Warden Wolfer, being seen at the
prison yesterday in regard to the arti-
Gle published in the Farm Implement
News, of Chicago, relative to the bind
ing Irvine plant, had this to say:
There are several statements in the
article that are not true. 1t says
among other things, that the season S
supply of hemp purchased from the Ne
braska Binding Irvine company, at
Fremont, Neb., cost over four cent:
per pound, when, as a matter of fact
it cost 1910 per hundred f. o. b. at Ere
mont. The general inference from
statements made would indicate that
the state had large amount of worth
less farmers paper, which is also not
true. Our collections have been fairly
good, considering the dull times. What
still remains uncollected is in such
shape that it is believed by proper and
careful handling, can be nearly all
collected. There is no question but
that the state is working at disad-
vantage in the manufacture of soft
fiber Irvine at present prices, in COM
petition with sisal and MANILA, as
long as hard fiber can be purchased at
such a low price. Gov. Nelson fully
outlined this in his message to the
legislature, which is strictly in har-
nony with the present condition OF the
markets. His recommendation in re-
lation thereto are sound and, believe,
in accordance with the best interests
of all concerned

tistic and financial success. Great Gre
dit is due to Misses O'Leary, Collins
and Whitaker, of st. Paul; Miss Shep-
ard, Of Saltwater, and Messrs. Gehan,
Morrow, Heating and Burke, of ST.
Paul, and Nicholas S. Murphy, of
Duluth, who rendered a number of
high-class selections in a highly en-
tertaining manner, and contributed
their valuable services voluntarily. One
of the best numbers on the programme
was that rendered by the German
double quartette of this city. On the
whole the concert was one of the best
ever given in Saltwater, and the large
audience went away thoroughly
pleased.
An action has been brought in the
district court by A. T. jerks, E. c.
Butts and Fayette Marsh VS.. j. N.
Searles and F. w. Gail, asking that
SearleS and Calls bill of services,
allowed by the district court, while at
torneys for j. G. German, receiver of
Seymour, Sabin & Co., amounting to
$6,2+46 so be set aside. The complaint al
leges that the transfer of Seymour,
Sabin & Co.'s property was wrongfully
made, and that SearIes & Gail were
not entitled to remuneration. The
complaint also asks that they be re-
strained from proceeding further
against the bondsmen, who are the
plaintiffs in the case.
The action of Isaac Staples VS.. Schu-
lenburg- Boeckeler Lumber Company,
David Bronson, garniShee, in which the
plaintiff was defeated in the district
court, has been appealed to the SUI
preme court. The action was brought
to test the validity of the assign
ment. In the action of Robert j.
Turnbull brought to restrain Joseph
Crick from proceeding to the collec-
ton of claim which he pretends to
hold against Turnbull for logs deliv-
cred at the Turnbull mill, Judge Willis
ton has granted the injunction prayed
for by the plaintiff.
A farmer from the southern end of
this county in the city yesterday re-
ports that D. J. Kennedy, eX-assistant
postmaster, who escaped from Deputy
Marshal Smalley Saturday night, is ly-
ing at the home of a farmer there
with both feet badly frozen, the re-
suit of his escapade. This story is not
authentic, but may be true.
