MI Gu LAND INVOLVED,
But 1t Is of little Value and Gov.
cred by q Mortgage.

Leonard Ames and George H. French
are complainauts in an action brought
to secure a balance on promissorY. notes
which are secured by a mortgage on
land, aggregating several thousand
acres, situated in NIeeker, Mcleod,
Wright, Carver and Hennepin counties.
The defendants are Phebe H. Litch-
field, widow of E. Darwin Litchiieid.
and other heirs. names unknown, of
England. and some 100 persons who in
nocently purchased the land in ques-
ton, not knowing it to be mortgageli.
The notes were made Nov. l. 1880.
Four of them are for $4,000 and the
fifth for S3,077. OF the total amount,
SIG. ll6.6G. it is alleged. remains unpaid.
The land. the plaintiffs say, is, for the
greatest part. marsty. and is also badly
incumbered. They ask that receiver
be appointed to take charge of the land,
and that ali parties who have puT-
chased parts of the whole tract since
the mortgage was given. be fereclosed

HOWARD RICKER's SUIT.
1t Was Argued and Submitted Be-
fore Judge Smith.

There having been no sessions of
court during the past week, the special
term calendar was particularly heavy,
nearly one hundred eases being down
for consideration. Among the first to
come up was the suit OF Howard Il.
Kicker against Anna NJ. ClementsOn,
suit to recover some $500. This is the
action which was repeatedly referred to
during the trial of Kicker for embeZZle-
ment recently. At that time Kicker
alleged that he had been inundated
into giving Clementson a receipt for
salary due. and 10 also nay over money
to j. j. Smith, the detective whom
CIementsOn had employed to ferret out
Rieker's misdoing. The case came up
before Judge Smith. and Clementson'S
attorney moved 70 strike out that part
of Ricker's complaint which refers to
the money having been eXtOrted under
duress. which was denied. The case
was then argued ana submitted.

dian Northwest. He represented the Mac
leod district in the Legislature and was
looked upon as one OF its most SHINING

from the House and disappeared,
since which time there has been no
trace of him. Since the announce
ment of the death of the Earl o. shannon
and the succession of young BOYLE 20 his
fathers title and enormous estates in Eng

Hon. Henry Boyle lett London yesterday

was known to have a large sum q money
on his person at the tine Of his disappear

but only some forest keepers. letter-car-

Awonderful pnsumatIc Riae.

Paul Clifford, the original inventor of the
Paril pneumatic post-system, has made a
pneumatic rifle which is said 20 be Won
Ger. Ii is described this way: The weapon
is much lighter than any of the army rifles
now in use. IL resembles the magazine
gun in that a steel cartridge about a span
and a half long aud as thick as mans
thumb is attached 10 the barrel by means
OF q screw. This cartridge contains 9Vo
shots which can be discharged as rapidly
or slowly As a man desires. Al a recent
trial the ball travelled with wonderful &c.
curacy and penetrated deep into the wall
Of the shooting-room. As soon as one car
fridge is emptied OF its 800 shots another
can be screwed on the gun in the twinkiing
Of an eye. Mr.. Clifford says that the 800 shots
in cartridge can he producted at Q cost OF
about three pence. The gun itself can be
manufactured for about IS.
