A MILE Laos TIMBER CASE.

Jury Awards Plaintiff $2,53s as DAMAGES
Tor Trespass Committed.
Quite number of Princeton people
have been in attendance before Judge
Morris in the United States circuit
court at st. Paul for week past as
witnesses in two timber trespass cases.
Frank and Harry Mcclellan cut and
banked over 1000, 900 feet of logs two
or three years ago on land west oil
Page. Mr.. G.. A. Eaton backed the
McClellans and the log-mark was re.
corded in his name. The logs were
sold to the Foley Bean Lumber Co;
of Milaca. Lowell Chadbourne, as
agent, alleged that the McClellans
had trespassed on land owned by his
principals. Suit was brought agains,
the Foley Bean Co. A. Y. Merrill oil
Minneapolis appeared for plaintiff
and Harris Richardson of St.. Paul
for defendants. The St. Paul Dis
patch of the 10th inst. has this to saw
of the cases:
1.-The last case on the civil calendar
for this term, and which was opened
today, is a similar one to the one
which has just been concluded against
the Foley Bean Lumber company.
"Ella Perkins Pillsbury is suing the
lumber company to recover SIS per
Thousand for 10000 feet of lumber
which it is claimed the defendants cut
off her lands in Mile Laos county.
"Because it is parallel with the case
which was terminated in favor of the
plaintiffs last Saturday it was
thought that the case might be settled,
but the defendants elected to stand
trial.
"The jury trying the case of John
S. M. Neill against the Foley Bean
Lumber company returned verdict
or So, 53S in favor of the plaintiff late
Saturday..
1.-The case came to an abrupt ter
mination when one of the witnesses for
the defense testified that he had cut
the timber off the plaintiffs land, for
which the trespass action was
brought.
"The case had been on trial for two
days, when Frank J. F. Mcclellan,
foreman for the defendant company.
was put on the stand. He was asked
to point out to the jury just what por-
tion of the lands he had cut the timber
off, and to indicate the same by means
of a chart which had been prepared
for the occasion.
4" Well, now, I'm going to do the
right thing remarked Mr.. Mcclellan,
as he stepped to the chart with a
pointer in his hand. Il cut the timber
off of all of the lands represented by
these yellow marks
''Harris Richardson, attorney for
the defense, threw up his hands, and
the case went to the jury, which
returned verdict for the sum men
toned"

A Tribute to Mrs. Jennie Elder.

God, in His infinite mercy, has
taken from our midst most esti-
mable woman, kind, good friend and
neighbor who will be greatly missed.
Her life was given to her home cares
she always kept open house. Her
friends we're ever welcome. She was
an active member of the Maccabee
order and ready and willing to do her
share in all pertaining to lodge
work. The past three years of her
life has been given to caring for the
motherless children of a niece, and
most nobly she filed the mission, CIV
ing them the tender, loving care of a
mother. My heart goes out filled with
sincere sympathy and sorrow for the
bereaved husband and sisters, and
especially to those dear little ones
who have lost second mother.
Mrs. J. N. Rogers.
