The village of Minneota has won
the case against Auctioneer Jack
Martin.
Mr.. Martin was arrested for sell.
ing goods at public auction last
December without first having pro.
cured license under the village or.
dinances. The case was tried be.
fore Judge French and Mr.. Martin
was duly convicted by the court
and sentenced to a fine of $25 and
costs.
Mr. Martin did not deny the sell.
ing nor the fact that he had no Ii.
cense under the village ordinance
His defence was that the ordinance
was unreasonable inasmuch as it re
quired a daily license fee of $25.
This was the test question at is.
sue and now Judge Olsen has de
cided that $25 is not an unreason.
able fee and that Mr.. Martin will
have to pay the fine.
The chances are that the case
will be appealed to the supreme
court, as the auctioneers of the
whole state are quite interested and
then there will be an opportunity to
get the court to rule on the state
law that permits villages this pow.
ler of specially taxing auctioneers
under certain circumstances.

The Dunnell creamery was entire
ly destroyed by fire yesterday after
noon.
Fire was first discovered in the
ice house about two o'clock. The
fire company promptly responded but
the hose lacked 100 feet of reach
ing the burning structure. Nothing
could be done except to save as
much as possible of the contents of
the creamery. All. the butter on
hand, one churn and some other
machinery, etc., were saved.
1t is supposed that the fire origin.
ated from spontaneous combustion in
the sawdust of the ice house. This
building stood close Ito the creamery
and the flames readily communicated
to the other building.
Chris Jensen, the buttermaker,
was absent when the fire was dis
covered but the alarm was promptly
turned in by his assistant.
The loss is $4,000, partly covered
by insurance.
A temporary building will be Sc
cured and the business continued
with the least possible delay and
new creamery erected later.

A serious motorcycle accident oc-
CURED in Courtland last Sunday
.evening at about seven o'clock,
which nearly proved disastrous to
the two young men from Mankato
who were riding the machine, says
The New Ulm Journal They were
passing through the main street of
Courtland, going rather rapidly,
when an innocent looking bovine
stepped out of an alleyway and
started across the street. Evidently
the man guiding the motor failed to
see the COW, as the machine crashed
into the animal with such impact
as to break both forelegs and it
had to be killed. The cow belonged
to Rud. Holzerland, and Mankato
auto concern who had sent out the
motorcycle, paid the owner the value
of the COW.
The young man riding on the
front seat was quite seriously in
jured, but his companion escaped
without scratch. The motor was
badly smashed as a result of the
accident. Both men were brought
to New Ulm in an auto where the
young man who was hurt received
prompt medical attention. Both de-
parted for their homes on the fol-
lowing day, considerable wiser for
their experience and narrow escape
from death.
This incident should prove warn.
ing to those who delight in "burn-
ing up the street" in this city, for
sooner or later they will run down
someone or crash into an auto with
tragic results.

Young Assyrian Wife
Did Not Understand
From Saturdays Daily.


In the women's apartment of the
county Jail sits a little dark-eyed
girl who is awaiting word from Bis
hop p. P. Heffron of the Catholic
church as to whether she must be
the wife of Charles Buckley of Tine
komville. The girls maiden name
was Elizabeth MAN Buckley and
she was married to Charles Buckley
on May 13. The ceremony was per-
formed at the home of Mr. Buckley
and his parents by an Assyrian
priest, Ebias Abboud of Omaha, Neb.,
who is cousin of Mr. Buckley.
The girl came to Mankato with
her mother about May 8, and she
claimed to The Free Press today
that she never had met or heard of
Mr.. Buckley until after coming here.
She was visiting with Mrs. Mary
Shama of Tinckomville when she
met Buckley and the girl claims
that the marriage was arranged by
her mother.
| Mrs. Buckley stated to The Free
Press that she is but thirteen years
of age, and that at the time the mar
riage ceremony was performed she
did not know what was taking place.
She finally told her story to Father
| Spirig of st. Peter and Paul's
church and he later conferred with
Clerk of Court Krost.
The girl was brought up in a con-
vent at Wabasha, and the sisters
there have been written to regarding
the girls age. Also the bishops let

Many persons making railroad
trips since the first of the week have
been disappointed because they were
forced to pay more than a two-cent
rate to points outside of the state.
Railroad officials report many of
these cases since the new rate went
into effect Monday. There seems
to be a misunderstanding on the
part of many about the new rates
and some travellers have writ
ten letters of protest to the
offices of the roads in st. Paul ex-
pressing indignation at being forced
to pay more than two cents
In the matter of the refunds the
same thing is noted. One of the
roads reports that the majority of
the applications received for passen-
ger refunds are for interstate trips.
The new rates and the refunds to
be made apply only to intrastate
traffic, or within Minnesota, and the
railroads cannot legally sell passen-
ger fares or make refunus on inter
state business, or from this to an
other state.
The interstate commerce commits.
sion made a ruling a few weeks ago
regarding the Minnesota rate case,
and in this statement the commits
sion set the date of May 1, 1914 for
the time limit allowed railroads to
prepare and file their interstate
tariffs. So for the present the inter-
state fares will remain the same.

New Ulm, July 26.-Without noti-
flying anyone, not even his wife,
Conrad B. Alex, rural carrier on
route No. 3, left this city with his
Brush one-cylinder auto Monday
afternoon at about four o'clock. He
had covered his route and returned
to the postoffice at two o'clock in
the afternoon. He left no informa-
tion that he would leave the city as
he went home shortly thereafter and
told his wife that he would attend
to some errands in town and return
in the evening.
Before leaving he gave his wife $5
in currency, keeping the balance of
$50 which he displayed. This, how
ever, evidently is not all the money
he had with him when he left as he
sold a lot recently for $500 and had
received a check of $13S for clam
shells. He informed his wife that
he would pay some debts with this
money and he seems to have made
part payment on a few accounts.
Many people are steadily reporting
that he is indebted to them in vari-
Gus sums, which will undoubtedly
total several thousand dollars, in.
cluding a $1,SOO mortgage on his
residence and two lots. He seems
to have become financially embar,
rassed.

Echo of Hildenbrand
Bankruptcy In Letter
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
An echo of the II. F. Hildenbrand
bankruptcy is heard in a circular
letter which has been issued to his
creditors by the Northwestern job
bers' Credit Bureau, st. Paul Mr..
Hildenbrand formerly conducted the
Saulpaugh hotel here. The commu-
nication recites:
"At the first meeting of creditors
we represented only a few claims,
but in view of the conditions exist
ing no one took any interests in the
proposition and the manager of the
bureau was therefore elected trus-
tee. The condition Of affairs as
shown by the. schedules in bank
ruptcy is that there are liabilities
amounting to $4O,293.45. While the
assets consisting of household goods
valued at $400, are claimed as
exempt. At the time our represen-
tative arrived at Mankato the fur
niture, fixtures and stoves of the
hotel had been removed"
History Of a Transfer.
The letter then goes into a history
of the hotel, dealing with the COM
ing here of Messrs. Hildenbrand and
C. w. Miller from Newark, Ohio, and
the purchase of the hotel interests
and furnishings from the Hamiltons.
Messrs. Hildenbrand and Miller gave
to the Hamiltons their notes for $13,-
241.76I and a small payment in
cash. The Hamiltons assigned the
mortgage to other parties. In Novem-
ber, 1912, Mr.. Miller retired from the
hotel and Mr.. Hildenbrand assumed
the Indebtedness of the co-partner-
ship. The letter refers to a $4,000
loan made by the hotel in April, 1912,
and another in May, 1912, of $500.
