IT WAS THE FREAK CASE
William Rays Cow in Court at Red
wood Falls.

Redwood Gazette: The freak case
of the term was the comedy in sew
eral acts. all about Il COW which fin
ally coughed her tubercuar head off
in Walnut Grove stable. The COW
originally belonged to L. III. Hunter of
Tracy, was by him sold and consigned
to be called for at j. \. Grants stable
in Walnut Grove. When Ray called
for the animal and led her forth, his
experienced X-ray eye told him that
the animal had tuberculosis and that
he had been stung by the Tracy man,
whereupon he led bossy back to her
stall and vowed to get even with the
big-game Hunter. Ray and Hunter
both disavowing ownership of the
COW, the owner of the stable kept
the animal few months until the
white plague did its work with bossy
and her tale was told. Having been
damaged by the fame of the tuber-
cular COW in his stable. Grant re-
tanned Attorney Owens to sue both
Hunter and Ray and thus establish
ownership and reimburse his losses.
The attorneys made merry over the
case. the Tracy firm of Korns &
johnson breaking out into rhymes in
several canters. with Billy Owens
countering with another poetical out
breake almost as Lad as that of the
Tracy talent The tale of the COW
came to an end at last. the jury fix
ing damages to the amount of $50 for
Ray to pay, in addition to costs of
suit and the good money he paid for
half-uead COW. Ray vows he will

county court next fall, so that the
ghost of the dying COW which nobody
loved may yet haunt the court room
at Marshall as it has that of Red
wood Falls.

WILL BUY MORE TRAILERs
Decision loGs'the Msnkato Electric
Traction Com pany.


A meeting of the directors of the
Mankato Electric Traction company
was held last evening. and among
other things it was decided to pnr,
chase two more trailers, and the
equipment for another motor ear. so
that one of the trailers can be fitted
upon>Sit and made an open motor car
This will give the company six motor
cars,-and four trailers, and five OF the
motor cars will be closed ears ana
one open. This will afford the COM
pany an excellent equipment.
The closed car that got stalled at
Waseca arrived last night, and will
be fitted upon the motor equipment
that is already here as rapidly as
possible. The third open car was ex-
pected to arrive today. 1t is hardly
thought that the first closed car can
be fitted upon the motor equipment
soon enough to start service on the
Main and Fifth street line before
Sunday. 1t is proposed to put two
cars on that line and give the same
service that, there is on the Front
street line, in which case all cars will
connect at Main street.

OLDEST ENGINEER IS DEAD
Simeon e. Heddins Guided an Iron
Horse on Milwaukee Road.
from rThl1rSda Daily

Simeon E. Hedding, the oldest passen-
ger engineer on the Milwaukee road
died in Minneapolis yesterday, leaving
record which if not unequalled in
the annals of railway engineering is
so unusual as to command attention.
For forty years he was continuous
ly employed as an engineer and in that
long stretch of years he never lost
the company one cent of property. He
had many narrow escapes, which he
often related. but no wreck even of
the most triflng character was ever
laid at his door and it was his pride
that he had never been reprinianded
by his supcriors for the manner in
which he did his work.
He hail the honor of pulling the first
train which ran out of Minneapolis
over the Milwaukee road. This was
on Christmas day, 1874. The conduc-
tor of the train was the late Jerry
Coughhn
Mr.. Hcdding often related how he
saved the Bostonian Opera company in
the winter of 1898. He started out
with the company on a special train,
which left Minneapolis about midnight.
After he had passed Winona and was
running through u valley at good
rate. he slnelled black smoke. Although
he lr,d a clear track to the next sta
ton. he closed the throttle and APP
piled the brake. The next moment in
rounding a curve, the red lights of
caboose appeared just ahead. The
fireman jumped but Mr.. Hedding re-
manned at his post, doing his utmost
to stop the train and succeeded in
coming to "a standstill within six
inches of the freight train. For this
he was highly complimcnted by his
superiors
| Mr.. Hedding was born at Chazy n.
H., May 5. 1874. He came west
at the age of twenty-four and en-
tered the service of the Milwaukee
road as engineer and remained in that
service until his death. His last
run was in December. when he
WAS overcome by inlaling gas which
escaped from the furnace and filed
cab during the entire run. His heart
was affected and he died from heart
failure. II 'e9
