State VS. Larkin.

In the case of State VS. Larkin,
.. S. Nelson of Luverne, appeared
for the State by request Of O. W.
Freeman district attorney, and G.
NJ Crandall assisted by G. W.
Wilson, for the defendant. The
hearing was before Squire Hid
reth, Tuesday afternoon. W.
w. Loveless the prosecuting
witness and F. Spaulding Of
Luverne, witness for the state
were examined after which, the
defendants attorney moved that
the action be dismissed for want
of sufficient evidence to hold his
client under the charge alleged in
the complaint, and that the word
wound" as construed by the law
meant bodily and permanent
injury to hold the defendant for
assault in the second degree, and
that the injuries suffered by the
plaintiff were not sufficient to sus-
tain the complaint citing authori-
ties to substantiate his argument.
Mr.. Nelson followed at some
length Offering authorities to
sustain his answer that it, was
customary in all cases of this
character to make a similar
motion, and that he had produced
sufficient evidence to hold the
defe ndant on the complaint, say
ing, how numerous assaults of this
kind would be made if rowdism
was to be permitted, by rufaans
being allowed to pound person
until their clothing was saturated
with blood, and then be allowed
their freedom by merely paying a
small fine. The justice denied
the motion and held the defendant
to the grand jury under $500,
bond which was procured.

school for nurses, the object Of which
Is is ct young 3 mon 7 and women for
tie profession of nursing. They not

The course of study is graded and
extends over two years, consisting OF
lectures and practical instruction in
all the details Of tho care of the sick
and insane. Young men and women
taking this two years course Of train
ing receive an amount Of culture, in
dependent Of their training as nurses,
which will fit them for any occupa-
ton they may choose to take up after
graduation, and it>has the great ad-
vantage OF teaching them to be or
derly, methodical and accurate, be-
sides developing in them the power
of self-control.
During their undergraduate term
of service, men are paid $500 dur
ing the first month and this amount
is gradually increased according to
merit until after six months they are
paid $500. Graduates may for
good and extended service be paid
$500 per month. Women are paid
$12OO the first month to be gradually
increased to $500 after six months.
Graduates may be paid $500.
Board, lodging and washing without
expense to nurses.
All applicants should be between
1s to 20 years of age, free from dis
ease or deformity, and they are ex-
pected to enter for the full course of
instruction. Applicants on being
accepted will be expected to serve
two months on probation, after
which, if their service has been sat-
isfactory they will on agreeing to re-
main for the full course of instruction
be accepted as pupil nurses. Pupils
may enter the school at any time.

A Resolution.

The following resolution was unan-
imonsly adopted at the Union Tenn
perance meeting of Sunday afternoon
July II.
RESOLVED: That it is the sense OF
this meeting that the fierce assault
made last Monday upon one of our
fellow citizens w. W. Loveless, be
cause of his just and truthful condem-
nation of the public exhibition of the
saloon business on our streets on the
Fourth of July, was malicious and
shameful display of saloon brutality
And further we extend to him our
sincere sympathy that he should thus
have suffered in the righteous defense
of our cannon cause.

The attention of officer Anderson
was called tt6 y case Of lunacy on
the street yesterday and he immed'
lately placed Chauncy Plum under
arrest. He had made threats to a
number of citizens that he would
shoot certain young lady and then
himself. When arrested two half
pint bottles of liquor and 81 caliber
revolver was found on his person al
so two letters one unsealed addressed
to his father at Morton Ill. and one
to Mr.. Lane of Worthington. The
letter to his father was to inform his
parents of what he had done and for
the person finding his dead body to
send the same to his parents.
The young man is rs years S)d and
has an interest in a farm IN HerseY
township he has been here about two
years and has worked for the tenan
on 81. G. Shepherds farm. His reas-
on for his actions he explained, that a
young lady had severed an engage
ment which he claims existed but
parties knowing her doubt the asser-
tions He claims the letters were written
after premeditation and when he was
not drinking, afterwards he came to
town, bought revolver of W. l.
Humiston and proceeded to fill up
with liquor which brought him to hi
present situation He partially real
ICES his position and that he has done
wrong. He was brought before Judge

deemed best to further Investigate
thssmatter and allow him to come out
of tie influence of liquor before max
a,faxmal complaint to commit on.The
case will come up again before Judge
Cory at ten o'clock this morning.

The question of prohibiting the
dumping refuse on the ground des-
ignated by the Board of health, was
discussed. In-as-much as the Board
of Health gave the permission to
dump on the old mill ground up to
June, 10th, the Council considered
they had no action to take in the mat
ter.
The whistle was mentioned but no
action taken.
Mr.. Thurber, reported, that an acre
of ground, near the cemetery,cou be
procured of Hansberger, for burying
dead animals and dumping refuse on
for $500. Council took no action
but sentiment prevailed that the
piece would not be suitable and that
further search should be made to &C.
cure grounds for this purpose.

Water Supply.

As directed by the council Friday
evening the we'll committees at once
began operations for testing the forty
foot we'll, having placed testing
pump in position test was attempt
ed Tuesday afternoon and a large
quantity OF water was pumped from
the we'll at the rate of sixty aa-1ons a
minute, without perceptibly lowering
it. but the water was a thick mixture
of mud, which the men in charge OF
feared was undermining the ground
around the we'll and stopped pumping
and in a very short time the earth
commenced to cave around the curb
ing which stopped operation for the
day. Wednesday the cave in was
filled up and work in testing su'
spended until report was made to
the council, and further action
taken. The big we'll was cleaned so
as to ensue the purity of the water.
The filter has been thoroughly
cleaned and additional supply OF
charcoal put in to better cleanse the
water passing through the filter.
