Higher Prices.

Owing to the promise of another
heavy crop of small grains there is an
almost unprecedented demand for
binder Irvine this summer, and the
various factories throughout the
country are finding it hard work to
supply the trade. The binder, n Irvine
department at the prison iszoyerrun.
with orders They have shipped over
100000 pounds and have orders for
as much more unified. The prices
now have an upward tendency, and
the supply is apt to run short before
the season closes. The straw pro-
duction will be heavier this year than
for several years past, conseq uently
more Irvine will be needed. Orders
came in very slowly and the manu-
factories fell behind in their output.
Since then sisal and hemp have been
cornered by Eastern firms, which
tends to raise the price of Irvine con-
siderably. The price of manito fiber
remains about the same. On the
whole there will be no over-supply of
Irvine, and prices will be firmer and
higher, and no doubt remain so, I'M
less considerable damage should be.
suffered by crops before harvest time.
Farmers should take note of this and
hand in their orders for Irvine early.

Sewerage.

The main street sewerage plan pro-
jected by Mr., Stewart has been post
poned till fall, or possibly till early
next spring, owing to the litigation of
certain lots which will be benefit
ted by the sewer. Certain lots in the
village. bordering on the proposed
sewer have been in litigation for some
time and the rightful owner of them
will not be decided till October, hence
the donations from those lots cannot
be had until it is found out who is
the owner, and as the donations
amount to quite a sum, Mr.. Stewart
thinks it worth while to wait, and
says that AS soon as that matter is
settled he will take it up again, He
expresses great confidence in his plan
going through, and says that the
business men along the route of the
sewer heartily cooperate with him
and are doing everything that could
be expected of them to aid him.
Even if it is not built before next
spring, he thinks it can be built in
time to carry off the surplus water
and save the damage to cellars which
is yearly done by melting snow and
April showers.

BASE BALL.
The Season Opens in Morris
with the Sank Centre
Team.

| Il
The season has at last been opened
and the base ball enthusiast is now
inlhis glory. The first game on the
home diamond was played yesterday
with the Sank Centre team. The
latter team was not in very good con-
dition and did not expect to play yes
terday. as they had been playing
every day at the G. A. r. encamp-
ment at Sank Center But as long
as the game had been advertised
they consented to play. Notwith-
standing their condition they put up
good game The Morris boys all
came upeto the scratch in fine shape
and did their best. The feature of
the game was base running. The
game to-day is expected to hustle the
home boys. They will play to-day
and tomorrow. The following is
yesterdays score:

Many we're the disappointments in
the hearts of the base ball enthusiasts
last Thursday when it was learned
that the Milbank team failed to ma
terialize. Just as everyone was max
ing preparations to go to the grounds
and witness Morris swipe the dust off
the diamond with the Milbanks, Sec
rotary Spur received telegram an
nouncing that Milbank was unable to
come on account of sickness, but
which was interpretered to mean that |
their expected players did not arrive.
or that they were afraid to come in
contact with Morris heavy batters.
The contents of the telegram soon
got around town and everyone knew
there would be no game Many were
the expressions of regret and some
we're SO emphatic that there was no
such a thing as misunderstanding
them. 1t was generally thought that
the Milbank boys might at least have
been courteous enough to let them
know more than three or four hours
beforehand.
The Morris battery, Hoar and
Warner. played with the Graceville
team Sunday at Graceville against
and put up phenomenal
game. Hoar struck out thirteen men
and Clinton was unable to get hit
off of him, while Warner put up his
same old star game behind the bat
and stopped everything that came
near him. The score stood Is to | in
favor Of, Graceville, The work Of our
battery proved more than Chinese
puzzle to the Clinton boys as they
could not solve a single curve. Geo.
Howley played short stop for Grace
vile and also did good work.

Before Judge Brown.

Before Judge Brown.
Some interesting cases we're argued
and disposed of before Judge Brown
last Saturday, and among them were
the following:
Olson VS.. The Great Northern Rail
way company. This was a motion or
behalf of the defendant for new
trial. Our readers will remember
that Mr.. Olson was seriously injured
while engaged in coaling an engine
in the Morris yard of the defendant
The case was tried by Marshall A
Spooner for the plaintiff, resulting
in large verdict against the de-
fendant. A motion for a new trial
was made and argued last Saturday
by CY Wellington for the defendant
and Mr.. Spooner for the plaintiff.
Judge Brown took the motion under
advisement.
The Board of County Commission
ers of Pope county VS.. Rud, was an
other case before Judge Brown and
was also taken under advisement.
County Attorney Oftshun represented
one side of this case and Lewis G..
Spooner the other.
Another case was Dryer vs.. Wolff
ct al. before the court on demurrer,
which was argued and submitted, but
not decided.
The case that created the most in
terest was the State of Minnesota VS..
W. D. Lillye, which, at its beginning,
was quite lengthily reported in the
TRIBUNE. The prisoner was arrested
upon the complaint of John Larson,
charged with having committed the
crime of rape on Tilda Trulson at the
home of her father in the township
of Swan Lake on May 25th ult. JUS
tice Gillespie issued the warrant on
which the defendant was arrested
and lodged in Jail. After boarding
with the sheriff for few days, until
County Attorney had an.opportunity
to examine into the merits of the case
against him and prepare the states
case for trial, the prisoner was brought
before Justice Gillespie for prelim
mary hearing. Meanwhile Lillye had
Lewis C.~Spooner. to de-
fend his case, and believing Justice.
Gillespie was not impartial, took a
change of venue to Justice Murphy.
When the case came on for trial be-
fore Justice Murphy the prisoners
attorney argued that Justice Murphy
had no jurisdiction of the prisoner
because of error in the change of
venue. Justice Murphy decided the
point against the prisoner, holding
that he had jurisdiction, and the trial
proceeded till near midnight of that
day, and until afternoon Of the next
day, when the states case was com
pleted and rested. The prisoner of
fered no evidence, his attorney claim
ing the state had failed to prove a.
case against the prisoner. After
much argument Justice Murphy de-
cided against the prisoner and COM
mitted him to the county Jail to await
the action of the October grand jury.
Thereupon the prisoner petitioned
for writ of habeas corpus, and the
hearing occurred before Judge Brown
last Saturday The prisoners case
was argued by Lewis G. Spooner, and
the states case by County Attorney
Bicknell. Judge Brown quickly dis
posed of the matter by ordering the
sheriff to give the prisoner his liberty,
holding that he should not have been
bound over to the grand jury. Lillye,
after suffering in jail several weeks
without cause, was pleased to be
again at liberty and Immediately
started for his home at Wahpeton,
N. D.

State Auditor Dunn was in town last
Friday for the purpose of selling or
disposing of the undivided one-half
of section 16, state land. He had
been up the line making sales all last
week, which sales were made at the
hour of 10 a. H., and upon arriving
here he proceeded to make the sale
at 10 a. M, not stopping to think that
it was advertised for 3p. m. Another
thing which misled him was that the
st. Paul Dispatch had it set for 10 a.
m. The mistake was not noticed in
time to get him back on the other
train, consequently the sale will have
to made over. He was accompanied
by Mr.. Warner.
