Disagreeable Experience.

From thursdays Daily.
County Commissioner Hanson
walked from his home to Lake Crys-
tai yesterday morning to catch the
train for Mankato. On the way he
took step off into the snow and
suddenly disappeared from sight.
When he looked about and took his
bearings he discovered that lie had
stepped into five foot tile ditch.
He did not have his mittens on or
cap pulled down, and got all covered
with snow and nearly frostbitten aft
erwards.
Last winter Mr.. Hanson had a
worse experience than this. He was
walking towards his home after the
storm that drifted the high snow
banks and formed crust on the
snow. He saw a fine big drift and
thought that he would make short
cut on it to his home. When in the
middle of it the crust suddenly gave
way and he went down ten feet into
a plum orchard. The crust was rest
ing on the tops Of the trees and

LIKE A SNAiL'S PACE
British Justice Does Not Travel So
Awful Fast.


London, January 9.-Those who
have recently been boasting of the
speed with which English Justice is
dispensed can hardly point with
pride TO the case of Peddar and
Howard VS.. Woodward, which was
resumed today after having been
hanging fire for nearly six centuries.
The case was originally filed i'm
1913, during the reign of Edward
III, and was brought by the Abbot
OF st. Osyth, Essex, against Richard
dc Maundeville, the point at issue be-
ing the right of Richard to hold a
market in Stowmarket. The abbot.
as the lord of the manor, alleged
that Maundeville's grant was Illegal.
~ obtained and sought to have it
set aside. Maundeville went away
TO the wars in France and claimed
the kings protection during his alb
sence, causing the case to be ad.
1ourned. G. F. Howard and C. N.
Peddar are the modern representa-
yves OF Maundeville, and they object
to the right of the present-day rem
resentative OF the abbot, G. A.
Woodward. to set up a rival market.
Extracts from the pleadings of the
abbot and of Maundeville are ex.
pected to play an important part in
the hearing, which was resumed
last November but almost immedi.
ately adjourned until today. At that
time the justice held that there was
no need for haste in deciding a
case which had been continued for
563 years.

MANDAMUS is STARTED
Solomon 3. Taylor Seeks Pension
For Fighting the indians.

From Thursdays Daily.
Solomon b. Taylor is an applicant
for pension from the state under
the law granting pensions to those
who fought the Indians. He claims
q pension to date from January l.,
1905, but the adjutant general re-
fuses to pass on his case on the
ground that at the time the law was
passed he was receiving aid from
the state to the amount of Sc a
month. Mr.. Taylor had retained II.
l.. & j. w. Schmitt, who take the
ground that he ought to be allowed
to relinquish his state aid and re-
ceive pension Of $12 month.
Mr. Taylor, through his attorneys,
has started mandamus proceedings
against the adjutant general, by
means of which the question raised
by the latter can be decided by the
courts. The point is a new one.
