the little bride looked through the

when the Fijian warrior was a dread

STATE ELKS COMING

Manitowoc has been given the state
convention of the order of Elks for the
year 1919 and the convention will
probably be held June 26, q and 2S,
surely before July /. The local lodge
was state host about eight years ago
and made big success of it. The time
is rather short but the local lodge will
get busy at once and try to live up to
its reputation. The state organization
is an unofficial body and the conven-
tion is almost purely a social affair. 1t
has no powers or duties and little
business of any consequence The Off
cial bodies are the local lodges and
the grand lodge.

BEHHKl -KROlNING CAGE DECIDED

By decision of Judge Kirwan filed in
Circuit court on Monday of this week,
the action brought by Albert Behnke
of Brillion to foreclose a real estate
mortgage on the land of Reinhard
Kroening of the town of Maple Grove
in this county, was dismissed.
The action was brought to fore
close a mortgage given by Kroening
to C. w. Behnke in 1908, Behnke being
at that time president of the bank of
Brillion and being a brother-in-law of
Kroening. Albert Behnke, the present
owner of the mortgage is also
brother-in-law of Kroening. The evil
dence disclosed that the mortgage was
given by Kroening in order to place
lien upon his property which might
be prior to a judgment which was then
sought to be recovered against him in
an action for damages then pending
against him for the death of Gottfried
Kruger. In that case it was charged
that a horse being driven by Kruger
had been frightened by Kroening's dog
on the public highway near Reedsville
and had run away, throwing Kruger
from the buggy and injuring him in
such manner that he died shortly aft
er In order to forestall any judgment
that might be recovered in this action,
Kroening shortly after it was COM
menced, gave the mortgage in ques-
tion to C. w, Behnke and at the same
time, gave two other mortgages, one
for $4,000 on his personal property, to
Albert Behnke, the present owner of
the mortgage in question here. Later,
the $4,000 mortgage and the $4,000
chattel mortgages were returned after
Kroenlng had won his damage suit both
in the circuit and in the supreme
courts. The mortgage in question:
however, had been assigned by G. w
Behnke to the bank of Brillion and by
the bank had been assigned to Albert
Behnke the plaintiff, and the evidence
showed that interest had been paid on
this mortgage at least from 1909 to
and including 1917.
The court found that the mortgage
was given without consideration and
that Albert Behnke the plaintiff, knew
of the transactions surrounding the
giving of it and that he was not in
a situation which would entitled him
to recover upon it.
The trial was an interesting one in
that it brought up considerable of the
history of the bank with which G. W..
Behnke was connected and other
transactions in which the Behnkes
we're interested c. w. Behnke and
his son Oscar were promoters OF the
Street Railway company which it was
hoped at one time would be built from
Sheboygan to Appleton.
e. S. Schmitz represented the plaint-
iff Albert Behnke in the matter, and
Hougen & Brady appeared for Kroen-
ing.

Mr.. j. d. Markham, at Washington,
stating that an appropriation of $751;

passed one house, and that the pros
poets were favorable for its getting
through the senate. Should this be the
case, work will at once be resumed on
our harbor, and the tug Kitty Smoke
will not go to Chicago, as contemplat-
ed by Mr.. Smoke, but will remain here

Quite a legal complication has
arisen between Justice White of this
city and Justice McCarty of Kossuth.
Mr.. McCarty sentenced the boy, Her
old, to the county Jail for one day for
illegal fishing. The boy was allowed
to go home on parol, promising to
meet the constable in Manitowoc and
serve out his sentence. He did not
leave home sufficiently early and the
game warden arrested him and he was
brought before White and again SEN
fenced. McCarty was cited to appear
before White but did not appear in
season and he was fined the fees of
the officer who served the papers.
There will be an appeal to the circuit
