DEPUE LOSES SUIT
Famous Case Against the FIatesus
Ends at St. James.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Judge Cray and Court Reporter Davies
returned to St. James last evening, and
the former opened court again this morn
ing after the Sunday recess. The first
business done was to open the sealed
verdict in the 5000 damage suit of Or
lando Depue VS.. John Plateau and son,
an action brought to recover for in
juries said to have been sustained by the
plaintiff in returning to his home from
the Plateau residence while sick. He
claimed that he should have been kept
there and cared for instead of being al
lowed to 90. The jury brought iii a YER
dict for the defendants.
At a previous term of court the case
was tried and Judge Cray directed a
verdict for the defendants, but the plain
tiff appealed and got the case sent back
for trial, the issues to be submitted to
the jury. Pau & Pau were the attor
neys fer the defendants.

gotten the money back. The Western
Union Telegraph company notified him
that the money was not delivered with
in seventy-two hours after it was sent,
in accordance with its rule, and hand
ed him the money 1t looks now as
though DeVlaeminck was the victim of

is supposed that government inspector

Gambling Alleged i'm One
of Local Saloons.
HANKNER IS UNDER ARREST
Chips Said TO BE Passing During the
Still Hours Of the Night; Story
for the Court.
From Thursdays Daily.

from thursdays Daily.
Adam j. Hankner, proprietor of the
INoli saloon, was arrested lust before
noon today Oh a warrant charging him
with Keeping gambling house, contrary
to the city ordinance. He was at once
arraiSned before Judge Comstock and
entered plea of not guilty, and his
trial was set for two O'Clock this after
noon. He was allowed to 90 upon his
| own recognizance in the sum of 500.
This afternoon Mr.. hankner appear-
ed in court with c. l.. Benedict as his
attorney, and City Attorney j. w.
Schmitt represented the city. Mr.. Bene-
diet desired a weeks adjournment, but
the city pressed for trial as soon as
possible, on the ground that one of its
main witnesses is travelling man and
cannot remain in the city.
The court continued the hearing until
nine O'Clock tomorrow morning, but Mr..
Benedict stated that he had to appear
for some clients at special meeting of
the Nicollet county board at st. Peter
tomorrow, called to consider ditch pc
tition. His clients are opposed to the
ditch. He said that Mr.. Hankner would
be represented by another attorney at
the trial.
The arrest is said to have resulted
from an occurrence last night, or rather
early this morning, when poker game
in secret room connected with the
saloon is said to have broken up in a
row, after one man had been struck on
the nose.
The police and city attorney have
heard rumors of the existence of this
gambling place for some time past, but
not until today could they get direct evil
dence. The night police have frequently
seen men coming from the direction of
the rear of the place at all hours in the
morning from two to four or five o'clock.
Officer Simmons saw two men come out
of a rear door of the building at 800
O'Clock this morning.
1t is said that the alleged gambling
room connects with the saloon by means
of a door back of the bar, which is
kept locked ordinarily, and that en-
trance to the gambling place is only
obtained by those who have the con-
fdence of the proprietor.
The penalty for conducting gambling
house, under the ordinance, is a fine of
not to exceed 500, or Imprisonment in
the county Jail.
One of the parties in last nights
game stated today that about two
weeks ago he was in Hankner's place
and lost $40. He again visited the room
last night, arriving there about ten
o'clock. After playing pool, he engaged
in poker. The stakes were high and
the pot on the table was worth having.
He held what he considered was good
hand and bet well. He showed up two
pairs, Jacks to the good. One of the
other players remarked that he held
three queens, and placed the cards in
the discard. The travelling man laid
claims to the pot, $40, and reached for
the money. As he did SO someone hand
ed him blow OH the head. After some
further discussion, the banker gave him
$50 and he was allowed to depart, TAX
ing the rear door. He encountered d
policeman and told him his troubles.

showed her that it would not suit her.
This was yesterday and she ut ouce
returned the bicycle. The dealer told
her that she must either take the
wheel or pay one dollar a day for
the use of it during the three days
she had had it. She sought the po-
lice, and was advised to return the
wheel and not pay anything for the
use of it, inasmuch as the dealer had
told her that she could take it and
try it.

SUIT AGAINST THE OCTOPUS
Formal Complaint Is Filed; Standard
Made Defendant.
Especial to The Free Press.l


st. Paul, May 23.-Formal complaint
was filed today with Secretary of State
Schmahl charging the Standard Oil COM
pany with violating the Hinton law. 1t
is alleged that the company charged w
cents per gallon for oil in st. Paul and
lOh cents i'll Harmony, st. James, Fair
mont and other towns. The law prohibits
this discrimination. The independent
dealers claim that practically the only
place where there is competition in oil
is in the twin cities, that the independ
ent companies cannot sell in the coun-
try towns because of the freight, rates,
etc.
If the Standard company is found
guilty of the allegation, the secretary
of state will be obliged to revoke the
license which permits the company to
do business in Minnesota. The com
plant is signed by several Independent
oil companies.

Much would they have marveled
could they have seen the strange

pueblo of Seama, 50 miles from Al

20 years ago and where her father

years. 1t is doubtful if white man
ever had such wedding before; the
ceremony in the open air, before the

the head men of the Seama standing
in solemn circle with hands uplitted in
blessing and grouped around them all
the men and women and children, clad
in gaudy blankets. the women in their
gayest shawls, and all against the
background of miles of rolling sand
dunes, under the bluest sky man

After they had stood together with

and after the head men of the village
had given Canfeld the right to take
his bride away, the two were married
again by a Presbyterian minister in

ADEE WHEELS AND WORKS.
Government Official Who Bicycles and
Solves Diplomatic Problems.


Washington.-Th recent return
from a bicycle tour of France of Sec
ond Assistant Secretary of State AL,
vey A. Adee has called attention to
the remarkable personality of man
who is scarcely ever mentioned in
connection with the great diplomatic
accomplishments and great state prob
lens of this government, but who for
many years has had an intimate rela,
tionship to these accomplishments
and problems. Mr.. Adee entered the
diplomatic service, a young man in
1872, did some creditable work, was
secretary of legation at Madrid for a
time, and in 1877 entered the state de-
partment. He has been there since
that time, and in a most unassuming
and unobtrusive fashion has taken
part in the solution of many vexing
and momentous question.
Mr. Adee is versatility itself. No one
so far as known, has brought w
subject in his presence of which he
was ignorant. He is the most pro.
found scholar in the state department,
and his scholarship covers a wide
field.
Mr. Adees annual bicycle tours in
France constitute his vacations. In
company with two or three friends. he
likes to ride a wheel over the country
roads of France, avoiding the big cit,
les as far as possible and studying
