The District court did not open this
morning until ten o'clock. At that hour
James Flynn, VIM. Brown and George
Reed were brought in to answer to the
charge of grand larceny in the second
1degree for stealing pants from NYquist
q Iverson. They each entered plea
of mot guilty" and their trial viii prob
ably occur this week.
The suit of Emil Diendonne, .respt. vs..

day afternoon and was on again this
morning. Amended pleadings were en-
tered this morning by the respondent.
The suit of d. L. Bowen VS. VIM. Hill

charging him with grand larceny in the
first degree, in stealing horses from D.
d. Harding's barn.
The grand jury found an Indictment
against B. Mckay, charging him with car
rying concealed weapons with intent to

not penitentiary offence.

ed lady af the city has interested her
self in the little fellows behalf. It is
shameful that the county cannot afford
sufficient quarters to separate boys from
hardened criminals.
Burt Mckay, who was bound over to
the grand juryfor assauItingU. q. Smith
at Lake Crystal Wednesday night, Was
Yesterday afternoon given permission
to 90 before the grand jury on his own
behalf. His case was considered yes
terday and Is not yet completed. A
number of witnesses came down quietly
from Lake CRYSTAL on the early morning
train, hoping that Mckay would not
know of their movements until the
grand jury had completed the Investlga-
ton, in order that he could be qnletly
rearrested, if necessary, before he
could skip out. 1t looks now as if these
precautions had failed. Mckay 'tgot
on to the racket" and came TO this city
and went before the grand jury--a rash
act in the opinion of the attorneys, as
bv SO doing he waived certain rights.
The difficulty with the prosecution is
that it is hard to find evidence Of such
nature as to convict. The action of the
grand jury is predetermined.
Mckay denies that he had any inten-
ton of shooting Smith. In its account
ofthe case, the Lake Crystal Mirror SAYS:
We called on Mickey and he stated
that he had no thought or intention of
shooting Smith and that his back WIS
turned 70 the window at the time he
discharged the revolver into the plat
form; that he didn't strike him at any
time and didn't even know him; that
officer Peterson didn't touch him until
after the shot had been fired. He admits
that he was under the influence of H.
quor at the time but says he did not in
tend harm to any one.
Mckay belongs to highly respected
family in Minneapolis, but has lived in
Lake Crystal for many years.
The grand jury brought in two indict-
ments at two O'Clock yesterday after
noon and one at four O'Clock. This
makes six IN all that have been return
ed. The jury visited the poor farm and
jail this forenoon. 1t is said that new
matter is to be brought before it, which
may keep 1t until Monday.
EiMorgan Pugh, Catherine Pugh and
Gynor Pugh, of Ceresco, were discharged
yesterday afternoon, no Indictment hay-
ing been found against them. They

The trial Of the suit of VIM. Sanger VS.
Mikkel Bertelson was completed yester
day afternoon. The action for an eject
ment was ruled out OF the case, and the
matter merely hung upon the amount O.
damages to be awarded. Bertelson pre-.
scented counter claim for damages. He
stated that Sanger had sold so acres Of
the property which ne had leased, and
that this had robbed him Of his pasture
land. The jury found this to be the
case, and awarded Bertelson S. dam
ages.
1t Is peculiar fact that the total dam
ages awarded IN the four cases thus far
completed is but SO.
During the progress of the Sanger
Bertelson trial, one of the jurors, Adam
KlughertZ, was excused from further
service, owing to the death of his broth
er's child.
The case of Gotleib PersH VS.. Carl
Schroeder, Louisa Bemler, intevenor,
occupied the attention of the court to-
day. The two men farmed together and
on parting a question arose as ito the
ownership of certain of the farm proper
ty. Perski sues for several hundred
dollars.
Anton Studueske was arraigned on
the charge of burglary in the third de-
gree and pleaded not guilty. The case
was continued until the next term, and
is practically settled, as during the boy Is
good behavior it will never be brought
up again. His story is that he was sent
IN to get some tickets from the ticket
Office by older boys, who wanted the
tickets to play circus with. The boy
parents came to Mankato Yesterday and
seemed much affected. They took the
boy home and promised to care for him
They are Poles and cannot talk English
No Polish interpreter could be found

From Satgrday's Daily

Five prisoners were arralgned before
Judge Severance this morning on Indlct-
ments found against them by the grand
Jury.
Frank Rice was arraigned on the
charge of grand larceny N the first de-
gree, for stealing l,300 pounds OF flour
from the mill of Chas. Rogers, at st.
Clair. and as he had no attorney, g. L.
Benedict was appointed to act II that
capacity. He took until Monday to
plead, but later, by consent of the coun-
ty attorney, pleaded guilty of grand lar
ceny in the second degree. He will be
sentenced later,
James Flynn, VIM. Brown and Geo.
Reed were arrRigned for grand larceny
IN the second degree, for stealing pants
from the store of Nyquist 4 lverson.
W Young was appointed their attor-
ney, and they took until Monday at 10
a. n. TO plead.
The other prisoner was Anton Stud
eske, of Mapleton, little boy who Is
charged with stealing tickets from the
depot at that place. He gave his age as
nine wears and is bright, innocent ap-
pesring boy, with large head, brown
eyes and light complexion. He stood
I'D promptly and answered all the ques-
tions put to him, bragely. He was ar
raigned for burglary in the third degree.
In reply to questions he stated that his
father and mother live in Mapleton,
and that his father has been to see him
but once during the five months that he
has been in jail, and his mother not at
all. County Attorney Smith stated that
the case is a peculiar one and that the
boys parents refuse to have anything
TO do with the case.
The little fellow, standing there by
himself without friend in the world to
assist or advise him IN his trouble, at
traCted the favorable attention and sym
pathy Of all in the court room. He had
no attorney, and when Judge Severance
stated this fact, Hon. Daniel Buck i'm
mediately arose and volunteered to act
as the boys attorney. Mayor Pau ar
once volunteered TO assist Mr.. Buck IN
the defense. Their generous offer was
accepted by the court, and the
boy now has two Of the best lawyers in
Southern Minnesota to aid his defense.
The trusting, grateful glance that their
little client turned up to them Was no
little reward in itself for their kindness.
In connection with this case, 1t is
proper to say here that there are re-
ports that the boy has suffered much
hard treatment from the older prison
ers since his Incarceration ID the county
Jail. 1t is said that they have held him
under the water faucet and let the cold
water run over him. His head also
bears scars that look like recent iniu-
ries. We understand that kind heart

Robert T. Mckay was grraigned yes
terday afternoon on an Indictment char
ging him with carrying dangerous
weapon with intent to use the same
against another" While denying that
he attempted or intended to shoot
Smith, he entered plea of guilty, and
was fined SIS, which he paid. A. ].
Stackpole appeared as his attorney.
This is another case of swift punish
ment, as the crime was committed less
than five days before it was expIated by
q compliance with the sentence of the
court. The county attorney believes
that the ends Of justice have been met,
as there was considerable doubt wheth-
er Mckay really intended to shoot
Smith, or merely wanted to celebrate
the wedding and friehten him.
M. o. Whitney's bond was continued
to the next term of court, and he was
required to appear on the first day Of
the term and answer to the Indictment
against him, charging him with grand
larceny N the first degree,

1t seems that the report that Anton
Studneske has been illtreated by tie
older prisoners while in jail is without
foundation. Sheriff Geddes fatty de-
MES it, and says that on the other hand
he has been pet among the prisoners.
The boy does not complain of illusage.
But the fact still remains that the coun-
ty should quickly build jail that will
afford separate accommodations for
bows.
The grand jury brought in two more
indictments al AS Saturday afternoon,
and presented its final report. Judge
Severance complimented it on its expe-
ditious work. The report is as follows:
The grand jury visited the poor farm
and made an exaination Of the stock
and buildings.
They find the live stock to consist of
three brood mares, one 2-year-old colt,
and two spring colts, seven COWS, ALSO
two COWS that are TO be killed for the
use of the farm, one year-old steer,
two 2-year-old heifers, seven spring
calves, one 2-year-old durham bull and
five young caves. They also find Is
hogs, including old and young.
Mr.. n. P. Lewis, who Is IN charge,
stated to the jury that the following
amount of grain and produce was raised
upon the farm in 1890, to wit: wheat,
528 bushels; oats, 4S4 bushels; potatoes,
26O bushels; turnips, 90 bushels; car
rots, 10 bushels; beets, so bushels; on
ions, 6 bushels; corn, $50 bushels; cab
bage, 100 heads; hay, % tons.
At present there are u male inmates
and one female inmate on the farm.
There are two hired girls and one hired
man, employed al present.
There is q new well 262 feet In depth
in operation, equipped with q wind
mill, and in our opinion the farm is
well managed and the inmates well car
ed for.
We find the county jail TO be in poor
condition as regards thebuilding. Some
provision should be made by which
boys could be kept separate from more
hardened criminals. We find the Jail
kept in as good condition as Is possible
under the present circumstances and
conveniences.
The grand jury would recommend
that new jail be built as soon as prac-
ticable, and that making repairs upon the
present structure is waste OF money.
We find the county court house to be
in good condition. The grand jury rec
ommend that the court room shall not
be used for any other than court pur-
poses.

Bertelson, for term of three years, for
half thecorna nd grain harvested. Sanger
claims that the farm has been managed in
a very shiftless manner and that the cat
tie have destroyed or damaged the
shade trees and shrubbery. He also
holds that owing to Bertelson's shift
lessness tie crop WAS much less than
1t should have been. For these things
he asks damages to the amount of $l4O
and the ejectment of the tenant. Thos.

Sweeney, Mr.. T. T. Templin, of this city,
to Miss Fannie Mansfield
The handsome bride was attired in a
London smoked travelling dress, and the
late old bachelor who had won her, was
the happiest looking of mortals.
There were many presents, useful and
ornamental, given the bride. VIM. S.
Bucknor sent a note welcoming the
groom to one of Gods girls" and offer.
ing trio of pure South Down sheep |;
Col. and Mrs. r. q. Stoner, a Jersey.
Among those in attendance from be.

June Stone and wife, sister of the bride,

Mansfield, County Assessor, is the bride s
brother. We accompanied the bridal
pair as far as Cynthiana, they being en-
route for a visit of few days to the
groom's old home at Hillsboro, o., be.
fore locating in Paris. He has as con-

to convince one desiring choice animals

that their experience as breeders and
importers, their facilities, low rates OF
transportation, large numbers constant

The Trade Was Conditional.

1t is only short time since DR.. Isaac
Grove entered into. bargain or
covenant, whereby one Mat jenkins was
to have and to hold possession of the
Dr.'s family carriage. Provided, how.
ever, that the said Mat turn over into
the hands of the DIR. sufficient amount
of his hard-earned wealth to pay for it,
If this was not done second condition
of the contract was that DR.. Grove
should resume possession OF his ambu-
lance. Time that tries all things de-
veloped the fact that the first condition
was not going to be complied with, and
trouble arose when the second condition
was insisted on being in order by the
DR.. But trouble or no trouble. DR..
Grove would have his vehicle or know
the reason why, SO on meeting his for
mer merchant, and his then present
debtor, as he was driving the identical
carriage up High street from the north,
DR.. Groves intimated that he would
just take possession Of that buggy, to
which offer Jenkins demurred. When
MIR. Grove saw that Jenkins was deaf to
reason he proceeded to- undo the fasten.
ings which bound the critter to the
buggy. While Grove unhitched Jenkins
hitched up. This went on for some
time, when the DR.. in his haste to get
his work in pushed Jenkins out of his
way Jenkins says he knocked him).
Jenkins fell and Grove kicked him for
falling. The DR.. got possession of the
vehicle, but he had to answer to charge
of assault and battery before Justice
Maddox last Friday. Mr.. Grove thought
at first he was not guilty, but after hear
ing the testimony lie changed his mind
and concluded that he was guilty. The
Squire charged him S. and cost for car.
rying out the second condition of his
bargain in the way that he did.

Installation and Banumet.

On last Friday evening the installa.
ton OF officers OF the Hilsboro Council,
No. 345, Royal Arcanum, took place.
The installation was a public one and
the exercises were conducted by Mr.. s.
II. Hitchcock, Deputy Grand Regent for
Ohio. The officers installed were:
Regent, S. Lewis Holmes.
Nice-Regent, Cyrus Newby.
Orator. John Il. Horst.
Past Regent, G. NJ. Harsha.
Treasurer, T. l.. Head.
Collector, j. b. Rowe.
Secretary, W. II. Glenn.
Chaplain, L. o. Hetherington.
Guide, A. w. Downham.
Warden, G. Grove.
Sentry, ]. T. Young.
The exercises in inducting the newly
elected officers into office took place in
the Odd Fellows Hall in the presence of
q number OF ofinvited guests. All present,
either by invitation or by right. were
interested in the exercises, which took
place in the hall just named, but the
most interesting feature of the evening
was the banquet spread in Armory Hall,
to which all responded with a smile.
The supper was furnished by Mr.. p.
IL. Work. The name of Philip Work as
caterer is a sufficient guaranty for beth
quantity and quality, 80 no effort at a
description OF the menu shall be attemptr
ed, suffice it to say that covers were laid
for one hundred and thirty persons.
The response to partake of the good
things set before those present was as.
heartily and as happily entered into as
were the responses made to the toasts of
the evening, and here the clergy of the
town are acknowledged to have done
themselves proud in being complete
masters of the situation, both in the
keenness of appetite and wit. Others
present came in as close seconds, if any
OF the proceedings may be mentioned in,
a secondary way. The whole should be
mentioned as first-class in all its appoint.
ments. Good music was furnished by
the Hillsboro Orchestra. A letter was
read before the Council from G. N.
Holmes, of Chicago, who is an absent
member. The social feature of this
order is one ofits most attractive features,
while as an order OF insurance it cannot
be surpassed. The Royal Arcanum is a
comparatively young order, it being in
stituted but ten years ago, and yet it
numbers $4,000 on its rolls. Its growth
has been marvellous, but very satisfactory,
and it still promises fair to double itself
several times in the near future.
