UNSATISFACTORY TRADE
Morrison County Land
Figures in Ramsey Co.
Case

Land about four miles west Of
Darling station is involved in a case
pending before Judge Brill at st.
Paul.
It is the suit brought by Casper
Roth against J. G. Edwards and
others, doing business as the Edwa rds
Land company and others.
The plaintiff, in February, 1905,
owned wreamery in Douglas county,
Mimi, and desired to trade it for
land.
He found 80 acres in Morrison
county which he decided to take for
the creamery, and did so trade, on the
basis of 5000 for the creamery and a
payment by the plaintiff of $500 in
cash.
His claim, in brief, is that the land
which had been examined and
approved was not the land exchanged
for the creamery, and he demands the
sum of 81, 4O1.
The defendant, w. H. Jones, in his
answer, makes a counter claim of
$74O.29 saying that the creamery was
much less valuable than the plaintiff

NEAR DEATH IN FIRE
Former Little Falls People
in Danger at Crooks
ton

Crookston, Mimi, March 21.-Mrs.
Peter Huff and her son, Louis, IS
years of age, had narrow escape
from cremation last night in fire
which completely Quilted their resi-
dence on Robert street They were
alone, MI. Huff being at Grand
Forks, and Louis was awakened bv
the smell of smoke. He opened the
door into the hall on the second floor
and was nearly suffocated by the rush
of dense smoke. He rushed to his
mothers room across the hall and
aroused her. They cropped their way
down stairs, but were forced to retreat
upstairs again by the flames. Taking
blankets, they covered their heads and
again started down stairs, and when
near the bottom, dashed through the
door and to the front entrance, which
was unlocked, and staggered into the
street almost overcome
They turned in an alarm, and
though the fremen had but two blocks
to travel, the entire house was
enveloped in flames when they reached
the scene. Chief Morris says the fire
is one of the most peculiar he ever
saw, as every portion of the house,
upstairs and down, seems to be burned
about the same All the furniture
was burned. George F. Carpenter
owned the house and carried 81, 200
Insurance. His loss was about So,

about 81, 500, with $4,000 insurance

ENDORSER MUST BE NOTIFIED.

A decision favorable to F. E.
Cawley has been handed down by
Judge NJ. D. Taylor in the case of A.
2. Renzlow VS.. Thomas Cawley Sr. !,
Thomas Cawley Jr., and F. E.
Cawley, which was tried at the March
term of the district court in this city.
In this case the plaintiff claimed F. E.
Cawley was liable for some notes
payable to him which Mr.. Cawley had
endorsed. The plaintiff had sold a
laundry in the year 1906 to the
Messrs. Thomas Cawley, ST., and Jr. I,
receiving in payment $500 and four
notes signed by the purchasers Of the
laundry and endorsed by F. E..
Cawley One of these notes was paid,
but F. E. Cawley was not notified
when the others came due and they
were not paid.
In his decision Judge Taylor holds
that F. E. Cawley was an ''endorser'
and not a maker" of the notes and
as he was not notified at the time
they were due, he is relieved OF
liability. The above will prove OF
much enlightenment to those who have
hereto taken it for granted that the
endorser of note was liable whether
he was notified or not at the time q
note became due

MAKE IT YOURSELF
Says Many Persons Here
Can Be Made Happy
Again

There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the
following advice by an eminent
, authority, who writes for readers of a
large Eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
, half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla Shake these we'll in a
, bottle and take in teasponful doses
after each meal and at bedtime also
drink plenty of good water
1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dreaded and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple home made mix
ture, and in most cases permanent
cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the eliminative
tissues of the Kidneys SO that they can
filter and strain from the blood and
system the poison, acids and waste
matter. which cause not only Rheuma-
tism, but numerous other diseases.
Every man or woman here who feels
that their kidneys are not healthy and
active or who suffer from any urinary
trouble whatever, should not hesitate
to make up this mixture, as it is
certain to do much good, and may
save you from much misery and
suffering after while.
Our home. druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers asks them.
