ORDER OF THE GARTER.
It's Alleged Ballroom Origin q Piece Of
Legendary Romance,

Its Alleged Ballroom Origin Piece OF
Legendary Romance,
The origin of the order of the Golden
Fleece is, like that of our own garter,
shrouded in mystery, says the London
Telegraph, Very few modern archae-
ologists attach any credence to the
vulgar tradition. wholly unsupported
by any authority, that, at a court ball
given by Edward III. lady, supposed
to be the countesso of Salisbury, dropped
her garter, and the king, taking it up,
and observing some of his courtiers to
smile, as though they thought he had
not obtained this favor merely by acct
dent, exclaimed in a loud voice: "Honi
soft qui NAL y pense."
There is another opinion which
traces the origin of this order, which,
according to the learned Selden, lex
ceeds in majesty, honor and fame ali
/ the chivalrous orders of the world, to
Richard Occur de Lion having, upon
the occasion of some warlike expedi-
ton during his wars in Palestine,
chosen a leather-thonged garter as
the distinctive mark of his partisans.
Yet another theory ascribes the foun-
dation of the order to the fact that Ed
ward, at the battle of Crecy, issued his
garter as signal for battle, which,
proving successful, determined him to
institute the order in memory of the
event.
Both these opinions are to a certain
extent feasible, and the first is mate
rally fortified by the well-known his
toric fact that, when the Crusaders cap
tured st. Jean d'Acre in nocturnal
assault, the knights Of the Christian
army were ordered to wear a strap of
white leather bound round the leg
under the left knee in order to distin-
T17iSh them from tho inhdaIc

JERSEY SHORE in Lyeoming county,

that the region thereabouts was first
settled by a colony from New Jersey.
The name given by the Pennsylvanians
half in jest survived the name Of

and when the place was incorporated
in 1925. Jersey Shore became its official

HISS VEDDER
Passes Through the City-=Talks OF
the Hayward HOldup.

Miss Vedder, who acquired consider
able newspaper notice by her trip
from Minneapolis in order to avoid
testifying in the Hayward case, passed
through the city Friday afternoon
on the Omaha road on her return
home from Iowa, where she has been
latterly. She rode with we'll known
Minneapolis contractor as far as this
city, and this gentleman stopped over
in Mankato. He had long converse
tion with her, and as he has known
her for the past ten years, she told
him freely what she knew about the
case. Now that the jury has rendered
it's verdict, there was no danger of
her being called upon to testify, and
she was returning home.
AS the Minneapolis contractor re-
ports the conversation, it was in sub
stance as follows: If she had been
called upon to testify, her statements
would have been to Harry Hayward's
detriment. On the night of the hold
up, last April, she and Miss Cling
were in Harry's company, and in the
course of the evening he tried to sell
first to her and then to Miss Cling a
diamond ring worth $3.50 for S75.
Later on the party was held up by a
man who was not Adry Hayward but
much smaller. He held revolver in
one hand while he searched Hayward's
pockets with the other. Hayward did
not seem to be disturbed, nor did he
try to oppose the robber. Miss We'd
der now believes that Harry and the
robber were accomplices, and that
Harry wanted to sell the ring, and it
would be stolen back by the robber.

TORE HOG DISEASE.
DIR. Standish Called to CerescO to In
vestigate New Outbreak.

A delegation of farmers from Ceres
co visited the city Thursday and con-
suited with DR.. VIM. Standish in re-
gard to an outbreak of some unknown
disease among the hogs there. The
disease made it's appearance some
three or four days ago, and thus far
from % to SO hogs have died. The di-
sease has appeared on several different
farms, but whether it is cholera the
farmers did not know. They also
said it is rumored that disease has
made it's appearance among the hogs
between Madelia and St. James.
DR.. Standish went to Madelia at
noon and will investigate into the
matter at Ceresco. He states that it
is very desirable to stamp out the di-
sease, whatever it is, as soon as posi-
BILE, before it has chance to spread
further. He says that the disease is
evidently contagious one, and that
unless the farmers exercise great care
they are apt to lose many hogs.

TWO DAMAGE SUITS
LOUIS WALL SUES TWO Ar1BOY
VILLAGE OFFICIALS.

One Suit is for $4,000 and the Other
for $4,000, for Alleged rlalicious
Prosecution and False ImprisOn-
ment.
Two important damage suits have
been commenced in the district
court by Louis Walz. One suit is for
$4,000 damages against George IL.
Brush, of Amboy, and the other is for
$4,000 damages against B. o. Kill
mer, also of Amboy. Pau & Young
and Hughes, Rice & Hughes have been
retained by Mr.. Walz,
On Feb. 25th, Mr.. Walz was arrest
ed at Amboy on the charge of con-
Quoting a house of ill fame. Two
women were arrested on the same
charge, but when the cases came up
in court, Walz was discharged as there
did not appear to be a case against
him. The cases against the women
were dismissed, and they pleaded
guilty to disorderly conduct and paid
their fines.
Mr.. Walz claims that his arrest was
not justifiable and that it was piece
of malicious prosecution. Mr.. Kill
mer is president of the village council,
and the complaint IN his case charges
malicious prosecution. Mr.. Brush is a
village marshall and the complaint in
the action against him charges him
with malicious prosecution and false
imprisonment. These cases will
doubtless be on the calendar for the
May term OF court.
Mr.. Walz has had much trouble
since he located at Amboy several
years ago. He has been arrested on
several occasions on the charge Of SELL
ing liquor without license, and
he was tried before Judge Sew
erance on one of these charges
this week. There is also a
similar case pending against him in
the municipal court. He is now try
ing to get back at those who are after
him.
Attorney Young, in speaking of the
suits, said today: "The marshal broke
into Mr. .Walz,s building without a
warrant, which he had no right to do
unless he saw that Walz was violating
the law. He got the warrant after
wards, but Walz was discharged, as
there was no evidence to hold him.
The suits are brought on account OF
this and malicious prosecution and
false imprisonment"

CITY ELECTION.
1t nust be Held Under the Australian
SYSTEM.
the case.


City Attorney Young holds that the
municipal election this spring, as
we'll as all township elections, must
be held under the provisions of
the Australian ballot law. In
this city the judges of cleo
tion must meet two weeks before cleo
tion and on the Tuesday next preced-
ing such election, from 900 a. M. to
900 p. M, in the polling places, for
the purpose of correcting the registry
list. The municipal ballots shall be
on red tinted paper, and shall be fur
nished by the city recorder. The
names to go on the ballot must be filed
with the city clerk to be placed upon
the ballot at least ten days before
election. With each name to be plac-
ed on this ballot, SIS must be paid in
to the city treasury.
1t will be seen that there is not
much time to spare in calling the
caucuses and conventions, as the cleo
tion takes place three weeks from
Tuesday.

The long-drawn out case of Harry
Hayward for the murder of Catherine

which leaned towards conviction.
He said that there was more

WHEAT Is HELD.
One Estimate Places the Amount at
Thirty=five Per Cent.

Thirty=five Per Cent.
The extremely low prices paid for
wheat during the past year have
caused many of the farmers who were
able to do so to store their crop and
hold it for better prices. Mr.. D. A.
Little estimates the amount of last
years crop still in the hands of the
farmers of Blue Earth county at thir-
ty to thirty-five per cent. This means
a good deal of wealth.
w. r. B. Smyth has advices that
more corn than ever before will be
put in this spring. Said he: "Of
course it all depends upon the
weather, which no man can gamble
on. If the spring opens early and
favorable for seeding, about as much
small grain as usual will be put in,
but if the weather is unfavorable,
then more corn will be planted. l
look for slight falling off in the
acreage of wheat. There may be a
very slight increase in the acreage Of
barley in this immediate vicinity, but
elsewhere considerable barley is al
ready being raised, notably in Winona
county. The crop prospects in the
south are more favorable, but there
is not enough winter wheat raised in
this section to make much difference,
whether the conditions be favorable
or otherwise"

CLEARED UP.

Some time last winter there ap-
peared an article in the columns of
the FREE PRESS which purported to
clear up the mystery overhanging a
death which occurred in boarding
house on South Front street several
years ago and which was always sup
posed up to that time to be case of
suicide and probably was. The story
went on to state that some time ago a
party died out in the country near
Madelia, who just before his death
confessed having committed the
murder. Today a gentleman in
this city informed the FREE PRESS
that the man whom the article
seemed pointed to as having COM
mitted the crime, while hav-
ing moved into the county as
stated in the article, died some
four months before the supposed
crime was committed, so that he
could not have had any connection
whatever. He was man who always
bore a good reputation, and there was
no reason whatever to suspect him of
committing so henious crime, and
the FREE PRE- is glad of this oppor-
tunity to remove any suspicion which
might unjust y rest upon his memory
as a result of the statements in the
article in question, and which was
published as an ordinary matter of
news, with no desire to reflect in any
way upon an innocent person.
