PUTS IT up TO GIBBS
SAM LANGUM's DECLARATION FOR

TO THE PRESENTATION OF A SOLID
VAN SAINT DELEGATION FROM
THE FIRST.
WILL JOHN l.. YIELD HIS PLACEf
Or VIII He Continue in His own
Canvass for the Executive
Chair.
WILL JOHN L. YIELD HIS PLACEf

John L. Gibbs attitude In the guber-
Material canvass on the Republican side
is now a matter of considerable inter
est, especially since it seems to be ex-
ceedingly urgent that Capt. Van SAINT,
of Winona, command the united sup
port of his own congressional district,
and that in view of the recent develop
ment of Sam Langum's avowal of 10y
atty to Van SAINT. The last issue of
Sans paper states his position very
clearly. He is for Van SAINT for gov
ernor, even though 1t damage or ruin
his own chances for the nomination for
secretary Of state. He declares that he
feels that in the selection of a First
district man for the higher place he Is
serving his constituency well, and while
he would still be glad to have his
friends support him for the nomination
for secretary, he will not permit his
own candidacy to remain in the way
Of his Winona contemporary. This is
what Sam says. His friends say that
1t is a very judicious step, and they
point out that while the clashing Of
Langum's and Van SAINTS friends, If
pressed to an issue in the convention,
might result in leaving out of the ticket
entirely of the discordant district, the
chances are that Van SAINT can be
nominated now, and Langum will be in
a position to return to his position in
the senate secretaryship, or possibly,
drop into a quiet office around some
where in which he can keep himself
from being lost sight Of and at the
same time, without alternating any of
his present support, fix up his fences
for a harder race when the time shall
have come for the First district to lose
Gov. Van SAINT.
So now, Lieut.. Gov. Gibbs position is
a topic Of great deal of interest to
the First district Republicans, as, in
deed. it is to the Van SAINT men all
over the state. Will he let Van have
solid district or will he and Senator
Knatvold keep up their own hustle.

TROUBLE OVER A PIANO.
Warrant Out for the Arrest of Lewis
ThurErimsOn.

Andrew Miller, of this city, complain
ed to the county attorney yesterday
that Lewis Thurgrimson had embezzled
some $50 in money entrusted to Thur
crimson by Mr.. Miller's sister, Mrs.
Eiermann, of Milwaukee. A warrant
for the arrest of Thurgrinson, who
is the manager Of the Saddle Rock
restaurant on Jackson street, was ac-
cordingly issued.
Mr.. Miller says that his sister sent
over $50 to Thurgrimson last April with
instructions for him to use the money
to redeem a chattel mortgage for that
amount covering piano belonging to
Mr.. Miller Mr. Miller charges Thur
crimson with appropriating the money
to his own use and failing to pay the
mortgage, with the result that the
mortgage, after extending the time of
redemption until Dec. 1, finally fore
closed and took the piano.
While a deputy sheriff was out look
ing for Thurgrimson with the warrant,
the latter walked into the county at
torney's office in the middle Of the af-
ternoon He was told to report at the
sheriff's office. Upon inquiry there at
5 o. M 1t was learned that Mr.. Thur
crimson had not been seen in the
sheriff's office.

for him, but had said a young lady
opened the door.
Mr.. O'Brien-Yes, I know that is-What
he said the second time after he had
chance to pull himself together, but
his first testimony was that Miss Ha-
ger opened the door,"
do you know, Miss Hager, whether
Mrs. Mintzer was a Roman Catholic?'
"I do
WAS she?"
"She was not"
Miss Hager went on to testify that
she knew Waters, and had seen him
at the door Of Mrs. Mintzer's house in
1893.
What instructions did Mrs. Mintzer
give you concerning Waters?'
"She warned me IL Waters came to
the door not to let him enter the house.
I was to tell him she had gone to Eu-
rope on a wedding trip, or that she
was sick or anything else"
What else did Mrs. Mintzer say to
your"
"she said that Mr.. Waters had pro-
cured q marriage license without her
knowledge and that man who would
do such thing as that was dangerous.
She told me she would never marry
him If he was the last man on earth.
He was only after her money, she
said"
At this point, Mr. O'Brien asked
permission to call Daniel w. Lawler.
1t was granted and Mr.. Lawler was
sworn.
Mr.. Lawler testified that some time
subsequent to November, 1898, in fact
about one and half or two years
ago, Mr.. Waters talked with him con-
| corning his relations with Mrs. Mint
ger.
Here Mr.. Bell wanted to know Of Mr.
Lawler If Waters came to him as a
lawyer. Mr.. LAWYER answered.
Il don't think he did"
Mr.. Bell said If he did, the communi-
cation was privileged and could not be
disclosed.
| Mr.. Lawler was allowed to explain
that when he was corporation attorney,
in 1891, Waters often came to see him
about city park matters, appointments
etc. Waters wanted among other things
Mr.. LAWYERS Endorsement of his appll-
cation to be made superintendent of
parks. Mr.. Lawler was of the opinion
that Waters did not come to him upon
any occasion for legal advice.
Upon this showing the court allowed
Mr.. LaWler to testify as to his con-
versation with Waters
waters told me that he intended to
sue Mrs. Mtntzer for breach of promise
of marriage" said Mr.. Lawler. HE
had intended to marry Mrs. Mintzer,
he said, and had taken out a license,
got in hack and driven across the
bridge to get her, but when he found
her she was in bed. Mr. Waters said
that the room was in filthy condition
and that he commented upon that fact,
and Mrs. Mintzer refused to marry
him. 1 advised Mr.. Waters not to
bring any such action. Considering his
age and that of Mrs. Mintzer such a
proceeding would make him look
ridiculous. Mr.. Waters then said that
he had a claim against her for $4,000
or $4,000 for managing her land inter-
ests''
Mr. Lawler gave precisely the same
testimony in the main essentials upon
cross-examination and was allowed to
60
Miss Hager was recalled and after
answering one or two unimportant
questions, was permitted to step down
without being cross-eXamined.
Court then adjourned until 10 a. m.
today, when the hearing will be re-
sumed.

Reed Turned Down.

Speaker Reed is not inclined to press ex-
Congressman Aldrichs nomination for
any other post, now that the Belgian mis-
sion has been refused. He says that he
went out of his way to secure the Belgian
mission for his Illinois lieutenant and was
assured that the matter was settled.
When Storer was appointed the speaker
could not feel otherwise than that he had
been badly treated. and he has therefore
positively declined to consider that the
latest overtures to Mr.. Aldrich are worthy
of attention. The speaker says in effect
that he has been turned down once and
does not propose to give anybody chance
to do it again. nor does he believe that
these offers to Mr.. Aldrich are sincere or
likely to be fulfilled. He illustrated his po-
sition by declaring that when a man pro-
posed to take up an overdue note by CIV
ing another note people naturally were
suspicious of his intention to pay at all. 1t
was very evident that Mr.. Reed is bitterly
disappointed over the Belgian matter and
that from this time forward he will take
particular pains to ask no more favors of
the present administration, and IL there is
not open war between the president and
the speaker it will be at least a case of
armed neutrality.
