MRS. REHKOPF CLAIMS
HER DOVER INTEREST
Suit Instituted to Settle Her
Right TO Property
Involved.

Suits for a dover interest in $780,
000 worth of property were filed to-
day in circuit court by Mrs. Anna
Rehkopf, widow of the late Ernest
Rehkopf, against the American-Ger-
man National bank, Paducah Tan
ming company, w. r. Holland, and
III. A. Peter. Three separate suits
are filed. She claims a dover inter-
est because the property belonged to
her husband at bankruptcy, and that
she was not made a defendant, and
is still entitled to her dover interest.
The late Ernest Rehkopf was
forced into bankruptcy and his prop
erty sold w. F. Bradshaw, Jr.,
bought in the tannery for slO,5OO;
lW. r. Holland, the collar shop at
s6.5OO. and one house and lot for
$4,000; n. A. Peter bought three
lots and buildings on South Second
street for s19,500. Mrs. Rehkopfs
estimates of the values are higher
than the sales prices and follows:
Collar shop, $4,000; Fifth and
washington streets residence, S5,-
600; tannery. $4,000, and three
places on South Second street, s2s'-
900. Mr.. Bradshaw turned the tan
merry over to the bank, which he rep
resented, and the bank turned 1t over
to the Paducah Tanning company
This brings both the bank, Bradshaw
and the Tanning company into the
| litigation.

passage of the new rate law by differ.
ent Western states it was virtually an
nounced by the railroads that special
rates such as the homeseekers' would

Heretofore homeseekers' round-trip

points of the Dakotas, and one fare

Nothing of Importance Game Up for Dis

An adjourned meeting of the village
council was held last night with all
members present.
The bid of Louis Wicen for the law
ing of a water main as advertised
was, upon motion, laid over to the
regular meeting in June for consider
alton.
Upon request of j. J. Skahen the
council agreed to furnish sufficient
earth to fill up the depression in the
street alongside of Mr.. Skahen's res
idence.
Messrs. Larson and Wikeen ap-
peared before the council and asked
that F. G. Cater be restrained from
tearing up the sidetrack on piece of
ground extending from the elevator
to the Larson warehouse. Frank T..
White of Elk River appeared in behalf
OF Larson & Wikeen. It appears that
the village of Princeton contends that
the land at issue is regularly laid
out street while Mr.. Cater claims that
the property belongs to him. Upon
motion the village attorney was in
structed to investigate the matter.

THE COUNTY WINS.
Supreme Court Sustains the Lower Court in
ajax Refundment Case.

Supreme Court Sustains the Lower Court in
Tax Retundment Case.
Mr.. E. L. Mcmillan has received a
copy of the decision of the supreme
court in the tax refundment case of
Plondke and Bartosch, appellants, VS..
E. E.Whitney, county auditor of Mile
Laos county, respondent. This case
has been dragging along for years,
and Judges Searle, Baxter and Qvale
all have had whack at it. Had it
not been for the bungling of their
counsel the parties might have re-
covered from the county the amount
involved, about $500. Mr.. Mcmillan
ably represented the interests of the
county and he made no mistakes.
Here is the decision:
"This is a mandamus proceeding to
compel the auditor of Mile Lacs
county to deliver to the petitioner
warrants upon the county treasury
for the payment of the amount of GER
tain tax certificates. The tax judg:
ment had been adjudged void and it
would seem that the petitioner would
have been entitled to refundment had
he proceeded regularly and in accord
ance with the statutes. There are
numerous questions raised upon the
record, but it is not necessary to con-
slider them, as the failure of the petit
tioner to make the county party as
required by revised laws of 1905, sec.
965, was fatal to his right to the writ
of mandamus.
"Order affirmed.''

Last Evening.

Rare Musical Treat at Methodist Church
Last Evening.
A rare musical treat in the form of
a concert by home talent was given at
the Methodist church last evening and
the audience which attended was
large one. Every number on the pro-
gram was admirably rendered and re-
ceived hearty applause.
The first piece was an instrumental
duet by Aimee Woodcock and Lola
Scheen. This was followed by a read
ing, II ain't going to cry any more, :"
by Miss Mildred Rutherford. Other
numbers on the program were: A
chorus by the Ten Little Sunohwers;
vocal solo, Miss Reta Byers; violin
solo, Herbert Anderson; reading,
Rev. J.W. Heard: vocal solo, Charles
Kopp: reading, Miss Peterson; Lul-
laby, Ten Little Pickaninnies; vocal
trio, Amelia Radeke, Maud Brown,
Mrs. E. B. Anderson. The entertain
rnent concluded with an instrumental
solo, "La Somnambula, )" by Mrs. b.
II. Farnham.
Concerts of this description are a
source of much enjoyment and it is a
pity that they are not given more fre-
quently.

School of Princeton.

High School of That Place Defeats High
School of Princeton.
On Saturday at the fair grounds,
Princeton, the high school team of
Elk River crossed bats with the
Princeton high school nine and de-
feated them in game the score of
which was 5 to 2. A goodly number
were in attendance.
The game was loosely played one,
neither team showing any sign of fast
playing until the last two or three
innings. Elk River came to bat and
Martin experienced no difficulty in
landing on one of Burke's twisters for
two bases. L. Anderson secured a
life on Shaw's error and Martin went
to third, while L. Anderson stole Sec
ond and both scored on W. Ander-
sons single. Princeton was unable
to hit safely so did not score in the
first.
In the second Hill and Davis went
out on infeld flies. Martin got first
on balls, stole second and scored on
Jesmer's error. Princeton made it's
first score when Shaw hit safe, stole
second and scored on Davis wild
throw to Hill in trying to cut him off
at third.
Elk River scored in the third on a
bunch of errors and again in the fifth
when Castle hit for two bases and
scored on Hindley's single.
No more scores we're made until the
ninth, when Burke, by a clever stunt,
made first on balls, stole second and
third and scored on sacrifice by
ROos.

ages of chewing gum, jewsharps,
mouth-organs, goose eggs, etc., from

the house. This was perhaps the most
amusing feature of the party. Re-
freshments were served and all passed
very pleasant afternoon. The

NEW POTATO SPRINKLER.
Sherburne County Farmer Devises Novel
Contr1vance for Spreading Paris Green.

Sherburne County Farmer Deyises Novel
Contr1vance for Spreading Paris Green.
An enterprising farmer of Sher-
burne county has invented and man
ufactured novelty in the shape of a
Paris green sprinkler for potatoes.
The device is very simple and can be
made at a small cost. It consists of
a piece of one-inch pipe "a inches
long with a six-inch elbow of the same
material screwed on at each end. To
each elbow is attached peice of hose
50 inches long and to each length Of
hose is screwed a metal rose. A two
inch piece of pipe is attached to the
center of the 34-inch piece and to this
a stopcock is screwed. A six-inch
length of pipe screwed into the other
side of the stopcock completes the
device.
The end of this last pipe connects
with the barrel in which is contained
the Paris green mixture. AS the horse
draws the vehicle upon which is placed
the barrel between the rows of pota-
toes a man on foot-behind the vehicle
of course-manipulates the hose, one
extension in each hand. Thus it
requires but two men, one to drive
and the other to operate the sprink-
Ter.
No patent upon the device is con-.
templated by the inventor, and any
farmer who desires to test the practi-
cability of the machine may take pat
tern IRON one now on exhibition at
the o nj o Office. The device is GER
tainly worth inspection.
