Action That Will Be Tried
,44a in NicOllet. ett<,5
AMOUNT IS UP TO $4,000.
Hearing Continued, After a Motion to
Dismiss Is Denied BY Judge
Quinn at St. Peter.

FROM Thursday Dally.
An action in the NicoIiet county dis
trict court involves the sum of $4,000,
and the parties interested are Gustaf
Widell as plaintiff and w. G. Hoerr as
'efendant.
In his complaint Mr.. Widell asserts
that prior to Sept. Ia, 1905, he was the
| owner of a farm in Lake Prairie town.
| ship, NicOllet county, valued at $4,000,
and of real property in Blue Earth
county worth $4,000 When the credi-
tors of the Widell-Finley company be-
gan crowding the firm for their accounts
Mr.. Widell made an effort to prevent the
assignment which afterwards followed,
and went to Mr.. Hoerr to negotiate a
loan.
According to the allegations of the
plaintiff, Mr. Hoerr agreed to advance
$4,000, and was given five promissory
notes for $1,000 each, bearing interest at
the rate of per cent and all of them
to mature in six months. A mortgage
on the real property held at $4,000
was given as security, but, in addition
to this, the plaintiff says that Mr.. Hoerr
received another note of $4,000 issued by
the Widell-Fmley company.
Mr.. Widell says that no value was
| received for the last named note issued,
it being regarded as commission" and
he declares that it constitutes the usur-
ious rate of interest. Were he to re-
deem it at the face he would be COM
PEELED to pay interest at the rate OF AZ
per cent, nearly five times as great as
the rate fixed by the laws of Mime
sofa.
A motion to dismiss the action was
denied by Judge Quinn at st. Peter yes
terday and the case was continued for
trial.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
Pau & Pau and A. o. Eberhart of Man.
kato, and A. A. Stone and Henry n.
Benson of st. Peter.
The defense will be that when General
Widell applied to Mr.. Hoerr for a loan
of $4,000, the latter had already en-
dorsed paper to the amount of 100000,
which he subsequently had to pay. He
had never loaned any money to General
Widell's people. Genreal Widell said
that he needed $4,000 in order to com
plete some work that would yield
$l50,000. and it was finally agreed be-
tween General Widell, the Widell- Finley
company and MIR. Hoerr that if Mr..
HOerr would guarantee the notes to the
amount of $4,000 given by General Wi
dell, and secure a purchaser for them,
he, (Hoerr) was to be paid $1,000 by the
Widell Finley company as a commission.
The notes were disposed of to Mr.. Boyn-
ton, and the WidellFinley company
gave Mr. Hoerr note for $1,000. The
defense deny that there was usury.

from TUESDAY s Daily. ...-- . -
The Citizens Telephone company
last Friday connected up with the ST.
Peter exchange through the Tri-state
company. Through the st. Peter ex-
change it also connects with the large
Nicollet county system. The move puts
LOO more subscribers in communica

HAD CLOSE CALL.
Christian Schwebe,s Family Barely
Escape From Burning Home.


Christian Schwabe's cottage home on
Belgrade avenue, North Mankato, was
damaged by fire at 1880 o'clock this
morning, and was saved from total de-
struction only by the prompt action of
the firemen and citizens. The fire start
ed from gasoline stove, and a sheet
OF flame at once spread all through the
interior of the house, and the members
of the family barely had time to get
out. The fire company was called out
and fought the fire successfully with
the large chemical, although the flames
were working under the roof in the at
tic.
The interior woodwork was scorched
in all of the rooms, and the furniture
was more or less burned, and even the
pictures on the walls were scorched.
Mr.. Schwabe carried $500 of insurance
with the Milwaukee Fire Insurance
company, which is represented locally
by w. III. Gary, and the latter will
restore the house to its former condi-
ton. Mr.. Schwabe's loss is estimated
at $50 on the house and considerably
more than this on furniture and house
hold goods.

make an examination of the journals
of the senate for the session of 1899.
That was the session, it will be remem-
bered, when the bill was passed to pre-
vent the dissertation of Decoration day.
1t was H. F. No. $40, and the final
vote on it was taken in the senate on
the 18th day of April, 1899, the vote
being recorded on page 1859 of the SEN
ate journals. Every senator except
one voted for this patriotic measure;
but that one seems ITO me more signi-

from the senate journal referring to it
