Take Your Choice.

The prospects are that there will be
numerous candidates for the republic
an nominations for county offices at
the coming primary election. At the
present time there are at least four
who are mentioned as in the race for
county attorney. They are attorneys
Geo. Il. Bitterness, Mason W. Spicer,
L. E. Covell and the present incum.
bent, Charles Johnson. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that a change in this
office would be a wise move and it is
not surprising to see candidates enter
ing the field at this time For county
treasurer the names of John Boyd,
0. P. Rice and Co. Commissioner A..
M. Hedin are mentioned as in oppo.
sition to the present incumbent, W.
l. Norm, also G. T. Skindelien of the
town OF Arctander, G. E. Fouts OF
Raymond announces himself as in the
race for the county authorship and
Ia the only candidate so far mentioned
that will run against County Auditor
Johnson. A faint rumor has it that
there will be some opposition to Clerk
OF Court Ramsett, but nothing au.
thentic has appeared as yet.
1t has been circulated that N. O.
Nelson would enter the race for treas
urer, but Mr.. Nelson denies that he
has any intention of entering the con.
test.

A Unique Shipment.

It will be of interest to Willmar
people to know that the Great North
ern express Office in this city was the
repository last Thursday of a large
amount of silver bullion and for q
time Agent De La Hunt was the Gus
todisp of more valuable property
than had been placed in his charge
for many years.
1t was consignment consisting OF
eleven bars Of silver bullion valued
at 81 1856, enroute from Everett, Wash ,
to Omaha, Neb. The total weight was
1888 pounds and six ounces and it
proved rather interesting consign-
ment to those who had not seen such
loaf. shaped pieces of bullion before.
The silver "bread-loaves' were safely
stored in the large vault until they
could be shipped to their destination
for smelling. Failure to make the
proper connections for immediate
shipment was responsible for the
detention of the property at this
point.

A Good Idea.

There is good chance for Kandi-
yohi county to become famous in the
growth of alfalfa clover. A small
piece of ground seeded by D. Hagen
stein on his farm east of our village,
was mown twice last summer and
yielded fair crop of hay at each cut
ting. The roofs have survived the
past severe winter and are promising
good growth this season.
J. J. Henderson has a fine sample
of alfalfa which he found growing on
the roadside near Eagle Lake. If this
forage will accidentally spring up by
the roadside it is fair to believe that
by careful seeding on we'll prepared
soil, alfalfa can be made one of the
best paying feed crops for this county
to grow, as it's feeding quality is said
to be far superior to any other hay.
We would like to see more of our
farmers try an experiment with alfalfa.

INJURIES PROVE FATAL
Strange and Sudden Death Of
Peter Lindbers at New
London.

The New London Times of last
Thursday gives the following account
OF the accidental death of Peter Lind
berg, whose sudden death has cast
gloom over that village:
Peter Lindberg, an old and we'll.
known resident of the town of New
London, now lays cold in death as
result of fall while at work on the
dump north of the village. He was at
work for the town hauling brush as
iller on the dump which is being re-
paired by Overseer J. 0. Thompson.
While walking beside the load about
2 O'Clock p. NJ, he stumbled on the
straw and brush previously laid on
| the dump. No one would suppose
that such little fall would prove
serious, but it did. He was taken at
once with severe pains and vomiting.
He was brought home in wagon and
| later in the evening the doctor was
sent for, who found that Lindberg had
received internal injuries, probably
rupture of the spleen or pancreas
He had at that time no fever and it
was hard to realize that the end was
so near. He slept some before mid
night but later was again taken with
his terrible pains and died at about
9 O'Clock this morning.
None of the family were home except
his wife, his Oldest son, Albert, being
at Minneapolis, August and Paul at
Graceville, and Josie at Colfax teach
ing.
1t is indeed a hard blow to the
family, and the heartfelt sympathy Of
all go out to them. May an all-wise
providence give them strength to bear
their attiiction.
| The funeral took place last Satur-
day from the Swedish Lutheran church
at New London.

Jor9enson Acquitted.

The two acquittals found by the jury
before the district court, Of c. j.. Jorg'
enson, = local agent of the Gund
Brewing company, on the charge OF
selling pony kegs of beer within the
city, caused great surprise among all
who heard the evidence in the case.
Not only was the evidence of sale d.
rect, but the defendant had given q
signed receipt to be presented upon
the return of the keg with name OF
party to whom sold and date of sale.
This result We believe was only pos
sible through the special venire OF the
jury. When the regular jury was ex'
hausted and Deputy Sheriff Malmberg
began calling men present in the
court room, and having called Mr..
Crawford, the proceedings were sud.
denly interrupted by q consultation of
the attorneys and Judge Powers,
whereupon an adjournment was taken
and the deputy sheriff was instructed
to summon q special venire OF ten men
to be present upon the following day.
Mr.. Crawford was not required to
serve, but the special venire contains
names OF men who served upon the ia
nous juries in the Bryant trials. The
main trouble encountered by the po-
lice and what has led to the cases OF
drunkenness reported of late, has been
the practice of securing booze from
the cold storage. The failure OF these
trials it is thought would discourage
those OF the officers charged with up
holding the law who have any regard
for the faithful discharge Of duty.
The TRIBUNE hopes, however, that it
will only add an incentive to these
faithful officers to continue their work.
Public sentiment in the city is with
them. The people of the county will
be with them when once they under
sand the situation.

Three DAYS. Trial.

The case Of George S. Grimes W.
sRencer Ericsop, S. r. Child, G. Il.
KRhler and Ida Gahl, No. 9 on the
citil calendar. came on for trial in
district court July 5th, before Jud ge
Powers and jury, and goes on record
a3 being one of the lengthiest pre-
sehted in court, occupying about three
degs. This controversy arose under
aq action involving judgment to q
piSce of land which Spencer Ericsson
hSs purchased in Chippewa county.
Tdclear title to this piece of land S.
R1Child and Spencer Ericsson had
agreed to pay $780,. They had paid
tht amount by giving their checks,
buy after having done so, Mr.. Ericsson
found that there was another judg-
ment that would have to be satisfied
and an attorneys lien which would
have to be paid before he could get a
clear title to the land; 20, when the
check for $3.50 90, which Mr.. Ericsson
had given, was presented for payment,
payment on it was refused. A abort
time afterwards Mr.. Grimes, who had
turned the amount of $500 over to his
CLIENTS, started action against the
abpve-named defendants to recover
thfs amount of $3.50 on check which
Ericsson refused payment. The court
dismissed the action as to all the de-
fe1dants except the defendant, Spencer
Ericsson, and directed the jury to re-
turn verdict for $3.50 against Spencer
Ericsson, claiming that under the an
sw$r which had been put in this case,
the defendants were not entitled to
plead any counter claim. The attor-
neys for the defendant have given
notice Of motion for new trial, and
= stay Of sixty days in the above en-
titled action has been granted.
Spencer Ericsson, the defendant in
the above entitled action, against
whom judgment of $3.50 was entered
has started two actions in justice court
against the plaintiff; one for s95 90 and
the other for $75 90 before the Justice
Of the Peace, I. T. Cramer of this city.
George S. Grimes and O'son Il
spicer appeared for the plaintiff in
the above-entitled action, and Thomas
Fl. Salmon and w. N. Carroll of Min
neapolis, N. L. Ericsson of Raymond
and Samuel Porter of this city ap.
peared for the defendants.
