BUSY PAYING INTEREST
ALLEGATIONS MADE BY JAMES AND
MARY CLINE
In an Action Against Ruff & Ruff
They Claim to Have Paid $IS5 In
terest on an Advance of $40
Originally Secured-NOw Claim
1t UsuriOus.

1t UsuriOus.
James Cline and Alice Cline have
brought suit in the district court
against John +. Bruggemann, A. H.
Pettibone, De Witt c. Ruff and William
Ruff, co-partners, doing business as
Ruff & Ruff, to recover Judgment for
$195, alleged to have been paid to de-
PENDANTS under a uSuriouS contract.
The plaintiffs also ask for an in
junction restraining the defendants
from collecting or desposing of certain
notes and a chattel mortgage, and for
Judgment that the notes be declared
null and void, Cancelled and satisfied.
The complaint alleges that in the
month of December 1898, Ruff & Ruff
loaned the plaintiffs the sum of $50, and
eXacted from them, by reason of their
pressing need of money, a promissory
note dated Dec. 9, 1898. for the sum
of $780, and an agreement to pay as in
terest thereon, the sum of $40 a month,
payable monthly In advance to Ruff &
Ruff. The note, so the plaintiffs allege,
was made payable to G. r. Strobel,
without their knowledge.
The plaintiffs further allege that from
the date of the note until Jan. Is, 1897.
they have at divers times been forced
to pay on said uSuriouS contract the
by Ruff & Ruff.
Continuing, the complaint alleges
that on Jan. 90 1897, Ruff & Ruff and
the defendant, John F. Bruggemann,
representing to the plaintiffs that there
yet remained unpaid on the SuriouS
contract the sum of $780, and further
representing that Ruff & Ruff were go
ing out of business, threatened the
plaintiffs that their furniture would be
seized and sold unless they made new
notes for said sum of 500, and SIS for
attorneys fees, payable to the order Of
John f. Bruggemann. Thereupon the
plaintiffs. through fear of losing their
goods, so they declare and relying on
the alleged false representations of the
defendants, executed their twelve
promisSory notes payable to the order
of A. II. Petubone, and received no
consideration therefor other than the
promise to extend the alleged usurious
contract.
The plaintiffs also declare that A. H.
PettibOne is a fictitious payee, that
John +. Bruggemann Is the real party
in interest and that he uses the name
of Pettibone fer the purpose of decep-
ton.
In conclusion. the complaint alleges
that there appears on record in the
city clerks office a certain pretended
mortgage purporting to be executed by
the plaintiffs and delivered to A. H.
Pettibone, which mortgage is declared
to be fraudulent. The plaintiffs assert
that they were not asked to sign and
never did sign such a pretended mort
gage, and that the signatures thereto
are not theirs.
Hence the relief demanded.

CREAM OF THE BIG SHOW
MINNESOTA AT THE TOPEKA BUT
TERMAKERS' CONVENTION
The Delegates Are Home Again,
After a Flying Trip Through MIS-
souri,, Kansas and Iowa-They
Brought Back the COin-Had u
Good Time and Honored the State.

Yesterday morning the buttermakers,
100 or more, who attended the National
ButtermakerS' convention at Topeka,
arrived in st. Paul full of enthusiasism
over the record of Minnesota butter at
that gathering.
The butter, which took the first prize,
scored So points out of a possible 100.
The average scoring was 94.40, while
the average of the product of the state
of Iowa, which took second place, was
1882.
Minnesota also took second place in
the lineup Of the delegations from the
several states. The delegates claim,
however, that the Iowa people who took
first place, enlisted every body in To-
peka, and pinned the Iowa Badges on
them.
The delegates were loud in their
praise of their reception, not only in
Topeka but all along the line.
They travelled almost continuously
since Friday noon. The railroad COM
panies took them over the states of
Missouri, Iowa and Kansas. Their cars
were switched from one road to an
other.
Some very fast time was made on the
trip. On the Santa Fee road, the high
est record was fifty-nine miles an hour
on the Rock Island, siXty-fve miles an
hour, and on the B. c. R. & N, seventy
two miles an hour was made.
They Travelled all the afternoon, Fri
day, and all day Saturday, and arrived
at Kansas City Saturday night, where
they were entertained over Sunday.
E. B. Williams, of the dairy and food
department, was appointed a member
of the executive committee of three, to
select the next meeting place of the
convention.
Geo. B. Parks was elected wise presi
dent of the association, and Minnesota
did herself proud, the delegates felt,
not only in her exhibit of butter, but
in the prominent part taken in the pro-
ceedings of the convention by the Min
nesota delegates.
The Quartette from the state agricul-
tural school, which accompanied the
party, was spoken very highly of in
the Topeka journals.
Over $4,000 was brought home by Min
nesota exhibitors, which is GIT per cent
Of the pro rata share of the cash prizes
offered at the exhibit
There is a general impression among
the Minnesota delegation that the next
convention will go to Sioux Falls, as
that city was very ably represented at
the convention, and a bonus of $1,000
was put up by the business men of the
place, if the convention could be taken
to their city.

ment, and continued the matter until 10 a.
m next Saturday.

toward appealing his case, but did not per-
