order at 1880 o'clock, and the reg
ular services will be held. The sub
ject of Miss Bigneys lecture will be
the San Francisco earthquake,
through which she and many of her
army companions passed. The sub
ject is one that will always be OF
interest to the people of Tonopah,
and there is no doubt that the lee
ture will be filled with graphic ex-
periences, for there was nobody in
San. Francisco who did not have
some worth recounting.
Adjutant Bigpey has delivered her
lecture throughout the east, and il
was everywhere accorded the success
which it deserves. The public is in
vited to the lecture. where the ad.
mission is free, and there will be
music and singing besides to add to
the interest of the meeting. Captain

BILL HEADED OFE
Not Like Iy to Be Any Changes In Judi
ciaI Districts.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The committee of the bar association
that went to st. Paul to try to head
off the bill to annex Cottonwood county
to the sixth judicial district has return
ed. H. J.. Schmitt remained to meet
with the house committee. 1t is thought
that the bill has been stopped.
The senate has passed al bill to take
Pipestone county from the thirteenth
judicial district and add it to the ninth
and provide for an additional judge
for the ninth. Representative White of
Luverne introduced bill last week in
the house to take Cottonwood and an.
mex it to the sixth district. Several OF
the districts in southwestern Minnesota
are overcrowded with business, and there
is talk of creating new district, but
it is more than likely that matters will
be left as they are until the next ses'
sion of the legislature.
Last year the thirteenth district, with
$4,000 population, had $50 district court
cases, as against over 800 cases in the
sixth district, with $4,000 population. Ii
Cottonwood county was to be added to
the sixth district the latter would have
population of $1,000 and over 4OC
cases a year.

fees ARE At STAKE
Lawyer Eckstein May Lose
the Wellner Farm.
SUIT TO BE BEGUN SOON
Will BE an Action BY Murdered Mans
Children to Recover Property
Owned BY the Father.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily
An echo of the John Wellner muir.
der of several years ago, is heard in the
suit which is to be brought in the dis
trict court in Nicollet county The two
! children of John Wellner intend to
make an effort to recover the farm left
by their murdered father and have en-
gagged lawyers to fight their case. They
will try to have the transfer to Attor-
ney j. A. Eckstein of New Ulm, set
aside, and the case promises to bring up
number of unusual points of law.
John Wellner was murdered Dec. 81,
1898, and his wife and her second hus-
band, Frank Tanke, were arrested in
October, 1901, charged with the crime.
Tanke's first trial began in this city
i'm February of the following year,
but came to end when one of the jur-
ors went insane. A change of venue
to the Sibley county district court was
secured and on June 81, 1902, the jury
first degree against Tanke./ On Friday,
July 18th, he was sentenced to be hang
ed, but on the same day his wife made
confession in which she exonerated
| him. She was given life sentence,
but her confession secured a new trial
for her husband. The third trial took
place at st. James in March, 1908, when
Tanke was convicted of second degree
murder and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life.
On July 5, 1902, shortly after her
husbands first conviction, Mrs. Tanke
transferred her undivided interest in the
farm in Lafayette to her lawyer, Mr..
Eckstein. The plaintiffs in the present
action will try to show that Mrs.
Tanke plotted to Nil her first husband
for his property, Sad viii argue that
her crime should debar her from the
right of succession. They will base
their case on the common law that no
person should be allowed to profit from
the fruits of his own evil, but to sue
coed they must get the courts to ignore
the Minnesota law of descent.
The farm in Lafayette township con.
sists of 245 acres, and is valued at $l2,-
$50 Mrs Tanke has a life equity in
the homestead of 80 acres and has an
undivided one-third interest in the re-
manning l65 acres.
Attorney Einsr Hoidale of Minneapo-
lis, formerly of New Ulm, has been re-
tanned by the plaintiffs and he was in
st. Peter yesterday collecting data for
use in the case. The summons will be
served upon Mr.. Eckstein very. shortly.

RABIES IN THE COUNTRY
Mad Dog Attacks Cattle In the Town
Of Beaufort.

From fridays Daily.
On Tuesday morning a dog thought to
be affected with the rabies was seen in
Beauford township just north of the viii
lage where it attacked several other
dogs, says The Mapleton Enterprise.
The animal was pushed southwark to
the village by men with guns where it
disappeared and has not been seen since.
In view of this and the further fact that
several dogs have been killed in Beau
ford during the past few months said
to have been suffering from the rabies,
the villages council on Tuesday evening
decided that the time was at hand when
some radical step should be taken with
view of Kidding the town of the large
number of stray dogs which are about
the village. With this end to be at
tanned it was voted that all dogs within
the village limits be tied up or muzzled
at once. Such animals running loose
mmuzzled after Monday, April Sth, to
be shot, at the discretion of the village
marshal.
That this action on the part of the
council is right and proper is further
emphasized by the opinion of the state
veterinary, DR.. Beebee, who was called
Monday evening to examine number
of cattle on the farm of C.. S. Wishart
in Mapleton township, which were af-
fected with some strange malady, mys-
tifying to the owner and those he had
called in consultation. DR.. Beebee after
examining the animals stated that in
his opinion they were suffering from
rabies. Mr.. Wishart has already lost
four head of cattle and at least one
more is affected.
An autopsy has been performed on
the cattle which have died at Mr.. Wis
harris and it is very doubtful that
rabies existed. The stomach was found
filled with undigested food and Mr..
Wishart says that at no stage of the
sickness were there any OF the symp-
toms usually spoken of or expected in
hvdrophobia. In order that the matter
may be thoroughly investigated Mr..
Wishart has sent the head of one of the
animals to the state experimental sta
ton and samples of the food to Wash
ington for analysis by the government
stock department officials. In addition
to this cow showing the first symp-
toms of the disease has been shipped TO
Chicago with instructions to have it
condemned and examined by the govern
ment. T. B. Taylor who shipped the
| animal could not detect anything wrong
| with it. -.s--@.ss-r

BLEW UP A MILL
Cold Springs Much Excited Over .
Dynamite OUTRAGE

st. Cloud, April 9.-Another unsuc-
cessful attempt was made last night
to blow up the -four mill at Cold
Spring. Two charges of dynamite
were placed under the fume. The
headgate of the fume was blown to
pieces, some of the foundation to the
mill, the abuttment and a concrete
wall to hold the bank were destroyed.
From all appearance the dynamite was
placed in the flume in a hurry as
there was enough to blow up the
whole mill. The attempt was made
about 1890. The charge was heard
by many of the residents of the viii
lage who at once suspected what had
happened, but when they arrived at
the mill no one was in sight. The vii
lage marshal was within a few blocks
of the mill at the time and states that
he was afraid to go to the place. The
damage will reach $500. This is the
sixth unsuccessful attempt made to
blow up the mill and the dam. In re-
cent years parts of the dam have been
destroyed. On one occasion two men
were arrested and brought before the
district court in this city for trial but,
were released. Phil. Kray, former
president of the company stated today
that the residents of Cold Spring have.
no idea who made the attempt. No
one was seen in the vicinity of the
mill last night. The case is being in
vestigated.

SEEDING MUCH EARLIER
First Crop Report Sent Out BY the
Northwestern Road.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

The first crop report of the season
covering the territory along the lines
of the Chicago & Northwestern road
west of Winona was issued yesterday,
and is an optimistic character, indicat-
ing greater acreage to be sown than
last year and an excellent quality OF
seed. The report says:
Our crop report No. was made last
year April 4 and noted the fact that
seeding had Just commenced. Our re-
port this year shows that seeding pro-
crossed in South Dakota in the Jim
River Valley last week in March, and
has been general since April l, all over
South Dakota and Minnesota, making
the season about ten days in advance
of 1906, with favorable weather condi-
tions. Wheat seeding will be completed
and small grain seeding well advanced
by April Is, as much of the wheat seed
ing is now completed.
On account of a large acreage of new
breaking we think there will be an in
creased acreage of total crops in each
state, about the same acreage of spring
wheat, a slight decrease in maccaroni,
and an increase in corn, barley and
speltz, with marked increase in flax,
which will be seeded on 1907 breaking.
There have been as many emigrant cars
received in South Dakota the past
three months as was received during the
entire year of 1906.
There is a much better quality of
seeds in the country than for the past
few years except corn. Local corn is
classed as poor seed; it is all being
tested and good seed corn will be Sc
cured and planted, and if the present
early season is maintained it will rep
resent largely increased acreage. Soil
conditions are excellent, large re-
serve moisture, more than usual; on the
whole, soil and seeds are excellent.

REPORT WAS FALSE
Dr.. ON Justice Did Not Comm
Suicide in California.
From Tuesdays Daily.

IOul lucSudy . DdlS.
On JAN 3, last, The Free Press pub
lished telegraphic news item under
date of ST. Peter, which in substance
stated that DR.. O. NJ. Justice, formerly
of st. Peter had committed suicide in
California. 1t is learned that the state
ment was false and The Free Press
takes this opportunity to retract any
and all statements which would reflect
OF the doctors social, business and pro-
fessional standing. Dr. O. M. Justice
did not end his life in a cell in Cali
fornia. Word was not received here
of the tragic death of DIR. o. M. Justice;
he was not placed under arrest on a
serious charge and no sensational trial
followed. He was not taken back to his
cell, not having been convicted to serve
sentence of six years. He did not
commit suicide, neither was his dead
body found in the cell by the jailer. His
friends had no knowledge of trouble, as
a matter of fact there being no trouble.
The article as a whole has tended to
cause annoyance for DIR. 0. M. Justice,
all of which is regretted by The Free
Press.
There was dispatch appearing in the
city papers to the above effect but it
appears that the dispatch referred to
another party altogether and hence none
of the statements therein contained are
true as applied to DIR. o. NJ. Justice at

YOUNG MAN IN TROUBLE
IL Is Claimed That He Voted liIssaily
at Lyle.
r,n Iloi


j. E. Bessimer of Lyle is a bright APP
pearing young man, who does not look
like one who would Intentionally break
the law but he is under arrest for having
cast vote illegally at the recent elee-
ton in Lyle, says The Austin Herald.
Lyle is greatly excited over the IL
cense question. When the question
came up at the recent election all the
voters that could be gotten out were
hauled to the polls. Young Bessimer
voted, and voted, it is supposed for
license. License carried but the coun-
Gil refuses to grant license and there
is trouble over that. The board and
the no-license people claim that license
was carried by an illegal vote. There
is large settlement of Norwegians
east of Lyle, who are red hot temper
ance men, and they threaten that if
Lyle opens up a saloon they will boy
cot the village and start a farmers
supply store in the township.
The no-license people have been
making an investigation of the vote
and Village Recorder L. A. Sherman
went to Iowa, to the home town of
young Bessimer and claims that he
found that the young fellow voted
there this winter and also voted in
Lyle at the recent election. Mr.. Sher-
man made the complaint and Sheriff
Nicholson brought Bessimer to this city
and he was arraigned before Justice
Fairbanks. He pleaded not guilty and
will be tried Friday.
