GIRL GETS
$1,000 FROM LOVER
WHO DISCARDED HER
de Caressed and Kissed Her,
but His Recent Marriage Was
With Another Woman.

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. 2S.--It took the
Jury in circuit cour at P~lankinton a
little over two hours to reach a verdict
IN the breach of promise suit instituted
by Miss Mary Mueller. of White Lake,
against William Kirsch, and award her
the verdict. setting her damages at
$4,000, although she sued for $4,000.
The trial reached a conclusion Satur-
day afternoon when the jury brought
In the verdict.
It lasted but a day, but 1t served to
bring out a mighty big crowd of in
terested people, coming from all parts
Of the county. The largest part of the
crowd was women, who. with the men,
|hlled the court room to its capacity, the
women remaining in their seats from
morning until night in order to retain
their place in the court room.
1t was expected hat during the
course of the trial the letters which had
passed between Kirsch and Miss Muel-
Ter would be read in open court. and
the audience was prepared to hear
something of an interesting nature,
preston 81 Wagner, however. the at
torneys for the defendant, shut off any
thing like that coming in by admitting
me fact that q marriage contract had
been made between the TIVE parties en-
January 5, 1910. This admission acted
as a bar to the Introduction of the let
ters n of any evidence prior to that
period.
The defense brought out the fac,
after the marriage contract had been
made the young woman told kirsch
II he found any girl who he could owe
better he was free to break the en-
gagement. Kirsch stated that after the
engagement Miss Mueller commenced
to grow cold and Indifferent toward
him, and did not show the affection for
him that she at one time evidently
possessed.
When Miss Mueller was on the stand,
her attorneys managed to get in the
statement that Kirsch showed a great
ueat of affection for her, that he car
essed her and kissed her, and hat these
acts were of frequent occurrence. They
had been going together since 1906
Late last fall kirsch was married to
another woman, and at the time Miss
Mueller n her relatives attempted tC
prevent the bans being Solemnized by
the Catholic priest. wen invoking the
aid of Bishop O'Gorman, who, it ia
stated. notified the priest not to per-
torn the ceremony. 1t was accom-
plished. however. One of the peculiar
incidents of the trial was that a brother
OF kirsch, who married one of the
Mueller girls, was a witness for the
fair plaintiff, declining TO stand by his
brother in the case. Although he was
not brought on the stand. for mis- tes-
timony referred to the period previous
to 1910. 1t is stated that Miss Mueller
intends to take up her residence on g
claim in the western part of the state.
The verdict of the jury seems to have
been a popular one.

CABINET HAS
RESIGNED ITS OFFICE
BRAND Ministry Falls as Result
of Intrigues and Attacks OF
Combined Opposition.

Paris, Feb. 2S.-Premier Aristide
BRAND, who succeeded Clemenceau as
premier Of the French cabinet on July
23, 1909, today rendered the
of his ministry to President Falneres.
November 2, last, BRAND resigned for
mally, but a few hours later he was
restored to power and formed a new
cabinet from which all elements not
thoroughly in sympathy with his attl-
tude toward labor had been ellmln-
ated.
The situation now is wholly differ
ent, and the premier had declared him
self weary of the chickering's OF parlia-
ment and the intrigues of the groups
nominally supporting him and x
pressed the wish that he might be re-
ment.
Has Had Long Struggle.
For a year and a half BRAND a
successfully combatted the socialist
parties with which he was originally
affiliated, but last Friday night, when
he was attacked on the ground that he
had not enforced the laws against the
congregations as set forth in the sep
aration act, the government escaped
censure by the slim majority of ID
votes. AT a conference on Saturday
the ministers determined to resign as
soon al today's obseques for General
Rrun, the late minister Of war, mad
been held.
-At-1:29 o'clock this afternoon the
| cabinet met at the Elysee palace with
President Fallieres, and soon after
ward the announcement of it's retire
ment was made. The retiring ministers
are:
Premier BRAND, Justice. Girard, For
aign Affairs Pichon, Marine Admiral
Boue de Lasayrere, Public Instruction
Faure, Finance Klotz, Commerce Du-
puy, Agriculture Raynaud, Colonies
Morel, Labor Lafferre, public Works
Puech.
Premier BRAND n the other min.
..sters went directly to the Elysee pal
ace from the ministry of war. On
behalf of himself and colleagues, M.
| BRAND read a communication adj
dressed to President Fallieres. In this
it was declared that t.ic resignation OF
the ministry was imperative on ac-
count of the growing hostility of cer-
.ain elements in the republican coali-
ton. which We're constantly blocking
the governments program dedicated to
social progress and national order n
security.
The cabinets ambition was to carry
out a broad program of Cancellation
and appeasement.
So far as the question of the church
was concerned the ministers We're con-
WINGED that the church II state, hav-
Ing been separated, the work Of laici-
cation should be reasonable and toler-
ant and with respect for all religious
beliefs.
President Fallieres has not indicated
whom he will request for forming a
ministry. The availability of Senator
Antoine Monis has been suggested to
the president by an influential group.
M. Monis was minister Of justice in
the Waldeck Rousseau cabinet and for
30 years has been an important figure
in public life.
Later in the afternoon it was an
nounced that President Fallieres a
