the annulment Of mortgage and to quiet
title to certain property.
1t appears that in 1898 Mrs. Pottgieser
had been indebted to Andrew Twomey In
the sum Of $1,000. and gave her promissory
notes secured by mortgage to cover the
debt. Twomey transferred the notes to
the Bank Of Minnesota. At the trial the
plaintiff denied having executed the mort
gage.
In memorandum accompanying the
decision the court said: III am unable
to find from the evidence that the mort
gage was not acknowledged by the plain
tiff or was not delivered. The testimony
of the plaintiff Is unsupported and is con-
tradicted by the mortgage itself, the REQ
ord, the evidence Of the notary and
Twomeys possession Of the instrument.
Twomey's evidence Ia clearly worthless.
1t Is probably true that the plaintiff did
not realize that she was executing q
mortgage but there is no evidence or
claim of fraud, and here carelessness
would be a bar to relief on this ground
even against the mortgage"

Recent Manifesto Issued by Gen.
Young.
The court of inquiry ordered by Ad5t.
Gen. Corbin as a result of the demand
for vindication of the charges of Gen.
Young, SO far as they related to Col.
| Leonhauser of the Fifteenth Minnesota,
| will meet In the army building In this
city tomorrow morning. When Gen.
Young's bitter and wholesale denuncia-
ton of the officers of the Fifteenth was
issued by Gen. Young, a general demand
arose from the officers themselves, as well
as their friends In Minnesota, for an in
vestigation, which, 1t was felt certain,
would show that the attack of Gen.
Young was unfair and unwarranted The
report that Minnesota's representatives
in Washington had secured the court of
inquiry satisfied all parties until the for
NAL order was issued. Then it was found
that so far as the officers of the regiment
were concerned, they still were deprived
of an opportunity for clearing their good
names, and that the inquiry which opens
tomorrow morning is simply going to deal
with the matter SO far as 1t relates to
Col. Leonhauser.
The war department ignored Senator
Davis and Congressman Stevens, If either
Of them demanded justice for our Mime
sofa men. Col. Leonhauser alone gets a
chance to prove that the charge of cow
ardice cannot be laid at his door, even by
Gen. Young.
Following is the copy of the order COR
corning the court of inquiry:
BY direction of the president a court
Of inquiry Is instituted by the acting Sec
rotary Of war, to meet in ST. Paul, Mimi,
at 10 a. m. on April 10, 1899, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, to examine into
the conduct of Capt. Harry A. Leon

Minnesota Volunteer infantry) on the oc,
cas1on of, and in connection with, mu-
tiny which occurred in the camp of said
regiment at Augusta, Ca, on Feb. and
g. 1899.
The court will determine all the facts
to whether, and to what extent, If at all,
the rebuke administered to, and the
structures passed upon, certain officers of
said Fifteenth Minnesota volunteers, in a
general order numbered %, and issued on
March 10 from the Headquarters of the
