Mr.. Fletcher Gets There.
'Your Uncle Loren" turned trick on
ST. Paul last week, and only those who
know him we'll can understand how
good he feels over it. Mr.. Fletcher
heard that st. Paul was making an eff
fort to have the Thirteenth regiment
mustered out in that city and he hied
himself over to the war department in a
swift cab and at once represented the
importance of mastering out this regi-
nent in Minneapolis. Mr.. Fletcher'E
recommendations were complied with
and an order was issued that when the
Thirteenth regiment arrives in Mime
sofa it will be mustered out in the Flour
City. Of coure this is quite a great
thing for Minneapolis, because the
Thirteenth regiment, through no fault
of the other regiments from Minnesota.
has performed the most distinguished
services during the war. One of the
other regiments has been mustered out
in st. Paul and of course Mr.. Fletcher
poiptAdaout that it would be the fair
thing to have another mustered out in
Minneapolis. The war department Of
fcials saw the force Of the argument

persnsr Gets Brooke.

The contest for delegates to
the Congressional convention in
Brooke county vas said to be q
most spirited one. Messrs.
Meighen and Hardman having
withdrawn from the contest, the
struggle was between the friends
of Capt. Dovener and Judge
Campbell. The result was a solid
Dovener delegation which was
certainly a magnificent endorse
ment of the Captains official con-
duct, for Mr.. Campbell is not only
popular in Brooke but his scholar
" attachments are known and
admired particularly by the peo-
pie of that vicinity.

SOLID FOR DOvENER
Are the Clarksburg Delegates. Result in
the County About rs tor Dovener and
q for Judge Campbell.

City primaries were well attend
ed and the contest was somewhat
exciting, AT the court house the
vote stood about so to 100 for the
Dovener delegates and from Is
to IS for Campbell. The Coal
primary on Pike street was also
an enthusiastic gathering that
showed about IS for Dovener and
probably 30 for Judge Campbell.
From these two districts 90
Dovener delegates were Sc
lected. The country districts
did not attend so we'll but the
interest everywhere was encour-
aging. Tenmile and Elk each
send 10 Dovener delegates and
Simpson 8 for Dovener and 1 for
Campbell. Union and Clay each
gave Campbell three, all the rest
being for Dovener.
This practically closes the con-
test for the congressional nomi-
nation.

Case of Long Standing.

The facts Of an unpleasant incident
happening in this vicinity several
years ago and familiar to MANY of
our readers, are revived by The Juneau
Telephone in recording a case tried
at the February term of the Dodge
county circuit court:
'The case Of Hubert Neugebauer VS..
David COnnOrs, which was tried Thurs
day, resulted in a disagreement of the
jury. Neugebauer brought the action
against ConnOrs for conversion of pro-
perry. He testified that he was hired
by COnnOrs in 1898 to work on the
latter's farm in the town of Shields.
That while riding out to the farm from
Watertown, June % of that year.
with Connors, the latter took from
him by force $83. He brought an ac-
tion against Connors for highway rob-
berry, but failed to prove his case.
Connors was found guilty of assault.
This was over three years ago. This
time Neugebauer brought civil action
to recover the money alleged to have
been taken. He tells strange story
and ore that is hard to believe.
C0unOrs is a we'll known farmer of
the town Of Shields, who has always
borne a good reputation for honesty.
He said he hired Neuoebauer in
WatertOWn and that on the wav home
he made up his mind to 90 back. He
jumped out of the cart in which thew
were riding, and in doing so broke
the seat. He then started to run
away. This provoked Connors, who
followed him, caught him and com
PEELED him to pay s. for the damage
done. After hearing all the evidence
and listening to the charge of the
court, the jury retired Thursday
afternoon, remained out all night and,
failing to agree, were discharged by
Judge Dick Friday noon. W. B.
Rubin appeared for Neugebauer, and
Malone & Bachhuber for Connors.'
