CASE WAS DISMISSED
Judge Golf Decides Henry Hance
Not Guilty of Assault.

Not Guilty OF Assault.
After hearing the evidence in the
case of Louis Reichert OF Mapleton
township against\H. E. Hance Of the
FAULT in the third degree, Judge
Hirman Golf Saturday afternoon
found the defendant not guilty. In
reaching this decision, however, the
court warned the defendant that in
the future he is not to try again to
take the law in his own hands.
The case was very amusing IN
parts. Evidence brought out the fact
that the defendant tried to force
plaintiffs in their wagons and cart
them off his farm. Later Mr.. Hance,
Roosevelt fashion, but was met with
an ak handle in the hands of Her.
man Reichert.
The battle was raging about
even, when the elder Mr.. Reichert
handed the ak handle to his son tell
ing to clean ont the bunch" 1t was
alleged that after handing the ak
handle to his son Herman Reichert
grabbed a neck yoke. This was the
piece of field equipment that struck
terror into the Hance forces, and
an armistice was declared.
During the testimony Herman
Reickert admitted that he had called
Mr.. Hance and the two men in com
pay with him some vile names but
this was caused by a corn stalk
striking him in the eye, he said. The
attorney for the defense dryly re-
marked that there must have been
great many corn stalks in that
field according to the number of
names called.
County Attorney c. E. Phillips
prosecuted the case for the state and
J. w. Schmitt acted as attorney for
the defense

Testimony Of Witness In Assault
Trial the Police Court.

Testimony OF witness In Assault
Trial the Police Court.
The case Of assault in the third
degree as preferred against H. E.
Hance of Mapleton township by Louis
Rieckert of that part Of the county,
came up for trial this morning in the
municipal court before Judge Hiram
s. Golf. According to the testimony
in court this morning the trouble
arose over the husking and delivery
of corn raised on the farm of the
defendant.
Herman Reickert, when testifying
this morning, stated that the de-
PENDANT and three other men tried
to forcibly place his son, Louis in
wagon into which he was then
husking cor nand take him from
the place. Mr. Reickert said that in
the dispute which followed, H. E.
Hance welded "a three foot club
and "sicked the other men on" Lat
er in the melee the witness stated
that Mr.. Hance struck Louis Reick-
the head with the club. 1t was then
that the father thought that he would
come to his sons assistance with an
ak handle, with which he admitted
he struck one of the men who was
there with Mr.. Hance.
In the cross examination Mr.
Reickert, Sr., admitted that he used
some pretty strong language in tell
ing the men alleged to be bothering
his boy. 81 would not have used the
words I did," said Herman Reickert,
"had it not been for the fact that in
running from where l was working
in the field to the assistance of my
son a cornstalk struck me in the
eye. That cornstalk made me awful
mad" said the witness amid the
laughter of those in the court room.
H. e. Hance was found not guilty,
this afternoon. .-

TO WRECK DAM
WATER POWER PLANT ST.

Farmers Syndicate Sought Re-

Cold Springs, Mimi, January 81
County authorities are today investi-
eating the attempt to week the dam
across Sank river at this village ear
~ yesterday morning when an expio-
sion of dynamite damaged the pro-
perty to the extent Of $4,000 but
failed to blow out the dam. The wa
ter power is owned by the Rockville
Granite company and reward of ST.
900 is offered for the arrest and con-
viction of the dynamiters.
Lack of knowledge in method of
handling explosives prevented the
destruction of the DAM, 1t is esti-
mattel that two shots aggregating
one hundred and fifty pounds OF dy-
completely shattered the pennstock
house twenty by forty feet, threw the
debris over adjacent property and
awakened everybody in the town by
the terrific crash and illumination.
Long Court Litigation.
For years there has been litigation
in the Stearns county court oyer
this dam. A syndicate of farmers
sought its removal in a drainage pro-
ject to lower the water in the river
and lakes above the dam, claiming
the water overlooked their lands. The
village Of Cold Springs strenuously
fought the farmers syndicate in the
courts and prevented the removal of
the dam. The owners of the water
power were neutral in this fight and
have offered to dispose of the dam to
either side in the controversy. The
dam Is one of the oldest in the state
having been built before the govern
ment survey in 1857. In the latest
litigation now in the courts the state
game and fish commission have been
made party in interest because Of
the fact that the removal of the dam
would kill the fish in the lakes above
the dam and destroy these lakes as
summer resorts.

YOU'LL GET RID OF
 BLACKHEADS SURE

There is one simple safe and sure way. that never fails to get rid of blackheads and that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store sprinkle lit. tie on hot, wet sponge-rub over the blackheads briskly--wash the parts and you will be surprised how the bfackheads have disappeared. Big blsekheads. little black-s heads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear. leaving the parts without any mark whatever. Blackheads are simply mixture of dust and dirt and secretions from the body that form in the pores of the skin. Pinching and soueezing only cause irritation, make large pores. and do not get the blackheads out after theN become hard The calonite powder and the water simply dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out, leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition Anyone, troubled with these unsightly blem- ishes should certainly try this simple method.--Adv
