Judge William Stradtmann In the
municipal court this morning dis
missed the action against Attorney
Julius II. Jensen, who had been
charged in a warrant sworn to by
DR.. w. T. DeCoster with grand lar
ceny. This dlsmIssai upon the mo
ton of C.. J. Laurisch attorney for
the defendant, who asked for the
dismissal of the case upon the
grounds that there was no evidence
to support the charges preferred in
the complaint, and there was total
lack of evidence to the effect that
the defendant had ever converted
any of the funds entrusted to him
for collection. ~,
This action is the outgrowth of
transactions involving the collec-
ton Of bill Of S425 against the
estate of the late Hugo Zellmer Of
LIE Sueur county, which had been
given to Mr.. Jensen for collection
in the probate court of lie Sueur
county by DR.. w. T. DeCoster.

the following statement:

planning witness has since learned
that the hearing of the final ac-
count In the said estate of Hugo
Zellmer, deceased was not set for
hearing until the 14th day of Aug
ust, 1923 and there was no final
signatures and accounting by the
heirs until September Is, 1923.
Complainant believed when he
swoEe out the warrant that the said
estate of Hugo Zellmer, deceased
was entirely settled.
II am also authorized to say for
Johnson Boman company OF this
city that they have been mistaken
In regard to their transaction with
the defendant and are anxious that
the above entitled action against
the defendant be dismissed"
Evidence to support the conten-
tion of Mr. Daily as to the final set
tlement of the estate Of Mr.. Zellmer

istrator of the estate Of Hugo Zell-

shelIed eggs and have yellow skins.
In size most OF these breeds are in :
termediate between the smaller egg
breeds, such as the Leghorns, and
the larger meat breeds such as the
Brahmas. The Jersey Black Giants.
however, are about as large as the
meat breeds. Most of these Ameri-
can breeds are less active than the

more active than the heavy kinds
and are good foragers. The Chante-

the Standard, Is we'll adapted to ex-

ing child to an autoiobile, which had
been left with the engine running,
and made away at high speed. Mr..
Dunlap gave chase, but was unable
to catch the car. The telephone
wires were found to be cut when
irs. Dunlap attempted to call for
help.
The mother of the child died
shortly after its birth, and the
grandparents had been appointed
legal guardians, and were giving the
child good home, and she was be-
ing tenderly cared for. f.....
The whereabouts of the child is
known, and will no doubt be re-
turned to Mr.. and Mrs. Dunlap with

this worthy family can not be ex-
pressed. The deed has been a shock
to the entire community, and relief
will come only with the return Of
the child unharmed.
