DEATH OF MRS. CURLY.
Was Burned at Albert Lea-.-Lived at
Vernon Center.

Vernon Center, Feb. ll.-Word was re-
ceived here late Wednesday afternoon
stating that Mrs. Grace Curly, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Reed had been
burned to death at Albert Lea, but no
particulars accompanied the message.
The remains arrived at 1887 Thursday
noon and the funeral was held the same
day.
This is indeed very sad affliction to
this family, as Mrs. Reed has been at the
point of death for the past three weeks,
and few days ago younger daughter
was stricken with heart disease and is
at present critically i'll. The family have
the sympathy of the community in their
present great sorrow, Mrs. Reed being
too i'll to be informed of her daughters
death.

JURY OUT ALL NIGHT
1t Brings in Verdict This Morning
For Hugo Koke.
His Injuries in the Sunday Saloon Row
Are Placed at $40.
ga. Saiaset Secures Possession of His
Fixtures and Liquors.
Trial of Inc Criminal Cases Taken Up
in District Court.
From Tuesdays DAILY.

The $1,000 damage suit of Hugo Koke
VS.. Albert Lamm and Vented Wag
ner, for injuries received in an assault in
a saloon, was tried yesterday in the dis
trict court, and went to the jury at
ASS p. m. The jury was out all night,
and brought in verdict at 9:35 a. M,
finding in favor of the plaintiff against
both defendants in the sum of $40.
The suit of E. A. Saleset VS.. Bennett
Williams was tired this forenoon, S. B.
Wilson appearing for the plaintiff and W.
n. and Walter A. Plymat for the defend
ant. 1t was an action to gain posses
sion of some saloon fixtures and stock
that Geo. Benz & Sons of st. Paul had
levied for a claim against partner of
Saleset. The jury was out but half an
hour, and brought in verdict just be-
fore noon, finding the plaintiff entitled
to the possession of the property, and
placing the value of the same at ST.
S74.62.
The criminal cases were next taken up,
and Harry Sleeper's trial was begun,
and was expected to be concluded this
afternoon. Walter A. Plymat is de-
Tending him, and County Attorney Will
son represents the state. Sleeper is
charged with grand larceny in the Sec
ond degree, in the stealing of a gold
watch from Henry Hover last July.
Sleeper admitted the theft when arrest
ed.
The trial of Henry Kleimann will pro-
badly be taken up next. He is charged
with assault in the second degree upon
Andrew Anderson, whom he shot in the
arm with rifle one night this winter.
a. L. Schmitt has been retained to as
sist Pau & Pau in the defense.
There is good deal of sympathy ex-
pressed in behalf of Kleimann. He is
known to have always been hardwork-
ing, honest, industrious citizen, and un-
til he got into his present difficulty had
never been in trouble before. He was
not a drinking man and contrary to
reports he had always been good to his
family. His friends say they propose
to stand by him through all this trou-
BILE and they confidently expect an ac-
quittal, declaring that he was goaded to
the act he is alleged to have committed.
Court is making rapid progress with
the trial of jury cases, and the finish is
not far off.

Looks Promising for New Mexico.

'I found during my recent visit to Washington that much more favor able sentiment toward New Mexico prevails, said Governor Otero, on his return to Santa Fe. Senators and representatives who formerly were op- posed to the admission of this terri tory Iare feeling better, and it is my belief that single statehood will be given New Mexico by the Fifty-eighth congress, although possibly not during the present session. There is consid- able sentiment among republicans to the effect that it would be best for the territory put of until after the presi- dertial election.
 '.I am strongly in favor of statehood for the territory, but am just as strongly opposed to any combination with Arizona.

Arizona Sweet Potato Weighing Forty

Yuma county often gives itself airs over some possession or condition that is not to be found in the rest Of the world and, to tell the truth, Yuma is in- deed little unusual. Up to last Friday T. A. Jordan was the champion sweet potato grower Of he lower Colorado valley. Last year he grew a tuber that weighed some where in the thir- ties. On the date mentioned John Crowley brought into town q sweet potato that weighed forty-three and three-quarter pounds. This gigantic specimen is now on exhibition at the Yuma Board of Trade.
