Ward 8 Murry VS.
James Mcqueen

One of the early decisions, in
a case heard at the last term Of
the Supreme Court, just render
ed is that in Ward & Murray VS.
James Mcqueen tried at the
June Term of the District Court
in Steele County. Messrs. Ward
& Murray sued for commissions
for a land deal, wherein Mcqueen
listed his land with them for sale.
A purchaser was found ready to
buy upon terms satisfactory to
Mcqueen. When the deal was
about to be closed, Mcqueen
backed out. Judge Pollock di-
rected verdict for Ward &
Murray for the full amount Of
the commissions sued for; the
Supreme Court has affimed the
decision. That court holds that,
whether sale is made or not,
when a buyer is found for the
seller able, willing and ready to
take the land upon terms salts
factory to the seller, the broker
negotiating the sale is entitled to
the commissions agreed upon.

A Hot Fight.

The special election Of new city
officers was held last Monday
and was the most hotly contest
ed election ever held here.
There we're two tickets in the
field and from the first of last
week until the closing of the
polls Monday afternoon there
was a battle royal to see which
would win.
The principal fight seemed to
be between Warner and Ward
for Mayor and Moores and
Brown for Treasurer and in the
spirited strug gle for victory
every available vote in the town
was gotten out. The total vote
cast was 153, and when counted
it was found that Warner had
received 86 and Moores 50 giving
the former a majority of 21 and
the latter a majority of 20 of the
votes cast for the two Offices
respectively.
The total vote on the respective
candidates was as follows:

The Russian Fleet Sunk.

London, Dec. IL The London
Daily Telegraph's correspondent be-
fore Port Arthur telegraphs that all
OF the Russian battle ships and
cruisers, together with the gunboats
Gilisk and Fusadneck we're sunk or
destroyed and that only the torpedo
boat destroyers remain intact.
According to a special dispatch
from Toxic and Shanghai, giving
unofficial reports, the crews Of all
the Russian warships in the harbor
OF Port Arthur were landed and
apprently no effort was made to
move the vessels. The Japanese will
now turn their attention to the
torpedo boat destroyers and when
these have been destroyed the guns
will be directed against steamers
and transports in the harbor.
Mail advices to Japan describing
the capture OF 2O3-Meter hill state
that the Japanese drenched the
timber works OF the trenches with
Kerosene and started furious fire
which was famed by strong gale.
The Japanese advance was very
slow. They were obliged to make
roads with bags OF earth. 1t was q
sudden decision to make q night
attack that brought victory to the
japanese. Nothing is yet officially

Christmas Folly.

The seamy side OF Christmas might

folly. To be extrsvagant is to spend
more tn IN ones income justifles, and
to overlook the claims Of the future

t-avagant at Christmas that we pay
the p.nnity in inconvenience and
emharra- ment during the rest OF the
silter. Ia sound a hote of warning,

The Tact Is that there ought to he q
good deal more independence on this

TO bestOw gift on one we love and
to make children beatifically happy
is a beautiful thing and in conson-
ance with ths real Christmas feeling.
But 10y degrees the custom has grown
