SEVENTY-TMO YEARS OLD.
The Clan Mckay Celebrates Gil.
bert Mckay's Birthday.


Seventy-two years ago last Friday
was day Of considerable importance
to ct least twenty-five people of Red
wood Falls. for on that day father and
grandfather GilbeftaM cay was born.
These twenty-five people, five sons and
daughters and their seventeen child
rem, met by invitation at Supt. Races
last Friday evening and demonstrated
that under proper conditions Friday
may be the happiest, if not the luck
lest day of the week. The tempera-
ture was perfect for outdoor enjoy.
ment, the place Of meeting, with we'll
kept lawn and spacious and attractive
house, was just right, and all appear
ed to be bent on having good time.
Even father Mckay braced up from q
bad headache and joined in the hilar-
ity in spite Of it, until the pain inconti-
nently fed. .
Father McKay's career covers an
important era in our country's history.
His own father first came from Scot
land to America as an attache of a
British officer, at 16 years of age.
Was afterward impressed into the
armies Of George III, and against his
will compelled to fight in the ranks
against the colonies, even while his
sympathies we're with them rather
than with the King for whom he was
forced to fight. Released from the
army, Private Mckay decided to be-
come citizen, and took up pioneer
life in the wilderness of Southern New
York. He married an American lass,
and Gilbert was the youngest of five
boys and four girls born to them.
Gilbert was yet a child when his father
died, and has clear recollection of
some of the early struggles of his
widowed mother and her family in
the wilderness, when there we're times
that pair OF shoes was a luxury even
in winter time. Father Mckay grew
to manhood, married Hancy Hudson
while she was yet in her teens, and
with little worldly goods struck out
for the western wilds of Wisconsin,
settling in Waukesha. T.
We have little space left to speak of
the birthday fete at Supt. Races, of
the profusion of flowers and perfection
of the refreshments. It was an &C.
casion to be long remembered by all
present, even without the souvenirs of
the occasion which are being prepared
by Photographer Anderson, who
brought his camera early in the even
ing, by request, and took number of
snap shots.

HOG CHOLERA.
State Board of Health's Plan O
Checking 1t.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1897.
COUNTY WINS Again. ."
Juddment Refused and New Trial
Denied the Bondsmen.

Judge Webber has refused to order
judgment entered in favor of the de-
PENDANTS, Notwithstanding the verdict,
and also refused the motion for new
trial, in the case of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners of Redwood county
VS.. the bondsmen of the insolvent Citi-
zens Bank. Messrs. Somerville and
C.H. Schneider appeared before Judge
Webber two weeks ago yesterday and
made the two motions which Judge
Webber has over-ruled. The motions
we're opposed by County Attorney
Clague and A. w. Wickwire, the latter
of St. Paul. The first two attorneys
contended that the verdict in favor of
the county should be set aside, and
that judgment should be entered for
the defendants, on the ground that
the county had not made out its case,
and then they contended that the de-
PENDANTS should be granted new
trial because they should not be charg-
ed with the $1,000 personal property
taxes of the bank, which they claimed
had never been deposited by the
county.
1t will be remembered that at the
last trial the defense, after it had
made certain admissions as to the
amount deposited by the county, dis
covered that the $1,000 personal pro-
perty taxes had never been deposited,
but that the county gave the bank
receipt for it's taxes and that the bank
had passed the 81 600 to the credit of
the county. This, the defense claim
ed, was no legal deposit, and as such
could not be charged up to the defend
ants. The Judge holds different, as
will be seen from the following de-
cision:
Gas ground for Judgment, notwith-
standing the verdict, and as one of the
grounds for new trial, the defend
ants contend that it was proved that
the Bank had paid out all the money
deposited therein by the county treas
urer; and they contend that the check
for 50, 963.l2 given by the outgoing
treasurer, Kuenzli, to his successor,
Lankard, for the mere purpose of
transferring the funds to the credit of
the new treasurer, should be included
as credit in favor of the Bank.
think there is no foundation in the
evidence for this position, the treas
urer, Lankard, testiies that no money
was paid over upon the presentation
of this check, but that all money that
was paid out by the Bank was paid
out upon subsequent checks and all
of these credits were allowed upon the
trial, and the amount thereof was
more than $4,000 less than the amount
of the deposits.
During the trial and while the
plaintiff was introducing it's evidence,
the defendants voluntarily admitted

A SUPERB MONUMENT.


Bros. set up the sarcophaghii ordered
through that firm of monument deal
ers and marble workers for the
Schmahl lot in the Redwood cemetery.
Those who have seen the monument
have no hesitancy in saying that it is
one Of the finest, if not the finest piece
of monument work ever put up in a
cemetery in this section of the State.
The monument comes direct from
the celebrated Hill O Fair quarries in
Scotland, where it was not only quar-
ried, but was polished and engraved,
or rather the letters chiseled out on
the same. It stands five feet, ten in
ches high, the sub base stone being
one foot six inches high, five foot six
inches in length, and three feet and
three inches in width. The base stone
proper is one foot, one inch thick, four
feet long and two feet wide. In the
center and on the front of the base in
beautiful large and polished Gothic let
ters in the single name "SCHMAHL.' ~
The die is one foot and eight inches
high, three feet and six inches long
and one foot six inches wide. It is
polished to the. highest degree on its
four sides, with only slight reliefs on
either side of stone faceings. The
cap is one foot, six inches high, four
feet long aad two inches wide. It is
of double Gothic shape, with dor
mer in the center front, under which
is circle Of polished granite, in which
is yet to be engraved the letter 49,"
With the monument came a polish
ed granite marker for the grave of
Otto Schmahl, who passed away Sept.
18th last. On the top of the marker
in raised letters is the first name of
the deceased, and below, cut into the
stone is the full name, together with
the date of birth and of death.
The monument was to have been
delivered here by May 18th, but owing
to the fact that the first two dies made
we're both broken in an attempt to
have everything perfect, it did not
leave Scotland for Redwood Falls un-
til about month ago. Owing to this
fact Pentony Bros. were obliged to
pay an extra tariff duty of $50, max
ing a total tariff of $50 on the monu-
ment, the latter costing $500.
The work bespeaks much praise
for the local firm of Pentony Bros,
through whom the monument was
delivered. It is evidence of the fact
that they propose to fill every order
given them directly to the letter, and
to supply something better, rather
than something triae poorer than or
dered. Their own chiseling on mar
bic is of the same high grade.

that the amount deposited by tn

that the amount deposited by the
county treasurer in the defendant
bank was the sum of $14,618.16, as al
legged in the complaint. On the next
day and after the plaintiff had rested,
the defendants asked leave of the
court to withdraw this admission.
Such leave was denied by the court,
and the defendants claim that this
was an abuse of discretion, and they
demand new trial upon that ground.
The amount of deposits admitted by
the defendants ($l4,6l8.16) is precise
ly the amount proved without contra
diction on the former trial (69 N. W.
Rep. 913), and if there was any mis-
take, I think the defendants -four of
whom we're directors of the bank)
should, with proper diligence, have
detected it before the commencement
of the trial. The application for leave
to withdraw the admission was sup
ported by no afidavits but was based
solely upon the hear-say information
Of a "former member of the Board of
county commissioners of Redwood
county" whose name was not given.
In my opinion, it was not an abuse of
discretion to deny the application
made upon the oral statement of an
attorney based upon mere here-say,
at the time when the application was
made. Think the moving af6davits
are susceptible of construction that
would make the charge for the depos-
it referred to proper liability of the
sureties upon the bond. The money
deposited in the bank was the property
of the bank, and had a perfect right
to apply the same in payment of tax
es, and if a check was given to the
treasurer for the taxes of the bank,
and the treasurer, instead of going
through with the formality of drawing
the money from the bank and then
re-depositing it, allowed it to remain
in the bank and charged it as a depos-
it, I think it was legal transaction
and the sureties are liable therefor. I
l have no doubt that this is substan-
TALLY the transaction that actually oc-
CURED, as it is consistent with the facts
set forth in the affidavits, aud is also
consistent with the legal presumption
that the county treasurer has done
his duty and has not made a false
charge upon the records of the county.
"In my opinion, all the defense of
the defendants was effectually dispos-
ed of by the decision of the Supreme
Court, and the defense attempted at
the second trial was frivolous and
wholly without merit.
"Ordered, that the motion of the de-
PENDANTS for judgment in their favor,
notwithstanding the verdict, be and
the same is hereby denied.
Ordered further, that the motion
of the defendants for new trial here
in be and the same is hereby denied
A stay of proceedings was granted
until Oct. LIST, in order to allow the de-
PENDANTS to appeal to the Supreme
Court, in case they should decide SO to
do. Some of the defendants are will
ing to appeal, while others are willing
to have judgment entered against
them.

An electric car going at full sneed

An electric car going at full speed col Hides with a railway train, also going al full speed. As a result three persons are dead, one fatally injured and sever al others badly hurt. The gates were closed and the accident was caused by the motor car. which is one belonging to the Calumet Electric Street Railway Company, Chicago, becoming unman- ageable, bursting through the guards and rushing upon the track in front of the express train. It is said that this same motor performed the same trick at the same place the prior Sunday, happily without fatality at that time. The officials of the company deny this, and say that 1t was another motor which gave the Sunday performance. The company had, then, two unman- ageable motors instead of one and kept them running oyer this dangerous crossing. One naturally asks how many more wild trains the company owns, and what assurance passengers have that a trip over it's lines may be made with safety to life and limb.

Judge and Jury.

An exchange tells a story of q we'll known judge who is noted for his fond ness for conveying in his charges to jurors. his own opinions in regard to the merits of the case in hand. Re- gently, in giving such a charge. he eX- pressed his views very plainly, but to his amazement the jury remained out for some hours.
 The judge inquired of the officer what was the matter, and learned from him that one juror was holding out against the other eleven. He sent for the jury at once, and stating to the jurors that he had plainly intimated how the case ought to be decided, said he understood that one juror was standing out against the other eleven. He proceeded to re- buke the juror sharply.
 The obstinate juror, as 1t happened was a nervous little man, and as soon as the judge was done, he arose and said:
 Your honor, may l say word?"
 Yes. sir" said the indignant iudge. what have you to say"
 Well, what wanted to say is. I am the only fellow that's on your side"

There occurred in Chicago recently a six-day bicycle race which seems to have been merely contest to see how much pain and fatigue the riders could stand. The spectacle of a number of men, dizzy with pain. morphine and fa- tigue, struggling through the cruelty of a prOtracted physical strain, sleep less and but lightly fed, for six days and six nights, ought to bring vigOr Ous protest from all sane riders of the wheel and from the public in general. The modern prize fight, with it's short, quick knockout" may be brutaliZing, but it is all over in an hour or so, and the contestants punishment is trifing compared with the SiX-day torture of the racing wheelmen. There was about as much sport" in the bicycle race as there would be in d public exhibition of human vivisection, the prize to go 10 the man who could endure the most pain without screaming raceis not defenSlble on any grounds what sOeyer. It proves nothing; 1t Is no fair test of riding powers, and, as exercise, 1t Is immensely damaging to the health. Bicycle riding Is a good tbing. Bicycle racing. when conducted fairly and sanely, as other athletic contests, may be commended. But this six-day torture exhibition has injured both.
