Morgan. Loses on Every
Point Raised.

Judge Webber has quashed tie
alternative writ of mandamus in the
case of 90 citizens of Morgan VS.. the
Board of County Commissioners of
Redwoo County, issued to compel
the latter to proceed with the con-
struction Of suitable buildings for
poor farm purposes, on the 40 acres
decided by the 29 citizens to the
county for poor farm purposes, or
show cause why they did not do so.
Readers of The GAZETTE are thor
oughly conversant with the facts of
the case, and a recital is unneces-
sary. Suffice it to say that the case
was argued before Judge Webber,
in chambers at New Ulm, instead of
waiting for the opening of court
yesterday, as was expected, and tt e
attorneys on both sides submitted
their briefs to Judge Webber. The
latter had had the case under con-
sideration for some time, and he or
ders the alternative writ of manda-
mus quashed and discharged, Civ
ing the following decision:
"An alternative writ of manda-
mus having been duly issued and
served in the above entitled pro-
ceeding, the respondents move that
said writ pe quashed on the grounds,
among others, that said alternative
writ does not state facts sufficient
to entitle the plaintiff and relator to
the relief demanded in the writ, nor
to any relief whatever.
Il have carefully examined the
able briefs of the respective attor-
news and the accessible authorities
therein referred to and am of the
opinion that none Of the authorities
cited are directly applicable TO the
case and do not determine the ques-
tion involved. In my opinion the
motion of the respondents should
be granted on the following grounds:

A CHRISTMAS KIDNAPPING.
Flaxen Haired Beauty Recaptured After
a Wild Chase In Country.
She was gone!

She was gone!
A dozen pairs of eyes searched
frantically for her in every nook and
Granny, but she was not to be found.
Then some one remembered seeing a
couple of strangers about the place.
Another had seen her in their COM
pany. A third had noticed the
strangers driving rapidly away. 1t
was enough. The chain of evidence
was complete.
Now for the pursuit and recapture!
The best obtainable horse was ordered
and two fearless young men who had
offered themselves, prepared for the
hazardous undertaking. At last,
after much vexatious delay, they were
off. The horse was eager and needed
little urging, and the mile posts fell
rapidly TO the rear.
A fierce gale blew from the north
west and chilled them to the marrow,
but their hearts were fixed on a de-
termined purpose and they never fall
tered. They were hours behind, but
they knew the course the fugitives
would take and overhauling them was
merely a question of time. Atlast when
one OF the pursuers had begun to
grow faint from exposure they refined
their foaming and painting steed at a
farm house and told their errand.
The fugitives had passed that way
and we're known to be not many miles
further on. A sturdy knight of the
soil took the exhausted young mans
place and the pursuit continued. Fin
ally, when the gallant horse had near
ly reached its limit of endurance, the
fugitiyes were sighted and over
hauled.
Then, seeing there was no alterna-
tive, they gave over their fair captive,
seeking to explain their conduct with
plausible tales The beautiful maid
ems costly gown bore marks that told
of the rough handling to which she
had been subjected and the dust of
the road was upon her. but the lines
of her innocent features had re-
manned untouched by the palsying
hand of fear.
So they bore the faxen haired
beauty home in triumph and the-e
was great rejoicing she was
worth $11-50 and it was known
that, if her purchaser ever learned of
the egregiou bluader that had sent
her IS miles : . the country ! e would
be hopping ma and might go so far
as to withdraw his custom from the
store.
