Mr.. Williams has prepared the bill of
the city against the county for muni-

foots up to $67O, or $50 less than VIM.
ID. Donaldson, the expert accountant,
reported it to be. This leaves the county
indebted to the city $50. The county
has another claim against the city to-
offset the claim for municipal court

SUIT FOR $4,000.
Chas. II. Smith Sues the c.

A LeSneur Man Desires His Wife and
Her Paramour Arrested. for
Adultry.

Chas. 81. Smith, as administrator of
the estate of Walter Smith, deceased,
has commenced an action against the
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
company to recover $5, 900 damages for
the death of his son. which occurred
Sept 10th last. The complaint. which
was served Friday, alleges that switch
ing was being done near Vine street,
and that car was kicked off and
allowed to go at high speed, with no
one on or near it to warn children and
others of the danger. Walter tried to
climb up on the car and get ride, but
fell down and was instantly killed.
The boy was seven years of age. The
complaint alleges that the defendant
was negligent In not having it's yards
fenced off in so popular a part of the
city, where large numbers of people
use the track, and that it was negli-
gent in allowing the car to go unat-
tended. Thos. and Evan Hughes are
attorneys fertile plaintiff.
The suit of John T. Lewis and wife
against Thomas D. Lewis and others,

The witnesses for the plaintiff were ]
r. Thompson, John T. Lewis, L. M
Pugh and John w. Lewis. Those for
the defense were Thos. B. Lewis,
Edward Davis. John W. Roberts, John
Price and Griff Williams. In re-
buttal, John T. Lewis and G.. D. Jones
were called.
The next case for trial is that of
Chas. P. Merickel VS.. E. G.. Herring
g Co.
Mr.. Monsell, of LIE Sueur, called on
County Attorney Hughes Monday and de
sired warrant for the arrest of his
wife and young man who he claimed
is living with her in North Mankato, on
the charge of adultry. The couple is
one that was before the police court a
few weeks ago on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. The woman's sen.
tence was suspended on condition that
she leave the city, and she moved over
the river. Her husband said that she
had forsaken him and several small
children for young man who was
working at Le Sueur, and both came to
Mankato. 1t appears that a Is year
old son of the couple has been staying
with Mrs. Monsell until recently, when
he returned to his father at LIE Sueur,
and his report of the condition of affairs
seems to have caused Monsell to act.
The county attorney took time to look
into the matter. The young man claims
that the woman is simply keeping house
