TAR CASE AGAIN.
Chenille Citizens Asked to Respond
In Sum of $4,000 Damages.

Albert Lea.-Dr. Freeman, victim of
the famous tar and feather" case of
Chenille, Mimi, will again have the
matter aired in court. His attorneys,
Latham, Pidgeon & Larson, have
served papers on Walter Knutson, Ole
Hanson VIII Swenson and George
Bailey, all prominent citizens of Glen
vile, asking $4,000 each of damages
to his business and personal injury.
This is the case where eleven of the
most prominent men cf Glenville were
tried last February On indictments
found by the grand jury charging them
with assault and battery and with
instigating riot. The jury brought in
verdict of mot guilty"
The assault OF Freeman occurred on
the night of April 10, 1911. Just as he
was leaving his drug store ha was at
tackled by a crowd of masked men.
He was knocked down and the con-
tents of kettle of roofing paint and
tar was poured over his body and head.
He was then covered with feath ers
and pelted with .decomposed eggs.
The paint ran into his eyes, and for
many days he lay in the city and coun-
ty hospital where it was thought he
would lose the sight of both eyes.
1t is said the family relations of the
doctor had become somewhat strained
and had excited the indignation of citi.
zens to great extent:
II. H. Dunn and H. C.. Carlson were
attorneys for the eleven Chenille citi
zens while Assistant States Attorney
James assisted County Attorney N. E
Peterson for the state.

FIGHT.

Word to Start for the

Minneapolis several hun.
dreds Of cheers for Christianity and
Kisses for the Mohammedan Turks,
500 Greeks of Minneapolis and st. Paul
pledged their lives for their native
country and promised to return to
Athens at once to assist the Grecian
troops and the soldiers of the Balkan
republics in their war against Tur-
key.
The oldest Greek residents of Min
neapolis declared that never before
in the history of the Greek communi.
ty had there been such enthusiasm.
Within 20 minutes after the close of
the speeches more than $4,000 was
pledged for the cause of their country.
This war is not a war of conquest"
declared each of the eight speakers.
1T is war for Christ and Christian
ity For many centuries the Chris
tian countries of the world have been
Inundated by barbarian fanatics of
Turkey. They have massacred the
Christians and spat in the faces Of
those who do not believe in Moham-
med. This war is a religious war,
like our forefathers fought centuries
ago."
The reserves were called On to re-
turn to their native land first. There
are aborN $50 reserves living in Min
neapolis who have had previous mill
tary experience. They had not COM
pleted their military service for
Greece, but were given permission to
leave the country on the promise to
return should their service be need
ed.
The first party of these reserves will
leave Minneapolis for New York,
where, where they will take ship for
Athens. 1t is not known for certain
how many will be in the party. When
names were called everybody appar-
emily was anxious to go. One old
man who looked to be 80 years old,
jumped on chair and with cheers for
the king of Greece yelled: Il am too
old to fight, but my blood boils when
think of the outrages that have been
committed against our country and
religion"
There was almost q riot at the meet
ing to see who would be the first to
sign paper indicating his desire to
return to Greece at once. The honor
finally. went to Captain Dookakos, who
is veteran of the war with Turkey in
1897.

of the political and philanthropic life
of the state, paid to the personality
and accomplishments of the late Mrs.
Mary l.. Starkweather, at the memoir
al meeting the first ever held in the
state Capitol for a woman-and,
though there was no preconcerted ar
rangement as to their topics, prac-
tically none of the speakers found it
necessary to duplicate the tribute of
another speaker. This fact itself was
a testimonial of the versatile enthus-
iasm of the woman who created her
unique department in the state labor
bureau.

the State Federation of Women's

that Mrs. Starkweather had done.

are working for such department as

A gas engine was recently erected
several thousand feet above sea level.
The engine did not give the power ex-

loss was due to the altitude of the
station. Upon investigation of the
theoretical and practical considera-
lions involved, it was found that there
is loss of about one per cent. of the
indicated horse power for each 1000
feet of increase in elevation. The eff
