mitted its final report to Judge Stout.
A number of indictments for minor
offenses were filed. Albert Rice,

Circuit Court.

Judge K. l.. Stout reconvened Circuit
Court yesterday morning, and after
reading of the orders by the Clerk and
motion hour, he Immediately called
the case of Sam Jet VS.. James Hargis
Alex. Hargis, etc. This case is a
$4,000 damage suit which was trans
ferred from the Clark Circuit Court to
Bourbon Circuit Court. 1t is alleged
bysJ EFT that an Indictment was found
against him in the Breathitt Circuit
Court for arson. He was cleared of
the charge, and that the Hargises,
with malicious intent, caused the
grand jury to find said Indictment to
injure his character, and ne asks for
$4,000 damages.
- Jouett, bird & Jouett, of Winchester

resent the plaintiff, and Judge J. C.
j. Bach, of Jackson, E. M. Dickson,
Judge Denis Dundon and C.. M.
Thomas, of this city, represent the
defendants.
That it will be a bitterly contested
suit there is little doubt, as at the very
start the attorneys began a wrangle
about an affidavit that had been filed
by the plaintiff. The defense object
ed to the filing, but after the court rul-
ed to suppress the affidavit, the objec-
ton was withdrawn, as it looked as if
the case would be continued and the
HargiSes seem anxious for a trial at
this term of Court.
The next question raised by the plain
tlff's attorneys was the absence of
witness, c. j. Bronston. The defense
theagreed to go 90 Lexington yester-
day afternoon with the attorneys of
the plaintiff and take Col. Bronston's
deposition, and left for that city on the
3 o'clock car. Mr.. Bronston is quite
sick.
The selection of the jury will begin
this morning and the fight will be On
In earnest. There are large number
of witnesses present from a distance.

The statement has been made by
Rev Wishard that the Mormons OPP

the report of the Presbyterian mis-

ham City, their meeting house was
terribly abused" and their missionary
was threatened with death. They also
make this statement about American
Fork, Utah. In this beautiful valley
have been witnessed scenes of horror
and bloodshed, under the direction of
Mormon authorities. Persons sus-

have been put to death to save their
souls from perdition' under the Blood
Atonement theory"
The Rev. Duncan Mcmillan the
PRESBYTERIAN preacher (who says Sen

had to throw out Presbyterian boquets
from the pulpit with a Bible in one
hand and a revolver in the other to
keep the Mormons from killing him.
This happened, he says. at Mt. Pleas

ure would find much favor with the

of the legislature have been furnished
with trip passes by the railroads, but
that should not have any bearing on
their action when they come to consld
er the measure. We do not regard the
measure as anti-railroad legislation
Neither does the Manufacturers and
Merchants association.
Anything in the nature of legisla-
ton which would be unfair to the rail
roads should be avoided. We think
the people in the east are carrying
the anti-railroad feeling too ar. The cry
there at present seems to be damn
the railroads" There is no argument
about it, but just damn the railroads.
We don't want to do anything of that
kind in Utah. This country can't be
developed without the railroads. They

no good unmixed with evil. The jury
system for hundreds of years has been
bulwark of liberty and it is very
questionable whether civilization has
advanced sufficiently to justify
abolishing it. Judge Lewis plan of
having five permanent jurors to decide
cases would probably be very good if
men were all honest and incorruptable,
but unfortunately they are not. On the
contrary some wise man said that
every man was tainted by some spe-
cies of dishonesty We fear that tho

That two persons should be today
lying in jail at st. Peter, the home of
Gov. Johnson, on account of an over
mastering belief in witchcraft, which
belief led them to acts snbversive of
law and good citizenship, is sad
commentary on the alleged superior
ity OF that ancient burg over alIother
Minnesota towns as center of light
and learning. Come to think of it,
however, SO many remarkable trans
formations have occurred at st. Peter,
explainable on any other theory
than that of witchcraft, that one can
hardly blame the two Petersons, now
suffering martyrdom, for their belief.
The ST. Peter habit of Transforming
q,aiet. ordinary citizens into COVER
'noFs, congressman, supreme court
judges and Observation-Disclosures of all
sorts, savors strongly of the occult.
Somebody from St. Peter must GER
tainly have ridden abroad on broom

ltions, especially Pioneer Press.

st. Peter capitalists have received
an offer from the Commercial Artificial
Fuel company of Toledo, Ohio, which
may result in the development of the
peat bogsin Oshawa township. The
eastern men have agreed to erect a
plant, costing $4,000, for the manu-
facture of peat bricks if the ST. Peter
investors will purchase a tract of
land having the same value as the
plant, and the proposition is now
being considered by st. Peter men
who are interesting themselves in the
project.
The house has passed the county
agricultural school bill, the vote being
68 to 43. When the roll was called
several members explained that they
understood that the bill could not
pass the senate in it's present form,
but would be amended to leave only
two or three schools, and with that
understanding they would vote for it.
Several city members explained that
they voted no because they did not
want to force on the country some
thing that apparently the country does
not want. The bill permits any county
to established an agricultural school
and gives some state aid for mainten-
ance, but the special feature is the
appropriation of 500, 900 to the eight
towns, Breckenridge, Austin, Will
mar, Madison, Marshall, Morris,

FIRES BULLET INTO BRAIN
Former Nicollet County Official
Seeks to End His Own Life.
Death is Not Instantaneous but
Must Surely Result. fss
Dread of the Outcome of Approach
ing Trial Regarded as the
Motive.

G. A. BlOmberg Jr., former clerk
of the district court in Nlcollet county,
is dying at his home in st. Peter as
the result of self-inficted wound.
Blomberg is under Indictment for
alleged misuse of public funds and
fearing the outcome of his approaching
trial he took favorable opportunity
Monday afternoon and fired revolver
bullet into his brain. The wound ia
sure to prove fatal.
Until few years ago Mr.. Blomberg
was regarded as one of st. PETERS
leading citizens. In 1904, after he had
held she Office of clerk of the court for
thirteen years, he was defeated in the
primary campaign, and subsequently
a number of alleged Irregularities
were discovered in his accounts. An
accountant from the Office of the public
examiner made an investigation Of his
Office and found a shortageEof upwards
of $500. This was paid in full by the
former clerk, but the Nicollet county
grand jury at the term of court last
June indicted him on four separate
counts. His arrest in Montana fol-
lowed and after short confinement he
was released ON bail.
Monday afternoon he and his wife
sat talking at their home. She was
called away for afew minutes and when
she returned she found her husband
lying across bed in pool of blood.
He had placed revolver against his
right ear and fred the contents into
his head. -
After the tragedy he retained the use
of his faculties long enough to make q
statement to his wife and doctor, but
early in the evening he became uncon-
scious, and his death is only q matter
of hours

SOME ELECTION SURPRISES
Nagel Carries First Ward by Small
Plurality over Beecher.
Wicherski Wins Out by Narrou
Margin of One.
In the Third Pfaender Gets Two
to Meyers One.
St. Peter Takes the Lid Off by
Electing Philip Dick. 1

The vote in all of the wards yester:-
day was fairly large, but little, if any,
excitement marked the events of the
day.
In the First ward, where the hottest
fight of the campaign was waged,
Nagel made good his claims and won
out by majority of eleven over
Beecher. Flor could hardly be said
to have been in the running. The vote
of the ward was as follows: Nagel,
129; Beecher, ll8; Flor, 80.
The Second ward contest proved q
surprise on account of its closeness,
Wicherski defeating his opponent
Buenger by only one vote. Wicher-
ski received 1872 and Buenger l61.
The Thirdward result may have been
a surprise tosome, but not to the close
observer. There were those who
thought Pfaender could be beaten, but
they were poor guessers. He beat his
opponent, Meyer, by vote of 241 to
12O.
The results leave the council. the
same as at present with one exception
Flor giving way to the old veteran
of the ward, Hermann Nagel.
st. Peter decided to take off the lid
and elected Philip Dick over Rounse-
vile by majority Of nearly 200.
Tracy went dry. The majority in
favor of the lid was only 13, however.
Chicago went Republican. :. Bussa
