TOWN OF BADGER
WINS A BIG POINT
GRINDELAND's, DECISION IN
ROSEAU COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
Injunction Secured by the Village of

Dates Back to 1902.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Warren, Mimi. Jan. 21.-The Roseau
county seat fight was decided by Judge
Grindeland this morning in favor of the
village of Badger.
The injunction secured by the citizens
Of Roseau village to restrain the county
commissioners from calling special coun-
ty seat election is nolled. st@
The case dates back to 1902, when citi-
zens of Badger circulated a petition ask
ing the commissioners to call special
election, the object being to move the
county seat from Roseau to Badger. The
petition received the requisite number of
names and was duly filed with the county
auditor, when citizens of Roseau secured
an injunction restraining the board from
calling the election. The grounds for the
injunction were that the petition was not
in accordance with law. 1t was contended
that the notice should have been published
in three papers instead of one; that it
should have been shown by affidavit that
sixty days elapsed from the time of sign
ing the petition before filing it with the
county auditor. ..-ei
The point upon which the case hinged
was the claim that it should be shown by
certain affidavits that the signers of the
affidavits were also the signers of the
petition The court held that it was
enough that the petition itself showed that
the names We're there. .... s..'..,,

LOSING GROUND?
BAENsCH'S CANDIDACY is MUIR
ING THE GOVERNOR.
Disaffection in La Crosse, Trem-
pealeau and Monroe Counties
Gains Made by "Stalwarts" Likely
to Be Felt in the Republican State
Convention.
Convention.

Special to The Journal,
La Crosse, Wis, Jan. 21.-Altho it is
early in the political campaign, many ex-
pressions are heard regarding the guber-
natorlals situation. It is evident that La
Toilette is steadily losing ground in this
city and county, and it is thought by
some republicans that western Wisconsin
will show great gains for the "stalwarts''
and that this will have some influence III
the state convention.
Not only is this the case in La Crosse
county, but in Trempealeau and Monroe
counties La Toilette is said to be also
losing ground. In the village of Trem-
pealeau there has been noticeable fall
ing off. Two years ago there was hardly
a "stalwart'' to be found in that village,
and now, it is said, the La Toilette fol-
lowers are equally scarce. The same con-
dition of affairs exists in other towns
turnout the counties named and even in
the rural communities, where La Toilette
had a strong following, he is said to be
losing. e<tt
The announcement Of Judge Baensch is,
to a great extent, responsible for this
change. Republicans in the western. part
of the state are inclined to favor his
nomination, and it is thought here that
a strong delegation for Baensch will go
to the state convention.
Fears He Will Kill His Wife.
peculiar case came before Judge
Brindley to-day when an application, was
made to have August Rettesch, formerly
of Milwaukee, examined as to his sanity.
Rettesch requested the court: to send him
to a private hospital instead of to a
state institution. He said he knew he
was insane and desired to be taken away
as soon as possible, because he feared he
would kill his wife. Several years ago
he nearly killed her.
Damage Case Non Suited.
Judge Fruit has granted a motion for
a non-suit IN the case Of Paul T.. Horne
VS.. the La Crosse Box company and w.
L. Joosten, in which the plaintiff brought
suit for $4,000 for the loss of his right
hand in machine which he was operat-
ing. The motion was granted on the
ground that the plaintiff was aware of
the dangers connected with the machine
and the defendants were not responsible.
An appeal to the supreme court will be
taken. ~
