TWO HARBOKS, MINN.Charles W. Stark is preparing to contest the election of Charles Floathe as register of deeds of Lake county. BtarU was the primary nominee of the republican party, having had no opposition. Flothe, the present incumbent, ran independently, defeating Murk by a majority of over two to one. Th petition of Floathe was largely signed by electors who had voted at the primaries, which, under the law. Invalidates his nominating petition. The validity of this law will determine the contest. Mr. Floathe contends that it is uncon stitutional because it abrogates privileges. A body of another unknown man was found In the woods about two miles south of Tower. It is thougrt that the body had lain there a year or more. In an endeavor to cure herself from the rav ages of consumption with which she is afflicted, Mrs. 3. A.

D., Dec. 8.The strenuous campaign of 1900 in South Dakota, when former Senator R. F. Pettigrew made the fight.of his political life, but met his Waterloo, is recalled by a verdict of a Jury in the state circuit court i heard in the district court before Judge Blah In this city, awarding the plaintiff judgment for $1,050 iu the case of the Central Banking Trust company vs. John Pusey and others. After the campaign of 1900, in which Mr. Pettigrew was the fusion candidate for re-elec tion to tho United Stntes senate, ex-Governor Andrew B. Lee, the candidate of the same organi zation for congress, and ex-Mayor B. H. Lien of this city, the fusion nominee for governor, the committee of which John Pusey 61 Miller was chairman, overdrew its account to the ex tent of $3,500. To secure the bank a note.,was given.. This was signed by B. F. Pettigrew, T. H. Ayers, John A. Bowler, S. V. Boss, John Pusey, B. H. Lien and others. The Judgment just awarded by the jury stands against all of the signers of the note except ex Senator Pettigrew, who secured his release from further liability by the payment of $1,000 of the $3,500 called for by the original note. Blamed for Shooting White. "The said Robert White came to his death by a shot fired from a revolver had and held by Hogan, a guard of the said state penitentiary. That the said Frank Hogan, acted under a command and instruction given by J. N. Cooley, deputy warden of the penitentiary. We, the jury, also find that the shooting and killing of Robert White in the manner and by the means aforesaid, should and could have been avoided." Tho above is the material part of the verdict returned by a coroner's jury which was "sum moned to Investigate the death of Robert White, a prisoner in the penitentiary, who died from a pistol wound which was Inflicted while he was making a murderous assault on Deputy Warden Cooley. It is also recommended by the coroner's Jury that the grand Jury "Investigate into this mat ter forthwith." Deputy Warden Cooley has the reputation of being one of the best and most conscientious men ever connected with the state penitentiary in an official capacity, and there is not the slightest grounds for believing that the grand jury will return an indictment against him. Most Desperate of Prisoners. E. T. Cook, street commissioner of Sioux Falls, was formerly a guard at the penitentiary, and has a vivid recollection of White. He said: "It was over White that I lost my position as guard at the penitentiary. He had caused trouble to every man who had anything to do with him. I refused to take him out in my squad unless provided with extra precautions. TheBe were not forthcoming, and I was let out. I think the penitentiary officials have become convinced that I was right. I told them that White was the most desperate man in the institution. In fact, he was simply a demon. He did not care for anything. While I was connected with the in stitution he made more trouble than all the other prisoners put together. The end has been as I expected. I had always thought that White would kill some one or be killed himself." White, owing to his extremely ugly disposition, which led him on frequent occasions to create a reign of terror among the other inmates of the prison, as well as among the guards, would prob ably have met his fate long before he did had he been an inmate of other prisons. He was entire ly untamable. No other prisoner in the Insti tution caused so much trouble as he. He had been notified repeatedly that the guards would tako no chances with him, and that if he attempted any further assaults be would be shot. White's death was in part the result of an ac cident. He was shot in the thigh for the pur- (.Dose.nf ,.wotun(14ng..lvmtl})U^,.as mjgh.t,not *gain lira thousand' case's .where men..awe shot The friends of Deputy Warden Cooloy are confident that he will be fully exonerated.

In 1903 George Hardwlck, at the lnstanec of his father, began divorce proceedings, but when It was found that the case would be fought it was dropped. In February of this year Geoige left the county without making provision for the support of the plaintiff. He gave up the lease of the farm, leaving her without a home. She was tU and for a time lived alone In a farm house without medical attendance.

Mrs. Hardwlck is in feeble health because of her troubles, she says. Mrs. Hardwlck tells of indignities heaped upon her by her father-in-law from the time she was married.
