Rum Against Tavvney.
WINONA, MINN.-It seems the democrats
are not yet out OF their dilemma as to who
they will nominate this year to make the
thankless fight against James A. Tawney for
congress Many of them, as heretofore
noted, in view OF the refusal of L. L. Brown
to make the run again, would like to see
Joseph Leicht of this city undertake the
canvass.
Mr.. Lecht, however, knows the situation
too well to think there is a ghost of chance
of winning, and naturally when predestined
to defeat does not care to get mixed up in
the matter. While he has made no public
utterance, it is understood the democrats are
now looking elsewhere for candidate.
Senator Peter McGoyern OF Waseca and
Senator William Gausewitz Of Owatonna are
spoken Of as possibilities, but the nomination
is still up in the air. 1t Is already practical
ly assured that Congressman Tawney will
meet with no opposition for the republican
nomination.

MADE TO GIVE PEACE BONDS
Singular Condition of Affairs in Two
South Dakota Families.

j b.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D.--A peculiar condition
Of affairs In the families OF two farmers Of
this (Minnehaha) county is revealed by the
placing OF George Wells, farmer living in
Clear Lake township under bonds OF $500 to
keep the peace
A neighboring farmer named w. r. schra-
der was responsible for the arrest of Wells,
who had only recently been released from the
penitentiary, where he served term for
stealing wheat. According to the stories told
by Schrader and by Wells and his wife, the
two latter compelled Schrader to pay over to
Wells the sum OF $500 and permit Wells to
take his pick of the horses in Schrader's
barn. s=
It appears that after Wells returned home,
after being released from the penitentiary, he
made the discovery that his wife and Schra-
der had been intimate; in fact. it is said the
couple admitted their guilt Wells wife,
strange to say, in the subsequent develop
ments. sided width her husband.
They went together to the home Of schrader
and demanded that he pay them the sum OF
$1,000 In satisfaction for the injury done to
the reputation Of the Wells household. Schra-
der refused to pay over the money, when
Wells produced gun and compelled his
neighbor to pay him $500 and give him a
horse. - .Ez.. HI ---.
The authorities have forced Wells to return
the money and horse, in addition to having
him placed under peace bond.
