A Kitnball Sensation.

SOMETHING OF sensation has been
created at kimball by news that the
Supreme Court has affirmed the decis-
ion of the lower court requiring l.. d.
Bardin to pay temporary alimony and
attorneys fees to his second wife, who
is suing for divorce. Mr.. Bardin is
an old settler, and one OF the prominent
merchants of that place. He has two
daughters who are prominent in social
affairs. His first wife died about four
years ago, and about a year later he
married the second in Troy, N. Y, a
Mrs. Osborne. He brought her west
with him, and introduced her as his
wife. They lived together almost a
year, finally qnarreling and separating.
whereupon she began suit for divorce.
Soon after the suit was begun Mr.. Bar
din went to New York and married a
Miss Hattie O. Guile, and now lives
with her at kimball, and they have II
son nearly year old. Mr.. Bardin's
defense in the suit is that he was never
legally married to No. 2, as sho had u
husband living at the time, from whom
she had not been divorced. She claims
that, while this was true, she did not
know his whereabouts and had not
known them for several years, and un-
der the New York law needed no di-
vorce. The action of the Supreme
Court indicates that her position was
well taken, in the opinion of the court,
and also indicates that she will obtain
q divorce when the case comes to trial.
Should she do SO, Ii is understood that
criminal proceedings win be. begun
against Mr.. Bardfn for bigany.

officers will be demanded, and II they

ability of some lively times between

has probably been no more lawlessness

that the police force has been unabl 9
to cope with the cowboys when they
have come to the city and gone on
their sprees.
One Of the city aldermen recently
caused to be published the following
notice in one Of the local papers:

Edgerton in the Huron bond case is at
tracing attention among bondholders
in the East. Circuit Court Clerk PEN

A NUMBER OF counties In the state
have failed to remit to the State Treas
urer their tax for the maintenance OF
insane at the state asylum. Brookings
and Sanborn Counties are owing the
state 81 900 each and a number ef other
counties nearly Us much. Some Of
these counties even failed to levy q
tax, but in most cases it is due to the
neglect of the County Treasurers to
remit. According to the state law,
''upon the failure of any county to levy
such tax as aforesaid to an amount
sufficient to pay the sum then due the
state, it shall be the duty Of the State
Auditor to charge such delinquent
counties with penalty OF per cent.
per month upon the amount of indebt-
edness, then six months due, for each
month until payment thereof and PEN
atty thereon be paid" This law has
not heretofore been enforced, but
Auditor Nipple has given notice that
he now proposes to see that it Is en-
forced This heavy penalty will UNI
doubtedly soon bring the counties to q
settlement.

made life burden to Sheriff Knott
and his deputies. There are twenty
prisoners, ten OF whom are postofnes
robbers, confined in the jail. At the
time Randall and Burke were saving
their way to liberty, the prisoners let
a stesm pipe run which heated the
water in the bath tub. This drowned
all the other racket they made. The
sheriff put two chains and padlocks on
this pipe, but the prisoners broke the
chains and hid the padlocks both
times. They were informed that no
supper would be furnished until they
told who broke the chains. Instead Of
complying they called the sheriff and
deputies profane names and commenced
to slam the doors to the eight cells.
This made noise that was deafening
and paralyzed every one but the pris-
Oners. A garden hose was secured to
wet the prisoners down, but the GRIM
inals secured one end of it and broke
the hose. After an hours racket the
men went into their cells on promise
OF supper being furnished. Eightlock
saws, used for cutting the bars, were
found by Deputy Sheriff Hoffman.
They were in q sewer pipe in one OF
the cells.

A CORRUPT JUDGE.

The New York Tribune says that IL Isaac
II. Maynard, who stole the corrected cleo
ton returns Of the Fifteenth New York
senate district, "ean be elected a Judge Of
the highest court in onr state it will be
demonstrated that voters Of New York are
not iit for free government" These are
strong words, bat they are entirely borne
out By the facts
The facts are that falsified returns of the
polls of Duchess county had been sent In
to the state board OF canvassers; that cor
rections were sent in under order of the
courts, which arrived there in time. adj
dressed. as the law required. to Gov. Hill,
Secretary OF State Rice and Controller
Wemple: that IL Is in evidence that ali
these reached their destinations; that
Storm Emans. county clerk of Dutchess.
went mp post haste to Albany at the
order of his political Supporters, and
obtained from Gov. Hills messenger
boy these corrected returns. and that
Secretary Rice himself gave mp his copy
TO Emans. and that Maynard was the
GRAND boy who robbed Mr. Wemple's mail
of the controllers copy. Thus it was that
there we're presented to the state board of
canvassers only the false returns of the
county, and thus 1t was that the Repub-
lican majority of the senate was broken.
Wemple's messenger testified In court that
Maynard came into the office and asked
for letter to the controller which chad
been directed wrong" Maynard looked
over the letters on the controllers desk
and picked out the one he wanted. The
false certificate, which was finally counted,
and counted after Judge Edwards, DEM
ocrnt. Judge Barnard. q Democrat. Judge
Cullen, \ Democrat. and the entire bench
Of the court of appeals had condemned 10
as false fraudulent and. iiIegal-this false
certificate was fabricated at the instiga-
ton of Maynard. He went to Pough-
keepsie and instigated the throwing out of
the Republican ballots which all these
Democratic judges declared to be lawfully
cast. and he sat silent in the state board of
canvassers while they had before them
ealy the fraudulent returns from Dutchess
county.
There Is no denial of these facts: Gov.
Flower admits them. and laughs May
nard's crime away by saying that Demo-
Gratis were obliged to steal the state from
Republicans, who had repeatedly stolen it
| from them
