A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Latest Phase Of the MadeIia Warehouse
Litigation.

8
VIM. D. Tanning. of Madelia. re-
Gently fled claim for over pa. 600
with B. c. Taylor, receiver for the
Farmers Warehouse Co. of that place,
this being the amount of judgment
on a note against the company. Mr..
Taylor has responded by bringing a
suit against Tanning and the direc-
tors OF the company to set aside this
claim on the ground that the note was
given by the directors as directors to
themselves as individuals and then
transferred it to Tanning, and that it
is fraudulent against the receiver so
far as the directors are concerned, and
that Tanning never paid anything for
it. w. s. Hammond is attorney for
Tanning and the directors, and Min
neapolis firm appears for Mr.. Tyalor.
Mr.. Hammond's answer is that the
note was transferred to Tanning as
trustee for the purpose of bringing the
action for the benefit Of the directors
as individuals, and that the claim is
just and valid one.
II the receiver has good luck he ex-
poets to pay the creditors forty cents
on the dollar.

be admitted that the tendency of the

THE TAX COLLECTION.

The total amount of taxes collected
by the county treasurer from June list
to Nov. LIST was about $44. 500. 1t is
estimated that the city's share of this
will be not less than 1900, which is
the amount received year ago from
these tax collections. 1t is expected
that when the city receives this it will
have about $4,000 available for the
taking up of city notes

the girl fatner 10 look hIter ner In
terests, made an appeal to Judge
Lochren in her behalf, referring to the
fact that she is but fifteen years of age,
and has always been q hard working
girl and borne an excellent reputation.
He spoke of the respectability of the
family, and thought that light SEN
tence would do as much good in this
case as q harder one. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Purdy also spoke in the
girls behalf, saying that he believed
that the ends of justice would be as
fully met by fine as by restraint of
liberty.
The young lady exhibited emotion
for the first time and sobbed while the
attorneys were speaking, and everyone
in the court room was affected by the
scene. The spectators included Prof.
c. F. Koehler' class in civics from the
normal school
Judge Lochren was affected by the
touching features Of the case and gave
some good counsel to the girl. He
stated that he had concluded to make
the sentence light, and imposed a fine
of 5000.
Postmaster w. R. Edwards, of Tracy.
one of the governments witnesses,
paid the fine, advancing the money for
Mr.. Smith, who had signifed his in
tention of paying at once whatever the
fine should be. BY his act. Mr.. Ed
wards saved the girl from being COM
mitted to the custody of the marshal
and procured her pr ompt discharge.
The case is peculiar one, for the
family is well-to-do and this is the
young lady's first offence She has not
seemed at any time to realize the enor-
NIFTY of her misdeed, but has continu
ed to deny the charge, even when the
evidence seemed to be unquestionable.
She very reluctantly gave her consent
, to enter the plea of guilty, and only
did 80 after long urging by her attor-
neys and friends. who reasoned with
her on the futility of going TO trial
against such convincing evidence as
he government had. No one who has
examined the evidence believes that
the girl can be other than guilty. al
though she entered her plea under
protest.
Miss Smith is large girl for her
age, yet she is not feshy. She has
been accustomed to assisting in work
on the farm. Her father has done
business for long time with the Chi
cago house to which the forged order
was sent, and has received various
gifts of value, including a buggy and
a valise from it. When the watch
came to Martha, the rest of the
family thought that it was another gift
from the house
The money order was altered by
erasing the line that was drawn
through the dollar space and writing
out the words ''sixty-nine. and
placing the figures 500 in front of the
20 where the figures occurred. The
erasure is very plain, and it is viola
ton of the postal rules to issue such
an order. Where an erasure is neces-
sary the order is cancelled and sent in
to the department and another order
issued in its place.

OUR PREMIUM FURNITURE.
According to Present Figures the
Governors Vote is 5,743.

The total vote for Governor has run a
little higher than according to the re-
turns Wednesday we thought it would.
Our returns yesterday were complete
from all the districts, but unofficial, and
of course the decision will await the
official count, which will not take place
until next Monday. At present the
figures aggregate Stab. The official
count may change then materially or
none at all. We are inclined to think
they are approximately correct.
We are strongly inclined to the opinion
now that the official count will not make
the vote under 100 or over $500; and
those guessing between those numbers
are as follows:
Mrs. s. G. Beal, Carter's Creek. 5,756

Usually Republican, Gives Bryan a
Plurality of 256.

The ninth district, which is usually
Republican, gave Bryan plurality over
Mckinley this year of 256. In 1896
Bryan received 6S3, and Mckinley 669,
making total OF 1852, with a plurality
Of IA for Bryan. This year 5S3 votes
were cast for Bryan and ga for Nc
Kinley, making total of $40. This is a
falling of OF 542 from the vote cast in
1896. The decrease in the number of
votes cast, and the increased Democratic
majority, is accounted for by reason Of
the fact that the present ballot system
was not in force in 1895, and many ne
groes could not vote this year.
