The Case was Dismissed.

me case WAS DISMISSED.
An adjourned: assault case inswhich
the State Of Minnesota was named as
the plaintiff and William Stannard, .
member of a threshing crew in. the
town of Harrison, was the defend ant,
came up for trial in Judge Otterness'
court last Saturd ~ afternoon at two
o'clock. The complaining witness was
OliverLease, whose residence Is given
as being lin Meeker. county. : The
charge preferred was assault in the
third degree. ~ =
The complaint was sworn out before
Judge Otterness on September Is. It
seems thatsboth parties were members
of q threshfng crew, and on the pre-
vious day an. altercation had ensued
in which Stannard had struck Lease,
the charge being that the former had
wilfnlly, wrongfully and unlswfully
struck, beat, bruised and ill-treated
the latter with his hand. Stannard
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Malm-
berg, brought to Willmar and ar
raigned before Judge Bitterness on the
10Th. An adjournment was taken until
last Saturday and the prisoner was
released upon personal recognizance
of $50 for appearance on the above
date. >.5
In the trial County Attorney John
son appeared for the state and Samuel
Porter for the defense. The case,
however, came to an abrupt end. as it
was dismissed upon the motion of the
county attorney. It had been required
of the complaining witness to furnish
security for the costs of the action, as
is customary in such cases, but he
failed to produce this and what prom
ised to be an interesting case was fin
ally given dismissal.

who question the rightful ownership
OF the dogs, the case is attracting
more than ordinary notice. 1t is an
unusual case and is not lacking in
amusing features.
According to the story of the plain
TIL In the action he was the possessor
OF q valuable English pointer dog,
which he had loaned to the original
owner, q Mr.. Hanson, to be used by
the latter on a hunting trip. The
party of four gentlemen, of which
Mr.. Hanson was q member, passed
through Willmar from the cities some
time in July on their way to the west
ern part of the state. They had some
horses with them besides several dogs
and were dealing in:horses as we'll as
preparing for the opening of the hunt
ing season. Upon arriving at Pen
mock the dog belonging to Mr.. Metz
ger left the party and came to Will
mar. A4search for. the lost animal
here failed to locate it and the party
continued the journey. At Grace
Vile word was sent to Chief of Police
Bonde and a reward for the recovery
of the animal and it's return to the
party was offered. The dog was lost
on the 25th day of July and the party
of horse traders and hunters did not
return to the cities until about three
weeks ago, when Mr.. Metzger was
first informed of the loss of his
property. In the meantime Mr.. Han
son had made diligent search for the
lost animal, and as there was q stand
ing reward for it's recovery it was con-
fidently expected that it would soon be
traced.
Mr.. Metzger instituted an investi
and through Willmar friends, whose
inquiries had resulted in finally
locating the dog, it was learned that
she had given birth to seven pups.
The mother was found on October 8,
but the seven additional arrivals in
dogdom had been distributed among
q 9veral citizens and were not gained
possession of. It is claimed that the
mother first made her home on the
premises of prominent citizen, who
disposed of the offspring to several
others, one of whom at least had
made cash purchase. Pending the
proof of the property, the purchasers
are said to have been willing to re-
store the pups to the rightful owner.
As Mr.. Metzger has not seen them, he
can furnish no description of the lost
dogs and consequently has so far been
unable to gain possession of them.
At least six we'll known citizens are
alleged as being those among whom
the pups were distributed, but the

Slid INTO The CELLAR.
Wall of Old Building coIIapses With
Disastrous Results TO Roby's
Furniture Stock.

Sunday morning about 10
O'Clock the north wall of the
Houghton building, occupied by
e. W, Roby's furniture store,
made n slip-and-slide and slid
into the open cellar of the Simon
Poll building, which is in course
of construction, the walls of the
cellar having been about COM
pleted Saturday, and said cellar,
being in an open and receptive
condition owing to the fact that
Contractor Balfanz hadn't the
slightest suspicion that the
Houghton building would try
to slip in the cellar before his
force would return to work Mon
day morning, and had left the
cellar, as before stated, in q per-
fectly open and defenseless con-
dition.
Those who were on the street
ut the time proceeded to notify
their friends, acquaintance and
prospective friends by phone,
special courier and otherwise, and
soon crowds were investigating
the wonderful work of Nature
or whatever it was.
To make long story short
without beng painfully serious,
it was most wonderful mix-up
that greeted the eyes of the cur
ious populace present. The wall,
which was composed partly of
rock and considerable amount
of dry mud, had crumbled into
the cellar, while the gravel sheet
iron roof had slid over in u solid
piece, almost completely covering
the basement from view. The
joists and ceiling settled down
on Mr.. Roby's stock of furniture
and, in the language of the street
urchin "what it did for the fur.
niture was an elegant sufliciency.'
The Press force, doing business
IN the adjoining palace, has beer
repeatedly warned that life and
limbs were in serious and immi.
nent danger of following in the
wake Of Roby's furniture, and il
may be'that when the big press
is started tonight another rum
bling sound mixed with thu
shrieks and groans of dying ant
suffering printers, devils, devil
esses, editors, associates anC
Office boys may rend the circum
ambient midnight air, and thu
mornings sun look down in sad
ness on the cold and clammy re
mains Of the above describe / per
sonnet. Yes. this may be, but
don't think it will; for while thu
whole push is composed of Casa
biancas, we are every one read,

of noise and have place picked
out to jump.
