HAIL STORMS NEAR WINOEA
SOME DAMAGE DONE TO FARM
ERS' CORN LAND.
Lightning Works Havoc With Teie-
phone Lines in that
Vicinity.

Winona. = The most severe rain
wind, hail and electric storm in three
years Sunday night deluged South
eastern Minnesota. The storm of over
two hours duration, followed at the
close of day of milder rainfall at
intervals. The hardest rainfall was
experienced between Winona and
Owatonna In this city the fall of rain
between and o'clock was over an
inch and half.
Telephone communication was al
most entirely cut off here because of
the lightning, which played incessant-
ly during the storm. 1t is not be-
lieved that the hail was heavy enough
to do severe damage although the
heavy rains will wash the rolling land
and ruin crops. The corn land will
have to be replowed after being beaten
down by the severe rain. Small
streams in this locality, swollen by the
several days of rain, will overflow
their banks, according to reports, and
damage from that source is antici-
pated

SUES FOR $214,000.
Land Company Agent Says He Was
Denied Lawful Commission.

Winona. The May term of the
United States court opened in Winona
Tuesday, with Judge Willard presid-
ing. 1t is probable only one case will
be tried, although several are on the
calendar. This case will most likely
be that of A. Y Jameson against the
United States Land company for dam
ages of $4,000. The complaint says
the plaintiff entered into an agreement
to sell 100000 acres of land in Sap
Joaquin valley, California, and was to
receive per cent commission and
some other monetary consideration;
that thereafter he entered into sell
ing arrangement with M. w. Savage of
Minneapolis as result of which plans
whereby practically the whole of the
land was to be disposed of at $3.50 an
acre were worked out, but that when
it came to actual disposal of the land
the defendant company set up it did
not have clear title to part of it. The
plaintiff says he spent $4,000 in ar
ranging for the sales.

MURDER CONFESSION
Writer of Note Picked Up at Worth
inston, Claims to be Slayer.

Worthington - While Glen Eggles-
ton and Joe Sahlbom were engaged in
friendly tussle in the livery barn
owned by the formers father, day
or so ago, piece Of evidence in rela-
ton to the Krause murder case was
brought to light. On a piece of paper
was found wr;itten the following;
March, 1903. AS / am leaving the
tcrsn, and ! murdered Mr.. Krause in
Adrian, I will rite my confession If
Mrs. Krause is convicted. She will
find this and will be free. Look for
me in Chicago, Ill. Tom Berten."
August Krause was killed at his
home in Adrian on. the evening of Jan.
Z, 1904. The circumstances surround
ing his death were peculiar and no one
was convicted of the crime. AS far
as is known no one was in the house
with Mr. Krause on the evening of his
death, except his wife, who was ar
rested on suspicion, but later acquit-
ted.

MANKATo is UPHELD
Commission Form of Government
Constitutional.

ST. Paul. = Mankato's commission
plan was Endorsed by the supreme
court. The court holds the law re-
moves all doubt as to the right OF
cities throughout the state to adopt 1t.
The request for an Interpretation of
the law came through number OF
citizens who asked for writ of custer
for those elected under the new form
of government. The point raised was
that the Mankato city charter was un-
authorized and that it was in violation
of the constitution because it con-
ferred upon the mayor joint executive
and legislative powers.
In passing on this one point the
court said that the constitution, which
says that the powers of government
shall be divided into executive, legis-
lative and judicial, does not apply to
municipal government and neither it's
expressed intent nor it's spirit can be
made to apply. Therefore the law of
1909 authorizing cities and villages to
adopt the commission form of gov
eminent is constitutional and valid.
The Elwell good roads law, prod
uct of the last legislature, is also held
to be constitutional.
The test of the law came from Ram
sey county, where Fred NJ Murray, a
taxpayer, sought to enjoin Walter o.
Smith from paying out state money
for the construction of public high
way in Pennington county. He held
that the payment was in violation of
the constitution, which requires taxes
to be uniform upon the same class of
subjects.
Under the Elwell road law one
fourth of the cost of public highway
is borne by the property benefited,
one-fourth by the county and one-half
by the state. 1t was this latter pay
ment that the plaintiff sought to stop.
Murray's plea was denied by the lower
court. The case was of much impor-
lance and was watched with interest
by persons interested in good roads
all over the state. The state drainage
law and the work done under it also
was involved.

NEW PACKING PLANT.
HIbbing Company Will Furnish Meat
Supplies for Mesaba Range.

Hibbing. = The Burrows Packing
Company, recently organized by Hib-
bling business men and capitalized at
$4,000, has purchased the abattoirs
and plant of the Hibbing Rendering
Company, south of the city, and is
preparing to build in this city cold
storage plant. 1t will be of concrete,
with modern equipment and will be
on the Great Northern right-of-way.
The company is one of the first of it's
kind of the range. At the present time
it is slaughtering about two cars of
cattle a week, besides car of calves.
The first car of hogs handled by the
new concern arrived this week. The
promoters believe the business will
grow to be an important factor in fur
nishing the meat supplies for all the
Mesaba range territory.
