FOUNDER OF COURTLAND VILLAGE
MOVES TO ST. PETER.

J. 81. Doty, founder of Courtland
village and for q quarter of a century
its foremost citizen, bade goodbye to
his old friends and neighbors on Tues
day of last week and with his family
took up his abode in st. Peter. In
this connection the ST. Peter Herald
says:
Mr.. Doty is to be numbered among
the first of Nicollet county's old set
tiers. He was born in New York in
l846 and came to Nicollet county with
his parents in 1857, settling on farm
in Courtland township During the
Indian outbreak he and his father re-
mained on the farm, while his mother
and sister took refuge in ST. Peter.
In the early 70's, when the Chicago &
North Western road was built through
from st. Peter to New Ulm, he saw an
opportunity to build new town. The
road had no station between Nicollet
and New Ulm, and the young man
asked that the company arrange for
sidetraek facilities and thus allow him
to open an elevator. This was finally

granted, and with the help of Henry
Moll of st. Peter. at present judge OF
probate of Nicollet county, he hauled
stone to the site of the village and
built warehouse for the storage OF
grain. Mr.. Doty was made station
and express agent by the railroad
company, a position he held for many
years, and subsequently became Court
lands most active business man.
From the outset he was the villages
chief grain buyer, and later he owned
the only lumber yard and conducted a,
hardware store. At the same time he;

tions. Within the last year he has
seld his elevator, lumber yard, store
and residence, but still owns several
hundred acres of land on the outskirts
of the town and a quantity of village
property. Throughout his long resi-
dence in the village Mr.. Doty took an
active interest in the welfare of the
town, repeatedly serving as president
of the council and holding various.
other Offices.

TALK OF A TELEPHONE COMBINE
Independents Will Discuss Matter
at Chicago Meeting in June.

Development of plan to cement
1000 telephone companies ofthe United
States and Canada into one gigantic
organization is expected to follow the
gathering in Chicago next month of
1000 managers and presidents of the
interested companies. Independent
telephone associations of thirty states,
with approximately $3.50, 100000 in
vested, are to send delegations to the
convention to urge forward the move
ment.to unite.
Success of the movement inaugurated
means the building OF long distance
| telephone lines throughout the coun-
try, giving unified toll service to more
than 100000 users of independent
telephones. Ohio is leading the agita-
tion for consolidation, with 300, 900
independent telephones in use. Indiana,
with 200, 900, is second. Other states
having complete organizations are:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colo
RADIO, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Maine, Minnesota, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas,
New Hampshire, Virginia, Washing
ton, West Virginia, Tennessee and
| Vermont.
| The call for consolidation has come
at the close of the most prosperous
year in the history of independent tele-
phony. Starting as rural departure
the independent telephone growth first
included only the smaller cities. Now
it is seeking entry to the large CEN
ters of population. Within ihe last
year nearly $1,000, ,O00,Oe0 was ex-
pended in independent plants. Den
yer, Omaha and Milwaukee, in the
west, granted franchises, while Boston
and Providence stand out as the lead
ing eastern cities giving the new sys-
tenn admittance.
| Delegates to the convention will
hear reports that the independent tele-
phone organizations now practically
control the Pacific coast and that all
the principal cities of Oregon and
Washington have adopted the new
system within the last few months.
Southern delegates will report that all
the independent plants in Alabama
| have been enlarged and that half a
score of Tennessee cities, including
Nashville, are having exchanges con-
structed.

delegates to the convention. The high

Did W. G. Hoerr of Mankato hold
up Gen. Gus. Widell for 5000 as a
bonus for letting him have S25, 900 at a
time when he was pinched for money
and really had to have it.
That is the question which occupied
the time and attention of Judge Olsen
for nearly four days at ST. Peter last
week and the trial of which brought
to light some interesting disclosures
relative to fnanceering methods as
practiced by the money lenders of
Blue Earth county.
The question came up in a case
brought by Gen. Widell against w.
c. .Hoerr, Carlos Boynton and the
National Citizens bank. In the COM
plant Mr.. Widell declares that in the
fall of 1905 he negotiated a loan from
Mr.. Hoerr for $4,000, giving him as
security a mortgage on farm in Lake
Prairie worth $4,000 and on real
property in Blue Earth county worth
$4,000. At the time Widell was
urgently in need of money. His pay
rolls were due, and, there being no
time to arrange for loan through
the regular channels, he was COM
PEELED to go to Mr.. Hoerr.
The latter, he says, agreed to and
did advance the money, receiving in
return five promissory notes for SIS, 900
each, bearing interest at the rate of I
per cent and maturing in six months.
He added, however, that the fnancier
took advantage of him in his extremity
by requiring him to give sixth note
for 1000 as bonus.
Widell asserts that no value was re-
ceived for this sixth note and holds
that it constitutes usurious rate of
interest. Were he to redeem all of the
paper at it's face value he would be
compelled to pay interest at the rate
of forty-seven per cent, nearly FIVE
times as great as the rate fixed by law
. Since the mortgage was issued it has
been conveyed to Mr.. Boynton, a
wealthy resident of ST. Paul, and both
he and the National Citizens bank are
named as defendants in the action, the

to the United States. Minnesota was
then thrown under the territorial gov
ernment of Ohio by the ordinance OF
1887. On July 4, 1900, Indian Terri
tory was organized, and it was at
tached to that territory until April 5,
1918, when Illinois became a state. It
was then made part of the Territory
of Michigan until organized as the
territory of Wisconsin July 4, 1886.
Wise onsin was admitted as state in
I848, leaving Minnesota alone. The
latter was organized..as territory in
l849 and as state in 1858.

HIGH FINANCE AS PRACTICED
BY MANKATO MONEY LENDERS.

plaintiff demanding that they bring
the notes into court for cancellation
and surrender the mortgage.
At the time that the deal between
Widell and Hoerr was consumma ated,
Widell was president of the Widell-
Finley company which afterwards went
into Bankruptcy This company was
indebted to the National Citizens
bank to the extent of S51, ,437.1 and
the bank in it's answer to the present
suit sets up the claim that in the fall
of 1905 Widell personally secured
$4,000 of this amount and that the
mortgage referred to in the complaint
was really given to secure the bank,
it being executed to Mr.. Hoerr merely
as trust deed. The bank therefore
asks that the plaintiff and the other
defendants, Hoerr and Boynton, be
barred from any right or title to the
lands in controversy.
Mr.. Heerr, for his part, raises the
fine distinction that he is not guilty
of exacting usurlous rate of interest
because he was not 9 principal in the
transaction, but acted as the agent of
Mr.. Beynton. On the stand he ad-
mitted having advanced his own
money and that the mortgage was
made to him, but he maintains that
the S., 900 bonus was paid as "com-
mission" for securing the loan for
Mr.. Boynton.
TO substantiate this claim checks
for 1926, 1000 drawn by the latter were in
troduced into evidence, but counsel
for the plaintiff point to the fact that,
although the transaction took place
in September, 1905, the checks are not
dated until December of that year,
and we're not cashed until May, June
and August, 1906. This, they say, in
dicates that the negotiations between
Hoerr and Boynton were not bona fde,
and they are basing their case on an
effort to show that the former was the
principal, and that he secured the as
sistance of the st. Paul man to sim
plify foreclosing the mortgage.

Pfngstfest at Turner Hall a Great
Success.
What may be pronounced one of the
most enjoyable affairs rendered the
community for many a day. was the
Bavarian Penticost Festival given at
Turner Hall last Sunday afternoon
and evening. For this purpose the
small hall was literally turned into a
summer garden. A hedge of ever
green, man-high was built across the
middle of the hall with an inviting
portal in the centre. The two COM
partments thus formed were exquisite
ly decorated; evergreen festooning
running from all sides of the rooms in
graceful curves to a point of center in
the ceiling, giving each compartment
the appearance of huge arber or
summer house. In several corners re-
freshment stands were fixed under ever
green canopies and at these the sea-
sonable may-wine was served. The
banks and hedges of evergreen, as also
the canopies over the refreshment
stands, were most uniquely dotted with
miniature colored electricllights, (the
work of electrician Wagner.) The en-
tire place abounded in inviting tables
and seductive cosy corners. The at
tendance being all that could be de-
sired, a score, or more, of pretty girls,
all dressed in Bavarian costumes,
were busy as bees carrying refresh
ments and ministering to the wants OF
a delighted gathering. Seated thus ia
delightful company, one could catch a
glimpse of the large hall where dance
was in progress and where happy cou-
pies were gracefully swaylng with the
rythem and to the tune of the "Blue
Danule.o
Amid such collaborating surround
ings it was but natural that the whole
affair should take on most happy
aspect, and SO it was. Strangers who
were present as casual observers re-
marked that they had never beheld so
happy a lot of people engaged in SO
delightful pastime.
The entire affair was most artistic
conception and reflects great credit
upon Mrs. DR.. Bell and Mrs. Fred
Setter, who were the immediate com.
mittee in charge.

Making Medicine at Topeka.

Saturdays Topeka Capital has the
following interesting political news, con-
corning Barber and Harper county nota-
bles:
Senator Chester |. Long and his lieu
tenants are in Topeka holding a final
conference before the Senator leaves
Kansas for Washington, D. C. ]. M.
Simpson Of Mcpherson, Senator Thos.
Noftzger Of Anthony and William Ges-
ner OF Kiowa were among his visitors
yesterday. Senator Long appears to be
patching up his fences in such a manner
as to preclude trouble while he is absent.
The Senator refuses to discuss the prii-
mary proposition. However, he notified
Congressman D. R. Anthony that he
would be in Topeka for two days and
that he would be glad to meet him and
discuss the proposition Of holding a pri-
mary next year. So far Anthony has
not made his appearance. Senator Long
will go from Topeka to Kansas City for
two days and it is possible that Anthony
will meet him there.
Senator Noftzger is not giving any
attention to Congressman Anthony's agii-
tadon Of the primary subject. This
talk is all in Topeka, within its city limits,
he said. You don't hear 9word about
it in our part Of the state. The farmers
out there are wearing the grin that won
wear off; are watching their corn cribs
hll; the wheat come in; the price soar and
the rain fall on the alfalfa fields. Why
do they want to worry about primary

humor refused to talk on the question.

night, but he positively refused to talk or
