Action In Village

Action In Village
Through his attorneys, Regan & Gro
gan of Mankato, Carl Nelson has
brought suit against Marshal L. L.
Holle, and his two bondsmen, George
F. Rice and w. E. Cisney. The COM
plant, which was filed in justice court,

of Madelia by L. L. Hole and con-
fined in the city Jail. That at said
time defendant had in his possession
So in cash, a gold watch and chain,
and gold pocket knife, all of the rea-
sonable value of $75, that Hole, act
ing as village marshal, demanded that
Nelson deliver to him the money,
watch and chain and pocket knife,
and that Nelson did deliver these ar
ticles to Hole.
The complaint further states that
when Nelson was released from Gus

es to return the money and has
wrongfully converted the same to his
own use, to the damage of the plain
