The Library ball, Friday night,

and financially. About $50 couple
participated and seldom has more
brilliant assemblage been gathered
in the Armory. About $500 were

The case Of M. w. Savage VS.. D.
III. Syme was argued before Judge
Helms Saturday by Hon. S. J. Brad
ford of Hudson and Robert Chris
tianson of Minneapolis for the plain
tiff and by District Attorney H. H.
Dean of Glenwood for the defense.
The Judge took the matter under
advisement and has not yet handed
down his decision. Mr.. Savage,
who is the owner of Dan Patch and
one of the best known millionaires
of Minneapolis, is sueing D. H..
Syne, the well-known Glenwood
merchant, for $500 on contract
executed in the spring of 1903.

received conveying the intelligence
that Byron J. Price was critically i'll
at his home in Washington, D. c..
The next morning Amos E. Jeffer-

Taylor containing assurance of the
patients recovery. Mr.. Taylor
stated that the doctors had found a
slight trouble with the patients
lungs and had ordered him to the
Adirondack mountains for three
months stay. Mr.. Price left Wash
ington Saturday night. A letter
from F. J. Carr, who was in the
capital at the time, also reached here
Saturday and gave rather gloomy
view of Mr.. Prices condition, say
ing that he is very sick man. The
Hudson friends of the well-known,
highly esteemed editor are feeling
very i'll at ease. Mr.. Price was not
strong prior to his departure from
Hudson and it seems that the climate
of Washington is not conducive to
his health.

remarkably romantic career. He
was brought up among the Indians
on the Santee reservation and when

The marriage proved unhappy by
reason of the fact that the Indians
disliked Hebard for his white skin
and boycotted him and his wife.

ard left her husband and went to live
with another man. Mr.. Hebard left
the reservation and took up his abode
in Redwood county, MINI. His
wife began divorce proceedings and

who was tall manipulating fellow,
won the love of a white girl in Red
wood county, Miss Ada M. Charter,
