District Court Holds That John Tierney Has a Majority of Forty-Six. judge Pond and his associate who heard the arguments in the Anoka county .shrievalty contest have filed their-deeisibns declaring John Tierney to Have te$h legally.elected. The first official count gave Tierney, the Demo cratic candidate, a majority of six, which was duly certified to him. On a recount demanded by the Republicans, George WC^Merrill, the Republican candidate, was given a majority of two votes.,^The final decision is that-Tier uey was elected by a-majority,of forty six of the legal votes of the county. Minneapolis Journal. THE 8 SOn.. .$15,915.39 A NICE PLUM. -Efel^ty Sheriff Newton and Os King Were *&$&&- Wedhesday afternoon the'- man-* agement of the State reformatory at St. Cloud wired to Sheriff Claggett that a couple of runaway prisoners were headed toward this county. The sheriff was absent and the message was delivered to Owen Newton, his deputy^ who with OsKing, started immediately for Foreston. They put up their team on arriving at the village and^ planned to watch there for the prisoners. Shortly after their arrival they discov ered two men coming along the rail road and decided to meet them. When the pedestrians saw the officers they left the track and to throw them off their guard Newton and King turned off in the opposite direction, but hid themselves in the bushes and watched. Soon the suspects reappeared and When they approached the hiding place of the pursuers found themselves covered by guns and ordered to throw uj) their hands. They made no fight and the following day were returned, to St. Cloud. ._- Messrs. Newton and King will re ceive $100 for their ride and the trouble of making the arrests. It is Supt. Randall's belief that the men deserted their posts out of pure homesickness on the part -of Feriholt. He is much the younger man of the two, and like Larson is a native of \Freeborn county" and has never been away from home before. He longed for home and its companionships and it is presumed urged Larson toxnit and run with him. Larson made a^acrifice indeed for his friend, for he had been in the institution a matter of a year, and was regarded as a trusty and. reli able man and his parole and final dis charge were events not so far in the distance. He had several times been in St. Cloud with a reformatory team wholly unaccompanied by a ^uard or other person and it is believed he yielded to the "con" talk of his fellow townsman in a moment of weakness. The^fact that the man Sullivan had successfully evaded capture is also be lieved to have influenced the men in asking the break. An evidence of ^Efeir forethought as to their future course of action in effecting an escape was found in the fac that -they took the trace chains and tugs off the team's harness, it is presumed for the pur pose of tying themselves to the tops of passenger trains in' stealing rides, across the country. HUSTINGS. 5 ---.:--vBALDWIN. 2 Tuesday was the day of the annual town meetings and in most towns the vote was light owing to the heavy sto,rm which set in in the afternoon. In Princeton township the candidates got together MondayKor- rather most of themJ and agreed to print a ticket which .would contain the names of all the aspirants for office. Tuesday there were some who did not fall in readily with this idea and a second ticket was printed. At the business meeting it was decided to levy a town revenue fund pf 8700 and a road and bridge fund of $1,300.

Kent, a lawyer from Milaca, but the results were so disastrous that he fell con strained to tell the police about it. 'The visitor from up country says he was enticed into a small show in lower Nicollet avenue Monday, where he found a game of chance in full blast. He says he saw others winning and so he tried his luck. The first few whirls* of the wheel doubled his money, but he soon began to lose and when the game" stopped he was out $55. He registered complaint at police headquarters. The officers state that there have been other complaints regarding the place, aTnd official action may be taken. Minneapolis Tribune. Take Notis.

Our exchange tells us--of' an editor in the lower part of the State who almost dropped" dead in his tracks the other day when one of his successful county candidates expressed his appreciation of his paper's support during the cam paign. This is^certainly a rare occur rence arid the editor would be excusa ble for his action if he should publish the candidate's portrait, so that the newspaper men might see for once in their life time the picture of an angel. It ought 0 be printed at once, for there is so much ingratitude in poli tics that the same fellow will very likely, before another year rolls by, be doing everything he can to run the aforesaid editor and his paper out of the country by starving to death or by trying"to belittle or-cripple the ed itor. There are some men who feel and show some gratefulness to the party paper after the campaign is over, but the number of such/men is not sufficiently large to crowd others out of the procession.
