The soldier boys that Patterson had
depended upon TO help him get even
with Flynn departed for home quite warm
under the collar. They claimed that it
was the understanding that Patterson
was to see that they had transportation
to and from court ; but that, when he
found their testimony dldn't suit him, he
refused to take them home in his wagon
unless they paid HIM for it. The soldiers
hired rig and driver to take them home
There was awful trouble in the Sivalia
dornicile. over at Hampton, the other
evening. The father of the family, his
better half and the olive branches had
been away visiting. They reached home
after dark. AS they drove up they dis
covered that the front door had been
broken open. Eugene. started to ascer.
tain who OF what it was that had demol-
lshed the door of his castle, and at the
threshold he was startled by the clanking
Of chains. Mental visions of desperate
convicts escaping from the Bismarck pen
were his and he paused to consider the
situation. Presently he tiptoed into the
house. While searching for match he
grasped something which proved to be
the tail of the family COW. She had
broken in the door and had gone through
all parts of the house, devouring what
ever came handy that suited her taste.
The clanking noise was male by her hob
BILE chains. 1t does not appear in evi-
dence that Mr.. S.. "swore," but the lnti-
nation IS made that he strongly
"aff1rmed.
The Record will again state til at its
former assertions that the costs IN the
numerous trials of Benz would fall upon
the county have proved true in every par
ticular. Benz pays fine of $25, and
the county of Emmons pays out several
hundred dollars In costs. While a con
syiction carries the costs with it, it should
not be forgotten that the county pays
the costs and then RECEIVERS from the de-
fendant if he has any property above his
exemptions; but his exemptions are the
same as against any other judgment. II
was thought by . great many that If Benz
was convicted his bondsmen could be
held responsible for the costs, and that
such costs could be recovered from John
sMcCrory and Val. Benz This is not q
fact. Their bond simply guaranteed that
Benz would appear in district court on a
certain day at a certain hour. When ne
did so their liability ceased. 1t will thus
be seen that & good many of the.citizens
of this county "will be long time dead"
before the county gets back the money
that has been ''blown in" through Mr..
,Parker's efforts to magnify a. molehill
into mountain.
Corkey weeps last week because the
Record man has seen fit to associate with
most anybody in Winona except crooked
little hypocrltes of the Patterson stripe.
The writer will say that newspaper
mans business, If he expects to give the
news, leads him to comingle with all
sorts of folks. But we venture the
assertion that the best people of the
Winona neighborhood will say that we
have never met any residents of that
place who are not superior in truthful
ness, honesty and decency to the measly
little wretch that committed rank per-
fury In an effort to save another of his
kind by getting on criminal jury a
year ago. Furthermore, we will state.
that on the occasion referred to by
Corkey there could certainly have been
