Buy Land for Greenhouses,

George Irving & Co., proprietors
of the Willmar greenhouses, have
made a deal whereby they become the
owners of a large slice of land-18.2o
acres in all-in the west part of the
city, on the old NARROW farm, and will
use it for their greenhouses and nur-
sery. This will give the firm plenty
of room for their rapidly increasing
business. They will have retail
store down town. The residence build
ing is now being moved out to the new
location, but the greenhouses will not
be moved until the first of June, after
the close of the busy season. The
consideration for this slice of land
was $1,820, just 500 per acre.

Desperate Effort to Evade
Order of Court.
THE CASES NOW PENDING
THERE is A QUESTION OF VERAC-
ITY BETWEEN JUDGE WHO
PASSED SENTENCE AND ICE
MEMS ATTORNEYS
Publishers Press1

Toledo, O., July 31.-After a month
of legal clubbing il the common pleas
and circuit court, the cases Of the ice
men are again in common pleas court
before Judge Babcock Of Cleveland.
Through the action of the circuit
court the convicted ice men, after
serving two weeks in jail, were ad-
mitted to bond. The circuit court ov-
erruled a motion of attorneys for the
icemen, who claimed the lower court
no longer had jurisdiction in the mat
ter and the case at once came before
common pleas court.
The point at issue is whether Judge
Kinkade, who gave the ice men the
maximum sentence, promised them
leniencey if they entered pleas of
guilty. l. is a question Of veracity
between the judge and attorneys for
produce evidence to subStantiate their
charges If they fail, the ice men
must go to the workhouse for six
months.
The affidavits of the ice trust at
torneys which We're expected to prove
that Judge Kinkade offered leniency
to the ice men if they would plead
guilty and discontinued the combina-
ton, did not show that any promises
were made by the Judge, but only that
the attorneys believed light sentences
would be given in the event that pleas
Of guilty were entered
