A Brainerd Row.

Judge Searle has rendered a deci-
sion in the case of Leon E. Lum VS..
D. Nj. Clark, L. B. McEwen ct al in
which he finds for the plaintiff. The
plaintiff brought this action to re-
strain the collection and obtain the
surrender and cancellation of a con-
ditional promissory note executed at
Brainerd, Feb. 24th, 1892, in which he
agreed to pay D. NJ. Clark $4,000, nine
months from date, on condition that
within that time the Northern Mill
Company extended it's logging rail-
road from Fitzpatrick Lake to Brain
erd and build within the city limits a
saw mill capable of cutting 100000
feet of lumber per day of eleven
hours. The action was brought up
on the ground that the note was
given without consideration, as a
bribe, and the condition upon which
it was made had not been fulfilled.
Judge Searle held that the argument
or contract was null and void, as
against public policy.-St. Cloud

No Saloons at Forwus Falls.

For the first time in the history of
Fergus Falls the saloons are closed.
At the, recent election the voters
decided. that hereafter license should
not be granted to anyone to sell
Intoxicating liquor in that city. The
old license was $500 and they all ex-
pired few weeks ago and now
Fergus is what is known as a
"dry town." A number of the saloon
keepers have gone elsewhere but
a few will remain and sell "Extract
OF HOps.' A special to the Pioneer
Press says: The Scandinavian farm
ers in the adjacent country were
greatly elated over the defeat of tine
saloons, and the night the licenses
expired 800 people met to celebrate
the downfall of the saloons. The
city council reduced the number OF
policemen from three to one, as the
prOhibitiOnists had claimed that if
it were not for saloons policemen
would not be necessary Mayor
Mason allowed the no license men to
select the chief of police, SO that the
law regarding the sale OF liquor
might be enforced. The result will
be watched with interest.

it was about April 20, 1857, that just
about such storm as this ragged the

cold winter, very much like the past

Little Falls has long needed a
creamery, for at times the butter
supply has run short, and this article
had to be shipped for a considerable
distance, and as a result very high
price was paid by consumers. Our

ON the Journal Press.

From the Journal Press.
Mr.. Geo. LaFOnd, the real estate
and loan agent of Little Falls, was
in st. Cloud last evening. He is OF
the decided opinion that that city
will enjoy summer season OF pros
perty.
A rather peculiar accident occurred
in the Times building yesterday al
ternoon The feed wires to the elect
ric motors in the building became
crossed and the electric fluid went
down The stack Of the sewer. This
communicated to the water pipes
and the "hot stuff melted the lead
pipes with the result that the offices
were almost drowned out.
An effort is being made at Little
Falls to secure a pardon for young
Frank Randall, who on his own con-
fession was sentenced to Saltwater
for life several years ago for the muir
der of an old man at Ft. Ripley. The
boy made his confession, tits claimed
to save his father, who was very
poor, the costs OF a trial, and that
he is really innocent. Young Ran
dall's health is very poor and if he is
not soon released, he will pay the
penalty of his crime, if crime he COM
mitted, with his life.

very satisfactorily and as rapid as
could be expected with affairs OF this
magnitude.
Some improvements are conten-
plated by those interested in the con-
solidation, but as the alliance has
not yet been perfected nothing def
mite can be stated, as it is impossible
to decide in advance what the con-
solidated company will undertake.

SNOW
Some Of Our Old Settlers Have Seen
Weather Like This
-%e Before.

just at present the entire North
west is covered with from six to
twenty inches of snow and business
is about as good as suspended. The
trains are all delayed and snow
ploWs are kept running day and
night making an effort to keep the
track clear. 1t may be chestnut to
use the expression "the worst storm
this season." but we think it is the
worst seen at this time OF year for
years, at least that is what the old
settlers say. Some of them are not
spositive as to the exact date, but de-
clare that in SO or 81 we had Just
such spring as this. The writer
was not in this meek of the woods
very early in the year 1866, but we
have heard people say that on April
30 of that year the Northwest was
visited by storm similar to this
only it was of shorter duration. 1t
only stormed one day hut about
twenty inches OF snow fell, and sold
lers who were discharged at Fort
Smelling on May 1st marched to st.
Paul and waded in snow to their
boot-tops. A few days later it was
all gone
Drives on some OF the small streams
are hung up for want of water and
if this is followed Ly a rain it will
be of great benefit to tie lumbermen

CAMS At BraiEerd.

The men who We're arrested on the
night of April II for gambling pleaded
not guilty and were tried before
Judge Chiperfield last Friday and
found guilty. A fine of $1GO or 80
days in Jail was imposed in each case.
The men appealed to the district
court and gave bonds for their
appearance. There was quite sharp
feeling against the men who were
said to have perfected a deal by which
all gambling houses but those run
by themselves were to be closed.
Fred Brinkman said they had
applied to him to rent rooms over
his saloon, saying that ii he rented
them to gamblers who were not in
the combine they would be closed.
However Mr.. Brinkman rented them
to the other fellows, and the rooms
were closed by the arrest Of the two
men who had rented, on the same
night that the men who made the
offer were running other rooms wide
open. Mr.. Brickman was naturally
indignant and swore out warrants
for the arrest of two men in the
alleged combine, and they were tried
yesterday. One was convicted and
fined $100, but he appealed to the
district court and gave bond. The
other was acquitted, the police
officers not being able to find the
witnesses who were wanted. Mr..
Brinkman says the combine would
pay him just as much for his rooms
as he conld get from anybody else,
but he believes in a square deal and
thinks one manis as good as another
ii he behaves as well, and that public
sentiment will be on his side in fight
ing it out to the end.-Brainerd
