Suit For Slander.

In the district court at Sauk Rap
ids, yesterday afternoon, the case OF
John Timmons VS.. Mary Campbell.
was tried. Timmons sued for $1,000
damages for slander The defendant
in the case is the wife Of Joseph
Campbell, IL prominent citizen of
Sauk Rapids. The suit grows out of
the objections which Mrs. Campbell
raised before the village council
against that body granting liquor
license to the plaintiff. TimmOns
sought to get a license to run Il
saloon in a building next to the resi-
dence of the defendant. Mrs. Camp
bell appeared before the council and
represented that TimmOns was not
a proper person to run a saloon,
The plaintiff alleges that Mrs. Camp
bell told the council that Timmons
at one time had taken Il woman of
bad character into Ed. Milane's hotel,
and that the woman was put out of
the house bv Mrs. AIilane. Also that
upon another time IimmOns was
found in the room of a servant girl
in a hotel. Upon the stand Mrs.
Campbell did not deny that she made
the statements, but said that she
had simply repeated these things
from hearsay, to show. the council
that TimmOns was not Il proper
man to grant a license to. The jury
found a verdict for the defendant
fridays st. Cloud Times.

OUR LUMBER CUT.
More Lumber Cut at Little Falls Dur
ing 1852 Than at Any Other
Place North of
Minneapolis

On Friday the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman issued an annual White
Pine Statistical number and it con-
tains a great deal of valuable infOr-
nation to lumbermen, regarding the
lumber cut of the past six years. A
great deal OF pains has been taken in
compiling the figures, and they are
doubtless correct.
Itshows that more lumber wascut
at Little Falls the past season than
at any other place north of Mime
apolis. 1t gives the Pine Tree Lum-
Der company's cut as follows: Lum-
ber. 100000 feet; shingles, 9,5OO,0OO;
lath, 100000. Stock on hand, Lum-
Der, 100000 feet; shingles. $500 600;
lath, 100000.
The cut of the Pine Tree Lumber
company for 1893 will he much great
er than that of last year, as arrange
ments are being made to operate the
mills night and day.

KILLED IN THE WOODS
Ambrose Tourtillotte of Little
- Falls Meets With Fatal
@:. Accident. 81.

From Saturdays Daily. IA.
Ambrose Tourtillotte of this city,
was killed yesterday at Curtis &
Lawrence's lumber camp near
Lincoln. He owned six horses and
was hauling logs with them. Yester-
day afternoon about 2o'clock he was
on his way to the landing With a
heavy load and came to a place
where the road was being repaired
and waited until the men had com
pleted their work. 1t was down
grade and on curve, a place where
it was his custom to ride on the
load, as it is dangerous to walk
along side of the team. Mr.
Tourtillotte thought he would not
take the trouble to climb up on the
load but walked beside the. pole
horses. When lie came to the curve
he reached for the reins to swing the
leaders. Just as he did SO he slipped
and fell. The bunk on the sled
projected over the runner quite a
distance and before he could regain
his feet it caught him and rolled him
over, and the runner passed over his
leg between the knee and the body
The road crew picked him up and
started to take him to the hospital
at Brainerd but he died before they
reached Motley. He was conscious
up to the time of his death and about
the last thing he said was that if he
had been where he usually was, on
top of his load when going over
that place, he would not have been
hurt.
His sons W. and V. Tourtillotte
and nephew, Fred Tourtillotte went
up on No. /, last evening and
returned this morning with the
remains.
1t has not yet been decided when
the funeral will be held, but probably
not till some relatives, who were
telegraphed for arrive.
Ambrose TourtillOtte was born in
the state of Maine about sixty-three
years ago. He moved to Elk River.
Mimi, in the early days, and about
three years ago came to Little Falls
During the greater part of his life he
was engaged in teaming and there
was probably not a better teamster
in the northwest.
He leaves an aged wife, and three
married children, William and V.
Tourtillotte of this city, and Mrs
Martha CNWden, of, Sturgis, N. D.
Mr.. Torrtillotte was an honest,
Industrious man, OF good morals, a
true friend and good neighbor. He
will be greatly missed among his
large circle of acquaintances in this
part of the state.

MAY LOSE THEIR LAND.
A Large Number Of Morrison County
Farmers are in Danger Of Losing
Their Farms. - ~-

Christian Vosen was down to ST.
Cloud Monday to consult lawyer
with reference to a law suit that is
now pending between the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
railroad companies, in which a
large number of farmers in Morrison
county are made co-defendants. Mr..
Vosen informs us that all the rail-
town is affected by the case. Many
years ago this land was purchased
by the settlers from the Great North
ern railroad company. The land
had been granted the company by
the state to aid in the construction
OF it's railroad. It now transpires
that much Of this land was included
it grants to the Northern Pacific
company, at least that is the latter
cOmpany's claim. The suit has been
brought by the Northern Pacific
company and no transfers can be
made till the matter is settled by the
courts. About 10000 acres of land
situated in the towns of Two Rivers,
Morrill,. Buckman and Bellevue. are
affected by the action. If the claim
of the Northern Pacific company is
sustained by the courts the title of
the settlers is worthless and they
will lose their homes They could of
course fall back upon the Great
Northern company for the purchase
price OF the land, but all improve
ments in the way of buildings and
cultivation of the soil would be lost
to them. Mr.. Vosen informs us that
he went to the attorney for the n. p
road and inquired about The case
and was told that the company
would be willing to quit claim to
him it's interest in his l6O for 5000.
VOsen refused to accept the offer. He
is in favor Of some concerted action
on the part of all interested and
wished us to announce that Il meet
ing will be held at the Buckman
church next Sunday to talk the mat
ter over, and that Il second meeting
will be held in Buckman village on
Saturday, Jan. 2S, at 3 o'clock p. m,
at which time some action will be
taken.
We arc not in a position to know
what grounds the n. p. company
has for it's claim, but in the interest
of the settlers we hope that that the
courts will decide in favor of the
Great Northern company

MORE LIGHT.
Now Dynam0s are Being Placed
At the Electric Light
Station.

A visit was paid to the Electric
light station this morning and
every thing was found to be torn up.
The cause OF all this is that the
company is putting in two new
dynamos. Each one of these
machines has a capacity of 1900
lights. They are made by the
Westinghouse company and have all
the latest improvements. The old
1900 light machine is being taken
out and these new ones are being
put in it's place. A large amount OF
new shafting has been added and
the machinery IS SO arranged that
they get the power from two water
wheels instead of one as heretofore.
Thelights will he turned on tonight,
and if they have to repair one OF these
machines it will not effect the incon-
descent system, as they have an ex
ira machine and al. that would have
to be done would be to change the
belt.
Our electric plant now has a capa-
city of over 5000 incandescent lights,
but it has cost a considerable sum OF
money to make it what it is. The
last improvements made Will cost the
company about $4,000.
w. NJ. Gibson, of the Watrous En-
gine company, is assisting Superinten-
dent Baker in placing the machinery
and the work will he completed soon.
The lights will be running us usual
tonight.

tary Lamont and DR.. Bryant 1t was prao-
ticaily the Presidents first appearance IN

President and his companions walked 10
Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street TO the
White House. They mingled with the rest
of the people leaving the theater and al
most everybody spoke of Il as a most un-
usual incident. Secretary Lamont walker
over to the Arlington and In response %
inquiries, said:

ant. but the President seemed TO enjoy %
more than we did. That was probably be-
cause he has had no such diversion for
some time. He enjoyed the walk home too
But can tell you that when the rheuma-
tism caught him last summer he could not
have walked one-tenth the distance BE
was a great sufferer. That is all passed
now and he is very well He has not even
a magnified toothache i am glad that he
saw the play, for IL was a diversion 10 him.

was with rheumatism we would probably
feel like boys at n picnic II we could see q
