COMFORT MUST PAY
Loses His Suit Against Gas
Light Company

Judge Lewis yesterday returned a
decision in the case of the state of
Minnesota eX rel. H. NJ Comfort VS..
the st. Paul Gas Light company and
the Edison Electric. Light company,
and the officers of the two companies,
finding for the respondents in every
point of contention, and assessing the
costs of the action upon the relator,
Comfort.
The action was one tried during the
February term of court, and it attract
ed good deal of attention at that
time. Mr.. Comfort began proceedings
to force the gas company to furnish
him with electric current to be resold
by him to parties living in the imme-
date neighborhood of his home. He
had formerly entered into a contract
with the company, and had set up a
motor and other generating machinery
In his home to enlarge and transmit
the current so that it might be used
for lighting purposes in the homes of
neighbors.
The company became suspicious OF
the amount Of electricity really used
and the amount which the meter in
Comforts home showed him to be us
Ing. A check meter was accordingly
placed on the line and results Tailed
by the two meters. although both were
correct in their measurements, were so
widely different that the company at
once refused to longer supply Comfort
with electric current.
In his decision Judge Lewis finds
that the relator is not entitled to a
contract with the respondent compa-
ally violated the terms of the contract
first entered into. He further finds
that the costs Of the proceedings must
be born by the relator.

CASE HARD FOUGHT
Blind Pig Trial VIII Be Lona
Drawn Out

The trial of John Guarnera. charged
by the Merriam park citizens league
with conducting a blind pig at 1857
University avenue, occupied the entire
day of a jury before Judge Finehout
in municipal court yesterday, and when
the case was adjourned at o'clock
until Monday morning. the introduction
of evidence by the city prosecutor had
not been completed.
The balance of the jury needed to
try the case was secured at an early
hour in the morning and the introduc-
ton of evidence was Immediately be-
gun, but 1t was slow process, for OBJ
1ecuons to questions and answers were
so numerous that most of the time was
spent In arguing and deciding them
The prosecution is being conducted by
Emil w. Helmes. city prosecutor, as
sisted by ID. w. Doty. attorney for the
citizens league. while Stan DonneIly
has charge Of the defense.
Before the introduction of testimony
was begun at the morning session At
torney Donnelly made a motion that
the action against Guarnera be dismiss
ed on the grounds that the case. having
been begun In the court of a Justice of
the peace, should be tried there. Judge
II hCHOul Iuitu lndl MS court was the
equivalent OF a justice court in the
matter on trial.
While this was a victory, in a way
for the prosecution, the defense won a
couple scarcely less substantial points
when the court sustained their objec-
lions to the Introduction as evidence
of the beer and whisky alleged to
have been found i'm Guarnera's place
when it was raided Oct. Is, 1904 and
entirely ruled out the testimony of
Rev. John Fryckberg, pastor of the st.
Anthony Park NJ. E. church. relative to
a visit paid by him to Guarnera's place
of business during the month of April
preceding the raid. The ruling was
made upon the grounds that too much
time had elapsed between the visit and
the raid.
Chris Chrisman OF Minneapolis. a
private detective hired by the league,
testified to having visited Guarnera's
place of business, a restaurant and
small store. five days before the raid
and to having bought two glasses of
beer and a drink of whisky Constable

NEW RULE NECESSARY
IN PROVERB CONTEST
Great Interest Shown COmpelS
Manager to Limit Territory
to Northwest

Owing to the widespread interest
which is being taken in T h G. l o b e ,
proverb contest, it is necessary to an
nounce new rule, which, it had been
hoped would not be necessary. The
rule is announced with this issue, and
is designed only to protect the people
in the territory where the paper is
read every day.
This is the plan decided on: Only
those contestants who reside in Min
nesota. North and South Dakota. Wis
consin. Iowa and Montana, will be al
lowed to enter into the contest by
which TIL e Globe will give away
$500 in cash In this educational con-
test.
This has been made necessary by
reason of the fact that the contest has
proved much more popular and con-
testants have come from a wider scope
of country than the editors anticipated
when the contest began. 1t was
thought that the contest would natu-
rally limit itself to the territory which
the new rule covers.
T h e G l o b e is conducting this con-
test for home people, for readers of
I G b e. and wants them to reap
all the benefits. 1t is only the desire
or L e q b to give the benefit of
this contest to its friends that makes
this new rule necessary
One word is necessary regarding the
manner in which the answers are to
be sent in. With at least fifty an
swers from. each contestant the task of
counting the answers assumes alarm
ing proportions. 1t will be an immense
task to count and tabulate this inn
mense list of answers, and certify the
correct returns. Owing to this fact It
has become necessary to insist on rea-
Sonable neatneSS in sending in answers.
The wording of the proverbs must be
strictly correct. and any misSpelled
words or a wrong construction of the
proverb. may be sufficient to defeat the
contestant.
Write plainly when you send in an
swers. This is also Il precaution that
must be observed. as in tabulating the
hundreds of thousands of answers no
time can be lost on a single one. II
would be better if the answers could
be typewriter on the blank, but this
will not be insisted on.
In sending in answers do not roll
them up or fold them. Send them in
laid out smooth. and all in proper
order that no time may be lost when
the count is being made. By q strict
observance of this rule the contestants
VIII enable the judges to count and
lapulate the answers much more
quickly and to announce the results.
