Chauncey G. Peck was born in Ben
son, Vermont, in 1866, being one of a
family of two boys and one girl. He
went to school in Benson for year or
two, and came west to Minneapolis
with his parents in 1862. Here he con-
tinued to attend school, until in 1873,
he accepted a position as clerk in the
drug store of Webster Benner, on
Washington and Sixth avenue south,
where now stands the old Cataract
House. He worked there four years
acquiring complete knowledge of the
drug business. In 1873 he embarked
in the drug business for himself in
that city, and remained in that bust
ness until he came to Redwood Falls
in 1884, purchasing the stock of H. j.
Loud, under the GAZETTE office. When
the r. w. Sears building was put up
on Washington avenue his stock was
moved into that building, and: Mr..
Peck has done business there ever
since. He has been alderman of the
city up to the past week, and has been
prominent member as we'll as secre-
tary of the Redwood Falls Driving
Club.
He was married in 1880 to Miss
Eva Boynton, of Minneapolis, his
present wife.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county commissioners conclud-
ed their January session last Saturday,
after meeting last five days. As will
be seen by the minutes published else
where F. w. Philbrick was chosen
chairman for the ensuing year, and
various committees appointed to as
sumo county responsibilities. Several
school district boundaries were
changed, and several applications for
changes were received and will be act
ed upon at the July meeting.
Probably the most important action
taken was the appropriation for $500
to pay S. L. Pierce, who is acting as
special county attorney during the
trials of Mr.. Madigan, to reimburse
Mr.. Pierce for services already and
about to be rendered.
The checking up of the accounts of
the county auditor and treasurer
showed a balance of $26, $500 in the
hand of the county treasurer, leaving
the county in very good shape at the
present time. The Belview bridge re-
pairing across the Minnesota river
cost $500, and the commissioners vot-
ed to stand $500 of the expense, Rem
vile county standing the balance.
The GAZETTE was made the official pa
per for the ensuing year, the Reveille
to print the same matter as the GA
zETTE, and to receive similar compens
alton.

WOUND up.
6erraghty's Fruit Store In the
Hands of Sheriff Blethen.

The affairs, both business and mat
rimonial, of Lawrence Gerraghty, the
Washington avenue fruit dealer, are
being wound up. On Tuesday even
ing Sheriff. Blethen put a new paddock
on the door, and took formal posses
sion in the name of DeCamp & Boyer,
of St. Paul, through their attorney,
Judge Bowers. DeCamp & Boyer are
fruit and commission merchants, and
closed the place on an attachment sued
out of the Municipal Court on claim
for 212.35. Sheriff Blethen is now
disposing of perishable goods.
It is an dahappy affair all around
for Gerraghty, and sympathy for him
is becoming stronger. Shortly after
this paper went to press last week he
was arrested on charge of arson, the
complaint setting forth that he set fire
to his own residence on the Tuesday
evening preceding. He was taken be-
fore the Police Court and his case was
continued until the 18th, next Satur-
day. His bail was fixed at $500. He
is in charge of Sheriff Blethen. In
the meantime Gerraghty's father-in-
law, Michael Blake, threatens to kill
Gerraghty, and the latter has him
placed under bonds in the sum of 800
to keep the peace.
Gerraghty has been strongl y addict
ed to the use of liquor since he first
suspected bis wife Of being untrue to
him, and it is while under the influence
of it that he becomes desperate. He
purchased revolver one day during
the past week, walked down below the
falls and there attempted to put an
end to his life, but he says that the
gun would not go off, and he returned
to his fruit store.
It has been suspected for several
days past that Gerraghty's brother-in-
law, Elmer Blake, has been giving him
whisky on purpose to assist in the ru-
lining of Gerraghty, who has been
blacklisted at the saloons. Chief
Crooks has been keeping watch of
Blake, as consequence, and last Mon
day secured the necessary evidence to
warrant the arrest. Blake was brought
before Police Judge French, found
guilty. fined $25 and costs, or impris-
oned in the Nicollet county Jail for 60
days. The fellow, very brazenly, took
the latter sentence, and Sheriff Bleth
en- took him to the pen Tuesday. Judge
French administered a severe roast to
Blake, in sentencing him, and the on
ly regret the people will have is that
His Honor did not impose a more Sc
we're penalty.

MARTIN WANTS HIS FARM
Celebrated Suit Arises Out of the
Dittbenner Shooting SCrape.

Lind & Hagberg, of New Ulm, with
Randall & Randall, of Winona, the
former as attorneys, and the latter as
counsel, have commenced suit in the
district court of Redwood county fol-
Jakob Martin, against Ellanora Dit
benner, to quiet title to what was Mar
tins homestead in Morgan township
up to June Both, last.
The action recalls the celebrated
feud between Martin and his father-in-
law, John Dittbenner, resulting in
Martin being arrested on the charge OF
having fired shot at Dittbenner with
intent to kill on the 10Th day of June
last. The lengthy complaint in this
celebrated action first sets forth de-
scription of the property Martin
claims title to,and which he held until
driven therefrom in duress and i'll
treatment, and then values it at over
$1,000. His wife's maiden name was
Rosa Dittbenner, sister to Ellanora.
The complaint then continues to set
forth that on June 10Th, John Dit
benner, in collision with his son AL
bert, and daughter Rosa, entered into
conspiracy to fraudulently deprive
Martin of his property aud to cause
him to leave the State. On that day
John Dittbenner made complaint in
Justie Kinman's court, by which Mar
tin was charged with having deliber-
ately aimed and shot at John Dittben-
ner with intent to kill. Martin was ar
rested when he was very i'll, in fact,
suffering from Bright's disease, at the
time.
The complaint then continues and
charges that Dittbenner employed
County Attorney Madigan to aid and
abet him in carrying out the conspir-
acy, and though the attorney pretend
ed to act as county attorney he is OPP
emily charged with acting for the Dit
benners,and told Martin that he would
be sent to the Saltwater prison for the
rest of his natural life, or for long
term unless he conveyed bis farm to
Ellanora Dittbenner and leave the
State. In this he was seconded by
the Dittbenners. To further frighten
Martin, and cause him to execute the
deed it is charged that the county at
torney caused another criminal COM
plant to be drawn and threatened to
have him further prosecuted there
under.
Continuing, it is claimed that Mar
tin, without judgment or discretion,
and unable to understand his rights,
executed the deed, and after that he
was released from custody on the Or
der of the county attorney and sought
refuge with friends in Winona county.
He still claims to be ill over the fright
and duress at that time. Martin claims
that all charges made before Justice
Kinmau are false and untrue,and that
any consideration that might be stated
in the deed is false and fictitious, and
concludes in prayer asking that the
deed be annulled and that his proper
ty be restored to him.

John Mckinley, one of the three
McKinleys, of Duluth, who are inter-
esting themselves in the Redwood coal
fields, was seen by Duluth Herald
reporter last Saturday, and refused to
say anything in regard to their options
or prospecting in the coal fields, but
would not deny that such action was
contemplated by them. It appears
that the McKinleys have an oral op-
ton on about 800 acres of land around
the Alfred Moon mine, taking in all of
the Moon lands, the farm of Charles
Kenney's, the Hocketts, and Amos
Moons, the understanding being that
for every ton OF coal taken out the
land owners are to receive ten cents,
giving them about $500 per acre for
their land,providing coal is discovered,
and they still own the same. The
prospecters are working very quietly
in the matter, and it will be difficult
to get anything definite until the pa
pers are properly drawn and signed.
A GAZETTE reporter accompanied
w. R. Caswell to the mine during the
early part of the week, and while the
coal taken out is not first class it is of
kind that will burn and give heat.
The miners, five in number, are in
about $50 feet, working in three differ
ent rooms, taking coal from all of
them, and selling it as fast as mined.
The veins dip, and grow smaller and
larger, the smallest place yet found

1t would appear, then, that since the be

ceased to decline. 1t declined constantly
through the operation Of the Mckinley
tariff. which imposed such Il duty upon
wool as 20 make it impossible for Ameri-
can manufacturs to compete successfully
in quality with their foreign rivals. Thus
the American wool market was virtually
dead, the factories closed and no wool
was sold, though the nominal prices still
had the duty added.
When the duty was removed there was,
of course, "A drop in these prices. That
was the purpose of removing the duty, to
enable our manufacturers to buy Their
raw material at its normal price. But the
effect of this was at once to revive manu-
facture, and So in spite of the large stocks

Il am Il democrat is 4 tawdry motto
The question is what sort of democrat are
you:
What is it to he a democrat or reruh-
lican, if it is only a question Of office,
spells and plumber:
There is plenty of talent in the halls of
Congress. What we need is unfaltering
courage at the post of duty.
1t is far better to have Il principle de
featcd than compromise it.
We must have organization and disci-
pline in politics, but honesty and patriot
ism will supply the place of both of them.
Let the people instruct the leaders and
woe unto the manager who thinks that he
is greater than his party.
Party harmony is not always the token
of strength. When there is disagreement
and dissenson then there is chance for
honest men.
We all say we are for Grover Cleveland.
That is very easily said The question is,
will we stand up in Congress and pro
ton in our own DISTRICTS that it is rob
berry to impoyeriSh the many SO rs to en-
