Gently in country district in that state

an extravasion of blood and ecchymois
of the surrounding tissues, which was
in a tumefied state, and also with a
slight abrasion of the cuticle." The
Justice writhed in his seat as the doctor

Another Road to the Hills.

The announcement that the Northern
Pacific has ordered the completion of it's
extension to the Black Hills, and the en-
ergetic movements of the Great Northern
and Burlington are looked on as prepara-
tions for bitter fight between these
roads, and accounts for the continued
heavy selling of Northern Pacific by the
insiders. The Gould brokers and Gould's
associates are all bearish in their talk,
and are working for lower prices. The
effect of the news of the practical col
lapse of the association was heavy de-
cline in the northwestern and south
western roads in the exchange today

TIE CRY RLEcT1oiE.

Pursuant to call large number of,
the representative business men and
property owners OF sturgis met at the!
city hall Saturday evening and nomi-
mated candidates, from non bipartisan
standpoint, to be elected Tuesday OF
this week, the result being that Jacob
Keffeler was chosen from the first ward,
E. T. Marshall from the second and p.
E. Sparks from the third.
At the polls Messre. Keffeler and
Sparks were successful, the former hav-
ing no opponent and the latter by 8 ma
iority. Mr.. Marshall was defeated by
majority, Louie Fishel being elected.
MIR. Keffeler OF the first ward is we'll
known business man, has served on our
board of education for a term and is
we'll equipped for his Office as council
man. Mr.. Sparks is also we'll known as
a careful business man and will carry
with him into the council the same .prin-
ciples which have made him successful
in his private business. Louis Fishel. of
the second ward, was elected by a GER
tain element opposed to Mr.. Marshall.
The liquor dealers, gamblers and round
ers, thinking Mr.. Marshall would be un-
friendly, brought out Mr.. Fishel and
after hard work elected him by four
votes. Mr.. Fishel is an enthusiastic
fireman and will certainly do all he can
to improve the department while he is in
office. We have too much confidence in
his good sense and judgment to think
for a moment that he will allow himself
to be handled and controlled exclusively
by the element which elected him and
now claim him as their own.
The liquor dealers, evidently thinking
they own the earth, and that other lines
of business have no rights which they
are bound to respect, made themselves
thoroughly obnoxious on election day
and have done more toward making the
enforcement of prohibition possible in
this city than has been imagined in the
past by the NEST sanguine. We could
not blame the citizens and Taxpayers
should they begin at once TO ,snforee
| the law.

H{lI Citv Rank Affair.

The facts in relation to the amount oil
the defalcation of the cashier of the late
Hill City bank, which have been so eyre.
griously distorted by the press, may
now, after thorough investigation has
been made, be correctly and reliably
stated, as follows: The amount OF the
shortage, as shown by the books, fol
which the defaulting cashier is directly
responsible, is about $500. The amount
of collections made by Lincoln, fol
which no entries appear upon the books
aggregate about $400. The amount Of
Lincoln's note, held by the bank upon {
loan to him, is SITS, making Mr.. Gar
locks loss, resulting from Lincoln'l
crooked conduct, nearly 81 200 exclusive
of expenses incurred, which would in
crease the aggregate to about 81, 500.

PARK IN THE SECOND WARD.
Commissioners Urged to Purchase
the Indian Mounds

Commissioners Urged to Purchase
the Indian Mounds.
The park commissioners yesterday
ing to look over sites offered for park
purposes. The site for the proposed
Lincoln park was first inspected. This
site is situated at the end of Maria ave-
nue., and the land to be purchased is
largely owned by the East Side syndi-
cate. The commissioners were here met
by large delegation Of citizens in the
ward, members of the Second Ward
Taxpayers Improvement association.
These gentlemen were opposed to
the proposed Lincoln park site.
and their objections were forci-
bly, voiced by Aid. Bott, Benn
Davis and Il. l.. .EGray. These gentle
taxpayers were opposed to Lincoln
park; that it was simply scheme of
the East Side syndicate to unload its
property OH to the city. Messrs. James
Middleton and George Freeman, citi-
ZenS of the ward and members of the
syndicate, supported the Lincoln park
site. The Indian mounds were visited.
A majority of the cilizens of the
ward favor the purchase of the
Indian mounds for park purposes. The
outlook from the mounds is unequaled
by any other part of the city, and the
commissioners were eloquently urged to
throw aside the Lincoln park PROPOSE
ton, which would merely benefit few
people, and make a public park of the
Indian mounds, which would be not
only satisfaction to the residents of
that ward, but an attraction to the peo-
pie of the city at large.

tested that she was perfectly innocent,

VANDERBURGH, j.
In mutual fire and insurance COM
pany organized under the Laws of 1871,
chapter 81, all the policy-hOlders are
members during the terms of insurance.
The capital is made up of cash premi-
ums and premium notes, and the latter
are assessable in proportion to the
amount of losses sustained. An adjudI-
cation of the insolvency of such ali in
surance company and the judicial Sc
questration of all its property fixes the
date for ascertaining debts and claims
against the company and the effect
is to cancel the outstanding policies.
Policies on which losses have not oc-
Cured are not debts or fixed liabilities
of the company, and the losses OCCUR
ring after the appointment of re-
ceiver to wind up the affairs of an in
solvent mutual insurance company can-
not be proved and allowed as claims
against the company by the receiver.
All the outstanding policies at the date
of the sequestration of the assets must
be deemed TO stand on tine same footing,
and the policyholders are entitled only
to the surrender value OF the same.

They Claim They Were Defrauded
Of Their Property.
George Mackubin Thomas. James
Thomas Jr..and Clarence Wood Thomas
have sued Augustus r. Capehart to re-
cover $4,000 as the present value of a
number of lots in Mackubin and Mar
shalPS addition to st Paul. The plant
ifs are the heirs at law of Sarah Clare
Thomas, who died in st. Mary's county,
Maryland, in 1861. She left no will, but
owned the lots referred to and $4,000
worth OF personal property. 1t is as
serted that the personal property was
taken by James Thomas, the father of
the plaintiffs, and has never been ac-
counted for in law. 1t is asserted that
the father and A. R. Capehart schemed
TO defraud the children of their inter-
ests IN the st. Paul property. Capehart
was appointed guardian of the children
in August, 1870, and secured an
order to sell the lots. They were
sold at auction and purchased by James
Thomas. BY the report of the guardian
in the probate court it appears that the
highest sum paid for any lot was $3.50:
but 1t is asserted that Thomas never
paid for the property, and that there has
been no accounting with the plaintiffs.
1t is asserted that James Thomas sold to
innocent purchasers $4,000 worth of
lots, and i'll 1882 sold to Capehart lots
that were worth $4,000 for 81 900, and
Capehart sold them to Preston Z. Jack
son in 1887 for $4,000. The plaintiffs
say they did not know that they had
been defrauded of their property until
within sixty days of the commencement
of this action. Capehart has filed an
answer claiming that the proceedings
were regular and that the property was
sold according to law. as is shown by
the records of the probate court.

A SOIit RaiI.

William II. James. respondent, VS.. Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, appellant. Or
der reversed MITCHELL, j.
The mere supposition or general un-
1erstanding" OF its employees is not COM
petent evidence of the existence of a
rule of a railroad company. Notice to a
company that cars passing over GER
tain place in its tracks had jumping"
or earring" motion would not tend to
prove notice to it of latent internal
seam in a rail at that place, which sub
sequently caused the rail to split and
break, there being no evidence that the
motion of the cars was caused by or
even suggestive of the latent defect in
the rail. The mere fact that a switch
man, when injured by the derailing of
q switch engine was riding on the front
instead of on the footboard of the en-
gine. is no evidence of cOntributory
negligence.
