CASE IS TRANSFERRED
$40, 900 Action Will Be Tried In II
United States Court

$4,000 Action Will Be Tried In the
United States Court
Granting the petition or the attor-
ney for the defendant company,
Judge l.. S. Nelson has filed an or
der in district court at Luverne,
permitting the transfer Of the action
of Stell S. Smith Of Minneapolis
against the Chicago. Rock Island
and Pacific Railway company, from
the Rock county district court TO
the United States federal court at
Mankato.
In this action Mr.. Smith, who Is
Worthington, and practicing attor-
ney, seeks to recover 10000 as
damages from the Rock Island COM
pany as a result of a freight train
striking an automobile in which he
was riding on April Is at the north
crossing in the village of Hardwick
The engine struck the rear part OF
the automobile cutting 1t in two JUST
behind the front seat, and Mr.. Smith
and the car were thrown to the side
of the road. Mr.. Smith was severely
bruised by the impact but no bones
were broken. and he has since fully
recovered from his injuries. The au-
tomobile, which was 1921 model
Dixie Flyer, owned by G. e. Gustaf-
son. Luverne, was considered a to .
tai loss.
1t is understood that the attor-
neys for the defendant company felt
that Mr.. Smith was to well known
in Rock county to make 1t advantag-
eous to have the case tried here, In
view of the fact that railway COM
panies do not ordinarily get great
deal of sympathy in the role of de-
PENDANT, and that therefore 1t would
be much better to have the case
heard in federal court

Rock County Citizens
Were Before Morse
Couple Charged With Violating
Federal Liquor Laws Bound
Over To Court.

Two Rock county farmers, Otto
Buehring. and Richard Wiese, were
arraigned this morning before Unit
ed States Commissioner Frank E.
Morse for a preliminary hearing
on charges of violating the federal
liquor laws. Wiese pleaded not
guilty, waived examination and was
released on $3.50 bond to appear be-
fore the United States court here
on October "a when he will be tried.
Buehring entered a plea OF guilty
and was bound over to appear be-
fore Judge Wilbur F. Booth as soon
as the court can arrange to hear
his plea there. Buehring was charg-
ed with possession of a still and
other equipment for the purpose of
unlawful manufacture Of intoxicat.
ing LIQUOR and Wiese was charged
with unlawful sale of the same com
modify.
According to dispatches from Lu-
verne, each of these men made the
mistake of selling some Of their
"moonshine" to federal enforce
ment agents and at that time, three
weeks ago, were placed under ar
rest but were not jailed. Later they
were called in and brought to the
Blue Earth county Jail after short
stay in the Rock county bastile.
It is said that this is the second
time that Wiese had been arrested
for liquor violations but that in the
previous instance he was not con-
victed when he testified that the
barrel of mash found on his place
was a connection made for the pur-
pose of treating some hog disease.
According TO reports from Lu-
verne, Buehring has been residing
on a farm neal there although he
has not cultivated the land and it
is further said that for some time
he has had difficulty in providing
himself and family with the neces-
sites of life.

said, 81 would instruct the city
engineer to take crew of men and

resist any interference. You will
see how quickly the railroad will &C
cede to the city's demands. If the
city tears UP the tracks. without

the defensive, but If you take the
matter up with them further, they
will likely get out an injunction
against the city to restrain 1t from

it will drag through the courts for

The matter. after considerable
