THE GRIND OF
DISTRICT COURT
Disposition of The Gases On
The Civil Calendar.
The term of Kandiyohi County Dis
trict Court which commenced Mon
day morning, Oct. 6, is proving to be
the most interesting term of court
held here for years. One remark
able thing is that so far all the ver
dicts rendered have been in favor of
the defendants.
The first case on the civil calendar,
City of Willmar vs. Edmund D.
Sykes, was called Monday, Oct. 6. No
action was taken on this case and it
was continued until next term of Dis
trict Court.
Case No. 2, The Union Elevator
and Machine Co. vs. J. H. Wiggins
Co,, known as the "flag-pole" case,
was tried Oct. 11. The Commercial
Club had ordered a flag-pole through
the Wiggins Co. to present to the
city. The flag-pole proved defective
and payment was refused. The Com
pany sued to recover the amount and
verdict was returned in favor of the
defendant.
No. 4, case of Atwater Union Ele
vator Co. vs. Chas. H. Hanson, James
Tait, Jr., C. H. Ferguson, and M. J.
Ferguson, was called the first Mon
day. The plaintiffs sued for $3200.00,
and interest on a note given by Mr.
Hanson and sureties to cover an al
leged shortage of grain. Mr. Hanson
was buyer for the Company and had
given the note on the demand of the
Board of Directors. The defense
employed expert accountants and
set up the claim that there was no
shortage which could be traced to the
buyer's pockets, but that it was due
to mismanagement of the elevator.
The lawyers for the plaintiff were,
Chas. A. Swenson and W. B. Douglas.
The defendants were represented by
attorneys Daly & Barnard. This case
was continued all week and verdict
was rendered on Saturday, Oct. 11.
The jury left the courtroom 9:25 and
returned 11:10 a. m. with the ver
dict in favor of the defendant. The
jurors who decided the cast were:
I. Cashman, Carl Johnson, E. J.
Rollefson, Jr., Julius Larson, An
drew S. Reigstad, Knud Olson, Mich
ael M. Engen, Martin Syverson, M.
J. Kloster, William Johnson, Fred
Holtz, and Albert Gandrud.

lant, Kandiyohi County, Respondent,
is to be tried out of term upon ten
days notice by either party.
Frank McLouth, Appellant, vs. Kan
diyohi County, Respondent, case No.
8 (road appeal) was settled upon
agreement of both parties.
Case No. 11, Frank E. Styles, con
testant-appellant vs. John H. Styles,
proponent-respondent, will be tried
out of term after Nov. 25, upon four
days notice by either party.
No. 13, case of appeal from Ray
mond Justice, Tice Chadler vs. Clara
M. Leighton, was tried on Oct. 13.
Verdict of $27.00 was rendered in
favor of defendant
No. 14, J. S. Lee, E. W. Hanson vs.
Jas. A. Bosco and Mary Bosco, was
also disposed of on that day. This
was a case of appeal from the Mu
nicipal court in which the plaintiffs
sought to recover for a horse which
died two days after having been re
ceived in a trade for a piano. Verdict
rendered in favor of defendants.

Jail
Pleads Guilty and Pays Fine.
Contence Suspended.
Lars Arthun, the Spicer hotel man,
who was indicted on three counts for
selling liquor illegally at Spicer, con
cluded not to fight the cases. At five
o'clock yesterday afternoon he ap
peared before Judge Qvale with his
attorney, Tom Davis, of Marshall.
The latter stated that his client had
come to the conclusion to plead guil
ty and asked leave to change his
plea of "not guilty" to that of "guil
ty." The state had no objection- to
the granting of this request, and
when the accused was again asked,
"Are you guilty or not guilty?" Lars
responded with a faint "guilty."
Judge Qvale then imposed a fine of
$100 and costs amounting to $10, and
sentenced Arthun to serve thirty
days in the county jail, or to sixty
days if fine and costs were not paid.
The prisoner shelled out the money
and paid up, and the Judge suspend
ed the jail sentence during the good
behavior of the convicted man.
On motion of the County Attorney,
the two remaining cases were con
tinued to be held over the Spicer man
as a further incentive to walk the
straight and narrow path.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 13, 1913.It
John Swenson,
Willmar, Minn.
Dear Sir:
Referring to my visit at your place
and the promise that I made to re
turn as soon as possible and vaccin
ate some more hogs. The earliest
time when I can come will be the 21st
at which time I will bring enough
for at least 400 or 500 head and far
ther if you will see Mr. Poe and get
his co-operation I will give your peo
ple three or four hours of a demon
stration and lecture, provided you can
get at least 15 or 20 swine breeders
to come. Get two hogs that you think
are affected with cholera 100 to 200
lbs., and I will hold a postmortem and
lecture at the same-time.
Now there will be no charge for
this, all I want is enough interested
breeders to come to make it worth
while. I will probably be ready for
them on the 22nd. If anything hap
pens so I cannot come will advise
you.
Hoping to see you, I am.
Yours truly,
FRED EVANS.

CYCLE RACES
WEREJNTERESTING
Events and Prize Winners at
The Meeting Held at
Race Track.
The motorcycle races which were
scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Oct.
5th, and then postponed because of
rain, were held at the old race track
Hibt Sunday afternoon. A good siz
ed crowd was in attendance and they
were fully repaid by the exhibition
put up by the riders. Most of the
honors went to local riders while two
from Atwater represented that place.
While out warming up previous to
the races' Art Halvorson had the hard
luck of having an accident happen to
his machine which rendered it use
less for the afternoon. As the ma
chine was all tuned up and running
in fine shape at the time of the acci
dent this was hard luck. Art was
forced to ride a?Harley Davidson ma
chine and being used to a Pope was
at quite a disadvantage and could not
do himself justice.
The first race on the program was
half mile bicycle race in which Rich
ard Taylor won first prize in a close
fight with Harold Larson. They came
down the home stretch side by side
but the latter's foot slipped off the
pedal and Richard won. Earl Frye
was third.
The first motorcycle race of the af
ternoon was a two mile single cylin
der. Art Halvorson won this race,
riding a Pope machine, in 3:34%. Al
bert Anderson was second Martin
Fixen, third and Emil Aim, fourth.
The first heat of .the five mile
"Twin" followed and there was a
lot of interest manifested in this, as
in the warming up, Lindholm of At
water, riding an Indian machine,
looked to be some speed merchant,
and the crowd looked for a good race
and they got it. After a start, all
the contestants settled down for a
grind, with Albert Anderson in the
lead, while on the third lap, he had
a tumble and lost almost three
fourths of a lap dropping to third
place. However, he was up in a flash
and after getting started again, pro
ceeded to overtake the two ahead. In
less than a lap, he had passed the
first one, going into second place, and
with but six laps left, he set about to
overtake Lindholm. He gained rap
idly, giving his machine a wide open
throttle on the straight stretches, and
taking turns like a veteran. With
but two laps to go, it seemed certain
he would win out, when a connection
on the machine went wrong and he
had to be content with second place.
was a game try against great odds
and the crowd appreciated it. Lind
holm won first place, the time being
7:45%. Albert Anderson was second,
Art Anderson of Atwater, third and
Art Halvorson, fourth.
The three mile single cylinder was
the next event. This was interesting
for two laps only. An entry, Rollins,
by name with a beautiful start took
first place with Martin Fixen second.
On the third lap, Rollins in making
one of the sharp turns, ran off the
track and was out of the race. Fixen
won first place in the fast time of
4:02. Art Halvorson was second, Al
bert Anderson third and Rollins,
fourth.
The second heat of the five mile
"Twin" proved the superiority of the
Pope machine and the local drivers,
when Albert Anderson carried off
first place in 7:25, fully twenty sec
onds faster than Lindholm covered
the distance in the first heat. Art
Halvorson finished second.
Martin Fixen won the 3 mile single
cylinder event in 4:57 Halvorson
was second and Anderson third.
The third heat of the five mile
"Twin" was a repetition of second
heat. Albert Anderson won first
place in faster time yet, 7 minutes,
16 seconds. Halvorson was second
and Lindholm, third.
Art Halvorson won the three mile
single event.
The three mile twin event was won
by Albert Anderson with Lindholm,
second and Art Halvorson, third.
The races were very interesting
and were a huge success in every way
except financially. There was large
crowd, but as usual where no' fence
is up, a lot of dead heads don't pay
and it was impossible to make them
do so.
Following is a summary of the
events:
Half Mile Bicycle Race—Richard
Taylor, 1st Harold Larson, 2nd Earl
Frye," third.
Two Mile Single Cylinder—Art
Halvorson, Pope, 3:35% Albert An
