SUITS AGAINST CUMMINGS.
Actions Against the Firm BY Winni-
peg Men.

Winnipeg, Man., April Illegal ac-
ton was begun today which seriously
reflects upon the business standing of
the St. Paul grain ana stock commits
sion house of A. ]. Cummings & Co.,
who have offices in this CITY. The pa-
pers were served upon E. o. billing, who
is manager of the Cummings firm here.
The complainant is resident of the do
miniOn and hence action was begun in
this city. The amount sued for is So
IT'S
The complaint sets up That Dec 2,
1908, James V. Collins, of Butte, Mont,
purchased 100 shares of Anaconda cop
per stock from A. J. Cummings & Co.,
through G. A. Ruswick, its local agent
at Butte. The stock never was delivered
as agreed and repeated efforts to re-
cover have been unsuccessful. The suit
is the result. An effort is to be made
to attach funds of the concern in the
local banks.
A similar. suit has also been brought
by w. Z. Semper of Anaconda. Mont,
for balance amounting to $l,037.50.
The suits filed against A. j. Cum
mings & Co. at various points through
out the northwest are attracting atten-
ton on the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce. A special dispatch from
Fargo several days ago told of suit
begun in that city, and more recently
suits have been commenced at Grand
Forks and Grafton, charging substan-
italy the same state of facts. The
Grand Forks case is brought by Henry
Kiefer, the amount involved being 1920.
[ nthe Grafton case the complaint is
made by Henry Gussman for 1888.
In all of these cases it is understood
that Cummings & Co. acted as agents
or brokers in the purchase of stocks or
grain, which they either did not pur-
chase or failed to turn over or settle for
later.
In similar case which was begun in
the United States court in ST. Paul, the
general facts are admitted, but Cum
mings sets up in his answer that the
transactions were all of a gambling ma
ture, That no sale was contemplated by
either party and that hence he should
not be called upon to pay the money
said to be due. He claims in the answer
that he was merely running a bucket
shop and for this reason ne declines to
restore the money to the party with
whom he made the trades.-Minneapo-
lis Times.

never expressed an opinion in the case,
"very mucn." Had talked a little
about the case, but had always said he
had no opinion. He might have some
impressions as to the guilt or innocence
of the accused. He had been away from
! home so much and preoccuped by other
matters that he had not formed an
Eopinion. Mr.. Clark sought to bring out
about Capt. Haigh's impression" Capt.
Haigh said that he had an impression
| that there was such case, and that
was. about ALL 1t might take some evil
dence to remove the impression Re-
plying to questions by Mr.. Wilson,
| Capt. Haieh said that he could try
/ the defendant fairly and impartially.
| The impression in his mind would not
prevent him giving a fair trial to the
f, accused. The triers found the chal-
lenge true.
| Arne Knutson of Medic said that he
had read of the case in the Free Press
and Minneapolis Farmers Tribune.
The defense challenged for actual bias.
Mr.. Knutson said that the articles he
had read had made an impression on
mis- mind as to the guilt or innocence of
the accused and he had formed an opin
ion on this. He still had the opinion,
and it would take some evidence to re-
move it. The state admitted the chal
lenge and Mr.. Knutson was excused.
Mr.. Kendall's name was next called.
Being absent, H. H. Gilman was call
ed. He lives at Vernon Center, and
knew of no reason why he could not
act as Juror in the case. The state
challenged for implied bias. Mr.. Gill
man said that he entertained a con-
scientions opinion as to capital punish
ment in cases where persons are con-
victed of murder. This would not in
fuence him as juror in the case. He
meant that he did not believe in CAPT
tai punishment, but he could wholly lay
this aside Where the evidence is who'll
ly circumstantial he would not act the

THEIR GOLDEN JUBILEE,
German Catholics Are to Hold Fiftieth
Anniversary.

There is now no doubt at all that the
German Catholics of Mankato will hold
the golden jubilee, which they have
been considering. The fiftieth anniver.
sary of the founding of st. Peter and
Paul's CHURCH will be celebrated in a
manner worthy of the greatness of that
institution. The question that is in the
minds of those who are taking the lead
is whether it will be simply an affair
OF the city people, or be made a broader
matter, taking in the congregations of
German Catholics of Madison Lake. st.
Peter, New Ulm and other neignboring
cities and villages, in many of which
places the Catholic churches are off
springs of the mother church at Man.

surrounding cities are invited, the cele-

said that he would dislike to take the
chances of serving on the jury. He was

Citizens of Brown county will assist

will also probably be raised for per-

THRILLING PHASES OF THE BATTLE
BEING WAGED IN THE STRICKEN
DISTRICTS OF LOUISIANA
A CLASH OF ARMED FORCES is THREATENED
Exciting Incidents in Which the Governors of Two
States Figured-Federal Government in Charge
Directing Scientific War the Disease
and the Mosquito.

New Orleans, LATHE shotgun quar-
antine which has prevailed in the
southern states bordering on the fever
stricken districts of Louisiana has
been one OF the exciting and spectacu-
lar features of the outbreak of the
scourge this year. Refugees from New
Orleans and the other Louisiana towns
in which the yellow fever has appeared
have been hemmed in with gatling
guns and muskets in the detention
camps along the coast or near the
state lines of Mississippi, Texas and
Alabama. Great railroad and steam
ship transportation lines, extending
around half continent, have been
shut down" so far as New Orleans
and all Louisiana are concerned. Pas
senger traffic is paralyzed, and even the
freight traffic is affected.
In the railroad stations Just across
the Louisiana line in Mississippi and
Texas-but most rigidly in Mississippi
all travellers through Louisiana are
placed Unfortunately in the 'refu-
gee" class. They are herded for hours
and sometimes for days in these dor
der stations" or in so-called camps"
to which they are removed by force.
Once in detention camp which is
seldom a particularly sanitary place,
there is little or no chance for the de-
tanned traveller to gain his freedom
until the end of the customary term
of five days quarantine Only then is
he allowed to go his way, and all that
he gets for his loss of time and the en-
durance of the horrors of the detention
camp is health certificate of doubtful
value in the next state he enters.
In the enforcement of the quarantine
there have been numerous clashes of
authority, and clashes of arms were
imminent on several occasions. Armed
forces of Mississippi and Louisiana

"You have no right to prohibit boats
from navigating lake, sound and gulf
channels which are navigable waters
Of the United States" Numbered his
excellency of Mississippi, "and the
limit of your powers is to prevent
boats from landing on Mississippi
shores. No such state of affairs can
be tolerated"
After this outburst it was thought
that blood would surely flow. But it
didn't Instead of sending a fleet Of
patrol boats to smash the cruising
craft of Mississippi in a brilliant naval
engagement that would dwarf the ex-
ploits of Dewey or a Togo, his ex-
cellency of Louisiana dictated a ring
ing appeal to the federal government
at Washington to intervene and curb
the fiery Vardaman's naval operations
Imbroglio on Land.
A clash between the land forces of
the two states seems to have been more
probable than between the forces afloat
in gulf and bay. Violation of the
Mississippi soldiers was the cause Of
the imbroglio on land. Dunbar, a
small town on the Louisiana side of
the state line, was the place invaded
by the troops from Mississippi. 1t was
not claimed that the invaders came
with hostile intent and their real mis-
sion was known to be to get their
meals, as Dunbar was the only ac-
cessible place to get food in the coun-
try where the armed men of Mississippi
pi were maintaining one of the quar-
antine camps. But the governor of
Louisiana had hardened his heart
against the governor of Mississippi be-
cause of the latter's sensational pro-
announcement, in which the authori-
ties of New Orleans and all Louisiana
were charged with deception and mis-
