was TO have been put on trial on the
charge of having committed a felonious
assault on May Roop, an s-years- old
girl, before Judge Yerkes, in quarter
sessions court No. >, in Philadelphia,
Thursday, but owing 10 the absence Of
the child's father, who now resides in

Mr. Graham stated to the court that
Roop had been summoned before the
Senatorial Investigating Committee,
and gave testimony there that the in
dictment against Saddington had been
found in April, 1891: that tho case had
been called three or four times for
trial; that it had not Been tried; that
the case was against man who is in
the employ of the city, on the police
force, and intimating that the case had
been delayed,
Mr. Graham said he had received a
letter fron Director Of Public Safety
Beitler, asking that the case be set
down for trial at once, in order that the
facts connected with it might be made
known to the public, and, as a result
of that letter and his own investiga-
tions, he had set the case for trial on
Thursday. A registered letter was sent
TO Mr. Roop, who is now resident of
this city, on the 26th instant, asking
that he be present in court Thursday

ing that 1t was difficult for him to get
away from his work, but asked that
the case be surely tried, and stated
that DR. Wchner of Germantown was
the only witness he had Mr.. Graham
stated to the court that he had had the
name of Roop called several times,
but he had failed to respond.

A Communication.
Editor Willmar Tribune.

Editor Willmar Tribune.
The populists of the fifth district of
this county are to be congratulated
on their good selection of candidate
for county commissioner. The
nominee, Mr. John S. !Tremberg is q
worthy representative of the large
progressive agricultural class of
Kandiyohi Co. Being man Of brood
views, intelligent and honest, he is a
man on whom they people can rely
in every way.
Mr.. Tromberg has taken an active
part in the reform struggle of this
county ever since he located here, and
has, at every opportunity stood up
for what he considered to be right and
true.
John S. Tromberg was born in
Denmark 1868, thus being now in the
flower of manhood. He immigrated to
this country in 1880, settled down in
Mcleod Co., MINI. and moved with
his family in 1883 to Lake Lillian
where he has ever since resided. The
people of town of East Lake Lillian
soon realized that they in Mr.. from
berg had a man of ability and honor
and in 1894 he was elected assessor of
the town, to which Office he was re-
elected in 1895 and 1896 nearly unan-
imously.
When in the later years it became
evident that the dairy industry WAS
more profitable than wheat raising,
Mr.. Tromberg was one of those men
who worked increasingly until a CO.
operative creamery was erected, and
been prominent member Of the
Board of Directors of this establish
ment, the success of the institution is
for a great deal due to his energy and
sound Judgment. Last spring Mr..
Tromberg was elected director of the
school board in Dist. No. 81, almost
unanimously, with u votes against 2,
and his energy and sense of right and
justice has already manifested itself
within the district. Mr.: Tromberg
has not been seeking the Office for
which he is nominated, when first Of
fered, he refused to. accept it thinking
that an older and ADLER man would be
to prefer, but finally yielded to the re-
quest of his many friends and when
at the recent caucus vote was taken
on the matter he out of q votes re-
ceived 10 to his two opponents re-
