PARTNERSHIP BROKE UP
TWO COLORED FARMERS MEET
WITH DIFFICULTIES.

Judge Hine, in the civil branch of the
municipal court, heard a novel case yes
terday afternoon, that of o. D. Claiborne
against Fred Mills, in which the plaintiff
sued to recover $50 alleged to be due from
the defendant on promissory note. Both
men are colored, and according to the
testimony were partners In a farming
business. The chief products raised for
the market were potatoes and chickens.
They also raised other gardening truck
From the facts gathered yesterday, Mills
alleged that after they had been in busi-
ness together fer some time and every
thing was going along nicely, he dis
covered that his partner was taking the
chickens and potatoes without his knowi-
edge. On satisfying himself that such
was the case Mills took the wagon,
harness and pillow land sold these for
SIS. The next thing he did was to have
an accounting and settlement with Clai-
borne. This, Mills. claims, showed that
Claiborne had just So coming to him az
his share of the partnership. He alleges
that he gave Claiborne a note for the SIS.
which he paid later the same day and
took Claiborne'si receipt for 1t In, full.
Mills, in testifying yesterday, also alleged
that this note had been raised from So to
$50 by Claiborne. Judge Hine, after hear
ing the evidence on both sides, took the
matter under advisement.

f. w. HOVER, APPARENTLY IN
SANE, HUNTED FOR THE
GOVERNOR
MUTTERED MANY THREATS
From Rambling Utterances 1t Was
Gathered That He Intended
Harm if His Plea Was
Refused.

There was quite stir at the capitol
yesterday morning when an inoffensive-
looking old German walked In and asked
Messenger Douglas for the governor. He
manifested the greatest anxiety for an
immediate conference with his excel
lency and would brook no delay, but
Custodian Trowbridge kept him discussing
the question until the police arrived and
Waltzed him off to the station. His
name is Frederick w. Hoyer, and his
home is in Henderson, and remarks he
had dropped casually about town indi-
Gated that he entertained murderous de-
Sires toward Gov. Van SAINT. George ID.
Phillips, restaurant keeper, sent an
advance warning to the capitol. It seems
that Hoyer, while In his restaurant, had
talked~in a rambling manner about want
ing the governors help in some matter,
and that if he didn't get it something
might go wrong"
1t developed that Hoyer's wife is in
the st. Peter asylum and the old man
thinks that she is unlawfulIy detained
there. Some weeks ago he wrote let
ter to the governor asking his assistance
in securing his wife's release from the
asylum.
The letter was written in German, and
was very well written, and contained no
threatening language. Hoyer has been
around the capitol several times on his
errand. For several nights he has slept
at the police station. He is apparently
demented, but seems harmless. He talk
ed in rambling, incoherent manner, and
probably had no intention of attempting
bodily harm upon the executive. But
it was deemed best to be on the safe
side. and he was arrested upon his APP
pearance at the state house. Nothing
was found on him but dull pocket knife.
He was arraigned in the municipal court
yesterday afternoon. He began to har-
angue the court in an unintelligible man
ner, and Judge Orr continued the case
until the 26th inst, in order that it may
be investigated properly. In all proba-
bility the old man will be sent to Join
his wife at the asylum.

HOW ATTORNEY WALSH EXPLAINS
GEORGE b. WHITEHORNE'S
ABSENCE
HEARING BEFORE GOVERNOR
Lawyer for Defense Contends That
Commissions Report Is Irregu-
lar and Unreliable-TakeR
Under Amusement.

George B. Whitehorne will be back
here one of these days to answer these
charges in person, and he'll answer them
in a manner not to be mistaken de-
clared Attorney Walsh in dramatic fash
ion yesterday morning when the hear
ing before the governor was under way.
The governor and Attorney General
Douglas sat together in the case, while
County Attorney Kane and County All-
ditor Johnson represented the county,
and George Walsh the defense. Attorney
Walsh made a vigorous fight against
Whitehorne's removal from the board of
county commissioners, but adduced moth
ing new or startling to sustain his con-
tention.
Mr. Walsh first moved to set aside the
report of the governors special commits
sion on the ground that it had not taken
the testimony itself, but had delegated
the work to Robert G. Taylor, the Stenog-
rapher. He contended that in doing this
the commission exceeded it's authority.
Evidently this point did not make much
of an impression.
He also wanted stricken from the re-
port all references to the mutilated rec
ordS in the Office of the county auditor,
because the commissioners had not seen
these mutilations themselves, and further
he declared that nowhere in their re-
port have they been able to show that
any of the acts charged were performed
by Whitehorne as county commissioner"
He declared that Auditor Johnson's tes-
timony as to how the records were
changed was mere theory and should
not be considered. He also declared that
nothing had been offered to prove con-
fession on Whitehorne's part to having
mutilated county records. His interview
with Mr.. Johnson might have referred
to taxes which he was owing and would
pay. IF you'll show me sim
gle line that says Whitehorne ever
touched a book I'll throw up the CASE
said Mr.. Walsh.
WAS TAKING A REST.
He intimated that Whitehorne was talk
ing much needed rest and would soon
return to square UP all accounts and de-
fend himself against the charges made.
County Attorney Kane spoke very
briefly, arguing that the testimony in the
case was conclusive; that Whitehorne had
himself confessed his wrongdoing and
his willingness to make good to the
county the amounts due. He thought the
facts We're sufficiently clear to need no
elucidation.
The governor took the case under adj
visement, and will render his decision as
soon as he can look up the law govern
ing his right to remove Whitehorne.

REPAIR SMELLING BRIDGE.

The county commissioners received a
lengthy communication from the war de-

the condition of the bridge at Fort Smell
ing and asking that the board have it re-
paired. Inclosed was an opinion from
the judge advocate general stating he
thought Ramsey county was chargeable
with the repairs of the bridge. This
view of the matter did not seem to strike
the board at all favorably and they re-
ferred the matter to County Attorney
Kane for an opinion
The bridge extends from the city lin
its to the government reservation, which
is in Hennepin county, and the board
thinks that the expense should at least
be shared equally by the two counties
