thought, was the best. Mr.. Bush
treated the subject quite thoroughly.
T. B. Terry followed Mr.. Bush
with talk on tillage. He was quite
enthusiastic on this subject and
bore down on the fact that farmers
did not work their soil enough.
Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws then gave
a talk to the ladies on the compost

man. Her talk was an Interesting
one and was followed closely by the
men as well as the ladies present.
The last speaker during the after
noon was Mr.. Greeley on Mutton
Sheep on Minnesota Farms. He
did not talk very long on the SUBJ
ject, but took up various phases of
it more thoroughly on the following

Second. that the people Of Morgan
did not furnish q satisfactory deed
to the commissioners within ten
days from the time that the COM
missioners made the first request,
the first deed submitted containing
too many conditions. Third, they
contend, they had right to reject
any proposition up to the time that
the deed itself was actually accept
ed.
One of the commissioners, in
speaking Of the matter to reporter
OF this paper, said, after conrending
that no legal contract had been en-
tered into, that in case the courts
held contrary to his view, and COM
PEELED the commissioners to accept
the 40 acre tract, there was no law
that would compel the commission
ers in going ahead and erecting
buildings on the same for poor farm
purposes, and consequently, unless
future boards decide to do so, the
land would remain unoccupied,
with the county having condition
al title to the same, and Morgan
business men would be out over
81. 900.
There is no one who is willing to
admit that poor farm is very
creditable institution to have with
in city or village limit, and the
desire Of Morgan people would be
wondered at were it not for the
fact that they hope that. in case
they can get good DOR farm es-
tablished within their limits they
can get Secretary Jackson of the
State board of corrections and char
tiles up here and have the Redwood
county pauper resort made the re-
sort for four or five counties sur
rounding Redwood, thereby in
creasing the volume of mercantile
business of Morgan, as well as add
ing to its population.
In the original voting the COM
missioners in favor of the Morgan
proposition were Aftermath, Car
lille and Wilson. At the January
meeting Mr.. Aftermath voted with
Cooper aud Sloan and the resolution
Of acceptance was thereby rescind-
ed. Mr.. Altermatt's change of
views is the cause of the severe
roasting he received last week from
the Morgan Messenger.

Mr.. Davis was born al Bingham
ton, New York, in 1888, and was
consequently 81 years old at the
time Of his death. His parents
moved to Illinois with the family
when David was but seven years
Of age, settling IL miles from what
was then the village Of Chicago,
but on track which now forms a
portion Of the city. They resided
there about IL years and then came
west to Iowa, settling on farm not
far from West Union. Mr.. Davis
resided in Iowa about three years,
and then moved to Rice county in
this State. Mr.. Davis had acquired
a complete knowledge of the carpen-
ter trade by this time, and he built
the first house in Faribault after that
town was plated. He resided there
until II years ago, when he moved
to Sheridan, locating on the Allen
farm, where he resided until he
moved on to the farm of Harry Davis,
his second son, his residence being
situated on the banks of the Redwood,
and where he passed away. Mr..
Davis leaves wife, three sons and
five daughters, the latter being Mrs.
Henrietta Pagenkopf of Rice county,
Mrs. James Duffield of Wisconsin,
Mrs. Carrie Gallery of this county,
Mrs. J. B. Knudson of Benton coun-
ty, and Miss CIR ce Davis. The
sons are Chas. H., Harry and Frank
Davis.

TALK ABOUT MANDAMUS.
MorganI People are Anxious to
Have the poor Farm.

papers of last Thursday was to the
effect that the business men of that
town had employed Attorney Al
bert Hauser to commence an action
to mandamus the county commits
sioners into accepting the PROPOSE
tion of the people OF Morgan, where
by the latter agreed to give the
county a deed to 40 acres OF land
within one mile of Morgan, provid
ing the commissioners would con-
struct thereon suitable building for
the harboring of the paupers of the
county. The last issue OF the Nor
gan Messenger also indulged in
considerable of abuse of Commits
sioner Aftermath for his action on
the proposition.
It will be remembered that at the
meeting of the commissioners held
over year ago, the people of Nor
gan, before the board had legally
advertised for propositions for land
for poor farm, made two PROPOSE
tions in writing The first was
that if the poor farm was located
within one mile Of Morgan they
would give the commissioners 81 900.
The second was that if the commits
sioners would accept 40 acre tract
within the one mile limit it would
be given to the county in lieu of the
81, 900. At that meeting the last
proposition was accepted. But at
the next meeting al unacceptable
deed to the 40 acre tract was pre-
sented, and owing to the fact that it
had too many conditions, it was re-
iected. A second deed was sub
mitted. and third, and both were
rejected. At the meeting in Janu-
ary deed was presented without
any conditions whatever, but no
action was taken on the deed. On
the contrary, the commissioners, by
a vote of 3 to 2, rescinded its reso-
luton Of the meeting of year AGO
accepting the second proposition of
the Morgan people.
1t appears that during last year
Mr.. Carlile unofficially took charge
of the poor farm site, and he had
VIM. Ham break and seed the
tract, and it appears that the crop
brought in about 800, which Mr..
Carlile deposited in the Bank of
Morgan. Mr.. Ham billec the
county for his work, but the COM
missioners have refused to allow
his bill, and it appears that Mr..
Carlile has been notified that the
county will not accept the money
derived from the sale of the produce
raised on the farm. Had Mr.. Car
lille turned this money over to the
treasury instead of the bank, as
soon as he received it, there is some
question whether his action would
not have bound the commissioners.
The fact that he was never officially
designated a committee on the site
makes the case weak one.
| The contention of the Morgan
people is that when the commission
ers accepted the proposition the
contract was legally made, and that
the action OF the commissioners in
instructing Mr.. Carlile to take
charge of the tract was an implied
assumption of ownership. On the
other hand the commissioners con-
tend that, first, they had no right
to accept the proposition on the
ground that no bids had been ad-
vertised for, and hence other towns
that might have asked considera-
! tion, were prevented from doing so.
