CHECK BELONGED TO FIRM


A check which was cashed in good
faith by a local commission firm has
led to endless complications and is
finally in the courts. Last March one
A. V. Plunkett came to New Ulm to
represent j. r. Beggs & Co., COM
mission dealer of st. Paul, and while
here disposed of carload of potatoes.
A portion of these were purchased by
Crone Bros. and in payment they
issued a check for S20l on the Citizens
Bank, payable to j. r. Beggs 81 Co.,
and handed it to Plunkett.
That party carried the check down
to Stork Bros. and, after indorsing it,
requested payment. AS the local men
had bought potatoes of Plunkett and
paid him in cash they had no suspicious
and readily granted him the favor.
Subsequently they deposited the check
in the State bank and it went from
there to the Citizens, where it was
honored, but a few weeks after the
trans action one of Plunkett' semployers
came to the city to ascertain what the
man had been doing here. He claimed
that his company had received no pay
for their potatoes and intimated that
Plunkett had embezzled the money.
Recently ]. R. Beggs & Co., brought
suit in the district court of Ramsay
county against the Citizens bank to
recover the face of the check. In their
complaint they contend that the bank
had no authority to accept the paper
when it was not Endorsed by the con-
Germ to which it was issued but the
defense will doubtless claim that
Plunkett was clothed with power to
handle the money Of the firm. A
change of venue to this county has
been secured and the case will be
tried at the December term.
Gilbert & Greenman of st. Paul,
are attorneys for the plaintiff, while
Albert Pfaender appears for stork
Bros, and Hoidale & Somsen for the
Citizens bank.

THEY COULD USE THE MONEY
Aldermen Grapple With Money
Question,
They May Add Little to the Tax
Budget.
Electric Light Rates Likely to Be
Raised.

1t was the city S moneyless excheauer
that bothered the aldermen last night
They discussed finance but they dis
cussed it to some purpose. As a re-
suit of their deliberations a few thou
sand dollars will probably be added
to the tax budget and the light rates
are likely to be raised.
Late in the session City Attorney
Somsen delicately mentioned the strin-
gency and suggested that it would be
well to give the tax levy some con-
sideration. Last year the collection
amounted to Sl5, 200 but the aldermen,
after some calculation, figured that
this time they would want 1923, 900, and
then they talked electric light. AID.
Richartz thought that the rate should
be increased from s to 10 cents per
thousand watts and Aid. Nagel re-
marked that charge of 10 cents per
month for meters would help. All but
one of the others concurred in the
opinion and the light committee was
told to investigate.
Rearranging the voting districts
came in for attention. Last spring
the vote was: First ward, $40: second
ward, 30; third ward, 40; and, as the
charter declares against more than
400 votes in any one precinct, some
thing must be done before the pri-
maries. It was suggested that the
boundary between the second and
third wards be moved back from
Broadway to State, a census taken of
the intervening blocks and as many
added to the second as would be neces-
sary to equalize the voting population.
The matter was given to Aldermen
Gieseke, Wicherski and Flor.
South Minnesota street residents do
not relish the idea of being charged
with the entire cost of the recent grad
improvements. Heretofore the city
has paid a third but this time each lot
was assessed -S26.45. Jacob Brust and
John Dobranz appeared to protest and
there was also a remonstrance with "a
signers. The council deducted all the
costs except the actual grading con-
tract and left the assessments at 1923. 81
1t was reported that the repairs on
the main sewer in German park had
already cost more than 5000 and the
council will examine the break this
morning to determine how much more
of an outlay is needed.
Mayor Silverson came in late and
read a communication from Chief
Klause in which the latter asked that
the force be provided with Luger au-
tomato revolvers, to replace their
obsolete guns. The weapons are 30
calibre, have range of 1000 yards
and shoot eight times. The mayor
recommended their purchase and the
council voted in favor of the arms.
The revolvers cost S25 apiece and
Chief Klause was also instructed to
buy three Mauser rifles at S12. 40 each.
Bills amounting to s3,295.77 were al
lowed and before adjourning the
council ordered the Northwestern road
to tear out the gong at Third North
street and station a fagman at the
crossing.

.ECKSTEIN FOR The HOUSE.
Democrats Would Run Popular
Local Druggist.
Regard Him as Promising Legis-
lative Material.
Of Primaries Arouses
Interest in Politics.

Although the primary election is
only six weeks away, the political sit
.uation in Brown county is by no
means acute. OF late, however, some
little ante-campaign talk has been
heard and probably the most import
ant of recent developments is the an
nouncement that the democrats will
urge Andrew J. Eckstein of this city,
to become a candidate for the legis-
lature. Members of his party have
long had this billet in view for their
favorite and they are now said to be
growing insistent in their demands
They want to see his name on the
ticket and rumor says they will listen
to no refusal
What course Mr.. Eckstein will pur-
sue is known only to that gentleman,
and possibly not to him. 1t is not be-
ieved that he has violent craving
for the Office but he is not man to
shirk what he regards as duty and
for that reason might consent to come
out. Should he do so there is no
denying that he would prove very
strong candidate and S. D. Peterson
would be compelled to look we'll to
his laurels. The veteran campaigner
declares that he will be in the race and
will stand squarely on his record.
Wesley G. Miller will again be a
candidate for register of deeds and
opposition in the ranks OF his own
party will hardly appear. His adj
ministration of the affairs of his Of
fee has been beyond criticism and he
may be said to be as nearly immune
from defeat as is possible in politics.
1t is understood that Albert Schramm
of BurnstoWn, will oppose him on the
democratic ticket but the latter will
have difficulty in convincing the voters
of the necessity for change. Another
efficient official who will go before the
people in November is Auditor Louis
G. Vogel. His strength is undimin-
ished and the democrats will have
trouble in overcoming it with E. p.
.Schmitz of Home.
Candidates for the Office of treas
urer, who We're appearing in twos and
threes a short time ago, are beginning
to fade from view. John Schneider,
the present incumbent, will be out
again and his party has only one
other aspirant, Andreas Amann. In
the republican ranks Henry Schwartz
of Springfield, is a declared candidate,
P. J. Miller of Comfrey, has designs
on the place and Capt. Frank Burg
may take hand at the primaries.
The latter is also being mentioned in
connection with judge of probate and
may run against Capt. S. A. George,
who will undoubtedly be the demo-
cratic nominee.
Republican ofice-holders who will
not have opposition at the polls are
Sheriff VIM. J. Julius and Surveyor
George Book; the democrats in the
same category being County Attorney
Einar Hoidale, County Superintendent
of Schools John Cutting and Coroner
L. "A. Fritsche.

THE CONVALESCENTS.

may get up"
Andre Freuil smiled at Sister Jeanne
when she announced this good news.
She was already far away; her white
cap f1uttering like q bird, messenger
of mercy, lowering over this room full
of sick and protecting it. In this hos
pital in small town in Normandy,
Sister Jeanne was in charge of the
wards reserved for the military. She
was no longer young, and certainly she
had never been beautiful. But she was
tender hearted, caring for the fate of
the poor young soldiers, and she cooled
their brows with her gentle motherly
hands. She was happy in supporting
the first steps of the convalescent round
the little garden, where the paths were
carefully raked, and the evergreen box
edges, always neatly clipped, were a
perpetual reminder of crisp Easter Sun
days. Andre Freuil put on the conva-
lescent's loose oyercoat with white
metal buttons. He tottered on his feet
as he dressed, and his head felt empty.
He scarcely heard his neighbor, an old
gendarme who congratulated him OF
his recovery and bewailed his own fate
because he had to spend some weeks in
bed. A corporal hummed an old Breton
tune, as in a dream Sister Jeanne Of
fered Andre the support of her arm and
spoke to him kindly
