Slayton Gazette Charles Johnson was
given verdict Of Dix cents against @. =.
Olsen. Olsen allowed mustard 20 grow
on his farm and the seeds blew over
Johnson's farm. The latter brought suitI
for damages with the above result.
T is the first suit Of the kind tried in
the state, we believe.
In Minnesota this year even state.
nomination is not going to be equiva-.
lent to an election. The administratio
of John Lind has satisfied the people,
and the vote on the gross earning bill
has not been forgotten. There will be
no forty thousand majority for any re-
publican this year. With John Lind for
governor, s. NJ. Owen for lieutenant
governor and q good state and congress
sional ticket added republican success is
by no means certain. st. Peter Herald.
County Attorney a. Y. Rieke holds
that the Porto Rican tariff bill is uncon-
stitutional and openly condemns the
party responsible for the passage Of the
measure. Judge William Lochren, Of
the United States circuit court also holds
4 that the bill is unconstitutional. But all
this doesn't count. The Fairfax Stand
ard, "A. VS. paper, says that the bill is all
right. When Rieke is campaigning this
coming fall he can make speeches in one
locality and send his paper to another
and thus corral the masses. Morton

New York World The inaugural adj
dress of Governor Allen to the Porto
Ricans was eloquent but peculiar. He
called them 'sfellow citizens Of Porto
Rio" mot of the United States, but Of
Porto Rico and yet spoke of their be-
ing .'under the same institutions OF free
dom, equality and education" He
rounded off the inaugural ceremony
by taking an oath to support and de-.
fend the constitution of the United
States" although the law under which
he is appointed assumes that the consti-
tuition does not extend to Porto Rice at
all. How can Governor Allen support
the constitution In Porto Rico if it is
not there to be supported .3 81
The work Of explanation goes merrily
on necessitating the occupancy of the
congressional stump nightly during the
campaign. Senators Nelson and Davis
will have no hand in it as they need no
vindlcation on their vote on the Porto
Rico bill; neither should they lend their
aid and influence for those who had the
same enlightenment Of the situation be-
fore casting their votes fol a bill as un-5
popular as it would seem unjust in this
state. The several congressman seem
willing that both our senators should go
as delegates from this state to the ma.
tional convention, but not in vindlcation
of their position on the tariff bill but
because of their prominence as members
Of the republican party. It is really too
bad-isn't it now? Granite Falls Tri-

Coming up on the train the other day
some would-be funny people thought
they would bother the conductor little.
One of them caught small turtle at
one of the stops the train made just out
of Springfield and remarked to the con.
ductor that they would mark it and see
if it ever turned up again. Then the
he was absent the turtle was brought
back into the car and upon the arrival
of the train at Bedford the conductor
was astounded to find the same turtle
crawling up to meet him. He says il
was an awful swift turtle or else he has
mighty slow train.

against the stone fort. the key to the
Spanish line. Lawton etfaced himself
by remaining at the battery. where he
could control the most delicate part
of the operation and furthermore. by
giving credit to Chaifee for the most
brilliant part in the worl; of the day
Captain King tells a story showing
Lawton's self restraint under great
temptation in the Philippines He
says that in the advance on the Pasig
it was impossible for any but the fleet
troopers of Lawton's escort to keep
up with the huge black horse which
carried the stAi%'art commander Sud
denly the advance confronted some 40
Filipinos, who boldly stood up and
waited for the Americans to do some
thing. For Il time LaWton seemed in
clned to charge with his bakers dozen;
but. says King, the veteran Indian
lighters horse sense rose superior to
the troopers lust for fight" and he
waited for the regular advance OF his
main line.
There is another story from the Phil
ippines to the effect that Lawton
would expose himself faallessly to SUI
preme danger when there was occasion
for it. One day when he was upon a
big white horse and was crowned with
large white hat he rode to the firing
line, where some newly landed ma
rines were skullling in the grass in
stead of shooting down INilipinos, as
they We're expected to do. Lawton
laughed gayly and chatted with his
staff while the Mausers sang their
weird battle music, and even after one
of his aids had been punctured through
both knees he stood his ground until
the skulkers got up nerve to do their
duty.
LaWton's own words refute the insin-
uation that he threw his life away
reckleSsly. His advance met the enc
my, and when one of the officers was
hit the general helped carry him out of
the fire to depression. His attention
was called to knot of sharpshooters
who seemed to be making target of
the party Of American officers. and he
was cautioned to be careful. II must
see what is going on on the firing line"
ne said and went up the slope. where
he was soon shot down by fatal bull
let in the breast.

much at stake to warrant needless
risk, but there are times when he must

master hand at scouting.
Lasvton said that he adopted Chat
fees ideas entire. Shafter said that
Lawton was given his way about ham
ding Eel Caney and that he decided to
dispose of the enemy there before tax
ing the right wing forward to the at
tack of Santiago proper, as Shafter in
tended he should in connection with
the other divisions of the corps. Ell
Caney was taken after an all day fight,
in which the Spaniards showed
strength which General Chaffee said
astonished him. The strength OF the
Spanish position lay in the configura-
ton of the ground, a detached foothill
crowned with Il stone fort, numerous
blockhouses and q cluster of buildings
loopholed for rifiemen. The difficulty
WAS to make q dash against it in force
sufficient to prevent the escape of the
enemy without having the assalants
in danger of shooting into one another
or of getting in the pathway of the fire
of their own batteries.
Lawton had but four guns of Ca
pron's battery and with these attempt
ed to raZe the stone fort. But in order
to get the troops into position to hem
in The Spaniards and to dash forward
at the right moment when the fort had
been reduced it was necessary to fire
with caution The result was that the
stone fort held out until the middle of
the afternoon. When it had been 81
fenced. the troops under Chalree and
some from Colonel Miles brigade
charged gailantly and carried the cita-

manned by Capron's guns directing the
discharge or the withholding of the
fire.
Soon after noon and When the other
divisions were fighting nard at San
Juan hill General Shafter sent sec
ond urgent message TO Lawton to leave
El Caney for the time and march for
ward to the attack on Santiago. The
aid who carried the order found Law

short of the scene where the infantry
was fighting. After reading it Lawton
smiled grimly and said: at is too late.
