All this treatment appears to have
been in the presence of the little boy,
who witnessing the terrible spectacle,
shrieked and cried out ssOh, papa, yon
are killing mamma whereupon the
defendant desisted from beating Mrs.
Egan further, but threw her out Of the
house as stated above. He threw her
a shawl, and with no other wraps but
this she walked two miles to neigh
boris, arriving there about nine o'clock
in the evening. Another neighbor
took her to Morgan, where, immedi-
ately upon arriving there, she engaged
a livery team to take her to Redwood
Falls for the purpose of having her
husband arrested.
Mrs. Egan arrived here about three
o'clock on the following morning,
driving direct to the county Jail whore
Sheriff Mead resided. Awakening
him she asked to have her husband
arrested, but he could not proceed
without the proper process. He gave
her room for the remainder of the
night and the next morning directed
her to the proper police authorities.
On account of the affair at the Egan
house the evening before and the ex-
citement that followed Mrs. Egan was
taken sick on the same day that she
arrived here and DR.. A. B. Hawes
treated her, continuing the treatment
until she recovered, during which time
she successfully passed through a
critical period or operation. She has
been at the home of Jailor Robidou
and was at the time of making the de-
position.
Sheriff Mead's affidavit confirms
the story of the plaintiff regarding her
arrival at the sheriff s residence on the
morning in question and OF events that
occurred afterwards on that day. He
also AYERS that the driver informed
him that they had come from Morgan
that morning.
DR.. A. B. Hawes made an affidavit
to the effect that he made a careful
examination of Mrs. Egan on that day
and that as result of the examination
he found two bruises on her right arm
one bruise over the left breast; and
that she was in . delicate condition
He also confirms later developments
mentioned in the affidavit of the plain
tiff, which, he says, we're caused by
the ill-treatment on the night in ques.

the second part are still working the
property or desire to continue it after
that day they are required. by this
deed of contract, to pay to the Moritz-
es the sum of $13,7OO, in return for
which they are to receive warranty
deed, giving them absolute possession
and ownership of the entire farm.
The contract with Henry Simondet
is on different basis. Mr.. Simondet
owns $50 acres of land in the valley
that the two prospectors want, or will
have to take before they will get any
part of it. In order to get a deed at
all from Mr.. Simondet they we're COM
PEELED to pay him $25 down for the
privilege of allowing them and their
tools, etc., on the premises. In case
they want to work the rocks during
1898 they will have to pay Mr.. Simon
det 500 and in case they want to con-
tinue it during 1899 they will have to
pay him $500. In order to keep it up
after Jan. l, 1900, they will be obliged
to buy the whole farm, paying Mr..
Simondet at the rate of $50 per acre
for the same.
There is more or less an air of mys-
terry about the whole game of these
two men, one claiming to be the ex-
pert miner and the other claiming to
he his financial hacker. The latter
alleges to have plenty of money to
carry on enterprise. The former con-
tends, by whisper, that there is gold
in the valley, and that he proposes tc
get it out. Just before leaving last
Wednesday afternoon he informed a
couple of persons that he would be
back inside of ten days with tools and
implements and men and at once com.
mence sinking shaft for gold OF
other minerals, with the expectation
of finding it.
"We will go down 1000 feetNin order
to find it," he remarked, "but it is my
opinion that we will find it before We
get down to that depth"
Partial arrangements we're made
for the caring of men, ETC., and if the
two gentlemen mean business every.
thing will be in readiness for them
and their crew as soon as they get or
the ground.
The two farms leased or contracted
for on the conditions above stated are
within four miles of the central por
ton of the city. They embrace some

when they think of the prices they
may get on the first day of Jan. 1900.

the time was not far distant when all these
advantages could be offered to the visitor
