FRENCH'S BROKEN WRIST.
The Fight Was a Bad One and
Names Numerous.

The case of E. D. French vs.. The
Masonic Accident Association of
Westfeld, Mass, commenced i'm
mediately after the case of French vs..
The GAZETTE went to the jury Tues
day afternoon. The case is one where
in French seeks to recover from the
company by reason of his receiving
injuries in a fight with his former
partner, George Houghmaster, in this
city on June 18th, 1896.
After the accident policy was intro
duced: letter of the company to Mr..
French of Nov. 7, 1896, was read, and
was to the effect that the company
couldn't allow indemnity on account
of his injuries having been received in
fight, which is forbidden by the
policy. Another letter in reply to one
written by French suggesting arbitra-
ton, under date of May 10, 1897, was
to the effect that the company said
his case was not one for arbitration on
account of the fight. Mr.. French then
stated that he was sick and confined
to his bed for four weeks, on account
of the fight, that he couldn't write
during that time and for long time
thereafter.
E. B. Hale was the next witness
called. He alone witnessed the fight,
which occurred at Houghmaster's
Office. He said that French came in
and the two talked over accounts, dur
ing which they called each other
names, such as liars, thieves, s-n OF
b--s, etc. He said that French
turned to go out, but returned and
called Houghmaster Cd d-n Cos
pei thief. Then Houghmaster struck
him, dazing him, whereupon French
struck him battering ram blow on
the forehead, the fist sliding down the
head, and then falling to French's
side, it being the blow that broke the
wrist. This blow knocked Hough-

O. B. TURRELL INDICTED.

The grand jury finished it's lsbors
Tuesday and on Wednesday morning
the last two indictments we're made
public. One was against O. B. Tur-
rell, charging him with grand larceny
in the second degree, in connection
with not having turned over A46 be-
longing to his ward, Elmer Holden.
Mr.. Turrell states that he paid Mr..
Holden every cent due him, and did
not even charge him for fees due a
guardian.
The other indictment was against R.
d. White, charging him with selling
liquors to minors, one Patsy Hart.
Both parties will plead at the open
ing of court this morning.

stagnation is more dangerous than

clinched, and we're afterwards sepa-
rated by the witness and Frank Ring.
Mr.. Hale said that no blows we're
struck until after French called the
names.
"Isn't it fact that French called
Houghmaster a ID Methodist
gospel thief?" the defense asked.
II don't remember just what, some
thing like that, but I believe he left
out the word Methodist" was the
reply.
Court adjourned until Wednesday
morning at this juncture.

NOT INDICTED.
The Grand Jury Fails to Return
Indictments Against the
O'Conne1ls.
Mrs. O'Conne1l and Son Both I'm
mediately Released from
Custody,

The grand jury of Redwood county
for the November term of court re-
turned no indictment against Mrs
Martha O'Connell, and her son, james
O'Connell, in custody up to that time
to answer to the charge of having
killed John O'Connell, in Westline
township, Redwood county, on the
night of July 3Oth last.
The grand jury made its final re-
port about 2:3O o'clock last Tuesday
afternoon, every one of the % mem.
bers being present. They returned
two indictment, unknown at that time
and reported that no bill had been
found against the O'ConnelIs. Judge
Weber announced the fact and i'm
mediately ordered the release of Mrs
O'Connell and discharged the bonds
men of James O'Connell from any
further responsibility on the bond.
Shortly after the fact became known
it was given out that the reason that
the grand jury refused to indict Mrs.
OConnell was that it would be i'm
possible to convict her. That no
twelve men on the jury would convict
her, after hearing all of the evidence
of the State, and consequently with
the evidence for the defense, it was
probable, in fact, certain, that no petit
jury would convict Mrs. O'Connell or
James. 1t was reported that not a
member of the grand was in favor of
returning an indictment against Mrs.
O'Connell.
Immediately after the order for the
discharge of Mrs. O'Connell and her
son was entered a reporter of The
GAZETTE called at the county Jail and
had an interview with the lady. She
was very thankful that the grand jury
had refused to indict her, because it
relieved great strain from her mind,
and she said that with "a men inves-
tigating only the States side of the
case, and returning a verdict in her
favor, she considered it a greater ex-
oneration than if II men had returned
a verdict of acquittal, after hearing
both sides of the case.
She said that with her large family,
she would return to Westline, and at
tempt to work the farm so as to make
a living. She was not sure whether
she would cause the house to be re-
built at once. Her mind was un-
settled on many points. She left
Tuesday afternoon, with her children,
and brothers, for Westline.
The grand jury examined about Is
witnesses in the case. A future grand
Jury can indict Mrs. O'Connell, but
this is not probable.

The old time devil was keen to learn
He had gall. He wasn't afraid to ask
the milliners for advertising or print

most, being there early and late. He
made battery and copper plated types
before the first type founder thought of
doing it. He did stereotyping in rude
way, making a matrix from plotting
paper. Desiring to do his work better,
he tried to buy proper materials for
stereotyping, but he was bluffed SO easily
by the prices or talk given him by the
dealers that for many years he supposed
he was the victim Of some UNANIMOUSLY
jealous trusts.
A tramp printer from Chicago made
him believe that gasoline could be
made. The Chicago man pointed to a
big can Of the fluid and insisted that he
had made it. Gasoline was high priced
then. The devil sold the gasoline the
printer said he had made to a rival

Adapt the Cheese to the Market.

Adapt the Cheese to the Market.
Cheese that is made for export (and
most makers know whether their cheese
will be likely to go abroad or to the
home trade) ought certainly to be made
to suit the requirements Of the foreign
market. The authorities in Canada who
control the make Of that country take it
for granted that nine-tenths of their
production will go to Great Britain, so
they direct it all to be sailed high and
pressed very hard in order to give it
long keeping qualities. I believe that
moderately quick curing cheese can
safely be made down to the 1st of Au-
gust, as very little stock made previous
to that time can pass through the heat
of our summer and be fit to put away
for winter use, no matter how solid it
may be made. But by the 1st of Au-
gust change should BIZ instituted in
the style of making. From this time
forward eevry pound Of cheese produced
should be made as solid and firm and
free from moisture as can be brought
about by the use Of salt and the gang
press This is the cheese which has to
go into cold storage, cure slowly and
come out in the late winter or spring in
more perfect condition than when it was
put away. And unfortunately this is
what SO much Of our cheese cannot be
relied upon to dor. D. Gilbert

Canadians Take More Milk.

"The Canadians take one-half to
three-fourths pound more milk to pro-
duce pound of cheese than our max
ers take, and the extra milk offsets the
extra price they receive. The fact is
that our makers prefer to make soft,
palatable cheese, while the Canadians
make hard, stiff, dry cheese that is
absolutely good for nothing except to
convert into common balls, until it is
at least s or 9 months old, says an

DEATH OF MARY BARRIER.

dence of her daughter, Mrs. S. McIn
tosh, in Echo, last Wednesday morn
ing. Mrs. Barber had been ill fo1
some time prior to her death, and he1
passing away was relief from suffer
ing. She welcomed the approach o.
the Reaper and she departed from
this life with smile.
Mrs. Barber and family we're among
the early settlers of Redwood county
She was born in Scotland as Mary
Dodds and came to Canada when on
ly eight years of age. In Canada she
lived for nearly 40 years, and it was
during her residence with her parents
there that she met William Barber, a
sturdy tiller of the soil in Canada.
They we're married and Is years ago
came to Minnesota, settling in Vesta
township. At that time the town was
unorganized and there we're few, if
any, settlers in the township. The
eye could view the prairies for many
miles without seeing another farm
house. Her husband departed this
life shortly after they removed to this
county and Mrs. Barber was obliged
to manage the farm and large family
of boys and girls. How we'll she &C.
complished can be seen in the fact that
her sons are among the leading citizens
of this and Yellow Medicine counties
and her daughters married to leading
farmers and business men. 1t was the
fortune of the writer to have been in
the employ of the sons during that
portion of the county's history when
mems souls we're tried, and he can
testify personally that she always gave
words of cheer and courage in the
darkest hours. To the daughter who
then had just lost her husband she
was devoted and courageous adviser,
and to the sons she continually held
out "that bright sunshine that came
after rain" No better Christian ever
lived than Mrs. Barber. She was sin
cere in her religion, and devoted to
the principles of good will towards all
mankind. She was rs years old.
She leaves six children, Thos. D..
Barber, James Barber, Mrs. Sarah
Mcintosh, Mrs. Jeanette Wyman,
Mrs. Mary Drake and Mrs. Jane Gift
fen. She was grandmother to large
number of children.
The funeral was held from the vii
lage hall in Echo last Friday noon.
The services we're conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Acombe. The services were at
tended by large number of her early
friends and acquaintance, as we'll as
those of her early days. The remains
we're placed in the Echo cemetery.
Later information has it that Mrs
Barber leaves two brothers and one
sister, Matthew Dodds of Perth,
Ontario, and Ralp Dodds and Mrs.
Sarah Ireland of Glen Tory, Ontario.
