Marsh, against Mr.. Marsh and his
wife. They owned over an acre and
a half in Mankato which they claim
ed as their homestead. 1t had never
been plated in city lots and the land
Immediately next it was not plated
but other lands in the vicinity were.
1t is held that it is city property and
that the Marshes are entitled to keep
the house and a lot &c by 1871 feet,
which is the average lot in Mankato.
Justice CAVITY in concurring notes
that the trial court might very well
have found otherwise. but there is not
preponderance of evidence TO overset
the presumption of the lower courts
decision. Syllabus:
Held that the evidence sustains the
findings of fact and conclusion OF the
trial court to the effect that the tract
of land claimed by the appellants as q
homestead is urban In it's, character
and within the plated portion of the
city of Mankato.
Order affirmed.

Mr.. Bryan and his silver associate

Mr.. Bryan and his silver associates
may seek to obtain all the comfort out
OF the recent elections they can, un-
del the delusfon that the Republi-
cans did not win victory, but the
fact remains cold, but nevertheless
certain, that the states giving Re-
publican maj lrity on Nov. 9Th cast
294 electoral votes, majority of al
against McKinley's majority of 95.
Where the greatest Republican gains
we're made in the west, the fight was
on the silver issue squarely, and it is
hardly probable that any Of the
western states that turned to Repub-
licanism this fall on straight fight
for the gold standard, can be won
away on the fat dollar issue two years
hence. The fight on the silver issue
will be about as hopeless for ire
juvenated Democracy" in 1900 as the
outlook was for Democracy on the
free trade issue in the spring OF '96.
Outside of the southern states and
NJ issouri silver has no show whatever
as an issue except in the states of
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada and Utah, land as the st. Louis
Globe De mocrat says there is only one
man who has any possible show Of
carrying Nebraska on that issue. AND
even with that one man as the stand
ard-bearer of the silver forces, the
Republicans have a lighting chance
of carrying the state. 1t is also prob
able that on that straight-out issue,
the electoral vote of Kentucky would
again go to the Republicans. The
outlook for Silver Democracy is not
hopeful one, and it is. this fact that
pleases the country and makes the
era of prosperity all the more certain

C0RBETT'S LAME ANKLE.
Why the Ex-champion Made So Poor
a Showing.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Was it lame an
kle that was responsible for Corbett's
poor showing in his late fight with
Sharkey?
The possibility of such a thing is sug-
gested at this late day by Dan A
Stuart, the noted promoter of the Cor
bett-FitzsimmOns, Fitzsimmons- -Maher
and other Gghts.
Springs, stopped off in Chicago for a
few hours. Speaking OF the Corbett-
Sharkey fight, he said:
There was only one thing about it
that never could understand, and
want to know, and that is why Corbett
mixed it up with Sharkey. Those who
knew the style of the two men expected
Corbett to keep away from him. But,
instead of bringing his activity into
play, Corbett changed his methods and
went at his man. He never back
stepped once during the fight. And so
l asked Jim about it after the contest.
He said that in the second round he
was attempting little funny business,
got too close to Sharkey, and came near
being kncked out. He failed to get his
face out of Sharkey's way by half
an inch, and the blow, which was part
ly glancing, knocked Corbett own and
stunned him a good deal When Cor
bett cot up he found his ankle was
badly sprained. 1t put him to a great
disadvantage in the rest of the fight
Corbett never said anything about this,
because he knew it would raise a great
howl. Instead, he took his medicine.
Corbett pulled up his trOuser leg when
he told me about it and showed me that
his ankle was sprained."

another was plucl1ily rescued by. Scott,
