fair.

A New York paper, through its Wash.
ington correspondent, 6evotes consider
able space to the alleged operations OF a
real estate ring composed in part of
Democratic officials who are said to have
fixed upon the locality in which Presi-
dent Cleveland has purchased a country
real estate. The Washington cores
pondent says it is not necessary to share
the belief of many persons, that Cleve-
land become owner of Red Top without
paying S2l, 500 for it," "Even," con-
tinues the correspondent, eff he did ao-
cept the place as gift, as so many per-
sons assert and believe, there was moth
ing unlawful in the transaction, how
ever sharply the propriety of it may be
fairly criticized" Since MIR. Cleveland
became President he has scrupulously
avoided line of conduct which might
serve as basis for such ungenerous col-
clusons. He has returned presents OF
all kinds, sometimes at considerable ex-
pense TO himself, that the acceptance OF
one might not make the rejection of an
other more difficult. Whatever may be
hisfaults of character or errors OF policy,
he has been self-respecting in thisrespect,
Every newspaper man in Washington
knows that it is simply impossible for
Mr.. Cleveland to have accepted "Red
Top" as a present. To have done so
would have belied the whole course OF
bis official life. The negative style in
which the insinuation is urged may save
the paper from libel suit, but it does
not relieve it of its unmanly character.

The Democrats have a majority of
forty three over the Republicans in the
present House. To secure working Re-
publican majority in the next House
would require a political tidal wave.
We can descry no tidal wave in the dis.
tance. From present appearances. if the
Republicans can manage to hold their
own, it is about as much as can be ex.
pected. The efforts to destroy the Re-
publican party have been of late quite
many, though puny in their nature.
The Mugmumps IN the East Knocked a
chip off It. The Prohibitionists have been
doing all they can to weaken it. The
American notion, at least in this State,
is cutting into it. There is visible in all
this more of an ebb tide than tidal
wave. The disintegration that is going
on resembles very much that which pre-
ceded the dissolution of the old Wing
party. There was an effort at that time
to load that venerable and respectable
organization with all the isms of the day.
The result was the enforcement of the
Democracy for a period that was only
terminated by the political defeat that
Immediately preceded the Rebellion.
