in the municipal court this forenoon in
the case of Edward d. Faley VS.. Bert

and Chas. Thompson, the latter of Am

Reed of Lake Crystal Tor the garnishee.
The court ordered the discharge Of the

his possession.
The circumstances of the case are
somewhat peculiar. 1t was shown that
the garnishee has some land in Wilkin
county, and had given the defendant a
cantract for a deed upon payment of
5000 and interest. Cornish had the land
originally, and sold it to Partridge to Sc
cure the payment of a 5000 debt, taking
the contract back for the purchase of the
land for the amount of the debt. Then
stranger came along and wanted the
land and bought it of Cornish for $2,-
400, through an oral contract that he
was to assume the debt of 5000 which
Cornish owed Partridge and to pay
Cornish the balance of the purchase
price in cash, the money to be paid
through Partridge. Faley, who had a
claim against Cornish, garnisheed the
money which the stranger was to pay
to Partridge and the latter was to hand
to Cornish.
Partridge had sent deed to Barnes
vile to be delivered to the stranger
upon the payment of the purchase price.
The latter has not vet been paid.

FOSTERS WEATHER.
Few Lines About the Weather OF
the Future.
From Mondays Daily.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent Feb. to 6, warm
wave Feb. l to 5, cool wave Feb. to
s. The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about Feb. T.. cross west of
the Rockies by the close of Feb. s.,
great central valleys Feb. 9 to IL, east
ern states Feb. II. A warm wave will
cross west of the Rockies about Feb. Z,
great central valleys Feb. 9, eastern
states Feb. IL. A cool wave will cross
west of the Rockies about Feb. 10, great
central valleys Feb. II, eastern states
Feb. Ia.
The feature of this disturbance that
will be of most interest will be its cold
wave, rains south and snow north. The
storms will develop considerable force
but not such as is expected near Feb. 8
and IT, The cold wave will be general
but not very severe till it gets out on
the Atlantic about Feb. l6 or II.
Indications are for average February
temperatures in the great central valleys
above average IN the northeastern and
southwestern states. Coolest weather
will come with the cold wave to reach
meridian 90 about Feb. 2 and warmest
weather with warm wave to reach meri-
dian 80 about Feb. II. Most precipitation
will come with the rain belts that will
reach meridian go about Feb. l and Is.
Storms will be at their greatest force
near Feb and IT, Rainfall of the month
will be generally about or above normal
except in the southeastern states where
it will be below normal.
I surely made excellent forecasts of
all cold waves for the winter so far as
we know of. Such success deserves seri-
Gus attention by all thinking people
and as we cannot hope for advancement
by the present short range weather
bureau is it not time for congress to
think about establishing a long range
weather bureau? This might stir the
present weather bureau to greater exer-
tions.
Those desiring long range weather
forecasts for any purpose will receive
valuable information by enclosing 2

states that he does not intend to be
a candidate for county superintendent
again He has received good offer of a
partnership in law firm in South Da-
kota and expects to go there next year
and study law and then devote himself
to that profession. His many friends
will regret his determination not to be
candidate for county superintendent
again, as he has made splendid official,
and the educational interests of the coun-
ty were never on SO good footing.
There are some unpleasant things
about the office for man who does his
duty, and Mr.. Freeman has been partly
influenced by these in deciding not to
seek the office again.

WASTE BLAZES UP.

A fire under D. L. Clements & Sons
grocery store Sunday afternoon might
have had serious results had not a
cement floor been put in recently. The
blaze was in the office of The Man
kato Journal, and was caused, it is be-
lieved, by spontaneous combustion, as
it started among some oil soaked waste.
The fire was not suspected until it
was nearly out, and then Chief Beach
was summoned and found it. The smoke
had worked into the store above. The
board floor was removed a short time
ago, or a serious fire might have been
caused.

Ten Indictments Standing Against Him
Will Be Thrown Out.
An Effort to Be Made 10 Get Fred
Out Of "Hock."
Prominent Officials Will Use Their In.
flience to This End.
From Mondays Daily.

"Dr. A. A. Ames cannot be tried upon
any of the indictments now standing
against him. Whether or not new in
dictment will be found it is impossible
to state at present"
This statement made by County At
torney Fred H. Boardmen of Hennepin
county, together with that officials ex-
pressed feeling of discouragement at the
supreme courts undoing of the district
courts work in convicting the former
mayor, is fairly good indication that
the ''genial doctor" will not again be
placed on trial.
There are now ten indictments stand
ing against DR.. Ames, none of which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Boardman, is strong
enough to warrant the state in proceeding
to trial in view of the supreme courts
recent ruling The true bills charge:
Offering a bribe of $500 to E. P.
Sweet for the removal of sheriff Me-
garden.
Receiving a bribe of SIS from Ida

Receiving bribe of SIS from Addie

was tried and convicted.

an auction store proprietor.
Receiving bribe of 500 from Joseph
Reese, an auction store proprietor.
Receiving bribe of 5000 from D. D.

FREEDOM for Fred.
There will soon be a united move
ment afoot among friends of Fred w.
Ames to get him out of prison. DR..
Ames, Fred 'Ames' brother, will be at
the head of this movement. Every pres
sure possible under the law will be
brought to bear on the state pardoning
board. Fraternal organizations to which
Fred W. Ames belonged will be asked to
join in the cause.
Deputy Sheriff George w. 10th will be
asked to go before the board. He says:
"All of the witnesses in the Ames'
cases told me their stories. am posi-
lively certain that Fred Ames got very
little graft What few dollars he did
get, he was forced into taking. In view
of the fact that John Fitchette and
Colonel Tanner, who got most of the
money in sight, are dead, and also be-
cause Mayor Ames is now free man. I
think it common justice to do what can
be done for Fred Ames.
II know that for long time he tried
to keep out of the grating combine.
He was tempted too strongly once, and
after that the big operators put on the
thumb screws. 1 have no personal inter
ests in this case, but frankly speaking,
if anything is done for Fred Ames it will
meet with my entire approval"
Several prominent county officials
speak in the same way, but they refuse
to be quoted.

Passed Away.

+ II is our duty today to chronicle the
death of ID. |. Jones, most esteemed
and respected old resident of Carson
Valley, and although it had been ex-
pected, it has brought grief and sor.
row to the relatives and his numerous
friends. He had suffered intensely for
over two years, and the death sum
mons came and ended his sufferings
last Saturday.
The late d. |. Jones, or Dan, as he
was more Familiarity called, was born
in Missouri fifty-two years ago. Most
of his life was spent in Carson Valley.
During his suffering his patience
was remarkable, and no unkind word
ever passed his lips. Kind and gen
erous to fault, his friends were
numbered by the score.
The funeral took place last Sunday.

that many people are kept away from

will undoubtedly cause many of the
young folks to attend the services.
