the time for distribution compels anti
cipation OF revenues which do not
materialize until March, and this fact
has annually necessitated a short-time
loan from the banks. This year the
stringency in the money market made
a loan of any kind impossible, and
until the regular revenues begin to-
pour in next year nothing can be done
for the districts.
Mr.. Dinehart suggests the passage
by the legislature of law changing
the date of distribution so as to avoid
a recurrence of the present inconveni-
ence in the future.

Pierre to Chicago in thirty hours,
whereas it took them thirty -four hours
with one train and thirty seven with
the other. The damage resulting from
failure to deliver the stock in Chlcag go
within the specified time was placed by
the plaintiff at $1,000, but the jury
evidently thought differently.
The trial of Franz Wilfahrt. charged
with assault in the second and third
degrees, was commenced Monday
afternoon. Hoi6ale & Somsen, attor-
neys for Wilfahrt, objected to the in
d1ctment and at the forenoon session
yesterday Judge Olsen ruled that the
Indictment for assault in the second
degree was detective, while that for
assault in the third degree was good.
Wilfahrt accordingly changed his
plea from mot guilty. to guilty of
assault in the third degree, = and the
trial proceedings came to a sudden
end. In the afternoon Judge Olsen
sentenced the prisoner to a, term Of
ninety days in the county Jail.

COURT VERD|CTS SURPRISE
Jury in the Victoria Nagel Case
Finds Verdict Against the
City.
Damages Allowed the Plaintiff in
the Sum OF SCI. rs.
Cattle Company Case Ends in a
Victory for the Railroad.

Although court has been in session
now for over a week only three cases
have been tried.
The first, the case of Victoria Nagel
against the City of New Ulm, resulted
in verdict in favor of the plaintiff,
the jury assessing her damages at
sS6l.46. The action grew out of the
building of retaining wall on the
plaintiffs property at the time the
city lowered the grade on Centre,
street, and is important in it's outcome
as establishing precedent for numer-
Gus other cases of similar character.
The city, of course, will appeal.
The second case to be tried, and by
far the most hardly fought of the ses-
sion, was that of the Minnesota &
Dakota Cattle Company against the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
Lined up on one side were Brown &
Abbott, the well-known railway attor-
neys of Winona, and on the other side
Harrison L. Schmidt Of Mankato and
Eckstein & Flor of New Ulm. For
four days the legal athletes battled,
and when on Monday the case was
finally submitted to the jury it was
the generally expressed opinion that
the verdict would be in behalf Of the
plaintiff. It was the surprise of the
week, therefore. when the jury filed in
yesterday morning and announced
that they had reached an agreement in
favor of the defendant. AS one lawyer
put it,it was an epoch-making decision
in the history of railroad litigation
| in Brown county.
The main facts of the case are pretty
| well-known to all the readers of the
Review. The plaintiff alleged that
the railroad company had agreed to

STATE TREASURY SHORT OF CASH
Real Reason Why October School
AppOrti0nment Warrants Have
Not Been Issued.

For some weeks the rural school
district treasurers have been wonder
ing why they didn't get their warrants
for the states semi annual school ap-
portiOnment due them over month
ago. Nor were the school district
treasnrers the only ones who were
worrying. Country bankers found it
difficult under existing circumstances
to be advancing money for teachers
salaries, and naturally they sent in a
determined kick, first to the county
auditor and later to the original
source of supply, the treasurer of the
state. Various excuses were offered
in many instances by obliging county
officials, but now comes State Trea-
surer Dinehart with the first real ex-
PLANTATION.

superintendent calls for approximate

SWAN LAKE TRAPPERS' FEUD.
Muskrat Hunters Clash Over Divi-
sion of Territory.
One Of Them Charged With Using
a Dangerous Weapon.
Is Arrested and Placed Under
Bonds to Keep the Peace.

A trappers' feud, arising from trivi-
saities, and nearly resulting in a
tragedy, was aired in Justice Peter
sons court in ST. Peter early in the
week.
Theodore Poehling and John Kopp-
ing we're the complaining witnesses
and on the strength of their sworn
statement, that Otto Poehler had at
tempted to commit All assault on them
with dangerous weapon, the latter
was placed under the alternative of
furnishing a peace bond of 5000 or of
going to jail for term of six months.
He promptly chose the former.
Poehling's father and the defend ant,
Poehler, are prominent farmers of
Courtland township. Their farms adj
join on the shores of Swan Lake, and
when the trapping season opened
young Poehling invited Poehler's
wrath by establishing a trapper's
camp on a small island in the lake not
far from where one had been estab-
lished by Poehler.
Sharp clashes between the neigh
bors ensued and finally, when one day
the Poehling and Hopping boys re-
moved some traps that Poehler had
placed on the Poehling lake front,
Poehler is said to have lost all patti
fence. The boys even go so far as to
SAY that as they were rowing from
their island camp to the mainland he
actually opened fire on them with a
|22-caliber rifle.
f It was this act of open hostility,
| they allege, that led to his arrest.

WILL FIGHT OVER A LEGACY
henry Patsche's Bequest to His
Son to be Contested.
Wife of Heir Seems to Think Mo-
ney Should go to Her.
Grookston and New Ulm Lawyers
Also Interested to Ger
tain Extent

Miller & Foote, Crookston lawyers,
and JOS. A. Eckstein of this city have
brought suit in the Nicollet county
courts against. August Patsche, the
son and heir of Henry Patsche, a for
mer resident of Courtland.
When Henry Patsche died he left
his son an inheritance of 81, 100. This
money is now in the hands of Philip
Dick Of ST. Peter, as administrator,
but before he can turn it over to tie
intended beneficiary he will undoubt-
eddy have to encounter all kinds Of
litigation.
To begin with the attorneys referred
to above want 800 and interest since
1898. In that year August started
proceedings against his wife for di-
yorce. The suit was brought in Mar
shall county, where he lived at the
time. and, Mrs. Patsche not acquies-
ing in the suit and being without funds
to prosecute her defense, the court or
dered Patsche to turn over to her 800
with which to meet her expenses in
preparing for trial. With this order
of the court Patsche has never COM
piled, although the divorce suit is still
pending, and it is for the purpose OF
collecting the 500 from the legacy left
him by his father that the present pro-
ceedings are brought against him and
the administrator by the attorneys OF
his wife.
Moreover, Mrs. Patsche does not feel
that her husband is entitled to single
cent of the money left him by his faith
err. He deserted her, she AYERS, over
sixteen years ago and since then has
never done anything for her support
or for that of his children. In fact at
the present time he is missing and no
one knows where to find him.
Her son, Fred, who lives in New
Ulm, appears to side with his mother
in the affair and only last week went
to ST. Peter to see if some steps could
not be taken to obtain possession OF
the legacy in her behalf.

The attitude of Mr.. Tawney OF the
