Breach of Promise - Suit For $780,.
600 Damages to be Tried in October.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, July 27--The case Of Miss
Sara Ham of Dubuque against George
Potter. the millionaire lumberman of
Duluth, Mimi, for 100000 for breach
of promise will be called for trial in
the latter city at the October term of
court. The impression prevails that
Potter will endeavor to effect a COM
promise but his Dubuque lawyers say
the case will be fought to the end. Pot
ter has secured number of contin-
uances because of illness, but he will
be ready to stand trial when the case
is called in October.
Potter's Dubuque lawyers assert that
he has observed the agreement he
made about year ago, to pay Miss
Ham an annuity of s43S on condition
that she abandon legal proceedings
against him, and that they will be able
10 prove this assertion when the case
comes to trial. There is also an action
pending in the Dubuque district court
in which Miss Ham seeks to have set
tside "a deed to her residence, which
it is alleged she gave to Potter for pay
ing off mortgage on the mansion.
Potter. 1t is understood will also fight
this action The residence was sold
some time ago, and will be used for a
sanitarium 1t is one of the largest
dwellings, in the city, there being about
thirty-fiye rooms.
Potter is in the north at the present
time and will remain there until the
action against him is called for trial.
He has instructed his Dubuque lawyers
10 be in readiness to appear in Duluth
at the October term. Miss Ham is de-
termined to push the case and 1t VIII
no doubt be heard at the opening of
the October term.

| Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines July 2i.-Joseph Coop
hammer. a Pocahontas county farmer,
visited the executive Office al the state
house today and asked Governor Cum
Minis for a loan of $4,000 When the
governor stated that he could not COM
ply with the strangers request, no
matter how much he might desire to
accommodate him. the visitor turned
away with tears in his eyes. This Is
but one of many similar cases which
come before the governor. although it
differs in that the present applicant
came long distance to make his re-
quest of the chief executive and asked
for larger sum than Is usually re-

$4,000 to $4,000. He states that the
farm is mortgaged for $4,000. and. be-
cause of difficulties which he has had
with his neighbors. he has number
of small judgments outstanding against
him. and is unable to meet his indebt-
edness. He says the banks have been
accommodating him. but that during
the past few months he has been un-
able to secure any financial aid from
that source. His last resort, therefore
was to appeal to the governor of the
state.
Mr.. Coophammer admitted that the
governors position was reasonable. but
manifested great disappointment as he
turned and left the state house He
appeared perfectly sane and did not
appear to regard his trip to Des Moine.
