OWaCOnna ChrOnlcle: Attorney T..
w. Richter states to the Chronicle that
in the mandamus proceedings brought
by the Tri-State Company against the
City of Owatonna in the formers effort
to 60 through the city the telephone
company would take an appeal from
the decision of the lower court overrul-
ing the plaintiffs demurrer to the
answer interposed by the defendant
city, and that no time would be lost, as
the Tri-State Company is anxious to
connect it's lines which it has already
built up. to the city limits on the
Medford and Austin roads leading into
the city.
Albert Lea Times. Several Of Dunns,
papers have much to say in criticism of.
The crudeness of Governor Van SAINT
who slapped Prince Henry of Germany
on the back, but they have nothing to
say of the profanity of Bob Dunn, who,
as every one knows cannot carry on al
ordinary conversation without indulg-
ing in profane and obscene language.
If he should chance to be chosen COVER
nor the people must accustom them
selves to hearing the vilest profanity,
not from loafers on the street or in the
barrooms but from their representative
in the executive chair.
Albert Lea Tribune: The Tribune
congratulates Attorney H. H. Dunn as
we'll as the people of Emmons over the
verdict just handed down by the United
States supreme court affirming tn e
decision that the M. & st. L. R'y Co.
must establish and maintain a station
at the thrifty village just this side the
state line. Mr.. Dunn has worked faith
fully upon the case where Judge Lovely
left off and the victory is a great one.
Senator Knatvold has also done much
to assist in securing the coveted result
and Hon. Lafayette French of Austin
has had some share in the work The
decision is an endorsement Ut judg. 8

to the supreme court, which holds thai
when the policy prohibited the use Of
gasoline upon the premises insured
but the agent had knowledge of the
fact that it had been used for cooking
but issued the policy without specia
permit being attached thereto, it mus
pay the loss.
st. Cloud Journal Press: One of th,
reasons urged at NOrthfeld why Ric,
