CARD OF JUDGE HUGHES
He Makes Statement Relative To His
Decision In Eberhart Child
Case.

To The Free Press: I do not be-
lieve in discussing decisions Of court
in public print, but in view of the vi
cious attack made upon me for my
decision in the Eberhart divorce case
respecting the custody of the child
and Misrepresentation having been
circulated as to the nature of the de-
cision, wish to make this brief
statement of what the decision was.
Mrs. Eberhart had in her posses
sion the child and Mr. Eberhart came
to her one day about the first of May
of this year and asked permission to
show the child a little pump cart
that he had bought for him. Mrs.
Eberhart gave her consent for him to
show the pump cart to the child in
took the child, but in place of show
ing him the pump cart, he ran OFF
with him, in spite of the efforts of
Mrs. Eberhart to stop him.
My decision was that he could not
retain the child, secured by deceit
and force, but must return 1t to Mrs.
Eberhart and If he thought he was
entitled to the child, he should make
application in lawful way to either
Judge COmstock or to the supreme
court to have the child delivered tt
him. But that the law could not per-
nit him to retain the child secured
by deceit and force.
/ might add that in a day or two
afterwards, prominent attorney
came into my Office and said he fully
agreed with my decision and for the
reasons given by me- That if the
courts allowed force and not law to
prevail, then we might as well say
that we have no government
That I reversed any decision q
Judge Comstock is absolutely false

BEGINS THE BUSY SEASON
CANNING PLANT AT LIE
SUEUP IS AT WORK
Early Peas Being Handled; 100
Per Cent Crop to Be
Gathered
From Fridays Daily.

Especial to The Free Press.1
lie Sueur, Mimi, June 25.-The
Minnesota Valley Canning company
which conducts at LIE Sueur the lar
gest pea cannery in state, began the
busy season this week after packing
half days for six days previous. A
tine new building has been erected
tor the pea machinery which adds
both TO the appearance and efficiency
OF the cannery. The capacity OF the
cannery has also been doubled, no.
900 cans are now being packed per
day. Before the close Of the pea sea-
SON the pack is expected to exceed
two million cans.
Some Changes Made.
Some changes at the cannery this
season are the location of the inspec-
tion room on the second floor, an in
xfvv emsnt in sanitation and working
conditions for the women employed in
that task, and the use of small cans
as well as those of ordinary size. A
small can holds little over half the
amount contained in the larger can,
or just enough for a small family.
Re- arrangements have been made
which do away entirely with the
handling Of the peas after they are
received 1t the cannery, lessen the
labor required and eliminate waste,
affording a saving of IL per cent in
the amount of peas necessary for
filing the same number of Cans.
The new factory superintendent is
George Winter, local man, who has
been promoted to his present position
this season and is filling the position
with great efficiency.
Early Peaas Being Canned.
Early peas are being canned at
present and are proving to be about
80 per cent Of crop, while indica-
tiors are that 100 per cent crop
will be harvested of late sweet peas
The pea acreage for the cannery this
year Is sos acres, an increase of 275
acres over that of last year. One of
the good qualities about the Mime
sofa Valley Canning company's out
put is that the peas are canned in
brine made Of the pure artesian wa
ter for which LIE Sueur is famous.

INSANE MAN ROBS STORE.
Tapped Till of Business Place al
Palmer, MINI.


Especial to Free Press
Waterville, June 29.-Last Friday
morning a barefooted man OF unsound
mind, thought to be from the st. Pet
er hospital, or from the Faribault
school for weak minded, rified the
till in the store at Palmer, Mimi, a
small station between Waterville and
Waseca. A posse of farmers round
ed him up near GAINESVILLE, and took
the stolen money from him, but as
they couldn't get a word out Of him
they turned him loose. This same
fellow came into Waterville Thurs
day evening barefoot with his shoes
slung across his shoulder. When
asked If his feet were getting Bills
tered he turned and ran.
No more dust at Waterville as the
city has just completed re- oiling the
streets.
August Bokleman and wife mar
rowly averted bad smashup Thurs
day when they were crashed into by
a freight engine on a Minneapolis
and st. Louis railroad crossing. The
engine struck the auto amidships,
lifted it up and dropped it in the
clear. Barring a badly frightened
couple and a much denied car, no
damage was done.
Waterville will have a big celebra-
ton on Monday, July 5.
Waterville met Madison Lake on
the latter's diamond Sunday with a
score of seven to nothing in favor Of
WaterVille.

San Francisco, June 25.-First guns

temporary roll of delegates. Three
