The court hGl9s that the section line
starts 65-I00 of a foot east of the stone

claims that he was bitten in deal, anC
asks the court to restore him to the
status which was his before he dealt.
The papers came here from NIankatc
for service ON the defendants.
Mr.. Fieldstad says he owned land in
Price county, Wis, of the values of sl0,-
$50.
OF goods werth SlO5S0 stored at los
South Robert street in twenty seven
packing eases. These goods, so plaintiff
says, Jones said, were such qualities of
dry goods as would see in a country store
engaging the attention and approval OF
customers.
The plaintiff began to pull them over,
making an examination, but $50 his
story proceeds) Jones dissuaded him
from such examination, saying it was not
at all necessary.
Mr. Jones admitted that in the stock
there was other stuff worth, say, 5000,
cheap jewelry, hair pins, stick pins, hat
pins and such smaller articles. Then Mr..
Jones proceeded to read him a long list
OF inventory of the goods in the boxes.
They fixed up a Geal-Jones to take
the Wisconsin property and Fieldstad
to take the goods and open a store.
Fieldstad also agreed to make Mr..
Jones loan of $4,000 on the real estate,
secured by mortage, and then Mr.. Nor
rison came into the deal.
Mr. Jones this is all Fieldstad's story
thought they ought not to wait until
Mrs Jones came back to town from her
sign the mortage with him, and he
brought Morrison forward.
The land owned by Fieldstad was con-
veyed to Morrison and he gave back; the
mortgage.
Mr. Fieldstad then continued his eX
animation Of the twenty-seven packing
cases. He found, he says, that there was
"a large proportion of cheap jewelry and
that the entire stock was not worth
more than $4,000 He believes that the
inventory read was fraudulent one
and wants the court to put him where he
was before the contract rescinded, Nor

for $4,000, PENDANTS restrained from
selling the ii ier on the land sold them
and from selling the land itself.

| The Mankato summer training school
has surpassed the greatest ,ant5cipations
of those directly Interested in iSs organi-
cation and management. Three hGn-
bred and twenty mine young people have
enrolled for work in different depart
Iments and it is a remarkable fact chat

thlnk that &lis unprecedented enrollment
and perfect ATTENDANCE is due to the nor
NAL credits Which the students shall re-
, ceive, in other words they have a double
purpose, namely: the broadening of the
mind and the securing of normal credits
which will be received by fine department
IN lieu of am examination. This p3an has
"a decided advantage over the old style
summer school which did only review
work and gave the pupil teachers moth
ing tangible for 9heir time, money and
labor.
Perhaps one of the best arguments in
favor of the consolidated summer school
such as is being conducted in Mankato
this summer, lies in the fact that every
manner of equipment is at hand. There

little folks doing, work in the first and
second grades throughout the forenoon
and here is the center of much interest
on the part of very large number of
the teachers. Miss Sparrow was for
number of years one of Mrhkatos eff

The general talks given in @the presence
of the whole school by members Of the
faculty and by county superintendents
upon timely topics also constitutes an
interesting feature of the school.
Among the prominent county ssuperin
tendents who, have addressed the school
this week was Superintendent Race of
Redwood county. 1t would he hard for
any educational man to give an address
that would please, elevate and interest
a body of teachers more than Superin-
