pass suit against Congressman C. B.
Buchanan is the political sensation of
the hour. The facts of the suit
leaked, as the attorney general did
not intend them to be made public until
the papers were filed in court.
The wonder has been that the suit was
not brought before. This is explained
by the conc duct of the congressman, who
talked settlement with the attorney gen
eral for months, apparently ready to
compromise on something; After the
nominated for congress, he became more
cold and distant toward the state au-
! thorities.. Last Tuesday he was in st.
Paul again, and as there seemed no fur
their prospect of a settlement, the
papers in the suit were served on him.
The exact amount sued for is $685.

sue for treble damages, apparently not
being satisfied that he can prove it was
a wilful trespass. Cruiser Dedon and
the other state cruisers who scaled the
timber declared under oath their. be-
