Among the cases that come up for

CAUGHT NEW ULM MONEY.
Travelling Men Made Killing by Back.
ing Van SAINT.

There were certain citizens in New
Tim who were loyal to Governor John
Lind to the last, even though it cost
some of them dearly. AS proof of their
steadfast devotion to his cause, some
of them bet very heavily on the out
come of the election, says the Mime
apolis Journal, wagering all the ready
morey they could lay hands ON that
lind would get there again. So eager
were they to cover all Van SAINT bets
that when they heard that bunch
of travelling men at the West Hotel,
Minneapolis, all of whom ''make"
New Ulm, were willing and anxious
to place considerable sum of money,
they at once wired Manager Bronson
of the hotel to ''cover" all bets and
sent him sufficient lump to meet
possible obligations. The total sum
of their wagers amounted to $500, and
it was all paid over to Van SAINT drum
mers thiso morning. William 81.
Meyer. one of New Ulm's leading mer-
chants, subscribed $3.50 of that amount
The same is now in the possession of
J. II. Kruger, the wellknown travel
ing man who claims to be nephew of
Dom Paul. The remaining $3.50 was
about equally divided up among the
other knights of the grip.

A DEFAcED BALLOT.
Supreme Court Decision that il May be
Rejected.

An attorney has been looking into
the law applicable to the questionable
ballots said to have been cast in judi
son, and finds q supreme court deci-
sion which he says applies to this case.
Marks were on ballot by which II
could be identified and the court held
that for this reason it must be re-
jected. The ballot with sentence
written across it, which was cast in
Judson, could be identified by the
sentence, and under the decision should
be thrown out.

Material contest. If Van SAINT was

SECOND DISTRICT
What II Has Done on Congress for the
Past Eight Years.

The following table on the congress
sional vote in the second district for
1s92-4-6-s will prove interesting at
this time as showing the growing pop
ularity of Congressman McCleary.
1t will be observed that the Demo
Gratis, Populists and Prohibitionists
had separate tickets in the. field in 1892
and 1894, since which time fusion be-
tween Democrats and Populists has
prevailed.
The figures on congressman for 1900
are not complete as yet, as no returns
have been received on the Prohibition
vote. MoCleary will have, however,
about ii, 500 over Matthews, fusion
candidate and at least $500 clear
majority. 1t is believed that his per
cent of the entire vote will reach 60,
which is record breaker:

THE CHIEFS BILL.
0nly Half Of II Was for the Omaha
Trip.

In reg ard to the action of the count,
board Thursday in disallowing Chic
Bowen's bill for $3.50 there seems to
be some misunderstanding The bill
included an item of $s1 on account
of his trip to Omaha for Harry Zim-
norman, and the balance was for tax
ing two boys to the state training
school, constable fees, and in fact al
the fees that he had earned since tax
ing Office.
The ground for disallowing the bin
was that the officer had no right to ~
outside of the state in pursuit of {
criminal without first having secured
a requisition from the governor, when
the latter official win appoint an Off
Ger to go, presumably the sheriff.
The motion to disallow received three
votes, and two of the commissioner
did not vote.
Chief Bowen states that he saved the
county 800 of expense by not first &c
ing to st. Paul for requisition, and
then to Lincoln, Neb. to serve it ON
the governor of that state, and then
back to Omaha for the prisoner, who
might have been released before al
that formality had been gone through
with. After this, he will secure the
reluisition or will get the prisoner al
his own expense.
Why the board disallowed the bal
ance of the bin is not clear, but ii
will probably be allowed at a subse-
quent meeting. When asked what he
intended to do in regard to the matter,
Mr.. Bowen replied that he had not
decided and did not know that he
would do anything. He lays the &C
ton of the board to personal feeling
against him on the part of one of the
members and bias in favor of an
other official on the part of another
member
Mr.. Bowen states THAT although
the state pays the expense where are
QUESTION is secured, the county has to
reimburse the state, so that the cost in
any event is paid by the county. In
going to Omaha without requisition
he was simply following custom that
has been In voge for years
