Canning Industry.
CURIOUS TURN IN A CASE
The Towns in Favor OF Issuing Bonds
for New Town
Hall.

A movement toward the establish
ment here of the canning industry was
inaugurated Tuesday evening at meet
ing OF certain business men held at the
Office of the Minnesota Mercantile COM
pany, when gentleman who is al
ready at the head of similar
concern in the southern part of the
state made propositions regarding the
formation of a stock company for the
purpose of canning sweet corn and to-
matoes, principally corn. 1t was pro-
posed that the capital invested it in the
plant should be $4,000, of which the
gentleman referred to agreed to con-
tribute one-third. The scheme was
talked over at length and was, in gen.
eral way, regarded favOrably by those
present. who were T. M. Prince,
j. G. O'Gorman, j. FL. Harper,
j. A. Deragisch, A. G. Triebel,
and G. M. McCluer. The propositions
submitted, however, on the part of the
visitors were somewhat indefinite, nee
essarily, and decided action in the mat
ter waits on written communication
to be made by the canning factory man
to Mr.. Prince, particulariZing as to GER
tain points. And in the meantime,
also, Information is to be sought as to
whether the soil hereabOuts is of that
light and quick character essential to
the successful cultivation of sweet corn
in this latitude. The plant to be estab-
lished would include, besides the fac
tory proper, more substantial build
ing for storage purposes. During the
canning season from rs to 100 hands
would be employed.
The case of Frank Newman, charged
by Carrie Fairbanks with seduction and
bastardy, was aired yesterday in the
very young people, whose homes are i'll
Grant township. The young man is
especially we'll known in the city,
where, at the time of his arrest, he was
a pupil in the public schools. The de-
Tense introduced young men who SwOre
to their own criminal intercourse with
the complaining witness at such times
as made it decidedly difficult for the
court to fix the child'S paternity upon
any one of the boys, and so the defend
ant was discharged; but, at the instance
of the county attorney, the judge at
once turned to the two young men
whose testimony, eliminating them
selves, had saved the defendant, and
fined each S1S and costs for fornication.
