Judge Pau filed several orders
today. The most important is de-
cision in the suit of Martin G.. John
son VS.. o. II. Osmundson and the
OsmundsOn Land company. The
court finds that in this case the plain
tiff is entitled to judgment dissolvinS
the partnership between Messrs.
Johnson and Osmundson, but that
no further accounting is necessary,
as this was done sufficiently on the
trial of the case. AS to the claim
of the plaintiff for personal judg-
ment against the defendants, the
court holds that the latter are en-
titled to judgment dismissing the &C
ton. Neither party is to recover
costs or disbursements.
In the case of the Village of Good
Thunder VS.. Gustave C. Manthei
and others, the court orders that the
} decision heretofore rendered and
filed January 80 last, establishing
the line between sections 9 and 10,
along the easterly side Barnard's
addition to Good Thunder, be set
aside and the case reopened, provided
that the evidence already taken may
| be used at the second trial of the
case, and provided that the plain
tiff will provide a transcript of the
evidence to be used at the second
trial.
/ In the case of the Theodore Hamm
Brewing company VS.. Henry Rosen
and others, Judge .Pfau makes an
order refusing the motion of the de-
PENDANT William Wittmers that the
judgment be vacated.

An appeal has been taken to the

Paul hasten, of, CORTLAND, narrow
ly escaped serieusr injury and prob
ably death, while attempting to cross
the Northwestern tracks near the
CORTLAND depot Thursday noon, says
The New Ulm Journal. The west
bound passenger train was just pull
ing into the village at a rate of about
twenty-five miles an hour, and Mr..
hasten, who was driving a four
horse team of George Meyer, which
was hitchod to a sulkyaplow,, did not
observe the rapidlyoapproaching train.
Fortunately there wereba number of
people standing on the depot plat
FORM and they shouted at him, call
ing his attention to the impending
danger, and he stopped the horses
just in the nick of time, before they
had stepped onto the track.
For the safety of the general pub
lie, and for the best interests of the
Northwestern railroad as well, the
proper officials of that company
should investigate the reckless man
ner in which their passenger trains
are being run upon approaching the
CORTLAND depot, as The Journal is
reliably informed that almost invarla-
bly, trains coming from. both direc-
tons come tearing into the. village at
a speed of about twenty-five miles an
hour, although they have fully mile
on either side of the depot in which
to slacken UP their speed.

William Struebing, labOrer, COM
mitted suicide at CORTLAND yester-
day afternoon. He was single
man, aged forty and boarded with
Rudolph Holzerland During the
afternoon while his landlord was
reading a newspaper, Struebing made
the remark that he was going up
stairs and shave himself. A few
moments later Mr.. Holzerland heard
shot He opened door leading
into the hallway and was met with
the smell of smoke. He at once
hunted up Marshal Ernest Etler and
together they went to Struebing's
room. There they found the pros
trate form of Struebing lying across
the bed, with a shotgun between his
knees and chisel on the floor. He
had used the chisel to work the
trigger
Shot Self Above Heart.
The contents of the gun had en-
tered the mans chest just above the
heart. He had died instantly. His
face was somewhat distorted. DR..
Merritt of st. Peter, coroner OF Mic
ollet county, was summoned, and
after learning all the circumstances
connected with the mans death, con-
cluded that an inquest was unne-
ceSSary.
Mr.. Struebing had been resident
of CORTLAND six years. He was a
quiet, Industrious man, had very
little to say about himself, and no
one knows whether he has any rela,
tives in this country. The only
cause that is assigned for his sui
eide is ill-health. He had been com
planning of stomach trouble.

slow, but at times it livened up ami
gave the rOoters chance. Bots
men showed considerable skill and
strength and much endurance. More
hart won the first bout in two min
utes fiat with an arm bar hold. The
second bout was taken by LaDue IN
twenty-three minutes, and the third
bout was very long one, lasting
fifty-four minutes and twenty sec
onds. Morehart won this with toe
hold The ST. Peter crowd were
hoping that their man would win, and
refrained from making any great
demonstration at the outcome, but
the thirty Mankato young men who
went in autos and by train made
up for the lack of enthusiasm on

was free from chickering's, and the
best of feeling prevailed.
The match was held for the benefit
