I am of the opinion that the election
is void on account of above mentioned
irregularities. In any event if suit
was instituted such doubt would
arise as would probably prevent the
negotiability of said bonds. The
notice to bidders for the purchase of
the proposed electric light bonds pub
lished in the FREE PRESS of issue of
July %, 1895, signed by Calvin Smith,
city recorder, is also defective in that
it does not specify when said bonds
will mature.
1.-THE above is from lawyer of high
legal attachments of this city, whose
name we are at present restrained
from giving. 1t reveals series of
errors in the matter of preparing for
the bond election, which raises seri-
Gus doubt as to it's legality which it
would be we'll to carefully inquire
into before further procedure in the
matter.-ED.

DROWNED AT ST. PETER.

The Herald gives the following &C
count of the drowning of young
man whose name is presumed to be
VIM. Houkried, in the Minnesota
river on Tuesday morning about ten
O'Clock. The scene of the drowning
was just south of the pontoon bridge
which leads to Kasota. The fellow
was member of party of campers
who were located in that vicinity and
with companion was riding one of
the horses around in the river. The
horse struck one of those deceptive
holes which are numerous in the
river and reared up, when the young
man slipped from the horse and sank
into fifteen feet of water. Being I'M
able to swim he disappeared quickly.
His associates seem to know but lit
tie about him save that his home is
at Eden Valley, MINI. He was about
"a years of age. The body was taken
to Klein's undertaking rooms. The
coroner's inquest developed nothing
new.

The trial of VIM. Powers on the
charge of selling liquor without a
license, at Amboy, was concluded in
the district court this forenoon, and
the case was given to the Jury at a
few moments before nine o'clock.
The state proved that Powers had
government license to sell liquor
and that he had couple of gallons of
whisky. 1t introduced evidence to
show that Albert Denny, in the
presence of reputable citizen of Am
boy, purchased the bottle of whisky
in evidence of Powers on the day in
question.
The defense undertook to prove an
alibi, land put on several witnesses who
gave evidence tendinguto show that
Powers was in Mankato on the day
upon which it is alleged that Denny
purchased the whisky of him.
The case was well argued by both
sides.
This is the last case to be tried at
the present term of court, and when
the jury Games in an adjournment
sine die may be taken. All of the
jurors not on the panel were excused
for the term.
The cases against Louis Walz and
James Mullen were continued until
the December term of court.

VS.. Riley & Zempel was set for trial
by the court Aug. 18th. Judge Cad

CerescO and Decoria Each Furnishes
One


One.
The school election last Saturday
night was warm one in more than
one district in the county. In dis
trlct No. Is, in Ceresco, John Wood
hall, father of the base ball player of
that name, was elected treasurer over
Michael Russell by one majority. Mr..

claiming that two voters from an
other district were present and parti-
cipated in the election, and that four
more votes were cast than there were
people present at the meeting. Both
he and Mr.. WoodhaIl have qualified
as treasurer, and to further cOmpli-
cate matters the old treasurer, w. d.
Johnson, refuses to turn over the books
to either one, claiming the right to
hold over until it has been determined
who his successor is. Mr.. Woodhall
has consulted Attorney Cray on the
matter and will take steps to secure
recognition.
In district 152 in Decoria, known as
the Larkin district, Henry Weber

ity. His opponent claims that
fraudulent votes were cast, in
