INSURANCE COMPANY WINNER
IN NEW ULM CASE; WILL
BE APPEALED,

Shortly after four o'clock Wednes-
nday afternoon the jury in the case Of
Melvin A. Vogtel, ct al, executors OF
the estate of Charles Vogtel, deceased
VS.. the Equitable Life Insurance Co
of Iowa, in which the plaintiffs were
suing to recover the face of the life
insurance policy carried IN the Iowa
concern, in the sum of 100000 with
interest at six per cent from Novem-
ber 10, 1920, returned verdict in IA
vor of the insurance company.
Ten of the twelve men, comprising
the jury, returned the verdict, having
deliberated upon the case in excess
of twelve hours, which is in accor-
dance with the statutes of this state.
The two members of the jury, who
did not agree with the ten and did
not sign the verdict were VIM. Ham
mermeister Of Eden township and Roy
Gould Of North Star township. The
amount of the verdict returned is $2,-
934.76, which is the total of the first
premium paid with interest at six per
cent from November 10, 1920, the date
proofs of death were submitted to the
insurance company. This is in accor-
dance with the terms Of the policy.
1t is expected that the plaintiffs will
take an appeal to the state supreme
court. The other two cases, that of
Ida Vogtel VS.. the Aetna Life Insur-
ance Co. of Hartford, Conn.,, and Ida
Vogtel VS.. the Connecticut Life In
surance Co. of Hartford, Conn, will
be tried during the next term of court.
They aggregate suits for payment of
$180,000 faces of two policies, carried
by Mr.. Vogtel upon his life.-Brown
County Journal.

and without jurisdiction of the person
of the defendant.
"Since Fox's libel act, so far as we
are able to find, no Judge of any
court, either of a court of record or
court Of limited jurisdiction ever
heard or determined an action for
criminal libel. From the various pro-
visions found in our statutes it is a
fair inference that prosecutions for
criminal libel should be instituted by
Indictment found by grand jury. See
Secs. $3.50 and 92O5, G. S.. 1918. Be
that as it may the law expressly pro-
vides that the jury shall try and de-
termine both law and facts in an ac-
tion for criminal libel. G.. S. 1913
Secs. 1854 and 92O5.
"Under section 1920, G. S. 1918,
Justices have power to hold court
subject to the provisions hereinafter
contained, to hear, try and determine
all charges for offenses arising with
in their respective counties, where the
punishment prescribed by law does not
exceed a fine of 500 or Imprisonment
;; for three months The phrase sub
ject to provisions hereinto contained,
referred undoubtedly to cases brought
under the statute defining criminal
libel, where the jury must try and de-
termine the issues in the case, both OF
law and of fact, and perhaps other
cases which no Judge is authorized to
try and in which no Judge alone can
make any valid decision. But in such
cases as are subject to the general
provisions of Sec. 1920, justice may
on a plea of not guilty proceed, where
a jury is waived, to hear and deter
mine the case himself. In this case
had he proceeded to a trial by jury in
the ordinary way, a conviction should
perhaps have been sustained, but
clearly under such proceedings as were
had in the justice court, any jurisdic-
ton that the justice obtained at the in.
ception Of the case was through the
peculiar course Of the trial lost.
| Under these views the motion te
dismiss this action must be granted. ;

Hearing Postponed.

Because of strong opposition to
County Ditch 81, better known as
the Sleepy Eye Greek Ditch, the hear
ing which was set for Tuesday morn
ing was postponed by the Board OF
County Commissioners for six months.
A large number of persons interested
in the ditch gathered Tuesday for the
hearing, and the majority of them
were gratifed at the postponement.
The Commissioners are still in session,
having several important matters up
for consideration.

THAT the immigrants who struck were
chiefly those who have their families
here and expect to remain in America.
Other immigrants wanted chiefly to
pile up money to 90 back to their
families in their native lands.
The true story of the interview OF
the commission with Judge Gary for
the informal presentation Of plan
looking to mediation III the strike is
given out in the shape Of the commits
,sion's records made at the commits
ters to and from Judge Gary are cited
A chapter also details the history Of
the commissions efforts to obtain
government action on the steel re-
ports recommendations and Indicates
that a widespread popular support for
the recommendations has been largely
thwarted so far as visible reforms in
the industry are. concerned.
Next weeks article will deal with
that part of the supplementary report
relating to Pittsburgh newspapers
and failure Of the press generally
throughout the country to acquaint
their readers with. facts in the steel
strike. This failure Of the press to
do it's duty was one Of the primary
causes leading to the investigation
made by the Interchurch World
Movement.

T|MET0 STUDY
Land PROBLEMS
Less Than Half National Area in
Farms and Only 0ne-Quarter
Is Improved Land.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace has announced
the appointment Of five scientists Of
the department of agriculture to study
the problem of land utilization, espec-
tally with respect to the country's fu-
ture requirements.
At the present time, it is stated, a
little less than half the total nation-
al area is in farms. and only one
quarter Of the total. area is improved
land. ~ContI livery sselief that there
is an unlimft on the hhpply of-farm
land in thi| and Stripes for ,atated' that
by far he'greater part of the 1,ooo,-
100000 acres not yet in farms pro-
baby never can be used for crops and
that part of the reserve land which
may be regarded as potential farm
land can be brought into use only at
heavy expense for clearing. drainage;
irrigation of fertilization.
The acreage of improved farm land
per capita has declined since 1890.
BY 1850 the total population, at a nor
NAL rate of growth, probably will be
about 150,000,000. This would re-
quire an addition of 243,0OO,OOO acres
Of improved land if the present per
capita acreage if improved land is to
be maintained.
Despite the impending demand for
an expansion of land for farm pur-
poses,' that agricultural department
questions the advisability Of encourag-
ing this expansion for at least three
years. The reasons given Is the
