IS
DISMISSED
Judge Brown Decides That He
Has No Jurisdiction in
The Matter.
Sudden and Unexpected Termin-
alton Of Action Brought to
Upset Vote on License.

Judge P. E. Brown came over from
Luverne Tuesday afternoon to take
up the election contest and a number
of other matters.
Three cases had been brought to
test the validity of the last election
on the license. question, one by Peter
Thompson, and two by John Ram
age and G. W. Patterson. The
Thompson case was the first taken
up and was presented by Attorneys
G. M. Crandall, of this city, and Roy
al Stone, of Morris, Minp. Col. J
A. Town and Judge Geo. W. Wilson
we're the attorneys for the defense.
After the case had been presented
Col. Town moved that the action be
dismissed on the grounds that the
statute or village charter contained
no provision for such a contest, and
that therefore the court had no juris-
diction. Judge Brown took the mat
ter under advisement until s o'clock
in the evening, when hs rendered a
very exhaustive decision in which he
upheld the contentious of Col. Town
and dismissed the action. The court
followed the history of election laws
from the code of 1878 down TO the
present time, and cited numerous de-
cisions of the supreme court. The
point raised by Col. Town is a new
one under the laws at present on the
statute books, and as there is no su-
preme court decision in point the
case will probably be appealed to
that tribunal. However, the attor-
neys for the contestants has at pres
ent no information to give out on
that matter.
AS the point raised in the Thomp-
son case applies equally to the other
two cases, it was stipulated that one
Of them be dropped and the other
continued until Sept. 1st, and the su
preme court had passed on the
Thompson case.
A number of attorneys from out of
town had matters to bring up, and the
attention of the court was taken up
with these Wednesday forenoon.
The divorce case of Carrie A. W.
Lee, vs. Clayton Lee, was heard, and
a decree granted.
The applications of Geo. Davis and
Paul Hendricks, known as the chick
en- thieves, to plead guilty was taken
up Wednesday afternoon. Hendricks
was given an indeterminate sentence
to the industrial school at Red Wing,
and Davis was sent to the reformatory
at St. Cloud. Davis had also confess
ed to arson, having twice set fire to
small dwelling near the Rock Island
track, belonging to John Roman. He
is regarded as hard pill, and it is to
be hoped that his term in the reform
atory will make him realize that the
way Of the transgressor is hard. With
Hendricks it was case of bad com
pany,and he now finds the conse-
quences serious. 81

To the Teachers and Pupils of
Mobiles County,:
The foregoing is a schedule of the
premiums to he given by the Worth
ington District Fair to be held dur
ing the last week Of August, 1908.
The interest manifested by the
Fair Association in the school boys
and girls of the county is clearly
shown in this perhaps, the most lib
eral premium offer ever made by
any fair association along similar
lines in the state. It deals with
those things that have to do with
farming and home making, and is
addressed especially to those to
whomis committed the future moral
intellectual and material welfare
Of the county, the school children.
Ibis generous offer along lines
so useful and SO important should
enlist the interest and cooperation
of every teacher and pupil.
