FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
St. Paul Attorney Runs Up Against
Judge Webber of New Uim.

Redwood Falls, Mimi, Nov. l3.-Fred
B. Phillips st. Paul attorney, was
fined 5000 for contempt of court by
Judge Weber in the district court here.
An alternative was six months in Jail.
Either is the limit in such case. Phil
lips Immediately took an appeal to the
supreme court.
Phillips, with E. S. Cary, of Minneap-
oils, has been engaged for long time
in attempting to prevent Hans Mo of
Sleepy Eye from obtaining absolute
control and possession of 400 acres of
land in Springdale township, this coun-
ty, valued at $4,000, for about 5000.
The land formerly belonged to Phillips
father Rev. Robert Phillips, superan-
nuated Methodist minister of Ceylon.
During the harvesting of the crop
this year Hans Mo got out an injunc-
ton restraining the Phillips people
from interfering with him in the cut
ting and threshing. When court opened
here on Wednesday Mo submitted an
affidavit to the effect that he had been
>interfered with by Fred B. Phillips, and
asked that the latter be punished for
contempt. Attorney Cary argued that
the court had no jurisdiction, and after
the court insisted that it had and call
ed for testimony on the contempt
charge, Mr.. Cary at once demanded a
jury trial under the constitution of the
United States.
swell, you won't get jury trial in
this court-not in this case," retorted
Judge Webber with emphasis. Mr. Cary
took an exception. The testimony of
Mo was offered and Judge Weber adj
gudged Phillips guilty of contempt and
imposed the fine of $3.50, or six months
in Jail.
Several persons not directly interest
ed in the proceedings offered to pay the
fine, but when the appeal was decided
upon Phillips, who is an entire stranger
here, and Immediately offered sureties.
The court fixed upon a bond in the sum
of $500, and after Phillips had spent
few hours in the custody of the sheriff
for the purpose of getting false i'm
prisonment suit against Mo, the bond
was formally delivered to and accept.

and there was a curious mixture OF
spring hats with sealskin and ermine.
Mrs. Fairbanks in her address OF
welcome paid a glowing tribute to the
Revolutionary heroes, and our splen-

said: 1.-The Daughters have reached
a place they long have sought, earnest

The churches were slimly attended
that night, as nearly everybody III
town went TO the fire. A strong wind
was blowing and at one time all that
section of the town east of Chaney 5
livery stables was threatened with
destruction. The direction of the
wind changed, however, and saved
what might have been an awful con.

heaviest loser by the fire.
The entire section of the burned dis
