SIGNERS OF BOND
SUE CO-SURETIES
Case IN Which Heirs of Late J. |. Case
Figure Argued in Supreme Court


The supreme court yesterday heard
arguments in four cases involving
practically the same points, but which
are said to contain extremely interest
ing questions of law.
Stephen Bull, Henrietta Fuller and
heirs of the late J. l. Case, the former
millionaire, of Racine, Wis, and i'm
plement manufacturer, are suing Hor-
ace S. Rich, of Goodhue county, to re-
cover the alleged share of a deficit
paid by Bull and Case in 1891 on a
bond on which they were all sureties.
In 1881 Rich and three others became
sureties on the bond of Edwin L.
Baker for $4,000, as guardian of the
minor heirs of Robert II. Baker. In
1887 the bond was increased $50, 900,
and ]. /. Case and Stephen Bull, bust
ness associate of Case, went on the new
bond as Sureties. Dec. /, 1891, the
guardian Baker committed suicide and
an investigation of his accounts show
ed him to be an embezzler to the ex-
tent of $4,000.
Under an order of the court. Case
and Bull paid the deficit and are now
suing the other sureties to recover the
portion which they contend should be
borne by them The Goodhue county
courts decision was not satisfactory to
the Racine plaintiffs and they have an
pealed to the state supreme court. The
cases are said to involve very intricate
points of law.

In other words. our dairy products might

Winter Dairying Most Profitable
1t used to be thought that our rigid
winters would be a menace to profta bic,
dalrylng, but experience has demonstrated
tnat modern winter dairying is the most
prontaDle, for the reason that our farmers
have more time to spend then in the care
OF their cows and milk. The products of
our COWS Is worth s25 per cent more in
winter than in summer
IL is notable fact that our cooperative
world OF good to the farmer by way of

denly in a Barber Shop

e. c. Severance, of MantorvilIe

ance, of st. Paul, died suddenly yes
terday of apoplexy in Minneapolis. He
was stricken in barber shop near his
Minneapolis residence and fell dead
before medical aid could be summoned
Though he had been ailing slightly
during the past year, his condition was
not alarming, and the news of his sud-
den death will be surprise to his
friends in the Twin Cities and
throughout the state. Mr.. Severance
travelled in Euroue for his health last
winter and. was apparently well durine
the past few months.

new ULM SHED AT
LABOR DELEGATES
Viewed Them With Suspicion.
but Later Treated Them
With Consideration

st. Paul delegates to the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor returned from New
Ulm last evening after having held the
annual convention. They gave pecu-,
liar description of their reception and
made public their disappointment over
the failure of St. Paul to elect c. E.
James president.
New Ulm is a pretty town. but the
people have very little time for trade
unions" said f. E. Hoffman. cat least
they had a very perverted conception
of the objects of unionism when the
delegates first arrived there. Sunday
and part Of Monday we were viewed
with considerable suspicion, to all APP
pearances, and it is likely that their
attitude would have continued the
same but for the interest taken in us
by some men who had formerly been
members of unions in large cities.
During Monday there was a change
in the attitude of the New Ulm peo-
pie, and from that time until our de-
parture we were treated with the ut
most consideration, an outdoor enter
tainment having been given in honor OF
the delegates. Some of the people with
whom we became acquainted later
frankly admitted that when we first
came they were of the opinion that we
come to New Ulm with no good inten-
tions..
Only Carpenters Form Union.
THE state convention was given to
the town with the view that it might
result in the organization of a number
of unions, but the outcome did not
justify the belief. The carpenters were
induced to organize but the other
trades fought shy of us. An instance
OF this was the cigarmakers, there be-
ing about seventy jOurneymen working
in New Ulm, but when the shops were
visited We found that the men had been
given holiday and practically told
that they could become members of the
union if they chose, but If they did so
they. might also seek new places of
employment @
1T was useless under such conditions
to endeavor to organize the trade, and
the effort was abandoned. The people
appeared to be SO well pleased with
their conditions that our talk seemed to
nave little effect, although the bust
ness men and authorities became very
friendly when convinced that We did
not swoop down upon them with the
intention of taking possession of the
town.
1t is alleged that the defeat of James
for president was due entirely to the
inability of the st. Paul delegates to
agree upon a candidate, this fact caus-
ing many of the local men so far to
lose interest in the contest that they
were not in the hall when the election
occurred. James, it is said, broke into
the Minneapolis strength of Harry Dix.
the president-elect, but the st. Paul
delegates failed to support him. with
the result that Dix was elected on the
first ballot. '93

MANY SELL MILK
WITHOUT A LICENSE
Dairy and Food Commission Will Swear
Out Warrants for Their Arrest

Between 500 and 1,00O owners of
COWS, who are engaged in, selling milk
to the public, have not complied with
the requirements Of the state law and
are selling milk without the necessary
state license. The law requires that
they shall have milk licenses by June
l and the fee for each license is 81.
Secretary WALL of the state dairy
and food commission, said yesterday
that almost "a thousand dealers had
not yet taken out licenses, and he
knew of no recourse for the commits
sion but to swear out warrants for the
arrest of the men who have neglected
to comply with the law. The fine
which the courts may impose for in
fractions of the law is from $25 to 500.

BAND WILL GO ALONG
Democratic Delegates to Travel
to Duluth In Style

At the meeting Of the Ramsey coun-
ty delegates to the Democratic state
convention to choose delegates to the
national Democratic convention, in the
mayors office last evening, it was de-
c1ded to go to Duluth in style, taking
along band of twenty pieces.
Mayor r. A. Smith was chosen
chairman of the delegation by a unani-
nous vote; Thomas D. O'Brien was
Endorsed for delegate at large, r. II.
O'Connor for district delegate, and P.
]. Metzdorf as the alternate of the lat
ter.
There was a full attendance of the
delegates. M. Doran Jr. was chosen
chairman, and f. s. Battley secretary,
the latter being instructed to act in the
same capacity during the trip to Du-
Iuth
1t was decided to make the trip over
the Great Northern, leaving the union
depot at 9eo'elock Wednesday, June p,
and arriving in Duluth in time for the
opening of the convention at $50 p.
m. the same day. The delegates Will
gather at the city hall at o'clock, and
headed by the band will march to the
depot, it being decided that the alter
mates should be invited to attend with
the regular delegates The fare for the
round trip is So.
The decision to secure a band was
not made until after an adjournment
had been taken, when a number of the
delegates got together, and it did not
require many minutes to raise suf1i-.
cient money to pay for the music. The
$500 necessary was subscribed without
hesitation
This arrangement will permit the
Southern Minnesota delegates to the
convention, many of whom will reach
St. Paul on the trains from the south
and west, to>take the Ramsey county
train. A buffet car will be included
in the trains equipment and every
accommodation for the delegates will
be considered by the local committee.
