Case of James Harring.
tonin Suit for Wages
Claimed Due Him.
Messrs. LOOney and Bateman
Intense Interest Manifested iu
the Outcome.

The case against the Osceola Mining
Co. which was brought in Judge Fishers
court by James Harrington for wages
which he claimed were due him did not
come off yesterday as was expected, but
will probably be tried within day or
two. 1t seems that there is some dis
agreement between the attorneys as to
whether the suit is against the Osceola
Consolidated or not. At the time OF the
action the man was employed by the
Tamarack Junior Mining Co, which has
since been consolidated with the Osceola
company. The legal technicality was
raised by one OF the attorneys that the
Tamarack Junior was not the Osceola
company and further action was post
poned until that point is settled.
The case will be tried by jury and has
aroused considerable interest about the
city. Lawyer Bateman ia for Harring-
ton and Mr., Looney, OF Gray & Looney,
OF Houghton, appeared for the mining
company. Mr.. Bateman to Hough-
ton this morning to look up the articles
OF consolidation OF the mining companies
to satisfy himself on that point.
1t is probable that the case will be car
ried TO the circuit court no matter which
way it is decided, for Attorney Bsteman
is determined to fightit to the bitter end.

Posted ON strong Men Anyway.

An amusing incident lately occurred in
the primary class OF one OF Decorah's
Sunday Schools. The teacher had been
talking about some OF the great charac-
tere OF the bible and asked who was the
wisest king. "King Solomon" answered
one little fellow. Right" said the
teacher, "Now, who was the strongest
man?" Imagine the effect on the class
when another young hopeful piped up
loud and clear, "Farmer Burns"
The little fellow was fond OF wrestling
and was a great admirer Of Farmer
Burns whose home is at or near DEBORAH,
Iowa. and had attended all the wrestling
matches In that vicinity.
