Carthy, three prominent and substantial
citizens of Madelia and the immediate
neighborhood, were in Mankato Friday
afternoon, says the Free Press, for the
purpose of securing $4,000 with which
to reimburse the farmers who have had
grain in the Madelia Farmers Ware
house. They state that the manager has
been unfortunate in some private specu-
lations and sold 10000 bushels of wheat
and 1900 bushels of flax to meet the ex-
pense. The grain was the property of
the farmers, and the loss must be made
good That is why the three gentlemen
mentioned are borrowing Individually
$4,000 each. They state further that
the manager, who has heretofore enjoyed
the highest reputation, has agreed to
turn in all the property of which he is
possessed, to help meet the loss. It IS
expected that the stockholders will re-
lmburse the three who are standing un-
der now.
Judge Webber has denied the motion
of the State for a new trial in the case
of the county commissioners of Redwood
versus the Citizens Bank of Redwood
Falls, insolvent, and the bondsmen of
the bank as a. county depository. The
county had over $4,000 in the bank at
the time of the failure. In the SETTLE
ment of 1895 the county accepted pay
mont in draft on the Park National
Bank of New York in which the Citi-
zens' Bank mad no money. The draft
was afterwards redeposited. When the
case came up for trial Judge Weber in
structed the jury to return a verdict a.
ga,nst the bank, but in favor of the
bondsmen, holding that the obligations
of the, bond had been discharged when
the draft was accepted. The county will
appeal from the order denying new
trial, but Attorney Somerville who is
fighting the case fer the bondsmen is
sure Of. having Webber's decision sus-
tanned by the higher court. ~.
