E. Lang Of st. Paul, who represent
a carnival company which exhibited
at GAINESVILLE a couple of weeks ago,
says The Austin Herald.
The issue Of The GAINESVILLE Argus
of July 25 contained the following
article, which plaintiffs claim was
written by Mrs. Finley:
LAS a resident Of GAINESVILLE l am

munity. The news that a carnival
company Is to be permitted to come
in and hold forth in the village with

tionable to the law abiding element.
Entertainment of a clean, wholesome
kind should be permitted and upheld
but the disregard for law and order
is enough for the village to cope
with at the present time without
calling in people Of questionable
character to amuse the young people
of the town and country side. JAMES,

Following the publication of the
paper, the plaintiffs claim they made
a demand for retraction, which was
refused. They then employed At
torney H. H. Sturner of this city to
bring suit for $1,000 damages each
against botk the writer and the pab-
Usher. Mrs. Dingman's husband, II
is said, owns several carnival COM
panies and his wife managed the one
which appeared in Janesville.
The case will probably come up
for trial at the October term of the
district court.

N T WELCOME HIT
Legion Meeting Denounces Actor
of the Minneannlis Cnuncilmen

Legion Meeting Denounees Action
of the Minneapolis CounciImen.
/ Faribault. MINI, August 15.-Ac-
ton of the Minneapolis city council
in extending an official welcome to
Jacob o. Bentall on his return from
Leavenworth prison was condemned
as "disgraceful" in a resolution
adopted by Minnesota Legionnaiies
IL convention here yesterday.
t The resolution was adopted after
a stirring address by Mayor Leach.
in which he attacked not only the
ever present minority" but the
Stacker majority" of the city coun-
Gil who, by their absence, made the
Bentall action possible.
And in the chorus or ayes which
bespoke the attitude of the Minneso-
Ia Legion rose the voice of Alder
man Fred A. Maurer Of the Third
ward, himself a delegate to the CON
Vention from the North Side post of
the Legion and one of the ten alder
men who voted mo" on the Bentall
motion.
The resolution follows:
Resolved, that we, the Depart
ment Of Minnesota, American Lee
gion, in convention assembled at
F~aribault, Minnesota, this fourteenth
day of August, 1928, condemn most
emphatically the disgraceful action
taken recently by the city council of
Minneapolis, who extended an official
welcome to one Bentall upon his re-
turn from the federal pe%nitentiary,
where he served a sentence for Sc
.dition and for obstructing the en-
listment in the armed forces Of the
United States in the World war, and
THAT we hold equally responsible
the members of the council present
who voted for the motion and those
who. by their absence, made the ac-
ton possible"
