RANKIN is COMING.
The MOlder Orator of PittSburg
Is Scheduled for Little Falls
October 6.

Duluth News Tribune: Duluth
Republicans are pleased to see that
A. G. Rankin. the Molder orator, ia
announced to speak in several places
in the Sixth district. He will he at
st. Cloud Oct. 5, Little Falls Oh the
9th, and will speak in Duluth for the
second time on the 7th. His Duluth
speech accomplished much good and
there was such a demand for him to
appear here again during the cam
paign that the request was made OF
the national committee and was
granted. A desperate attempt was
made to keep the labOring men away
from Mr.. Rankin's meeting mere u
few weeks ago. He was described
as a fake labor leader, and even ac-
cused of treachery. 1t was said that
he had been expelled from the
Molders' union of Pittsburg, but the
allegations proved to be lies, and the
upshot of the attack has been that
the Democrats ct al. threw a good
sized boomerang when they made 1T.
Mr.. Rankin assisted to organize the
Federation of Labor and for years
was a prominent Knight Of Labor
in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Rankin was
surprised at the attack which was
made on him in this city, but he was
not In the least disconnected. 1t is
known that his enemies there have
been trying to get some information
which they can make campaign
capital out of in returning to the as
sault on Mr.. Rankin. hut they have
presented nothing, though ample
time has elapsed.

the account had been settled bv the
acceptance by Burton OF two notes
signed by Ed. Teller. as payment OF
the account. Hansen claimed that
the notes were accepted in settlement,
and that he was given credit ON the
books for the amount. Burton testi-
fled :thnt he did not accept the notes
as payment of the account, but for
collections, which he failed to accom-
plish. The case was tried before
Justice Gaudet ana was decided in
favor OF Burton. Hansen appealed
to the district court Nnd the case was
decided in his favor. Jayne, MOrri-
son & Lewis wera attorneys for the
plaintiff. and F.. W. Lyon appeared

THE ROYALTON MILL.
A Legal Battle Over Its
Possession and Owner
ship.
Office in Lindbergh Block,

The Kobe Touring mill at Royalton
has been the source OF litigation
more than once in the courts, and
another series Of suits is now pend
ing. Kobe huilt the mill about
eight years ago, on railroad land,
and it i. claimed that he later lost
all title to the property through the
foreclosure OF mortgages and liens.
About four years ago the sher1ft
took possession of the mill for the
railroad company, and A. M. Lara
wav secured titles under the mort
gage and liens. Laraway had lease
of the railroad land at the time the
sheriff took possession, and 1T Is
claimed that the possession Tor the
railroad company gave Laraway
possession. When the sheriff lett the
mill Kobe again entered it, and 1t
has been operated some since by
parties supposed to represent Kobe.
This summer members Of the Inter
state Milling company. at Little
Falls, made arrangements to buy the
property from Laraway, and as his
agents took possession OF the mill a
few weeks ago. Kobe regatned pos
session, and then the Interstate peo-
ple obtained a temporary Injunction,
preventing Kobe fromenterfnR upon
the property, or interfering with the
Interstate peoples possession OF the
property. The sheriff again took
possession, and the Interstate peo-
ple have since occupied the mill. used
the elevator part in handling grain,
and prepared to operate the mill.
Kobe, through his attorneys, r. S.
Clark and G. w. Stewart, protests
against an Injunction to prevent him
from having possession Of the mill.
and claims that the possession
OF the Interstate people q few
weeks ago was by stealth, and that
he has claimed and practically main
tained possession up to the time the
sheriff lately took it. Kobe claims
rightful possession and ownership.
anil insists ON retaining possession
until the title is determined. The
Interstate people claim that they
had possession, and that Kobe took
forcible possession from them. They
ask that he be compelled to allow
them peaceable possession.
The case comes before the court
Friday for argument.
Lindbergh, Blanchard & Lindbergll
are attorneys for the Interstate, who
are representing Laraway in this
action.
Present possession is quite import
ant, and the wheat is now being
marketed rapidly.
