MoBBISTS FACE SUITS
IN ROCK COUNTY AFFAIR

Fred Meints, the LuYerne Publishing
company and A. G. Finke are the plain
tiffs in three actions just filed in
United States district court as the OUT
growth Of mob rule i'll Minnesota. Ag
gegate damages Of $3.50, 900 are asked.
Some of the defendants are the same in
all three actions.
The Meints action is the outgroWth
Of the recent suit filed by John Meints
against some of the same defendants.
The complaint alleges that the defend
ants, organized into a mob, visited the
farm of Fred Meints, on which the
claimants father, John, was staying.
It sets forth that the alleged mpbbists
Soverpowered Fred and his wife, after
invading their home, and forcefully
took John from the farm, coating him
with tar and feathers. Damages are
claimed because Of trespass on the farm,
and because Of injury to the health of
Mrs. Fred Meints, as a result of the
alleged lawlessness.
Wrecking ofthe Rock County Leader
is the basis for the action of the L,l-,
verne Publishing company against some
Of the same defendants The Leader
was owned by farmers, organized I'M
der the corporate name Of the Luverne
Publishing company. The editor Of the
paper, w. w. Latta, the complaint re-
cites, was forcibly elected from the
town and the newspaper was suppressed.
That the farmer owners were intimi-
dated and terrorized to prevent their re-
organizing their plant, is further al
legged. :.
A. G. Finke, formerly banker at
: Hills i'll Rock county, is the complainant
in the third action. He says that he
was forced to sign a statement which
made it appear that he lacked sympathy
with the war. This statement, he says,
was forced from him and did not rep
resent his sentiments. He says THAT as
a result of the statement, he lost pres
tige and business in his community and
was finally forced to sell his banking
business at a loss.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR

Last week the ease against Mrs.

called for trial at Mankato before Judge
Comstock. After the state had rested
and sixteen witnesses for the defense
had testified, the attorneys for. Mrs.
Smith suggested that the testimony be
taken at her room, because she was
physically unable to attend court. The
County Attorney objected to taking the
jury and tie Court to the defendant s
room, although the Judge was willing
that this be done.
Then the unexpected happened The
county attorney moved that the indict-
ments against Mrs. Smith be dismissed
and the motion was granted by the
i Court. In consenting to the dismissal
of the indictments against Mrs. Smith,
Judge Comstock said that it seemed
/: very clear to the Court, that upon the
record as it appeared in the case, that
no verdict could be rendered against
the defendant, which would be sustained
by any court and that he was for that
reason inclined to approve of the mo
ton of the County Attorney that the i'll
dictment be dismissed.
