MUST PRODUCE FEE.
Candidates For Nomination Shall
Put Up $40.


Minneapolis, June 36 Candidates for
political nominations must pay their $40
fee to the county auditor before their
atfidavits of candidacy will be accept
ed or their names placed on the primary
tickets.
Judge H. d. Dickinson announced to-
day that he would so decide in the case
of the state ex rel. William C. Thomp-
son against Hugh R. Scott, county au-
ditor. The plaintiff. candidate for the
legislature on the prohibition ticket
made application for writ of manda-
mus compelling the auditor to accept his
affidavit without the 500 fee pre-
seribed by law. He alleged that the law
is unconstitutional. Judge Dickinson af-
tel, hearing, today informed the attor-
neys that he would deny the applica-
ton and hold the law constitutional.
In making this announcement in open
court the judge said that the plaintiffs
contentious, boiled down, amounted to
a complaint as to the amount of the fee.
He asserted there was no question but
that the legislature had the right to fix
some fee within reasonable bound and
that he did mt consider $40 unreason-
able. He said that he did not consid
Ell it within the courts province to bag
gle with the legislature over the amount
at which the fee should be fixed.
He commented upon the necessity of
having more than merely nominal fee
in that if there was not some such check
there would be no end of filings by men
actuated merely by some caprice, by de
sire for advertisement, by desire to de-
feat certain other candidates, and by
other motives
eve do not know Just how the legis-
lature fixed this amount of $l0," said
the judge. ut had to be figured rough
ly, of course, and if the amount fixed
had been insufficient to cover the ex,
penses of election printing there surely
could not have been any complaint by
the candidates. On the other hand, if
the fee is little over that amount there
is certainly no reasonable grounds for
complaint"
In suggesting the suggestion of plain
tiff that the fee was disproportionate to
the emoluments of the office and that in
this way the poor mans constitutional
rights of running for office were VIC
lated, Judge Dickinson said that it seem
ed to him the present basis was the
only one Oh which the fee could be fix
ed, since, if it was fixed on an emolu-
ment basis and certain percentage of
the emolument charged for filing, surely
no poor man could run for $4,000 a
year office.

Will FIGHT IT OUT.
Black Ain. icreai,ol. to Contest WI.
dell Finley Bankruptcy.

Belle Fourche, S. d., June 26. The
Black Hills creditors of the firm of Wi
dell Finley, who had the contract for
the construction of the big ditch on the
irrigation scheme. and who were adjudg
ed bankrupt at Mankato, Mimi. few
months ago, are not satisfied with the
decision of the court 1t is claimed by
the Black Hills creditors. who have re-
tanned T. w. La Fleiche to represent
them, that the federal bankruptcy law
is very specific as to the classes of bust
ness that can be admitted to bankruptcy,
and that firm doing construction work,
such as the Widell Findley, does not
come within the scope of the law. 1t
is their intention to have the decision of
bankruptcy set aside, and the case will
come up in ST. Paul some time before
the end of September.
In the contracts this firm made with
inc CHlcu oIdteS government lHcle was
an agreement by which if the firm
should fail the government would carry
out the work, and could seize and use all
the property, machines and other para
phernalia of the firm. Consequently all
the belongings of that company in this
district were taken over by the govern
ment. If, however, the Black Hills
creditors can secure the. decision of the
court declaring the adjudication made at
Mankato to be null and void, the prop
erty of the Widell-Finley firm, now in
the hands of the government officers,
can be. levied on under the laws of South
Dakota to pay. the claims of the South
Dakota creditors, This property amounts
in value to about $4,000, and the gov
eminent still holds large amount of
money due the firm. Mr.. La Fleiche
will 60 to st. Paul some time next
month to remaia until the hearing of
the case is finished. =.

To the Editor of The Daily Free
Press Your article ON the road drag in
dicates that the people of Mankato are
finding out that they can have better
streets and roads with a comparative
small expense. l built the first drag
used in Belgrade town for Herman Heiser
of Hebron who dragged about mile of
road in Belgrade, the first dragging that
was done. | am the inventor of the hOri-
zontal knife used on these drags and
also the method of building them, and
claim that they are superior to the old
split log | have demonstrated it a
number of times in Iowa and MinnesO-
ia. However, any old drag if used at the
right time will do good work. With my
horizontal knife grayeled or stony
road can be leveled as well as dirt
road. Many of the streets in this city
can be greatly improved with small
cost by dragging just after every show
er of rain. BY all means give every
man who is dragging the roads in Bel
grade credit for his good work, but Her
man Heiser is the first among them all

THROWS SOME LIGHT.
Young Man Who Rode In Stolen Rig
is Found.

FROM IueSQay s Ddlly
Chief Donahue this forenoon went out
into the country and got the young man
who rode with Gilbert Bleedhorn or the
party who stole the horse and buggy
from Lynch's livery at New Richland.
He told the whole story as far as he
knew it. He did not know theNman with
whom he was riding, but suspected that
it was Bleedhorn. When the man drove
into ST. Clair Sunday morning he got in
to the buggy with him. Both had been
drinking. They drove to South Bend,
thence to Mr. Sorrell's house, where
they stayed few minutes, and then to
the railway camp. Then then drove to
Judson and crossed the river to Court
land, where they got some more drink
At the second or third house beyond
CORTLAND they put the horse in the barn
and slept in the hay NOW. The next
morning the young man realized that he
had no business in the rig, and began to
think that it was stolen, for his com
panion had been trying to sell it fol
$50 or 500 He walked home, getting
there Monday evening.
While they were riding, the man who
had the rig asked his companion wheth'
|er he knew Gilbert Bleedhorn, and the
young man replied that he did not
but had read of him, and then said:
"You are Bleedhorn, are you not" The
man denied that he was Bleedhorn.
1t has been learned that the robbel
drove to point across the river from
New Ulm and unhitched the horse ano
tied it to a tree and hid the buggy in
the woods. The horse got away and wa:
found.
Chief Donahue concluded not to hold
the young man.

THOMAS DAILY LEAVES.
Tells How the City Can Win or Lose
Street Railway Line.

From Tuesdays Daily
Thomas Daily left this noon for Phila-
delphia, which city he expects to reach
by Thursday noon. Before going, he
said to the Free Press: eff the PEG
pie of Mankato raise $4,000 or nearly
that amount and telegraph me the fact
so that the telegram reaches me as soon
as | get to Philadelphia the line will
be built, but if get there before the list
is filled out the city will lose the line.
You folks here can get busy, and you
can send me the telegram, 1t is up to
you"
Efforts were made today to get mon
eyed men interested, and members OF
the committee were out. The building
of the line seems to depend upon the
raising of the $25 900. People who sign
ed the lists of the old companies have
not come forward and signed the new
list as was expected.
Mayor Taylor met with the street
car people last evening and tried to en-
courage them, but he was told that peo
| pie on all sides were knocking"

MET ON THE MAT.
Shores and Parr Give an Exhibition
Wrestling Match.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
John j. Rooney, the giant Chicago po-
liceman and Jim Parr, the English
champion, both well known wrestlers,
visited old friends and relatives
in Madelia Thursday and during
the afternoon they wrestled three fifteen
minute exhibition bouts for the benefit
|of the visiting Woodmen. Yesterday
to and in the afternoon several friends
of the two men met and arranged a
match between Bert Shores, the Rapidan
wonder and Jim Parr. The event took
place on the stage of the Mankato Thea
tire late in the afternoon and about one
hundred guests witnessed the contest
Denny Albert was chosen referee and
the participants decided to make the
match two falls out of three. Parr won
the first fall in twelve minutes and
forty five seconds, with a reverse body
hold. Shores won the second bout in
eleven minutes with a grape find on the
arm and a body hold. The third and last
bout was won by Shores in four min
utes with full hammer lock hold
The match was worked up yesterday
for 5000 a side, and came off at five
| o'clock. Owing to the small notice few
knew of it and no admission fee was
charged those who were present. Among
those present was John j. Rooney OF
Chicago, who is said to have dropped
5000 on Parr as a result of the match
He made a proposition to throw boil

simple ways of life.
Miss Fay Cole completes the house
hold roster bright eyed, vivacious
girl, who finished her course at Hamline
| two years ago, and has studied art since
then. A number of exquisite colored
pieces of china that are her work are
among the treasured adornments of their
home.
1t would not do from this descrip-
ton to set down Mrs. Cole as kitchen
wife only. Her quiet dignity would carry
her through any situation. ''When he
is governor" says a friend of theirs,
they will both be Just the same as they
always have been 1t doesn't make par
ticle of difference where you put them.
They are the kind, she especially, who
treat everyone alike"
As business man, Mr. Cole makes
it point to be liberal. 1--WE aim to do
our share and little more" says l..
E. Hunter, his manager at Akeley.
Whatever subscription list comes around
in Akeley, the lumber company is eX-
pected to head it, and A. L. Cole & CO.
to come neXt-and not very far behind.
With equal liberality, he gives for the
support OF the church OF churches. Their
oh, ,at, -
gregational, according as the local means
Iof grace may furnish, but in giving to
the churches he is not a partisan of
any.
Consistent in advocating state devel-
opment, Mr.. Cole has made hobby of
good roads. Akeley has done a lot of
building by subscription with what aid
the county could furnish. The lumber
company in one case proposed to give
one half if the community would make
up the other half. Cole put himself
down at once for half the sum remain
ing, as much as the rest together.
In such matters he gives his time as
well as money. Ii there is any meeting
on public affairs, and he is in town, they
count on him to be there and help.
Apparently he got this habit of hard
work and never learned to quit. I'm
til this summer cottage episode, with
gasoline launch attachment, his notion
of recreation was to. 60 out on one of
his farms and spend a week or two
grubbing stumps and clearing up brush
Only last winter, when they were put
ting up ice at Akeley, nothing would do
but he must go out with the men and
do roustabout's labor, coming in frozen
solid. If there's a man working III the
road for him, and Cole doesn't like his
work, he takes his spade from him and
shows him how. ''He spoils more clothes
that way often than the work amounts
Ito" says Mr.. Hunter, "but it is no use
demonstrating with him. If he is hav
ing anything done, he has got to see it
done right"
BY the same token he detests shift
lessness and slovenly performance. There
was one man owed bill, willing chap,
but indolent. Hunter told Cole he could
get it out of him in work. "All right"
says Cole, "but don't have him here
when Pm around. He makes me crazy"
Men who know him in a business
way speak in highest terms of him. To
the populace he is a prominent business
man, who comes in on No. 6 at night
and goes out in the morning on No. 3.

The police were yesterday afternoon
looking for a representative of the

claimed has embezzled $3.50 from the
company in Minneapolis. Officer Rebb
took man to the city hall on slspic,

go. Soon afterwards a representative of
the company appeared at the city hall
and when told of the man who had been
detained said that he was undoubtedly
the party wanted, and asked that he be
taken into custody. A search was at
once made through the city, but the
man had made good his escape, or at
least he could not be found.
