Land Case Is
Set for Re-TriaI
PAYMENT OF $4,000 FARM
MORTGAGE INVOLVED IN HIGH
LY INTERESTING IGATION.

The apparent curiosity of a juror,
which prompted him to disobey an
order of the court forbidding the
jury to go out and look at farm
which was in litigation, has resulted
in Judge I. M. Olson ordering a new
trial of the case involving settlement
of a $4,000 farm mortgage in Red
wood county, in which the Straus
Brothers Co. is plaintiff and VIM. F.
Bruell and others are defendants.
The Redwood county jury was re-
called on July Z, last, by the court to
try the case. The Straus Brothers Co.
at one time did an extensive land bus
mess in.Redwood and adjoining coun-
ties, and brought in many Illinois and
Indiana landseekers. In 1918, it ap-
pears, the company sold to Mr.. Bruell
a farm of 800 acres of land, situated
near Clements, Redwood county, for
$4,000. The defendant paid $4,000
down and gave back mortgage on
the farm for $4,000, which also COW
cred an interest in an estate that Mr..
Bruell had in Illinois.
The present suit was instituted by
the company to foreclose the mortgage
that they had against the Minnesota
land. Mr.. Bruell, in the suit, claim
ed he was defrauded in the transaction
and that the land sold to him at $125
per acre was not worth to exceed $50
per acre.
The trial lasted five days and the
jury returned a verdict in favor of
the company, whereupon Mr.. Bruell
made motion for new trial, which
was argued before Judge Olsen here
on Wednesday of last week. The
court, Saturday, handed down his de-
cision granting a new trial to the
defendant, and the case will undoubt-
edly be retired at Redwood Falls
during the October term of court
The plaintiffs made a motion that
the jury be permitted to go out and
look at the farm, but the defendants
claimed that the conditions were so
different now, than when the farm
was purchased, that the motion should
be denied, which the court did. 1t
appears, however, that one of the
jurors during the trial did go out
and look at the farm. For this rea-
son the court granted new trial.
In connection with his order, set
ting aside the jury's verdict and
granting a new trial of the case,
Judge Olsen filed the following men,
orandufn, which emphasizes the strict
compliance to the courts orders given
trial juries:

Health Officials Pro-
tect Visitors to Fairs

For the utmost protection of the
thousands that have been attracted
to fairs, expositions and cattle shows,
State, county and town health officials
have been unusually .vigilant this sea-
son in guarding against disease in
fections. It has been recognized that
illnesses that play havoc during the
late Fall and Winter often gain
ground through the carelessness Of
the dispensers of sodas and other
beverages at these gatherings. Pub
lie officials have acted with strictness
to prevent infections from common
cups and glasses.
During the recent New York State
Fair held at Syracuse, DIR. F. w.
Sears, district sanitary superinten-
dent, instituted rigorous supervi-
sion at the various concessions.
Common glasses, improperly washed
between users he says, are respon-
sible to large degree for the trans
mission of tuberculosis, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever, diphtheria, tonsilitis,
pneumonia, influenza, grippe, measles,
common colds and infantile paralysis.
Because of an outbreak of infantile
paralysis in Syracuse, DIR. Sears sup
piled all concessionaries with copies
of the regulations that prohibit the
use of cups that are not carefully
steriliZed after each user. Also, he
appointed force of inspectors to see
that the law was obeyed.
Other cities and towns throughout
the country have taken similar pre-
cautions so that visitors to the fairs
would not carry home with them in
fections that might spread disease in
their communities.

'IIoneysuckle,' a pleasant excuse to
present these two interesting person
alities. They are assisted by Miss
Leila Hyams and Teddy Powell. This
act possesses sweet and lingering
charm.
Shaw and Lee are eccentric dancers
with a stilted line of comedy. They
know how to do an eccentric dance.

bowls for more. Why say more. Miss

SNAPPY BURLESUE REVUE

If the second part of IAN Aboard"
held up the splendid start made in
the first part, would not hesitate in
saying that this burlesque show is

The last part Of the second half is
spotty, resembles a variety program
more than a regulation burlesque
show. There is one scene, speaking
of an idiotc number, which might
be called a rehearsal in love which
is just silly slap-stick comedy. I can
see no fun in the announcement OF
burlesque comedian to "wrestle"
with a woman. II this senseless scene
was out "AIl Aboard" would be the
best burlesque show built on revue
lines yet seen at the Capitol.

what can and should be done in a

one of the family outing scene in the

SOME PLEASANT THOUGHTS OF
MUSICAL COMEDY AT KEITHS

One recalls the good old.days on the
legitimate stage when musical comedy
and songs counted for something.
In John Hyams and Leila Mcintyre
we recall The Girl Of My Dreams, -
one OF those sweet little things OF the
musical comedy stage which Is pleas
ant to recall.
In Olga Cook we have a talented
singer who at one time was member
OF one OF 1.-The Blossom Time" com
panies. At Keiths this week. Miss
Cook sings Song of Love" from the
famous blossom Time" score. She
has a splendid voice and is an In
dividual hit. She wears some mar
velous gowns. Eric Zardo Is at the
piano during her act. A splendid
musical combination. A real treat.
Hyams with his own mannerisms

JOE THOMAS AND PLAYERS

SO people may hate the instrument
