Everyone should earnestly demand of
his member of the State Legislature that
more power should be given to our State
Board of Health to prevent the pollution
of streams that are the sources of domestic
supply. 1t should be made criminal of
fence to pollute such water in any way.
Then, with sufficient grant of money to
carry forward the crusade against it, the
pollution of water would quickly become a
thing of the past. One conviction of such
an offender would speedily stop hosts of
others in every part of the State. We
earnestly believe that the immediate good
result would follow in the improved state
of health in every part of the State. Pol
luted water causes diseases among cattle
or loads milk with germs which go far
from the original source to produce disease
and death to many households

A breach OF promise case Of Mary
M. Birum VS. Isaac Johnson was
the first case to be called fol. jury
trial. The case had its pleasant.an
unpleasant sides, and the evidence
was thoroughly enjoyed by the large
crowd present all day Thursday.
Mr.. Johnson did not make "a good
witness, but Mrs. Birum was
coached to perfection, OF. else natur-
ally made a star witness. Once in a
while, when some delicate question
was being answered, Mrs. Birum
assumed an air of maiden modesty
and shyness that would have done
credit to a girl sweet sixteen. For
instance, when she told about the
venerable old citizen closing the
door to shut them from her mother,
and placing both arms around her,
and kissing hersseveral times. with
syrupy words Of a young and ar
dent Romeo, then did Mrs Byrum
meekly bow, put in cherry hue on
her cheeks, aud say those words
softly which it was never intended
to be uttered inpublic. Then.again,
when Mr.. Howard asked her Wheth-
er she had not always been will
ing to carry out her promise Of mar
riage, and WOULD marry him even at
this time, she slyly, almost coauet-
tishly Whisked her head at the attor-
ney, and in words spoken SO softly

they seemed even to melt the big

they seemed even to melt the big
hearted attorney, she said:
Why yes, if he would promise to
behave himself, and be good to me,
[ would marry him.
1t took less than half an hour to
secure a jury, and then Mr.. How
ard opened the case for the plaintiff,
stating what he expected to prove.
At the close OF this he called Mr..
Johnson, the defendant, for cross
examination under the statutes. Mr..
johnson stated that he first met
Mrs. Birum at the county fair Of
l899 The meeting was at the home
of John Thomas, in this CITY,. He
admitted having afterwards called
upon her for half a dozentimes dur
ing the next two weeks, and before
he went to New Mexico. His calls
we're in the evenings and they con-
tinued up to 9 o clock, he going to
Mrs. Birum's house shortly after

days, denied ever having given her
SO, denied ever having placed his
arm or arms around her. or with
having kissed her, but stated that
the whole cause Of his calls was to
give her information regarding corf-
ditions in New Mexico
At this point Mr.. Howard at
tempted to get at Mr.. johnson S
worth financially. Mr.. Clark OBJ
jected, and half an hour was spent
in looking up authorities, with the
result that Judge Webber finally
overruled Mr.. Clark S objection and
the evidence was taken by the stem
ographer. He said that when he
met Mrs. Birum in 1899 he had a
farm in Sheridan of 160 acres, an
other in Paxton of the same size,
|and a residence and nine. acres of
land in this city The farm proper.
ty he then considered worth $40
per acre and his residence property
about 81 900 in total. He denied
ever having any talk whatever with
Mrs. Birum regarding the property,
upon which he was excused and the
plaintiff in the action was called to
the witness stand
She is 81 years of age. She first
met Mr.. johnson on Sept. Goth or
21st, 1899. at the county fair. Mrs.
Birum stated that Mr.. ] ohnson came
|up and introduced himself, and af-
ter a short talk he left her. On
Sept. 10th She had a general talk
with him. On Oct. Goth she met
him at John Thomas house, and II
was here that the old soldier estab-
Ilished himself as a match h-maker by
suggesting to Mrs. Birnm and M {.
johnson, who was also there, that
they mate up. Mr.. Johnson seemed
to be impressed with the idea, but
Mrs. Birum states that she prefer
red not to mate up on such short
ascquai tance, and certainly not I'M
It'll after Mr.. Johnson called on her.
He then asked me, she continued,
whether he could call told him
yes. When2 would that evening be
satisfactory Yes Mr.. Johnson,
according to the witness, called that
evening and nearly every evening
thereafter, as well as during the
The Redwood gazette., 1901-11-13

day Sundays. He told Mrs. Birum
about his desire to marry a girl he
once knew back in Canada, but she
had shown an unsatisfactory dispo-
]sition on his recent trip there, and
when Mrs. Birum said that hemight
]overlook that feature and still marry
the lady, Mr.. J ohnson is accused Of
saying:
. No, / will not marry her because I
am going to marry you, if you will
have me. | want you to take care of
me in sickness and in health
The witness stated that Mr.. John-
son told her that he liked corn and
thrown bread which she had made to
his satisfaction, and also, after her
asserting to the proposal, be said
that he would go to New Mexico, "a
warmer climate than Minnesota, and.
as soon as he found a proper place
for them to reside he would come
back after her. He told hersof his.
property interests, said that he had
enough to care for them both, his.
annual income being a neat sum,
and said that he did not.want her to
do any hard work, not. even the
family washing, but simply make
her a nice little bird in home vet

statement made against Mr.. john
son by plaintiff.
s. Mr.. ] ohnson called on Mrs. Birum
| for a period of three weeks, almost
every evening, and on each occasion
l5he brought fruit-apples, etc, with
| him, and it appeared again to be the
Iold story OF the Garden of Eden.
Shortly before he left for New
Mexico he got my name aud age to
give to the clerk issuing the mar
riage license. He further wanted
4 to know if I preferred to be married
/ by a minister or a justice Of the
peace. I told him that my first
marriage was sbya minister and that
1sit had turned out unlucky and that
| 8 thought / would try a justice this
time. At that time Mr.. Johnson
told me that he might be back from
New Mexico in three weeks and
might not until spring. He told me
that / must be ready for the mar
riage when he came back. The
might We became engaged he put
his arm around me and kissed me. Z
Mrs. Birum was slightly indis-
/ posed the light before Mr.. johnson
left for New Mexico Mr. Johnson
called, and said, according to the
witness, that if she was going to be
sick he would remain She claimed
that her indispo position was trivial
and urged him to go. She had pre-
pared his lunch basket and placed
1it5on the table, and then
Mr. ohnson closed the door
