1t seems to us that an air brake
on each one of the doors in the court
house would be very profitable in
yestment for the county to make. At
present the heavy doors are
allowed to slam and that is
not only tough on the inmates but
rough on the door and is liable to
break the big pane of glass, as has
been done already in one or two cases.
While Williams & Brown were
putting the new pane of plate glass in
the window of the Model Clothing
House, in place of the one broken
some time ago, in attempting to pry
the bottom edge into place, the pane

into buggy just ahead in which C.L.
Walters and G. G. Miller were riding.
Both these men were badly bruised

The band picnic at Lake Crystal

=-MddeEa Times There is a discus
sion in Mankato to have an ordinance
enacted to protect the city merchants
from unwholesome competition. That
there is a class of bankrupt goods
dealers coming into the town, selling
at less than legitimate prices and
then picking up and leaving. They
pay no taxes, do not help to build up
the city and are damage to the trade
generally.
If the farmers and others who
have occasion to hitch their horses on
Front street these hot days would on
ly think to always hitch on the shady
side it would save the horses no little
suffering. This is matter almost en-
tirely neglected, and very little
thoughtfulness would be worth a great
deal, both to the horses and their
owners.
Mr.. Geo. Fletcher and Mrs. Carrie

Fletcher, whose untimely death is a
source of great affection to them and
has called forth earnest expressions of
sympathy for the bereaved family

1t will be remembered that Miss
Eva Mcdonald, the Alliance lecturer,
was married recently to Mr.. Frank
Valesch and that they are spending
the honeymoon at Madison Lake. On
Thursday the rest and inactivity of
the lake became tiresome, and as a
little diversion the two walked into
Mankato. a distance of II miles. This
is strange thing for an alliance lee
turer to do, but perhaps they wanted
to examine the condition of crops
along the road or notice the latest
methods in farming. Surely the Al
lance people will now think more
of miss ~ Eva" than ever.
Wouldn't it be fun to see Mr.. DON
nelly walk as far.

A BIG SUIT.
AN ACTION FOR AN EVEN TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS
Brought Against DR.. Gregory Acksrmann By ]. r.
Leggs-The Garrison Cass-Ths
Supreme Court.

Yesterday Hon. John A. Hutchinson,
counsel for j. F. Legge, Superintend-
ent of Maintenance Of Way OF the
Fourth division of the 3. & 0. railroad
filed in the Office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court, the preliminary papers in
a suit for $40, 900 damages against DR..
Gregory Ackermann. No further light
is thrown on the suit by the papers
than is contained in the above brief an
nouncement, but it is supposed the
claim arises out Of the accident on the
Ohio River road on Thursday, June
<. 1890, in which Mr.. Legge sustained a
compound fracture of his right arm, and
had his shoulder severely hurt and va
rious cuts and bruises of a minor nature
about the body. DR.. Ackermann was
one of the physicians summoned in the
case. news of which reached this city
about IL o'clock at night, and Drs.
Ackermann, Schwinn and j. K. Pipes
left for the scene on special train
soon after
When Mr.. Legge left this city for
Grafton DR.. Ackermann fixed up his
arm in plaster cast for transportation,
and it is Surmised the suit rests upon
this operation, in some way.
A special telegram to the REGISTER
from Parkersburg, received late last
night, says:
"Mr. Legge alleges that his arm was
set in such a bungling manner that he
has, for all practical purposes, lost The
use of the arm. He now sues for the
above amount, claiming that If the
work had been done in a proper manner
his arm would now be perfectly sound
and well"
DR.. Ackermann's friends express no
anxiety at the outcome of the suit.

no probability that the argument will
be disposed Of Last evening Prescott
ing Attorney Howard said he had not
been supplied with all the af1idavits
taken by the defense, and added that if
he had them he would not be ready to
proceed, for the reason that he would
want, as a matter of course, to summon
the witnesses for cross-exami nation, as
well as the jurors whose conduct
has been brought into question, and
perhaps other persons would have to be
examined. Judge Campbell will be here
this morning, and then the matter will
be Strengthened out, and all parties will
know where they stand.
