HARD FOUGHT LEGhL BATTLE.

Stone county jury was finished in the
district court at Ortonville last Sat-
urday morning when Dan Meyer was
awarded verdict of $500 with in
terest at six per cent from September,
1909, against the Heating Land and
Mortgage Company, Of this city. The
trial occupied a whole week, and two
night sessions were necessary. Mey-
er is land man in Morris and his
suit against the Heating company was
brought to secure commissions on the
sale of 2,400 acres of land disposed Ct
for the company in September, 1909.
The case attracted wide interest be-
cause of the amount and the promin-
ence Of the men involved.
The case was started in 1911 and
the first trial came at Ortonville in
1913, which resulted in a verdict for
the Heating company. An appeal was
taken and the supreme court sent it
back for trial on all issues. Judge
Qvale, of Willmar, was the presiding
Judge last week and Attorney Meyer,
of South Bend, Ind, assisted by
Kaercher & Ferch of Ortonville, re-
presented the plaintiff, and E. T.
Young and Cliff & Purcell, of Orton.

total amount of the verdict given Mey-
err last week amounts to $6,969.5O and
the defendant will also have to stand
the cost Of both trials, which will be
considerable.
1t is understood the Heating COM
pany will prepare an appeal and the
end is not yet.-Morris Tribune.

At THE PLAYH OUS IS
MAJESTIC.
1.-THE Man Trail"

remembered as the leading man in
"The White Sister," takes the leading
part in the production of 'The Man
TRAIL" to be shown at the Majestic
theatre Friday of this week. He is
ably supported by Miss June Keith,
and an all-star cast. The picture deals
with the rough and rugged characters
of the logging camp, men of prim-
tive passions and the cave man meth
cd of obtaining their desires and dis
posing of an enemy. The scenes of
the picture were mostly taken at ''The
Pines," at the mouth of Dead River,
near Waukegon, ILL.,, an ideal spot for
the setting.
The story of the play evolves
around John Peabody, an athletic
young man, who tires of city life and
goes to his uncle's logging camp in
search of adventure, and to prove him.
self. His uncle, "Wolf John," a rough
giant Of a man, thinks his nphew an
effeminate youth and refuses to recog-
nfze him, although he gives him job.
When the young man wins lum-
Der saving contest and later subdues
a crowd of lumberjacks engaged in a
drunken brawl, the uncle announces
he will make him partner in the
firm.
Peabody falls in love with Belle, the
adopted daughter of "Wolf John"
"Bull' Bart, foreman of the camp, al
so is in love with her. He is the
crude, INSCRIPTIONS type of the back
woods and hates Peabody with all his
soul because the girl favors him. Bart
quits the lumber camp and takes a
place with rival concern. He and
his men constantly interfere with Pea
body, who succeeds to the foreman
ship, in the hope of making him for
felt the right to certain timber
tract, as the contract calls for time
limit in clearing it away.
Peabody foils him at every turn,
and, goaded into a fury, Bart stalks
Peabody in an attempt to kill him.
He is wounded in gun battle between
the two factions, but Bart is driven
away. Later the two meet face to
face and then comes the battle to
death. Peabody proves the better man
and Stays the man who boosted he
would kill him on sight.
The camp troubles finally are over,
and Peabody has proved to his uncle
he is a real man. He wins to the
partnership and Bells confesses her
love for him.
1.-THE Mating"
On Tuesday evening next, the Nut
ual Masterpiece to be shown at the
Majestic will be The Mating, starring
Bessie Barriscale and Lewis ]. Cody.
This is picture of college life, pro-
duced under the direction of Thos. H.
Ince. The story tells how an old
fashioned country girl wins social rec
ognition, and husband.
It is an intensely interesting play,
showing the adventures of Doris Will
ard, a little country girl at a select
boarding school, where she is snubbed
owing to her old fashioned ways and
her dowdy clothes.
Seeing a picture in newspaper of
Bullet" Dick Ames, the football hero,
she conceives the plan Of writing let
ter to herself, signing Ames' name to
it, asking her to become his wife. How
the plan of the other girls in the
school to expose her innocent decep-
ton, and further humiliate her, was
foiled by Dick himeslf, forms a strong
climax to this delightful comedy
drama Of college life. -:
