sitively the largest circulation
of all German papers published
IN the State Of Texas.
1t has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 post-ofices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston

state.
Two travelling men and our
very active local agents are con-
tinuously adding new sub

In consideration of these facts
the "FREIE PREssE FUER TEXAS

tising medium in the State OF
Texas, where it is the object to

pulation.

The GRAND JURY
SEEMS LONESOME
MEETS WITH NO COHEN CASE TO
CONSIDER.
Members of That Body Have About
Done to Bring Ames' Aide to Book.

AS subject for investigation Jo-t
seph Cohen, some time lieutenant to
Mayor Ames, has been finally dis
missed by the grand jury and county
attorneys office of Hennepin county.
The man who, under stress of cir
cumstances, once pleaded guilty Of the
charge of bribery, subsequently with
drew the charge and was thereafter
indicted fourteen times, tried twice
and then given freedom from pend
ing prosecution by the rulings Of
Judge Simpson. will never be tried
again, in all probability. Inasmuch
as all the cases against him must be
nolled on the ground that he was
relieved from prosecution because of
his testimony before the grand jury,
the Hennepin county officials are de-
cided that further attempts at prose-
cution would be futile.
The present grand jury is there
fore, to-day, devoting it's attention al
most entirely to Jail cases and beyond
these and some recommendations for
a new floor to the county jail and
some possible attention to former
Captain Charles r. Hill will have
nothing to do at this session.

GEN. BECKER VERY I'LL

Well Known Minnesota Citizen Is Down
with Pneumonia.
General George I. Becker, a prominent
figure in Minnesota history for more than
alf-century is seriously ill with pneu-
monia, at his home, COL Summit avenue,
ST. Paul. He was alderman and mayor OF
ST. Paul in the early ffties, has served in
the state legislature, and was on the rail-
way and warehouse commission for mum
Der of years. In 1859 and 1894 he was the
nominee of the democratic party for gov
ernor.
Last evening General Becker was to
have attended the semi cele-
bration Of Minnesota chapter, No. 1, Royal
Arch Masons, which was organized in his
office in st. Paul in 1853. General Bec2s

BAD YoEnHs SENTENCED
Purse snatcheh Sent to Reformatory
-Elge to saltwater.

de- !. 4 a. ri .s
Purse-snatcheh Sent to Reformatory
-Elge to Saltwater.
Two erring youths were sent to serve
the holidays behind the bars this
morning by Judge Simpson of the dis
trict court
Joseph LeClaire, a pocketbook
snatcher, was sent to the ST. Cloud
reformatory, this being his first con-
viction.
Peter Elge, convicted of forgery in
the second degree, was given two years
in Saltwater. Attorney James A. Pc
terson pleaded for a reformatory SEN
tence, in view Of the fact that the
companion who had turned states
evidence in the case, had gotten off
scot free, and his other companion,
Brown, had been given a st. Cloud
sentence after pleading guilty. Judge
Simpson, however, thought that a
young man who had spent the sum-
mer entirely with a gang whose men,
bers unquestionably would not hest
tate at murder to carry out their de-
signs, should be given a states prison
sentence in the interests of equal JUS
tice.
The sentencing of Elge temporarily
disposes of a gang which gave the
police a great deal of trouble during
the summer.

other hearing in the case and Mr.. Long
necker yesterday explained on the stand
that she had been forced by divers cir
cumstances to make the affidavit pre-
sented in evidence altho it was not just
according to the facts.

CAN'T COUNT
A DEAD MAN
COURT WON'T RECOGNIZE SUCH
A DEFENDANT IN A sun.
An Application for Change Of Venue
by Three. Defendants Is Not Allowed
Because One Of Them Is Dead
Judge Harrison's Ruling in an I'm
usual Case

A dead man may not be counted a
defendant in a proceeding at law. is
the ruling made by Judge Harrison of
the district court In the case of George
S. Grimes against Spencer Erickson,
S. r.. Child, C. III. kohler, Henry J..
Hosmer and Ida Gahl.
A petition was presented asking for
a change Of venue to Kandiyohi coun-
ty, where, it was represented, ma
jority Of the defendants lived, and
where, under the statutes, the case
Should, therefore, properly be tried.
1t was assumed that the applica-
ton for change of venue was made
Henry Hosmer of Kandiyohi county,
constituting a majority of the defend
ants. But an affidavit presented by
the two defendants who did not want
the case transferred, showed conclu-
sively that Hosmer was dead at the
time that the demand for change
of venue was made. This left only two
names signed to the application, and,
the defendants being equally divided
as to the desired place for the hear
ing, the case remains in Hennepin
county, where it was commenced.
In a memorandum attached to the
order preventing the change of venue,
Judge Harrison says:
II have no idea that a change of
venue can be effected so as to GUST
the court of jurisdiction in the mat
in the name of parties not in exist
ence.
1T is undisputed that Henry J.
Hosmer, named as one of the defend
ants, was dead prior to the commence
| ment of the action, SO that the demand
for a change was only made by the
defendants Spencer Erickson and S.
/ p hi fxxyo 0fI \
PENDANTS who did not join in this de-
mand; therefore, it did not come with
in the provisions of section /, chapter
"a, of the general laws of the state OF
Minnesota for the year 1903, which
provides that where, in any cause of
action, there are several defendants
residing in different counties, the &C
ton shall be brought in the county
where a majority of said defendants
shall unite in such demand
1.-The majority of the defendants did
not unite in the demand, therefore it
was void and of no force to effect a
change.
The counsel for the defendants APP
pearing commended that the demand
bearing the name of Henry J. Hos
mer and two other defendants, was
fore, would GUST the court of any juris-
diction to pass upon the application
and demand.
'This, we think, would be a very
unreasonable construction of the stat
ute. When the court finds that nc
such demand has been made as the
law provides shall work transfer OF
the case, then 1T seems to me that
it the duty Of the court to inter
fere and see thatsthis cause is not sent
from the county where it was properly
commenced.''1t
