WAsEcA, Mimi, June 29.-A man
claiming to be a Methodist minister.
Rev. E. E. Thompson by name, claim
ing to have come from the South, ar
rived in GAINESVILLE, this county, recently,
and represented to the people there that
he was the owner of 600 acres of land
near Clev elard, which is small inland
town some miles north of GAINESVILLE;
that he had purchased the land three
years ago and that it had greatly
increased In value since his
purchase, and that he was
up here for the purpose
of fencing and erecting dwelling
thereon and otherwise improving it. He
made trips to Winona, as he claimed,
for the purpose of buying lumber for his
proposed Improvements. During his
stay at GAINESVILLE he preached several
times in the Methodist Episcopal
church, and by being a fine talker and
with his seeming piety, he made good
impression ON the regular minister and
devout church members. While at
GAINESVILLE he met the presiding elder
of the church, who lives at Mankato,
and who also became impressed with
the fellow. A few days ago he went to
Mankato and called on the presiding
elder and got him to go with him to the
First National bank, and there identify
him so that he could get New York
draft, which he had for $1,000, cashed.
With the elders Identification he
received on said draft $1,000 cash
and a deposit check for $4,000.
Since receiving the money nothing has
been heard from Thompson, and on in
vestigation it was learned that the draft
was a fraud. Later developments show
him to have been the owner of no land
anywhere in this vicinity. Search will
be made for him.

PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN
Organized--Candi for Dele

Observation-Disclosures for Dele
gate Nominated and Over 2O,OOO
Votes Expected.
Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, June 29.-The nomination
of S. FL. Cranmer by the Prohibition
party, assembled here, is an event of
the greatest possible significance. The
assembly met under call designating
it the Prohibition convention for South
Dakota, but it speedily resolved itself
into territorial convention. Owing to
lack of publication hardly dozen cOun-
ties were represented, but there is no
reason to suppose that the faithful
throughout the territory will not rally
to the support of the nominee, inaSmuch
as he personally cuts no figure in the
campaign. AT the evening session Wal
ter L. Mills, national organizer for the
party, addressed the convention and an
audience which packed the court house.
He is an able, fearless and convincing
talker, with many of the elements of a
successful stumper. He presented in a
most forcible way the desirability and
necessity of
A THIRD PARTY.
laying the foundation for such an organ
iZatiOn on broader basis and present
ing wider field for its action than any
of his class who have yet talked in
these parts. Prohibition with him is an
end, but it is means as well. The
determination of the SectionS-impossi-
bic while the two dominant parties exist
will be brought about by presenting
an issue upon which the good men
North and South are now working in
harmony. The race line in the South
will be obliterated by getting the wheat
and the chatf among both blacks and
whites into the opposing parties. The
tariff, municipal reform and other
great questions will be settled by unit
ing all good people against the vicious
drinking purchaSable vote.
At the close of the meeting $500 was
subscribed toward campaign fund
and placed at the disposal of the terri
tOrial committee elected at the after
noon session. This county and Beadle
led off with 500 apiece. Aavigorous
campaign will be inaugurated at once.
A conservative estimate cannot place
the number of votes they will poll at
less than 10000. In 1886 the Demo-
Gratis reduced the Republican majority
from $4,000 to $4,000. The Prohibition
vote will be taken almost to a man
from this column. If the Democrats
will do little of the work accomplished
in the last campaign, their candidate is
elected. and if he isn't elected, some
one will be to blame.

ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT.
Prominent Lumber Dealer
Gives up to His Creditors.

E. T. Sumwalt, the lumber dealer, has
assigned to his lawyer, Samuel E. Hall.
The cause of the failure was an attach
ment by Clarks & Burrows. Mr.. Sumwalt
has been in the lumber trade in this city
for about four years. He was promi-
nent member of the chamber of COM
merce, and was on several important
committees. His wealth has been
varloUsly estimated from $4,000 to
100000, but statement of his
assets and liabilities allows him
about $1,000 assets and about
$4,000 liabilities. 1t is thought in bust
ness circles that the Bohn Manufacture
ing, st. Croix and John Martin Lumber
companies, and one or two Minneapolis
firms are his creditors to some extent.
Mr.. Sumwalt has recently been asso-
ciated with Charles 81. Davidge in real

lynching of two colored men by mob
of Chetopah citizens, Tuesday night, is
composed of four white and eight col

that the verdict should say that the
lynched men came to their death "by
violence at the hands of parties UNI
KNOWN" while the cOlored jurors say
that the names of over one hundred
of the mob are known, and want the
verdict to charge them with the crime,
and refused to consent to a verdict
otherwise. Both sides are firm and it
is probable that a majority and minority
verdict will be rendered, as the law
does not provide for hung coroner's

Its worth that if it's worth cent" "Well, $25 it'll have to be then" said the first speaker, "but I suppose they'll kick on the price like steers" "Then charge them $50 and come down s25," quoth young sapience 'then they'll think you're the cleverest fel- low going" "Theres another way of look ing at it, though" said the charger. II once came down in my price to man and I think he thought I had intended to rob him by overcharging and l lost his patronage. He goes to somebody else now" As I listened to this conversation, which was not private one, reflected what queer fellows lawyers arc and how easy they earn their money when they do earn it. As young lawyer once said to me, $500 seems big fee, but if you only get it once year you'll find your elbow coming through your coat sleeves"- Buffalo News
