county from the groom's father. The

Lake Benton News: Redwood
Falls has for some time receiving
more free advertising than any other
place in Minnesota. The Idaily press
of the state has daily carried the news
of some new find in the way of rich
coal, iron, gold and silver mines found
there, until it has become somewhat
of chestnut. But the correspondents
of the Twin City press always man
ages to serve up the announcement of
a new discovery in such novel and
interesting ways that we involuntarily
find ourselves reading the accounts
day after day. The latest is a long
account of the finding of the mines
by the aid of spirit medium. We
would like to see the individual who
can invent so many fairy tales, and
manage to work them off on the press
of the state.
The Madigan case was argued be-
fore the Supreme Court last Thurs
day, ex-senator Peck, of Shakopee~
appearing on behalf of the defendant
and appellant and S. L. Pierce on:
behalf of the State. Senator Peck
dwelt on two points chiefly, stated in.
his brief already published. One of
the points was to the effect that the
introduction of the bond of Romnes
in the attachment proceedings was
wrong, as it tended to prejudice the
jury, the bond being forgery, and
the jurors possibly thinking that if
man would commit forgery he would
also commit perjury. The other point
was on the excessive drinking on part
OF the jurymen, more especially Pickle,
who it claimed was frequently 'sin the
wind" during the trial. The ex-Sen-
ator dwelt at length upon these two
points, and the court room reverber-
ated with his deep and stentorian
tones. S. L. Pierce followed the
points laid down in the brief very care
fully and did not depart from them at
all. He was very forcible in his re-
marks and scorned the attempt to
show that Pickle was intoxicated dur
ing the trial. The Court, as is usual,
took the case under advisement, and
it may be month before the decision
