ORDINANCE IS No GOOD.
So Holds Judge Cray in the
Peddler's Case.
Richardson is Re-Arrested Under the
State Law, and Its Constitutional
ity is At acked.

Judge Cray this morning rendered a
decision in the habeas corpus proceed
ings that were brought to secure the
release of Thomas Richardson, the ped
dler, from the city Jail. He found the
city ordinance regulating peddlers
unconstitutional and gave Richardson
his liberty.
Judge Cray says in his memoran-
dunn:
"I'think this case is ruled by state
ex rel LAURA against Wagner, SO
Mimi. 2O6, and that under the rule
laid down in that case the ordinance
| for the violation of which the relator
was convicted is invalid.
Richardson at once commenced his
work again, but was shortly afterwards
arrested on warrant charging him
with having violated the state law of
1901, which requires peddlers to secure
licenses from the villages and cities
where they do business.
W. R. .Geddes appeared in the NUM-
cipal court for Richardson and moved
that the action be dismissed on the
grounds that the law is unconstitutional
and that the city council has not
passed an ordinance to carry the law
into effect here. The court took until
9 80 a. m. tomorrow to decide the
motion, and without pleading to the
charge Richardson was committed to
the county Jail in default of 5000
bonds. He has again sent for the man.
ager of his house.
City ttorney Daley states that he
will draw up new ordinance on the
su biect that he thinks will stand the
test of the courts. The council will
no doubt ADOPT it,

A BIG. DEAL.
Westinghouse Purchase Wafer
Power at Little Falls.
Will Put in Big Plant For West,
ern Trade, Also Build an
Electric Road.

Little Falls, Oct. "a. The deal has
at last been closed by which the con-
troll of the Little Falls water power
has passed to number of capitalists
representing the Westinghouse Electric
company.
This means great thighs for this
city. The new company announces its
intention of commencing work next
week upon the construction of an i'm
mense plant for the manufacture of
machinery used by the Westinghouse
company in its western trade, and
promises that its immediate invest
ment will not be less than $500, 600,
while it is the intention ultimately to
invest fully as much more in the con-
summation of plans already con-
ceived
The bargain was closed at meeting
of interested parties at the Antlers
hotel a day or two since at which Vice
President Warren and General Coun-
sci Woods of the Westinghouse COM
pany, and John McCabe, a we'll known
Omaha capitalist, acted for the pur-
chasers and M. M. Williams, presi-
dent of the Little Falls Water Power
company, represented the local interests
involved.
The Westinghouse people give assur-
ances that every effort will be made to
improve the property and induce the
location of other manufacturing insti-
buttons here.
Its plans also ssinlcude the construc-
ton of an electric railway in the city,
which will be constructed next spring.
After that other electric lines are to
be built, one west to Swan.River and
ElmdaIe, and another to the east, to
Pierz and finally to the Mile Laos
lake country. The last named line
will be used for logging proposes.
The company's engineer will arrive
in the city next week to make pre-
liminary surveys. He will be met
here by the men named above, who are
pushing the deal to fnality.
The vast project which has thus
happily been consummated, has been
under negotiation for several weeks
past, and the citizens of the town have
been very much interested, inasmuch
as it promises great things for the in
dustrial future of the city

BOTH BOUND OVER.
The Tankes are Held Without
Bail.
Sensational Evidence Given By One of
States Witnesses at the ST.
Peter Hearing.

Only one new witness was brought
on the stand at St. Peter yesterday at
the preliminary examination of the
Tankes. This was F. J. FRANKIE of
New Ulm, who testified to having
gone to work on the Wellner farm in
March, 1899, and having worked there
until August of the same year. He
said that he often found Tanke and
Mrs. Wellner in compromising posi-
tions, and that Tanke even boosted to
him of a criminal intimacy with Mrs.
Wellner both before and after the
murder of her husband. He also said
that Tanke spoke to him of organizing
gang of highwaymen, saying that it
would be easy money, and that if any
one came in their way he would put
them out of the way. He also said
that Tanke exercised an influence over
Mrs Wellner, and at times was brutal
in his treatment of her; that in a
cornfeld he grasped her by the neck,
forced her to her knees and made her
beg his pardon. He brandished a
corn knife over her head, and said if
she didn't do as he said he would cut
her head off.
The witness said the little girls of
the murdered man told him that their
father was not at supper the night of
the murder, and that they did not see
him about the house that evening.
He said that during his stay there
Tanke and he were quite intimate,
and that the latter told him he had
finally accomplished his plans and was
boss of the place.
Mrs. Bretha Fritz today testified to
Ia conversation had with Mrs. Wellne1
Jan. 23d, 1899. Mrs. Wellner said that
her husband had ..quarreled with the
hired man and that it had cost him
his life. he had trouble with all his
hired men. Richard 'Bieraugel,
brother of the defendant, Mrs. Tanke
formerly Mrs. Wellner), took the
stand against his sister. He said that
Mrs. Wellner, before her husband
murder, had said that Wellner was
| very cranky and that she would have
to getaway from him very soon.
J During..her brother ssstestimonyssMrs.
Tanke broke down and wept in the
court room.
Joseph Wild was recalled and said
that when Wellner's body was found
he got quilt to put over it. Mrs
Wellner took.it away from him, say
ing that it was too good for that pur
pose.
This concluded the states evidence
and the defense waived further ex
animation. Mr.. and Mrs. Tanke wer'
held to the grand jury without bail OF
the charge of murder in the first de
gree. 1t is thought that the state ha
established a strong case.
