LIES WORK ENDED
Andrew Umbehocker, an Honorable
Citizen of This Village, Gath
cred to His Fathers,
A Truly Good r1an Who Did Unto
Others as He Would They
Should Do Unto Him,

Andrew Umbehocker, one of Prince
tons most highly esteemed citizens,
died at his home in the eastern part
OF the village on Tuesday morning,
February Is, at lis O'Clock. The
Immediate cause of death was pneu-
monia, which resulted from a cold
contracted while engaged in cutting
ice. Mr.. Umbehocker had been sick
about two weeks.
Funeral services will be held at the
family residence this (Thursday) af-
ternoon at 2 O'Clock and the cere-
mony will be conducted by the officers
of Fraternal lodge, No. 80, of the Or
der of Freemasons. The burial will
take place in Oak Knoll cemetery.
Andrew Umbehocker was born at
Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, on Novem-
Der 20, 1856, and was thus 81 years
and ) months old. He came to Min
nesota in 1866 and settled in Prince
ton, where he continued to reside until
called by death. He was member of
the Masonic and Maccabee orders.
Mr.. Umbehocker was married in
1886 to Miss Bessie Westblade and
nine children we're born of the union,
i've boys and four girls, all of whom
are living and reside at home. Mrs.
Umbehocker also survives her hus-
band. Other living relatives of the
deceased are his mother, Mrs. Jacob
Sausser of Mount Hood, Oregon:
three half brothers and three half Sis
tiers, viz, Lewis and Jacob Sausser,
Mount Hood, Oregon; Val. Sausser,
Princeton; Mrs. Emma Ellenbaum.
Princeton; Mrs. Minnie Olson, Beck
er: Mrs. Maggie Southland, Granite
Falls, Washington. Mr.. Undertook
'er's father was killed while fighting
for his country in the battle of Gettys-
burg.
In the death of Andrew Umbehocker
\ Princeton loses one of it's very best
citizens and his wife and family a
kind, loving husband and father.
Mr.. Umbehocker was a man in the
purest sense of the word-he was an
honorable man, a man of noble char
acter. We know of no man who is
more deserving of eulogy than this
industrious, unassuming, whole-souled
citizen who has passed away. The
world is better that he lived and it
would be better still had he lived
longer.

FERRELL VICTORIOUS
Order of Judge Taylor is Affirmed
In Appeal of First National
Bank of BroWerviIIe.
Keith and Peterson Were Counsel for
Appellant and e. L. Mcmillan
for Respondent Terrell.

Inc supreme court, on February 81,
made an order affirming Judge
Taylor's ruling in the case of First
National Bank of Browerville, appel
liant, VS.. Frank Stadden and W. 81.
Ferrell, copartners as W. II. Terrell
q Co., defendants; W. Il. Terrell re-
spondent. Chas. Keith and George
w. Peterson were counsel for APPEL
liant and E. L. Mcmillan for respon-
dent Terrell.
This suit was started in January.
1906, and was an action to recover on
draft for S95 made by Stadden on
Terrell. Terrell refused to honor this
draft upon grounds that it was unau-
thorized.
Ihe case came on for trial at the
April, 1906, term of the district, court
at Princeton before Judge Searle and
a jury, Stadden making no answer.
A verdict for plaintiff, the First Ma
tional Bank of Browerville, was re-
turned by the jury-practicaIly under
instructions from the Judge. Terrell,
through his attorney, then moved for
new trial, but in the meantime
Judge Searle had been stricken with
the malady from which he is now
suffering and was unable to hear the
motion. Consequently the motion
was argued before Judge Qvale of
Willmar, who presided at the October.
1906, term of court pursuant to execu-
tive designation, and who granted the
motion for a new trial.
At the April, 1907, term of the dis
trlct court the suit was again brought
on for trial, this time before Judge
Taylor and jury. The judge, how
ever, passed upon the case himself
and ruled in favor of Terrell. To this
ruling plaintiffs excepted and took
appeal to the supreme court. The case
was submitted on briefs February S.
The syllabus is as follows:
~First-Members of trading conart-
nerships have implied authority to
pledge the credit of the firm bv the
issuance of negotiable instruments in
furtherance of the copartnership
business.
Second-But such authority is only
an inference or presumption arising
from the relationship of the parties
and is not conclusive.
Third-If the authority and duties
OF each member of such copartner-
ship be expressly defined or limited,
any act in excess of or beyond the
limitations imposed is void and not
binding upon the firm, except as to
third persons who without knowledge
of the limitations rely upon the i'm
piled authority of the individual men,
bers.
Fourth-Complaint in this action
upon a bill of exchange issued by one
member upon another of trading
copartnership held to show that the
issuance thereof was not within the
authority of the copartner issuing it.
Order affirmed. Brown. 7.

PROHIBITION LECTURE.
Liquor Question To Be Lncidly Expounde
by Hon. f. e. LObeck

Al4ooI HueoIIoh u he Lncldly EXpOunOed
by Hon. e. e. Lobeck.
Hon. r. E. Lobeck, prohibition
member of the last legislature from
Douglas county, will deliver an ad-
dress at Brands opera house on Sat-
urday evening, February 20.
Mr.. Lobeck is a resident of this
state, and has toured it from north to
south and from east to west in the
past fifteen years, during which time
he has devoted himself exclusively to
the discussion of the liquor problem.
His style of oratory is often described
as ford, and he INDUCES in many
brilliant flights, yet he is peculiarly
free from invective or abuse. MANY
consider him the best and strongest
Scandinavian prohibition speaker on
the continent.
MIR. Lobeck is also dated to speak
in the Swedish Baptist church at
Wyanett on Sunday morning, March
l; at the Spring Vale Baptist church
Sunday afternoon, and at the court
house in Cambridge Sunday evening.
The people of Princeton are fortu-
nate to have the opportunity of hear
ing this vital question and it's rela-
tion to civic Righteousness discussed
by one so ably fitted to present the
various phases connected with it.

Cook Beans In Sun

Mike Mahoney tells US that his son
Will has arrived at Lima, Peru, and
that the thermometer there registers
lO5 degrees in the shade. In letter
to his father Will says that the people
of Lima don't need any fire to cook
their beans. They plant their pot, or
kettle, at some place where the sun
strikes, which is almost everywhere,
and then rush under cover until the
Limas (beans) are cooked.

Secretary Garfield of the interior
department has sent to the senate a
recommendation that a change be
made in the law relating to the pay
ment of annuities to the Red Lake
band of Indians in Minnesota. Under
the existing law these annuities are
paid on Oct. l of each year. Secre-
tary Garfield says that in his opinion
the changing of the date of payment
to April 1 of each year will have the
effect of inducing the Indians to
make independent efforts for their
living during each winter. He asks
that congress make this change.
It is claimed that never in the
history of logging in the Duluth dis
trict has the rental of horses for work
in the woods been so high as at the
present time. Forty dollars month
is being paid, where heretofore S35
was considered exceedingly high, and
where the average was 1926 to $50.
This is quite contrast to earlier in
the season., when, before the recent
heavy SHOWS, teams for rent were a
drug on the market, and prices we're
way below what they had been for
several seasons.
