Supt. ]. Z. Torrens of Redwood Falls
spent Sunday in town.
Attorney Davis, acting as agent fer
Mrs. g. N. Steele Of Tracy, rented the
Steele house the other day to Andrew
Jackson Gilman for the period of six
months. On the day following, Mrs.
Steele leased the house to j. D. Jones of the
Sleepy Mill Co. Andrew jackson, like
his illustrious namesake for whom SO
many good old democrats are still credi-
ted with voting, can work himself into
lighting spirit on occasion. He did. So
yesterday, moving his goods into the
house and declaring it was his for six
months. Mrs. Steele says DAVIS isn't her
agent. Davis has papers to prove the
contrary. Jones wants the house. A. J..
G. has it and with it the best of the
struggle thus far. The controversy has
created considerable interest and bids
fair to assume legal form in the near
future. Meanwhile Andrew jackson Gill
man consoles himself with the reflection
that possession is nine points of the
law"
An editorial column in last weeks
Dispatch was headed: ellis jacet iusti-

Wv. Leppelman, representing the
Brittanica department of the Minn.apo-
lis Tribune, was here last Friday and
part OF Saturday; and will not be likely
to forget his visit soon. He was to dis
tribute some 80 or 40 prize volumes of
the encyclopedia among the school chill
dren. At the home of one young lady,
member of the High School, he deliv-
cred volume and then presented a prin-
ted order for the remaining "a volumes
at 80. each. In the lower left-hand cor
ner he had written, with lead pencil, the
following: eff not, heard from in three
weeks, this to be destrc cyed," in such a
way that it could easily be torn off or
erased. He stated to the young lady and
her parents that itwas necessary for him
to present this order signed at the Tri-
bune office as receipt for the volume.
That if the young lady wished to pur-
chase the remainder of the set within
three weeks, she would receive the books
by writing to the Tribune Co. If she did
not write, the order would be DESTROYED.
In short, he induced the young lady to
sign the order. After he had gone, the
young lady's brother-in- law, one of our
leading physicians, arrived. On hearing
of what had taken place, he put the mat
ter OF the order in such a light thatit as

lady went to the hotel, saw the agent.
and demanded the return of the order.
He refused, saying he must return it as
receipt, but gave her duplicate. The

some of our business men whose chill

greater part of the afternoon; and he
would have receired hot reception had
he been rash enough to venture the rea-
bouts. The town has been greatly stirred up
over the matter. The agent left on Sat

had not returned. His books are at the
