Sues for $4,000 Damages.

The Great Northern r ,llway Com
pany will be made the defendant In q
SIS, 600 damage suit to be instituted by
Samuel Patton of this city. The suit
is brought to recover damages to that
amount for the loss of the life of his
son Charles, who was killed In q
peculiar railway accident near Waver-
ly the u h of last February. AS the
accident took place in Wright county
the case will be tried at the June term
OF court to be held in Buffalo. Mr..
Patton has retained F. E. Latham OF
Howard Lake as his attorney and the
cas- is now in his hands. Efforts had
been ma6e to effect settlement
without bringing an action. The com.
pany was willing to pay $500, but the
offer was naturally rejected and Mr..
Patton will now seek justice in a
Wright county court as the admins
TRAITOR of the estate of the deceased.
It will be remembered that the acci-
dent which cost the life OF Charles
Patton was due to q detective engine
on which he was employed as fireman
While running at full speed the tender
and cab became disconnected and
Patton's position at the time was such
that he dropped through aud was al
most instantly killed beneath the cars.

A MARIE R|CkS"
Hans Olson Initiates the Famous
Window Smasher and Gets
into Trouble

BANS Obs On, @ageda144,, son ofszAn-
dreas Olson, . resident of the town.
ship of New London, has established
a record for himself as successful
window smasher. In fact he is now
known as a second "Marie Ricks."
His mania for breaking window lights
has led him into trouble and last week
he was arrested and obliged to ap-
pear before the stern face of the law.
Young Olson was charged with
breaking IS window panes at the Gil
bert Baklund farm home north OF
Willmar, which had at one time been
the home of the Olson's. For dis
playing his familiarity with old scenes
of his childhood in such manner
and willfully damaging property,
Judge Bitterness thought that fine OF
$40 and costs would be about the right
penalty. The trial was held Tuesday.
The boys pranks cost the father the
price of good suit of clothes which
the wayward son might have had, and
as result there will probably be no
more depredations committed at the
Baklund home at least.

BOUNDARIES SETTLED
New Trial in District Court BRINGS
End to Litigation in Lake
Andrew Case.

The famous boundary line case in.
volving the ownership of certain
meandered land in the town of Lake
Andrew was given its final airing in
district court here last week. The
title OF the ase is John Hanson, ct al.
vs.. A. E Rice, ct al. The action was
brought to determine the bound ary
line between parties and at the trial
held here on Tuesday Judge Flaherty,
OF Morris, presided.
The controversy arose over the
proper division Of certain lands lying
between the meander line as establish
ed by the government and the lake.
The rule for the division of the dis.
puted tract was determined by the
supreme court and the boundaries of
the tracts OF the respective owners as
to the land lying beyond the meander
line we're fixed by extending the side
lines on detected course from their
intersection with the meander line to
point in the center of the Jake, and
the only question that was tried now
was as to the center of the lake-Swan
Lake, q part of Lake Andrew. After
hearing some evidence the parties
agreed that the center Of the lake was
as located by Surveyor Dahl, of Min.
neapolls, who Is the ex-County Sur
veyor of Hennepin county. There ap-
peared to be no discrepancy between
Surveyors Jenness and Dahl.
The attorneys in the case were c. A..
Fosnes of Montevidco and Bitterness
& Downs, of this city, for the plain
tiffs, and Lyndon A. Smith of Monte
video and J. W. Arctander of Mionea-
polls for Messrs. Rice and Railson
Quite number OF witnesses and others
interested we're in attendance at Tues
days trial.
The case was started in the district
court in 1902. The dispute had been
brewing for years. An appeal was
taken by the defendants to the supreme
court and the decision of the lower
court was reversed. A new trial was
ordered here and the district court
has now determined on lines cOnter ded
for by the defendants.
Judge Flaherty handed down his
decision and the same was placed on
fle at the office of the clerk of court,
on Tuesday Of this week.
