names and threa tened to whip him and throw
him out of the opera house, saying that if the

RED WING, MINN-John O. Davis. one Of
the prominent and wealthy residents Of Good
hue village is the defendant in novel suit now
It is brought by Mrs. Harriet r. Nelson for
damages in the sum Of $4,000. She alleges that
In March, 1904, Davis became frolicsome and
wrote poetry; that he wrote some verses regard.
Ing her, which were published and distributed
among her friends, causing annoyance and yari-
kinds of mental agony
Davis, in his answer, admits that he wrote the
verses and distributed half dozen cards. He
said he never mentioned Mrs Nelson's name,
but that she maintains she was the only Hattie
meant for her. One witness was placed on the
stand who testified that people generally trtugnt
it referred to Mrs. Nelson, and that he had seen
her weep several times on account of the noto-
riety which the verses gave her.
Owing to the prominence of the persons in.
terested, the case Is attracting much interest.
The sentiment thruout the community that
the verdict of murder in the first degree, given
in the trial of Henry Prolow for the murder OF
Charles Zemke is excessive, is finding expres

taken up the matter in the interest of the pris
