USED THE WRONG SEAL.
So j. ". Phares Attacks Validity OF a
Tax Deed.

J. W Phares, the county clerk Of
Trego county, is trying to get posses
sion of a valuable quarter section Of
land in his county on the ground that
a tax deed to the land issued in 1898
was sealed q 1sh the seal of the county
clerk instead of the seal of the county
commissioners. Mr.. Phares discov-
cred the discrepancy through his Ia
miliarity with the county records. A
lawsuit involving the question was
filed today in the supreme court.
The land IS now owned and occu-
claim on q tax deed issued to N. L.
Moore. Cortright had lived on the
land seven years. having bought 1t for
a small price before the boom When
Mr.. Phares discovered what he
thought was a flaw in Cortrights title
he brought suit against him in the
district court. He set forth that the
law required that tax deeds be signed
by the county commissioners and
sealed with the county seal. The deed
issued to n. L. Moore was signed by
the county clerk and sealed with the
county clerks seal Other slight dis
crepancies in the deed were alleged.
Mr.. Phares asked the court not only
to eject Cortright from the land and
give him title, but he also wanted $500
damages and s1,04S for rents and
profits
Judge Reeder decided the case
against Phares. and held that the tax
deed was valid despite the technical
error IN the seal. Phares now ap-
peals the case to the supreme court.

pears to have incensed the local sup

the conviction of one of their number
Of the crime Of malicious destruction

ceeded, it would not only have re-

ant.

1t was a mean trick that the man.
agement of the Duluth Telephone Co.
attempted to play on Carl Everson of
the Electrical Workers union In the
police court this week.
The Duluth Telephone Co.. common-
ly known as the Bell Co... has been
at outs with union labor in this citv
for sometime. 1t has shown no dis
position to be fair, but has ATTEMPTED
IN every way to link the fair name of
organized labor with every misfortune
which has befallen the company since
it's trouble began.
Mr. Everson was arrested on a war;
rant sworn out by Edward Wise. a
member Of the Duluth Telephone Co.,
charging the defendant with malic-
lously destroying cable Of said COM
pany. He was brought before the
court; pleaded not guilty, and his trial
was set for Tuesday afternoon. He
employed Aired Jacques Of the firm of
Hudson & jacques to defend him.
The empanelling Of the jury at the
trial and the questions asked by the
attorneys indicated that it was to he
tr1al against Union Labor. Every
juryman was asked whether or not he
was member Of Union Labor, and
whether or not he had a Zenith Tele-
phone.
Mr.. French, manager for the Duluth
Ielepnone Co., was on hand, and he
lost no opportunity to prompt his wit
nesses and advise with the prosecut-
ing attorney, for the purpose, we i'm
aglne, of bringing about conviction at
any effort.
Edward Wise, the complaining wit
ness testified that he saw Eyerson
climbing CHI the pole and punching the
hole into the cable belonging to the
Duluth Telephone Co. He was the
only witness to the alleged scene, and
the jury evidently paid little atten-
ton to his testimony as they we're out
but six minutes when they brought in
verdict for acquittal.
Who is Edward Wise? He is an
employee of the Duluth Telephone Co.
and was at one time a member of the
Electrical Workers Union. He was
one OF the employees of the Duluth
Telephone Co. who went on strike six

GLOVE OF ENMITY TO ORGANIZED LABOR

years ago for an eight-hour day, and
after having been on strike for short
time he asked the union for financial
aid, claiming that his wife was i'll and
that he needed the money. Upon his
representation he was given the sum
Of $4,000. by the union, and the very
next day returned to work for the Du-
luth Telephone Co. This was a. be-
trayal Of his fellow workmen, and
ever since he has been a faithful and
subservient employee of the Bell Tele-
phone CO.
On the witness stand Wednesday
the attorney for the defendant con-
clusively proved that he was a man
unworthy Of the confidence and res
pect of any body Of men. The Jury
evidently thought so, for they paid no
attention whatever to his testimony.
1t developed in the trial that the Du-
luth Telephone Co. thought little of
the value and character Of the reputa-
tion of the defendant. It's only hope
seemed to be in showing to the public
that it was the victim of the malicious
opposition of the Electrical Workers
Union. It went so far as to charge
that the Zenith City Telephone CO.
was abehind the defendant in a desire
to handicap the Duluth Telephone Co.
The complaining witness, Mr.. Wise,
admitted on the stand that he told one
of the witnesses for the defence, NJ G..
Greenfield, that he did not see Ever
son do the act, but he had a strong
suspicion that it was him. This one
statement resulted in the defeat of the
telephone company.
The activity Of the Duluth Tele-
phone Co. in the prosecution of this
case has been a matter Of comment
throughout the city. A gentleman
who listened to the trial, and who has
long been an observer of the tactics
of the Telephone Trust had this to say
relative to the case:
Some four or five years ago the
Bell Telephone company, calling
themselves here the Duluth Telephone
company, took such a radical stand
against union labor that it appeared
to the organized labor of our city to
place them on the unfair list in order
to stand by their membership and
principle.
Later upon the representation of
Mr.. Weyman, general manager of the
Minneapolis and Duluth District that
the company proposed to deal equ1-
tably with union labor, and that the
company here would, in the then near
future, establish amicable relations
with the local unions, the Bell COM
