Loses in
Famous Hog Case
COURT RULES THAT FARMER
MAY NOT RECOVER ON
LOSS OF $4,000 ANIMAL.

Last week the Gazette published
a short story citing trial in the
District Court at Glencoe, said trial
being instituted by Hubert Pinske OF
Arlington, who sued to regain $19,-
600 he claimed to have lost by the
death of a hog. The case took just
one week in the court and the Hutch
inson Leader of this week writes the
final chapter to the story as follows
"The $4,000 hog is still a $4,000
hog, so far as the jury in the ''hog
case is concerned, a case which at
tracted the attention of several coun-
ties and was one of the longest or
record, having covered a period from
Tuesday, Nov. 21, to Tuesday, Nov
%, the verdict having been brought
in about $3.50 o'clock p. m.
'In April, 1920, Hubert Pinske OF
Arlington bought of Dammanr
Brothers, Duroc Jersey breeders o.
Plato, the $4,000 hog, which was
then four years old, and had been or
the Dammann farm since 1917. The
purchase price was paid at that time
In November of that year the hog
died, and Pinske sued for $19, 900
claiming the hog was worth but
$1,000 when sold to him; that it was
diseased at the time of sale.
''The jury found for the defend
ants, that is, that the hog was sount
at the time of sale. The jury wen
out at 8 a. m. Tuesday, and came II
at 2:30 p. m"

Insurance Lost
TO WinOna College
LEGISLATURE FAILED TO PRO.
VIDE FUND TO REPLACE
BUILDING DESTROYED.

Failure of the 1919 and 1921 legis-
latures, both dominated largely by
insurance lobbies, to appropriate
money for the state insurance fund
created by the state in 1913, crippled
the fund so that there is no money
left with which to replace the
Winona State Teachers College de-
stroyed early Sunday morning with
a loss of $500, 900. The Mankato
Normal school fire this spring ex-
hausted the $4,000 which remained
in the state insurance fund, and
the Winona college will be compelled
to operate on emergency funds all
lowed by the state board of relief
until the. legislature takes action, G..
J. Swendsen of the state board of
control announced the first part of
the week.
The fire at Winona destroyed the
main college building and damaged
the roofs Of the library building
and heating plant. Either a leak in
gas pipe or ignition Of dust in
ventilating tubes is believed to have
been the cause. i
Replacement of the institution on
a permanent basis is up-to the legis-
lature, in view of the present situa-
ton, according to Mr. Swendsen. If
the, 1919 and 1921 legislatures had
made the appropriations into the
state insurance fund, as contemplat-
ed at the time the state followed
the lead of several railroads and
large industries by deciding to carry
it's own insurance, there would be
sufficient money in the treasury to
rebuild the Winona college, it was
pointed out. Although the appro-
priations for the state insurance
fund were to be no larger than the
sums formerly paid as premiums to
private insurance corporations, the
last two legislatures failed to take
the necessary action to protect the
states buildings.
The 1918 legislature prohibited any
state institution from carrying in
surance in any private company,
and appropriated $125,000 to be turn
ed into a state insurance fund. This
is approximately the amount the
state paid in premiums each year.
In 1915 the Legislature appropriated
another $125,000 for this fund, and
in 1917 an appropriation of $140,00O
was made.
Provisions have been made for the
resumption of classes in several build
ings about tsls~ity, including churches,
the Masonic temple and the postoffce.

Spend Sixty-Seven
Years Together

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Cowell, OF
the article reprinted here from the
December 9Th issue of the Northfieli
News, are the. grandparents of
Warren G. Brant of the Redwood Ga
zette force.
"Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cowell, who
recently celebrated their sixty-seventh
wedding anniversary, were among the
earliest settlers of this vicinity.
I'm the spring of 1856, one year
after their marriage they came to
Dakota county. They settled at Club
Creek in Waterford where Mr.. CoweH
and his brother built log cabin. The
next spring he helped build school
house on a little creek east Of Carrie
ton college, Mortified, in little val
lev. He also helped build the first
store in Mortified and hauled the
lumber by OK team from Hastings.
There were no railroads in the eoun-
try then and it was necessary to haul
groceries and other supplies by OK
team from Hastings.
"Mr. Cowell served in the Civil war,
where he endured the hardships of a
southern prison camp, and later was
wounded in Indian engagements in
Minnesota In the meantime, Mrs.
Cowell managed the little farm near
Waterford.
Later Mr.. and Mrs. Cowell bought
eighty acres near Castle Rock, adding
another eighty some years later. For
forty years they lived on this farm,
then moving to Northfeld Recently
they moved to Castle Rock to live with
their daughter, Mrs. O. D. Shumway.
>"Nine children were born to them,
four Of them are living. Those living
are: Mrs. VIM Brant of Renville,
William Cowell Of Pennington, Mrs.
o. d. Shumway and Lawrence Cowe1
of Castle Rock
"Mr. Cowell is eighty mine years old

County Nurse
Makes Report
LAST THREE MONTHS HAVE
BEEN BUSY ONES; MUCH.
GOOD WORK DONE.

Miss. Emma Ohlendorf, Redwood
County's School Nurse, has completed
her third month of work since the
opening of schools in September and
her report shows much accomplished
for the cause of better health among
the children of the County. The most
discouraging element Miss Ohlendorf
has found in her work is that so many
parents fail to have the suggested
corrections made. Pupils are still, in
very many cases, found to be suffering
from the same troubles of which a re-
port was made last year. The County
Nurse can only make exapinations
and suggest corrections the parents
part is to take the child to the family
physician and see that such corrections
are attended to. As will be found
from the following report, the number
of corrections already made is out of
all proportion to the number of trouble
found The report gives the totals of
