. Considerable excitement was occasion
Ell at Aberdeen, D.. IT,, by the lou
ment that eight s~aloonkeepers and two
druggists had been arrested for violations
of the local option law in force in that
city. The complaints were made by sew
eral parties employed, it is claimed, by

dence. Saloon men who have been selling
liquor for two months past under p%retense
of keeping pool rooms and temperance
places, charge that various pretenses were
used to procure drinks by informers.

ing affair at Mason City, To-, made known
their verdict which concludes as follows:
The said jury upon their oath do say that
the said Hiram L. Brown came to his

ally placed in his food or drink by some
person unknown, but the said jury are led
to suspect from the evidence before them
that H. e. Brown is guilty OF the deed"

will be made. The matter will be investi-
gated again by the grand jury, which con-
venes in September. Mrs. HI. e. Brown

Hon.. Peter Wright of Milwaukee, an at
torney for the heirs OF Mai. Hooe, U. s. A.,
who was well known to the early settlers
OF st. Paul, and who died at Prairie du
Chen more than thirty years ago, has
the heirs to recover for them property
left by him at Prairie du Chen, Madison
and other places. 1t seems that Maj,
Hooe left his will giving all his property
to his widow Tor life. with directi ons that
at her death it should go to their children.
She, however, overlooking the coalitions
of the will, made absolute conveyances,
and the property for the most part being
of small value at that early day, purchas.
ers gave little attention to the question of
title. The widow died a short time ago,
n the heirs now seek to recover the
property, on the ground that her life inter-
est having terminated they are entitled to
it. The property involved in the claim is
said to amount in value at present to
about $500 200. @~ .
