ATTY WEHE EXPLAINS THE
SCHRAEDER-WA CASE
And Evening Times Publishes Same AS Object Lesson in
IAN Rot" Scoop Which Seems to Rufae Plumage Of
Morning Organ

Attorney L. j. Wehe of Edmore left
the city this morning enroute for home
alter short stay In the city on mat
tiers of legal business. When shown
the account in the Herald which des-
ignated his $4,000 damage case, that
of Schraeder vs. Waldo, which has
been defaulted, as mere rot" he sug-
gested that The Evening Times should
use Illustrations SO that the local man
of the Herald might understand the
news after 1t had been dug up and
published, as he evidently could not
get a story from straight account.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Wehe, at
torney for the plaintiff in the case. The
Evening Times is enabled to give
summary of the record of the case to
date and reprints it for the benefit OF
the Herald, which seems to be at sea
on the case.
The following is the record of the
case to date: On Oct 5, -9O5, v. S.
Waldo, merchant living at Munich,
caused the arrest of R. H. Schroeder,
the second man buying wheat for the
Burgess Elevator company's house at
that place. The complaint alleged
that Schraeder had defrauded Waldo
out Of $40, the balance due on a suit
of clothes which had been bought of
him and on which that amount was
due.
The circumstances accompanying the
arrest were there: Schroeder received
a telegram on the morning of the day
he was arrested calling him to Lakota
to be present at the bedside of his par
ent, who was very i'll. At Edmore he
was taken from the train and in Gus
tody of a deputy sheriff went back to
Munich. He was kept in Jail three
days without trial. At the time of his
arrest he demanded a preliminary
hearing but this could not be given,
as no complaint had been filed. At
torney Wehe took change of venue
from Justice H. H. Dickmans con- t

man ABOUT TOWN

The Man bumped into rather disa-
greeable surprise the other morning
and hasn't fully decided whether or
not he was the subject of a put-up job
or the unfortunate victim of blunder
A steaming stack of darks" duck
wheat cakes) had been placed before
him as he perched on the tall stool
fronting the cafe counter and the
waitress hustled about for syrup dish
and butter to go with the same. The
cakes We're nicely prepared, the syrup
CO turned over them and the Man
prepared to enjoy his early morning
meal. One mouthful was enough.
Bridget, back in Wisconsin, never
made cakes with the "salaratus left
out" as sour as those cakes tasted
and the Man deposited that mouthful
out in the cold, cold world, calling in
an indignant tone of voice for some
wheat cakes, stack of whites" to
use the vernacular of the restaurant
people.
The cook got fine going over from
the pretty waitress, but he wouldn't
stand for it. An investigation devel-
oped that the syrup cup had been fill
ed with vinegar, and the Man took an
fmpromptu sour-mash in consequence.
Moral: All is not syrup that occu-
pies the syrup cup.
A bellboy ran out of the Dacotah
this morning at about 1870 o'clock,
glanced at the thermometer on the
post in front of the building, shrieked
"26 below" and bolted back in like
a flash. The Man was passing and
he took a look, pulled his coat closer
to his manly form" and stepped live

like "a walking carpet factory came
along and the Man said: Pretty

A mufled voice from under the an

to that of Justice r. v. Bice of Mu-
n1ch. The case was dismissed, as the
court ruled there was no reason why
the defendant should be held in Gus
tody for trial as the complaint did
not state sufficient cause of action.
AS a result of the arrest, Schroeder
was dismissed by the company. He
was to have been promoted to the no.
sition of buyer for the company at
Calvin, where new elevator was be-
ing built, but lost the position also.
On Dec. 16 suit for $4,000 damages
was started by Attorney Wehe before
Judge Fisk in the Nelson county dis
trict court at Lakota, then the home Vi
the plaintiff.
This was the status of the case, ex-
cept that the defendant't attorney, w.
l.. Burdick, made motion for a
change of venue to Langdon, the home
district of the defendant. This mo-
ton was argued last Saturday. In the
meantime the defendants attorney
had failed to put in an answer to the
complaint filed by Mr.. Wehe on Dec.
16. Saturday Mr.. Wehe moved for a
default judgment and Judge Fisk
ruled that while he was clearly en-
titled to it, in that the motion for a
change of venue antidated it, he must
settle that first. When he granted il
the default judgment went out of his
Jurisdiction and will be granted by
the court to whom the case now goes,
Judge Kneeshaw. 1t is clear that the
case has defaultee, since the COM
plant filed on Dec. 16 was not an
swered until Saturday, Jan. 20, or five
days over the 80 days limit for an
swering complaints, and then failed
of acceptance. The case cannot be
opened, as The Evening Times stated
yesterday, without the defendant pay
ing the costs and sho wing by evidence
that he has good defense. The case
Will probably come up at Langdon
later in the week.
