henViIle County Democrats Thus
Eulogize Mr.. Bryan.


OLIVIA, MINI, June 14-(Special1-
The Democrats of Renville county today
met at the armory, in the village of
Olivia, to elect 16 delegates to attend
the state Democratic convention at st.
Paul on the 20th day of June, 1900
Resolutions were adopted recognizing
the greatest statesman of the age, and
the sincere lover of the common people,
William j. Bryan, and heartily support
ing his candidacy for the nomination for
president of the United States at the
national convention to be held at Kan
sas City, July 4th next Resolutions were
further adopted denouncing the Republi-
can party for its acts of Imperialism and
for It's violation of the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which our government is
founded, and denounced 1t for its atti-
tude towards the people of Porto Rico.
its unjust and pernicious tariff tax con-
trary to the constitution of the United
States, at the dictation of the combined
trusts, whose contributions to the Repub-
lican campaign fund could not even when
principle was involved be ignored. We
denounce the Republican party for plum
dering the treasury of the United States
when at the cost of twenty millions of
the peoples money the Philippine islands
We're acquired, and their people purchas-
ed, thereby making it necessary to main
tain a standing army in the island of
Luzon for the purpose of quelling the
spirit of liberty that there prevails
We express our sympathy for the strug-
Cling heroes of the South African repub-
lies, now engaged in that God d-given
right OF the human race for which our
forefathers fought, for the liberty of their
lives and their Posterity. We denounce
the Republican administration and the
Republican press in their efforts to con-
vince the shyiocks of England that the
American people countenance their efforts
to deprive the sturdy people of their
liberty and their country. We adhere to
the principle enunciated in the Chicago
platform of the Democratic party of 1896
Resolutions were adopted indorsing the
wise and patriotic administration of
Hon. John Lind as governor of the state
of Minnesota, also expressing by resolu-
ton favoring the candidacy of Hon. c.

CARELESS SURVEYS
Cause Endless Troubles in SOuth
Dakota

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 14-(Spe-
ciai)-At intervals during the past six or
eight years miniature instructions have
broken out among the farmers in some
portions of Turner county, due to the
cafelessness of the government surveyors,
who, in the early days of Dakota, sur
Veyed the central portion of the state.
At that time it was believed that part of
the state would never be settled, and be-
cause of this belief the surveyors were
more careless than they might otherwise
have been. AS the result of their care
less methods of running lines, farm
ers who homeSteaded the land, when
they made final proof discovered in
many instances that instead of having
l60 acres of land, they had perhaps as
high as 240 acres while in numerous 9TH
er instances, farmers who thought they
were securing quarter section, diScoV-
cred that their tracts were sixty or eighty
acres short of the required amount. Great
sums of money have been expended in
efforts to straighten out the lines, and
thousands of dollars have been squander-
ed in litigation over the lines, while those
who have received broken heads or limbs
in personal encounters over the lines are
numberless. For a year or two peace has
reigned supreme, but now word is re-
ceiYed here that the trouble has broken
out afresh. Some residents of Turner
township, turner county, had a personal
encounter day or two ago over the loca-
ton of the boundaries of their land, and
as result, Henry Hammond has been
arrested on complaint of Richard Will
lams, on the charge or assault with a
dangerous weapon uDOn Henry Williams
Hammond has just had his preliminary
examination, and has been bound over
IN the sum of 5000 bonds to appear at
the next term of the circuit court to an
SWer to the charge. Owing to the re-
opening of the old fight, prospects are
favorable for other encounters and whole
sale arrests in the near future

al.)-At the Houston county convention
held here today the following resolutions
were adopted:
ResOlved-First, That the Democrats Of
Houston county, in convention assembled,
tndorse the able administration of Gov.

penses of our state government
Third, That we denounce the Republl-
can party for it's So-called imperialistic
policy, extravaganza in public affairs, and
the continued burdens of high taxation.
Fourth That the Republican party $
effort during the last few days of the
first session of the Flfty-sixth congress
to pass "a e constitutional amendment au-
thorlzing congress to legislate to restrain
trusts. was simply a move to direct the
attention of the voters from the real dis
position of that party to help trusts all
1t could and to reward those corporations
who have contributed to its compaign
funds.
The convention was for William Jen-
nings Bryan for president.

why Mayor Thompson Wa. Defeated

PRESTON MINI, June 14-(Special y
Ex-M Mayor A. w. Thorn 3son was defeated
at the April election because, as a mem
Der of the school board. he compelled the
to make good the funds lost by the latter
through the collapse of the Fillmore
County bank. Thompson is a heavy
property owner in the village, and dur
ing his administration he made MANY
public improvements One of his last
acts, officially. was to sign a lease of the
fair grounds to ]. B. Grobey, who is US
purposes, and who. in common with ali
other citizens, drives about the village
streets. The new council has ordered
Grobey to discontinue this and the lat
ter has defied the authorities II Ia
thought the order to Grobey is more Of
an attempt at revenge on Mr. Thompson
than grievance against Grobey.
