A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

The many friends Of Mr.. John
Alderin, the popular county com.
missioner of Mercer county, will be
panied to learn that he passed away
on Thursday morning, September
FIRST, at nine o'clock A. NJ.
From reports coming to our city
it seem that while Mr.. Alderin was
engaged in the early part Of the
week in putting up hay by machin-
cry, a scantling suddenly broke,
one part striking in his abdomen.
The blow was Of such a nature that
it hardly marred the skin, but it
produced a rupture Of the intestine
of the most serious nature, yet not
discernable. DIR. Dillon was has
tily brought from Washburn, and
he, perceiving the extraordinary
hazard, summoned DR.. Quain from
Mandan, and the trained nurse,
Mrs. Bliss. Mr. Alderin was given
all the care that science and trained
skill could devise, but in spite of
his own strong physique, he grad
ua1lv s11ccnnhed tO the overwhelm.
ing odds.
Mr. Alderin was an old settler in
this part of the country, and by
dint of hard labor and untiring en-
ergy, he had acquired a substantial
home, where he was surrounded by
his loving wife and adult children.
His good judgment had placed him
high in the esteem of his fellow
men, and his death is regretted by
all who knew him. Many are the ex.
pressions of heartfelt regret heard
on all sides, that one who had so
long been identified with his coun-
tvs progress could not live to see
it's approaching development.

he had expended $1,OO0.32 of govern
ment money for which no vouchers
were found. The government asks
judgment against LAWYER and Mr..
Auerbach, who, with Joseph Herzberg,
had become surety on a second bond
required by the government upon a
change being made in the regulations
Of the commercial office at Bamberg,
for the amount, $2,686.47. Lienau is
now wealthy farmer in California
and HerZberg is a responsible resident
of Milwaukee. They are outside the
jurisdiction of the Minnesota court,
but if the cases against the ST. Paul
men can be made to stand undoubt-
eddy suits will be brought to enforce
their liability.
Both Mr.. Lawler and Mr.. Auerbach
have answered in the cases against
them, and assert that changes were
made in the regulations OF the COM
mercial agents Office without notice to
them and they deny liability. Mr. Law
Ter also contends that Stern's defalca-
tons. If any, were made later than
July /. 1900, and that he was then ex-
onerated from the conditions of the
bond signed by him in 1898 Mr. Auer-
bach, in addition to a general denial of
the allegations of the complaint, sets
up farther defense that the govern
ment neglected to cause Stern to make
accountings and advanced him money
as contingent expenses without war
rant of law.

DOUBTS ITS VALIDITY
Judge Orr Questions That of
Trading Stamp Ordinance.

Although he cast doubt upon the
validity Of the city ordinance passed
last April fixing "a license for dealing
in trading stamps, Judge Orr. of the
district court; decided, in an order filed
yesterday. that he must discharge the
order already obtained restraining the
city from~enfQFcing or trying to enforce
such ordinance.
The action evolving this order was
brought last April by Andrew Schoch
and the Andrew Schoch Grocery COM
pany against the city and the city Ii
cense inspector, Louis Jessrang, to
nave the trading stamp ordinance de-
clared void, and to enjoin the defend
ants from attempting to enforce the
ordinance. Judge Kelly of the district
court, granted April 16 an order to
snow cause why the defendants should
not be restrained from enforcing the
ordinance during the tendency of the
action. The matter came UP for a
hearing before Judge Orr.
In discharging the order yesterday
the court noted that ''the ordinance re-
ferred to is of questionable validity,
and. for the purpose of the hearing, 1T
may be conceded that the ordinance is
invalid ."
In either event. temporary injunc-
ton should not issue. Defendants deny
mat they have attempted to enforce
the ordinance, and aver that they have
no intention of attempting, in any man
ner, to enforce it's provisions as to the
plaintiffs or either of them.
For this reason there is no neces-
sity for a-5telnporary injunction to pro-
tect the interests of the plaintiffs, as
there is a clearly expressed intention
not to interfere with their business in
any way.
TT is doubtful whether a court of
equity should 'enjoin the enforcement
Of an ordinance even though it may
be invalid, as the plaintiff has a full
and complete remedy at law. One ac-
ton WOuld determine hic RIGHTS"

Edwin Morton Wants Judgment for
1852 Against A. J. Sauer.

A suit to compel one man to pay
another man fer taking care of the

been transferred to Ramsey county.
Edwin Morton, of Owatonna, de-
mands Judgment for 1882 against A. J.

cording to the complaint Mr.. Sauer,
about Dec. 1, 1903, deserted his wife,
Edna Sauer, and their three children,

Then, at the request of Mrs. Sauer, as
Mr.. Morton insists, he furnished board
and lodging for the wife and three chill
dren. from Dec. 1, 1903, to March IL last.
This board and lodging, he believes,
was reasonably worth So a. week. He
also paid out $50 for the care and
treatment of one Of the children, Nor
ton Sauer, while he was i'll.
A change of venue was obtained by
the defendant because he is not res
ident of Steele county.
