RUDDY PLEADS GUILTY.

At the opening of court Wednesday
morning, w. J. Ruddy, indicted for
larceny in the second degree in con-
nection with having stolen a buggy
from Mrs. F. L. Carpenter in May
last, changed his plea of not guilty to
guilty. Judge Webber postponed
sentence until after dinner, when he
sentenced Ruddy to pay a fine of $3.50
or one year at hard labor in the peni-
tentiary. Ruddy paid the fine.
It is understood that County At
torney Clague secured the missing
link of evidence on Tuesday that
clearly proved the case against Ruddy,
and the latter saw that the only
chance he had was for lenieacy in a
plea of guilty. Mr.. Clague's work on
the case was excellent.

GETTING THE JURY.

1t was just nine o'clock when Metag,
in brand new suit of clothes, white
shirt, turned down white collar and
wearing cravat of black, green and
red, marched into the court room in
charge of the sheriff and Deputy
Albeit. He was in the pink of condi-
ton, slightly pale; although keenly
sensible to the charge against him.
Judge Webber announced the case,
gave preliminary instructions, and
then ordered the clerk to proceed with
the call. Chr. Olson of Swedes Forest
was the first juror called and when he
was challenged for actual bias Judge
Webber announced the appointment
of Messrs. H. D. Baldwin, E. G. Pat
terson and A. G. Dolliff as triers of
the challenged juror and all other
challenged jurors in this case. But
Mr.. Olson was excused, because he
had an opinion regarding the case.
Frank w. Smith of Westline was
challenged for actual bias, ana this
was admitted as was also the chal-
lenge of S. F. Peterson of Kintire and
VIM. Goehring of Charlestown. Matt.
Jenniges had an opinion and was ex-
cused, as as was also Horace E.
Jones and H. F. Dornfeld.
Here it was agreed that the jurors
still out on the -Eischen case
be not called on this case, and that a
special venire of so additional Jurors
to serve the remainder of this term be
issued at that time and returnable
forthwith.
Edward Thornton of Sundown was
excused, but the next juror called, G.
II. Frederickson of Sundown, was ac-
ceptable to both sides and was sworn
in as juror No. l. After Peter Nancy
and Nels Westman had been excused
for having opinions, Hans Roy of Un-
derwood was acceptable to both sides
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-05-05

and was put down as juror No. 2. The
excusing of T. G. Ellingson exhausted
the panel and an adjournment was
taken until 4 o'clock.
At the opening of court yesterday
morning the special venire was called,
and only one was absent. Two of the
number, H. M. Sandager and T. D.
Lyman, we're excused on account of
sickness in the family. James Steven
son of Delhi stepped forward and
asked to be excused.
"On what ground?" the judge asked.
Sickness"
'In your family?"
"A horse is very SICK"
II can't excuse you," replied the
judge as burst of laughter went out
from the crowd.
After the jury call yesterday morn
ing Herman Gherke of Waterbury
was excused for actual bias, while w.
l. Howes of Belview was found salts
factory to both sides and put down as
juror No. 3
Eight or ten more jurors were ex-
amined before recess of ten minutes
was taken, but none we're accepted.
After examining IA more talesmen,
and at just l:55 the fourth juror was
found in the person of George Swartz
of New Avon.
At 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when this paper went to press, only
four jurors had been secured, and it
looked as though it would be neces-
sary to have another special venire of
SO jurors for the occasion

FACTS OF THE CASE.

On Sunday, Aug. 29th, of last year,
Fred. Kuehn resided in shanty in an
isolated spot on the banks of one of
the forks of the Wabasha, in Sherman
township. He lived alone, and owned
a farm of considerable acreage. Metag,
in the spring of the year, had entered
into farm contract whereby he was
to work the farm on shares, and was
to plow the land before threshing the
grain, the land having been plowed
when the contract was entered into.
As the time approached for harvesting
the crop Metag wanted to thresh the
same before doing the plowing. Kuehn
objected, and more or less bad blood
was created on account of the objec
ton. On the Sunday morning in ques-
ton Metag ordered a son to go to
Kuehn's house and inform him that
the tbreshing machine would pull on
to the place the next day for the pur
pose of doing the threshing. Kuehn
said that he would not permit such a
proceeding, and the boy returned
home and informed his father. About
2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Metag
with a revolver in his pistol pocket
and single and double barreled shot
guns in his wagon, started for Metags
place, arriving there half an hour later
A heated debate over the threshing
arose. Metag ordered Kuehn off the
land on which he held farm contract,
and Kuehn told him that he could
not put him off, and insisted that if
Metag left the buggy he would get a
thrashing. Metag jumped out, and
seeing Kuehn draw back his hand as
if to strike him, pulled the revolver,
and at a distance of two feet, pulled
the trigger and fired four shots. Three
took effect, killing Kuehn instantly.
Metag drove to Morgan and gave him
self up, and the same evening was
brought to the Redwood county Jail.
