AFRAID OF A FAIR COUNT.
junction to Block an Elec-
ti0n Contest.

The count of votes in the election con-
test OF Horace ]. Bone against John T.
Emmons came to a sudden end yesterday
by IN injunction issued by Judge Gates of
the circuit court and served upon the coun-
ty clerk ordering him to stop. Emmons
was the Democratic and Bone the Repub-
lican candidate for constable in Westport
in the fall Of 1856. was declared
elected. Bone contested it before the coun-
ty court and EmmonS won there. Bone
appealed to the circuit court and a change
of venue was taken to the court of Lafay-
cite county. That court ordered the clerk
of this county tc count the votes and GER
tify the result to il. Clerk Crittenden be-
gan the count yesterday but had not gone
far when a friend of EmmonS secured the
writ of injunction.
1t is claimed in this writ that the man.
ner of making the count was illegal, as
the clerk was making a record of each
vote cast so that from this record 1t could
be learned how every nan voted in that
district. 1t is claimed hat the law ex-
pressiy forbids the exposure to the public
in any way of a mans vote.
The injunction issued yesterday will stop
the count until Saturday. when Judge
Gates will hear the matter in full and
will then make his final decision. If this
is against he will appeal to the
supreme court and thus delay the count
until his term of office is expired.

ASKS DAMAGES FOR A FALL.
Suit for Money Begun by Edgar Rich.
ardson Because of m Unusual
Accident.

1t seems to be the rule now If a person is
hurt anywhere or anyhow for him to bring
a suit for damages against some one. Ed
gar II. Richardson sued the United Eleva-
tor Company yesterday in the circuit court
for 5000. He says he was working for
the company and was opening a car door
with a crowbar which broke and caused
him to fall down against the car and hurt
himself. 1t is hard for the ordinary per-
son to CUR out how Richardson's employ
ers were liable for an accident of that
kind. but he found a lawyer who brought
the suit for him yesterday.

Commissioner Herman Passes on
the Validity Of the Arch
bishops Claim.
A Portion of the Lands He Is
Entitled to Upon Payment of
81 so Per Acre.
Another Portion He Loses En-
tirely---Settlers Protected
in Either Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Commissioner
Herman Of the general land Office has
decided the case of archbishop John
Ireland, involving the right to about
$4,000 acres of land in the St. Cloud
and Marshall land districts, Minnesota.
With a view to colonization and other
purposes, the archbishop entered into
two contracts with the St. Paul, Mime
apolis and Manitoba Railway company
within whose limits the land lay, for
its disposition. These contracts We're
dated July II, 1880, and March 80.
1888. Subsequently it was determined
that the land was not properly convey.
able to the railroad, and the question
arose whether the archbishop. under
the agreements with the company could
become the purchaser Of the lands
N which many persons had set.
tied. The commissioner decides that
under the agreement of 1880, in
which about 5000 acres are involved,
the archbishop cannot become the pur.
chaser, as he was simply the agent Of
the company in disposing Of the lands,
for which he received q commission.
The settlers now on those lands can
acquire patent under the land laws at
the price Of ST. % per acre, or under GER
tain conditions may take out home.
stead rights. Under the agreement Of
1898, the commissioner decides the
archbishop has the right to purchase
the lands. These he will have to pay
for at the rate of 81. 80 per acre. Many
| persons have settled also on these lands,
under arrangements with the arch.
bishop. In the first case, therefore, the
decision is against the archbishop. and
in the the second for him, although in
both cases the settlers will be protected.
The archbishop has the right of appeal
from this decision to the secretary of
| the interior.
