The death of E. P. Barnum re-
moves from Sank Centres list of
eminent citizens one who was
highly esteemed by all. He was
not only the embodiment of gen.
iality, but his supreme good nature
was infectious. Everybody caught
the inspiration of good will from
his presence. He was a good citi-
ger, a good public officer. a good
friend,0 a good man. The state,
the county, the city-yes, human
ity itself-is the poorer by reason
of his death.

tions. The courts decision was
against him. He was the nominee of
the Democrats in the fierce inferno
cine fight among the Republicans in
the old Fifth district, when Knute
Nelson and G.. F. Kindred each
claimed to be the regular Republican
nominee. Mr. Nelson was the success
full candidate. His removal to ST.
Cloud came in 1892, having been ap-
pointed clerk of court t. succeed A.
l.. Cramb, resigned, Nov. 81, 1892. He
was subsequently elected to the office
in 1894 and in 1898. His administra-
ton of the Office was marked by a
keen intelligence and a devotion to
duty, that made his Office one of the
model institutions of it's kind in the
state. In addition to his duties at
the court, he had been for some years
secretary of the Central Minnesota
Building and Loan association, and
here too his abilities found a field for
occupation.
Some years ago Mr.. Barnum &C.
quired the SAUK CENTRE AVALANCHE
and editing it personally for some
years still owned and controlled the
newspaper when he died. He was
a writer of ability and his paper has
ever beena reflex of his personal and
political honesty and his kindly, gen
erous spirit. For many years he had
been an active member Of the Mime
sofa Editors and Publishers %associa-
tion and had attended its business
meetings and accompanied its an
nual excursions. He vas popular
among his editorial brothers and last
year when his illness prevented him
going to Buffalo with the association
the officers remembered him with a
beautiful floral tribute of their esteem
and sorrow at his incapacity.
In fraternal circles Mr.. Barnum
was especially prominent. At the
time of his death he was chairman of
the board of custodians of the work of
the grand lodge of Masons of the state
of Minnesota. He had served contin-
ously in the Office since 1865. Years
ago he was grand junior warden of
the grand lodge and by virtue of this
office was a life member of the grand
lodge. While a resident of st. Cloud
he retained his membership in Star of
the West lodge, A. f. and A. NJ,
Sank Centre, and was also a Knight
Templar, member of Damascus COM
mandery, ST. Cloud, and Osman tenn
pie Mystic Shrine, ST. Paul. He was

OF Mr.. Barnum's earlier life a bio

closes his birth at S%tonington, Conn,
June l6, 1881. After receiving a COM
mon school education in his native
town, he entered Troy academy, Rut-

four years. Returning to Stonington,

Move for New Trial.

The attorneys for Mr.. Hall in the
now celebrated damage suit against
the city, have fled motion with the
court for new trial, alleging as a
basis that certain Bedding gentlemen
used undue and improper influence
upon members of the jury which
passed upon the merits of the case.
The matter will come up in the May
term of the Circuit Court opening
next Monday, and the city officials
have not been idly waiting for that
time. City attorney Sheldon and
city clerk Moulton have interviewed
each juror and secured an affidavit
from everyone denying absolutely
that there is any truth in the charges
made so far as their knowledge goes.
The Bedding gentlemen we under
stand do not deny having conversed
with some members of the jury but
not in private way, nor not attempt
ing to influence them improperly.
