HERZOG AND HIS CREW GIVE
BOES THE HOOK.

War has been declared by the local
police on the Weary Willies who have
been infesting the railroad yards and
moseying around the back alleys of the
residence districts looking for a likely
looking place for handout. No more
of that, Dusty Rhodes, take notice.
Last Friday complaints were registered
at the police station that four of the
choicest specimens of the genus
American hobo were lettering near the
brick yards. Officer Herzog. received
the description of the quartette and
recognized them as the ones he had
ordered out of town the day before.

DUCKIHUNTERS IN TROUBLE.
Are Fined For Violation of State Law
and May he Prosecuted Under
Federal Laws.

Last Thursday Game Warden P. J
Karpen hailed three young hunters of Ii
Sueur into justice court on the charge Of
having violated the state game laws by
shooting ducks out of season. When ar
rested the men bad four ducks in their
possession, said to have been shot on the
Minnesota river near Ottawa. Each
paidsa fine and costs, totaling $11.5O.
Although they have succeeded in
settling the case against them in the local
courts, they are now liable to be punished
by the United States authorities, under
the national migratory game laws, which
make it a serious offense to shoot wild
game out of season.
f. 1t has been reported that several per-
sons in this vicinity have been shooting
wild game recently and it may be that
they will profit by the experience of the
three young men who were convicted last
Thursday.
The national migratory game laws not
only have stiff fine and jail sentence for
the offender who is found guilty of VIC
iating them, but the song birds are like
wise protected. Persons, especially boys
and young men, who make it practice
to shoot song birds for the sport of it,
may be facing a serious charge some day.

SUPREME. COURT TO PASS ON
ELECTION LAW.

The supreme court has set April
20 as the date for hearing arguments on
the constitutionality of the law passed
by the 1915 Legislature seeking to extend
the term OF clerks of the district court
of the state.
The case comes before the court on
the petition of J. J. Abel, resident of
Wright county for a writ of mandamus
to compel J. A. Berg, the county auditor
OF Wright county to accept his filing for
the office of clerk of the district court.
The county auditor refused on the ground
that there will be no vacancy in the office
until 1919 and no election until two years
from this fall.
The constitution provides that the
term OF the clerk of court shall be four
years, but the legislature passed a law
to the effect that there should be no clerk

NEW ULM BROWN COUNTY, MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY,, APRIL,

Stone pressed into service as handy men.
The hobos had their scouts out, however,
and when the officer and his crew arrived
upon the scene they scattered. Herzog
managed to land two of the birds and
Carl Stone a third. FREDDIE had the
time of his life trying to make his victim
change direction towards the Redstone
bridge. Mr.. Hobo lodged under, over
and through fences and other obstacles
with the agility of an acrobat, but Fred
finally forced him to take the lead in a
stern chase. Even there the hobo gave
the court house man run for his money
and had it not been for stopping to lace
up his shoes he would have gotten away.
But coming to dead stop and STOPPING
over while doing a 40 second clip had
ITS disastrous results as Fred being a
close second and coming under full
head of steam was unable to set the
brakes and-well, let Fred tell the rest
of the story.

of court elections in the state this year,
which would mean that the present clerks
are to hold over or be re-appointed for
two years more. Abel claims this law is
unconstitutional, and demands that he
be allowed to file for the office. The legis-
lature fixes the terms of all county Off
GERS except the clerk of court and Judge
of probate whose terms are fixed by the
constitution.
The new law lengthens the terms of
county officers, except the Judge of
probate, from two years to four years.
The decision will effect thirty-four
clerks of courts in the state. Clerk Man
derfeld was elected two years ago for a
four-year term, consequently does not
have to worry about the decision.

SALOON MEN CHARGE
CRIMINAL ISLANDER
ALFRED BALTRUSCH ARRESTED
UNDER RECENTLY PASSED
LIBEL LAW.
HEARING SET FOR MONDAY is
POSTPONED ON REQUEST OF
DEFENDANT.

\ The hearing in the case of the State {
Minnesota against Constable Alt. Bal
i trusch, arrested for criminal SANDER upo1
! the, complaint of Arthur Schleif Thursda,
of last week, was postponed until mex
| Monday by Justice Henningsen when tn,
case was called Monday forenoon.
Attorney Alfred W. Mueller appeared
for. the defendant and Alb. Pfaender fol
| the state. The former read an affidavit
4 made by the defendant in which it was
set forth that material witness for the
defense is out of the state at the present
time, but is expected to be home fol
Easter, when an attempt will be made to
serve subpoena. According to Mr..
Mueller, this witness will be able to
substantiate the charge that Mr.. Schleif
kept his saloon open after hours.
The case is creating considerable in
terest, not only among the saloonists but
throughout the city and should the case
be tried by jury which seems very
probable, it will be hard to find six men
who have not already made up their
minds as to the guilt or innocence of the
defendant.
The action is the aftermath of the
council meeting when the liquor licenses
were granted. Constable Baltrusch at
that time made rather serious charges
against Mr.. Schleif on account of the
manner in which he is said to have con-
Quoted his saloon on the corner of Broad
way and Second North streets, among
them the statement that the place was
open after hours whenever a dance was
held at the Union hall.
1t is not expected that the defendant
in the action will attempt to deny that he
made the charges and statements, but
will attempt to prove that the charges
were true and. consequently he was
justified in making them as an officer of
the law.
The law under which the action was
brought is a new one on the statute
books, passed by the 1915 legislature.
It reads as follows: EVERY person who
IN the presence and hearing of another,
other than the person slandered, whether
ne be present or not, shall speak of or
concerning any person, any false or de-
amatory words or Language which shall
njure or impair the reputation of such
person for virtue or chastity or which
shall expose him to hatred, contempt or
ldicule, shall be guilty of misdemeanor.
livery SANDER herein mentioned shall be
leemed malicious if no Justification there
or be shown and shall be justified when
ne language charged as slanderous, false
r defamatory was true and was spoken
Nth good motives and for justifable
nds."
A misdemeanor is punishable by i'm
risonment in the county jail of not more
IAN three months or by fine of not to
xceed $500.

! EXICAN SITUATION SINNERS
DOWN TO WAITING AGAIN
Washington, May 13.-Mexican
situation simmered down again to-
day to Watchful waiting.
While contraction OF lines south
of Columbus is practically accom-
phshed, Major LanghOrne's men ap-
parently are on hot trail after BO-
quillas raiders and Carranzista sol
diers are reading toward Big Bend,
avowedly to cooperate in running
down raiders.
If nothing UntOward occurs Amer
lean punitive expedition hopes to
make quick cleanup in policing
Carranza etaOi shrdlUu
Northern Chihuahua. Meantime
CarTanza forces are expected to
patrol Parral district. Hope of
catching Villa apparently is not
great.
The one great question of army
men is whether Carranza garTisOns
can be kept in check after it is
known punitive expedition refuses to
quit Mexico Privately, officials say
that conditions below Rio Grande are
such that there may be real trouble
at any time.
AS matters now stand, officials
charged with handling Mexican
problem cannot be said to be pessi-
mistic. They are merely keeping
watchful eye on developments, with
realization that while situation has
unpleasant possibilities, American
work may go on without any hinder
ance.
Mexican Ambassador ArredOndo is
expected to undertake soon negotia-
tiOns looking toward troops with
drawal, but his task, according to
persistent statements, will be hope
less.
