Unconscious, blinded and helpless,
the man was cared for. His skin is

brakeman routed him out.

owner has a clear title. Zell has been

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 12.-When
the horse show was on it was stated
that William j. Bryan wanted the pair
of chestnut carriage horses entered in
the show by Charles Rasor, of Normal,
Ill. Word was received today that Mr..
Bryan had purchased the team, paying

Mr.. Rasor admits that the Nebraskan

the city few days after the show and
again looked over the horses, express
ing desire to try them. Mr.. Rasor
| demurred because of the trouble of
hitching up.
"Tll help you," said Mr.. Bryan, and
hes Showed that he knew how to handle
a horse. Then he tried Teddy" as
Roosevelt is called for short, and was
even more pleased, as the horse is q
single footer. When it came to price
Mr.. Bryan showed some shrewdness
and knocked $500 off Mr.. Rasors first

TAXING ENTERTAINERS.
A Constitutional Bill Has Been Passed
by the Lower Branch.

Minnesota has one of the most
abortive constitutions of any State
in the union, and under it it is al
most impossible to pass tax meas
ure that will be satisfactory to the
law makers, or to the people, but If
the Helliwell bill, which has already
passed the house, passes the senate,
the State will have taken a step as
far forward as possible under the
constitution. to provide for the tax
alton of inheritances, devises. be-
quests, legacies, gifts, etc, and also
to enforce the payment Of those
taxes.
The bill, when it came up as a
special order in the house, was the
means of bringing to the front two
new members OF the house, and one
old member, ia the matter of clever
and clear debaters, for it was ad-
mitted that the speeches made by
Mr.. Helliwell, the father of the bill,
and Mr.. Tighe, one of the support

ROW OVER THE DATES.
Brown County Wants to be the Whole
Cheese on District Court Dates.

The matter of changing the time
for holding the different terms Of
court in the Ninth judicial district
has been the cause for more or less
feeling throughout the district and
among the senators and representa-
tives in the legislature residing in
the district, during the past two CT
three weeks.
The bill was presented to the
house by Representative S. D. Pet
erson of New Ulm, and has since
been in the hands of the judiciary
committee, and the indications are
that it will remain there. When
the bill was first presented the only
opposition that developed was on
the part of Senator Schultz and Rep
resentative Ru]liffson of the Lyon
county district. The bill made the
spring term of Lyon county COM
mence on the third Tuesday in
May and the fall term commence on
the third Tuesday in November of
each year, dates that were decided
ly Objectionable to the entire bar of
Lyon county, as we'll as to many of
the laymen.
When the bill was first presented
Representative Clague could see
nothing Objectionable to the Red
wood county feature, which provid-
ed that the spring term should COM
mence on the third Tuesday in
April and the fall term on the third
Tuesday in October. In fact. Mr..
Clague received letters from nearly
all the attorneys of the county stat
ing that the time was satisfactory
to them. This was apparently done
without the attorneys giving the
matter consideration, and it was
not until Mr. Clague's attention
was called to the fact that the fall
term on election years would CON-
mence court in Redwood Falls only
week or two before election, and
might interfere heavily with the
plans of certain candidates. that
Mr. Clague himself saw the mis-
chief. and came to the conclusion
that he would unite with Lyon coun-
ty people in defeating or amended
the propositions.
Mr.. Clague wrote to Einar Hoi-
dale, county attorney of Brown
county, regarding the matter, and
Mr.. Hoidale wrote back quite a
bitter reply, saying that Brown
county proposed to have its own
way or play in another game of ball.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1903-03-04

Inasmuch as Mr.. Clague is a men,
Der of the hous committee on judici-
airy, AID member Of the judiciary
subcommittee to whom this bill
was referred, it is probable that
Brown county will neither have its
own way nor play in another game
OF ball during the present session.
When it is considered that Red
wood county furnishes more litiga-
ton than any other county in the
district it is apparent that the coun-
ty should have the right-of in
the matter of holding terms of court
The Peterson bill provides that the
terms of the court shall be held in
the different counties of the district
as follows:
wooden the third Tuesday
of April and on the third Tuesday
of October.
Nicollet the third Tuesday in
May and on the first Wednesday
after the first Monday in November.
Lyon-On the third Tuesday in
May and on the third Tuesday in
November.
Brown-On the first Tuesday in
June and on the second Tuesday in
December.
This spring term in Brown coun-
ty would, if this bill becomes a law,
be after the spring farm work is
completed, and the fall term would
be after all fall work on the farm
is completed. S.

proposition there was quite fight,

tories of securities are not to deliv-

er the same until notice is given by
the county treasurer that the tax
has been paid. The duties of pro
bate courts in carrying out the pro
visions Of the bill is clearly defined.
One of the interesting facts in the
debate was the fact that death re-
Gently occurred in Hennepin coun-
tv where the deceased left property
worth $3.50, 600. The nearest rela-
tives were cousins, first and second
cousins. and all of them were resid-
ing in far-off States. Here there
were heirs receiving money to
which they had little more right
than the State, and certain it is
that the State should have a fair
share of it in taxation. In the
minds of the best political econo-
mists, where there are no nearer
relatives than first cousins. the en-
tire property should revert to the
State.
The Helliwell bill has yet to run
the gauntlet of the senate. 1t is
believed more sincerely hoped
that it will pass that body as easily
as it did the house. where there
were only % votes against it.
