verdict for the plaintiff for $25, in the
municipal court last evening.
The plaintiff alleged that he rented
his farm in Shelby to the defendant
on shares, and that the defendant was
to husk and deliver in the crib a
certain share of corn in due and proper
season, but that he refused to husk
ard crib the plaintiffs share, although
taking care of his own part. The de-
PENDANT then left the farm without
attending to plaintiffs corn, and the
plaintiff had to hire men to do the
work, the total expense including his
own labor being $3.50. The defendant
also byoke down and destroyed five
apple trees worth SIS, and failed to
haul manure onto the land, which it
cost the plaintiff S. to do. Where

the attorneys for the plaintiff.

sold his interest in the corn crop to

DAMAGE DONE BY HAIL
DISTRICT VISITED WAS NOT SER
IOUSLY AFFECTED.
Latest Crop Report as Issued BY A. C..
Johnson, General Agent Of the
Northwestern Road.
rrom Fridays Daily.

Crop report No. Is, issued from the
office of General Agent A. C. Johnson,
covering conditions along the North
western line west of Winona, was given
out. The report shows that the past
week has been generally favorable to
growing crops although there has been
considerable rain-more in Minnesota
than in South Dakota. The damage
done by hail during the recent storms
has been traced and shows the district
visited was not so seriously affected.
The report issued yesterday read
Weather conditions during the past
week on the whole have been favor
able. One rain in South Dakota, no
damage, reasonably warm with bright
sunshine: in Minnesota little too
much rain, part sunshine and cool.
not quite so favorable as in South
Dakota, but no particular damage ex-
cept it keeps the ground wet. 1t is
now clear and favorable over entire
line.
"The district where hail damage
occurred has been carefully traced
and the following stations found af-
fected and we have as near as we can
compare prospects at present at such
stations with last seasons crop. In
South Dakota only two stations af-
fected; Castlewood and Beresford;
Castlewood has slight damage and pros
poets for much better production
than last season. South Dakota to
date has escaped damage and has a
remarkably fine promise at this time,
IL, g - ~,
nesota hail has reduced prospects a.
compared with 1907 at the following
stations, which show: Ivanhoe about
the same as 1907 Porter about 20
per cent less; Candy about the same;
Taunton, same; Minneota, more; Mar
shall, Vesta, Evan and Nicollet same !;
Wabasso, Springfield, Morgan, slightly
more; Sleepy Eye and CORTLAND less.
On the whole the territory covered by
above stations now promise more prof.
duction than last year and on the
whole Minnesota prospects today are
much better than the season of 1907.
'On account of weather conditions
harvest will be later than early con-
ditions promised. Rye and winter
wheat harvest will begin in about one
week UT ten udys, DaIiey HdiNeSC WIN
begin about July Goth and 25th and
wheat harvest about the first week
in August. Favorable weather will
hasten maturity, but with average
weather, such as we have been hav-
ing, will produce maturity at about such
times. The uniformity in maturity
all along the line is maintained and
the harvest will be in progress at the
same time.

Praises Hammond's Speech.
The Denver edition of the Chicago
Tribune this morning contains the fol-
lowing regarding Hammond's speech
cit was a thing worth noticing that
by far the best nominating speech of
the convention was made by Winfield
Scott Hammond of Minnesota in pre-
senting the name of Governor johnson.
He had a hard task before him, be.
cause he followed not long after the
Characteristic Bryan demonstration. In
spite of this fact, the Minnesota ora
tor succeeded in interesting the con-
vention to a surprising degree, and it
was made evident that if it were not
for early pledges the Minnesota COVER
nor would have had an immensely
larger following in the convention than
he was able to show on the final bal
lot.
Gas the speaker rapidly sketched
the early life in poverty of Governor
Johnson and passed on to his political
triumphs when he was elected governor
the first time in the face of 100000
majority for Roosevelt, the thing
seemed to catch the imagination of
the delegates and the galleries took up
the cries so that at the conclusion of
Mr.. Hammond's rather brief but for
chile speech demonstration was set
on foot which by careful nursing was
made to last but twenty-five minutes.

He Had Not Been in the Best of
Health for Some Time;
Suffered Much.
Broken Down With a Nervous
Trouble; Was Treated at
Sanitorium.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Wendall Engwalsen was found dead
in bed this morning at the home OF
Mrs. Fred Widell, 3O3 North Broad
street. A physician who was summon,
ed pronounced death due to heart
trouble. Coroner Kennedy was also
summoned, but found no reason for
holding an inquest.
Mr.. Engwalson was born in Sweden
about twenty-six years ago, and came
to America twenty years ago with
his parents, locating in Mankato. He
was employed by ]. B. & d. Richards
as clerk for ten years. During the
latter part of this time his health
began to fail, and he was finally
a year ago last spring, obliged to give
up his position. He conducted store
in Dukes addition for three or four
months, but did not improve as he had
expected to and was beset with a
nervous trouble, that finally forced
him to give up business.
Entered a Sanitorium.
Mr.. Engwalsen then entered the
Mound Park sanitorium at st. Paul,
and was there three different times,
coming home Saturday last, somewhat
better, and expecting to remain home.
Sunday he was somewhat respondent,
which was the condition that his ner-
vous trouble brought on. Yesterday,
however he was cheerful and worked
all day in Fngwalson Bros store.
Last evening he took long with Ed.
Nyquist and seemed in fairly good
health He was staying with Mr..
and Mrs; Sarl Engwaison, who are
residing in Mrs. Fred WidelPs house,
and retired at ten o'clock last even
ing as well as he had been for a long
time. Nothing was heard from him
during the night, but at seven o'clock
this morning he was found dead in
his bed. A physician was at once
summoned, and found that he had been
dead some little time.
Leaves Widow and Five Children.
Mr.. Engwalson was married about
seven years ago to Miss Agnes Shee-
han, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Pa
trick Sheehan, who, with five small
children, survives him. The family
have been living in St. Paul while
Mr.. Engwalsen was in the sanitorium,
but were preparing to move back to
Mankato. The deceased is also sur
vived by his mother, who has been
visiting her daughter in st. James
recently, three brothers, E. A. Carl,
and Andrew Engwalsen, and two sis
tiers, Mrs. S. A. Swanson of this city
and Mrs. Ed. Olson of st. James. The
latter and her mother arrived in the
city today.
The deceased was a member of the
A. o. U. w. lodge and carried some
life insurance He was favorite
with all, possessed of happy dis
position when well, steady, industri-
Gus and of saving disposition. He
was a member of the Swedish Lu-
theran church, and was kind husband
and indulgent father. His sudden
death causes much regret, and the
stricken family will have the sympa-
thy of all.
Funeral services will probably be
held Thursday afternoon at the Swe-
dish Lutheran church.
The physician states that the de.
ceased was suffering from meningitis
for some time, and that cerebral hem
orrhage probably caused his death.
