H. J. LOU SUE
Dan Moriarity Sues Loud for
$8,000 Damages for Ma
licious Prosecution.
The following complaint was
filed with the clerk of court of
Beltrami county yesterday. It
speaks for itself:
State of Minnesota, county of
Beltrami. In district court,
Fifteenth Judicial district.
Daniel Moriarity, plaintiff, vs.
Herbert J. Loud, defendant.
Plaintiff herein for a cause
action against the defendant
alleges:
(1) That the said plaintiff, on
and for a long time prior to the
second day of April, 1903, was
engaged as foreman over a gang
of men laying a spur or line of
railroad of the Minnesota & In
ternational Railway company's
line in Beltrami county, Minne
sota, and receiving as compensa
tion for his services the sum of
five dollars ($5) per day and ali
expenses.
(2) That the defendant now is,
and at all the dates and times
hereinafter mentioned was the
duly elected, qualified and acting
county attorney in and for che
county of Beltrami and state of
Minnesota.
(3) That on the second day of
February, 1903, at the village of
Bemidji, Minnesota, with the ex
pectation of receiving as reward
certain clientage, the defendant
did, without cause, provocation
or excuse, in total disregard of
this plaintiff's rights, maliciously,
wantonly, and with DEVLISH PUR
POSE AND DESIGN, in order to
effect the discharge of this plain
tiff and prevent him from earn
ing a living in Beltrami county,
write and publish of and con
cerning this plaintiff, certain
false, libelous and defamatory
words and phrases in form of a
letter written to W. H. Gemmell'
who then was, and now is, the
general manager of the said
Minnesota & International Rail
way company, by depositing said
letter in the United States post
office at Bemidji, Minnesota, on
or about said second day of Feb
ruary, 1903, addressed to the said
W. H. Gemmell, Brainerd, a true
copy of which letter is as follows,
to-wit:
"Office of Herbert J. Loud, county
attorney, Beltrami Co., Bemidji, Minn.
"February 2nd, 1903.
"W. H. Gemmell, Esq., Brainerd,
Minn.: "Dear Sir: There is a man by the
name of Daniel Moriarty said to be
in the employ of your company in
this vicinity. He has been arrested
twice recently, convicted both times,
and there is now a warrant nut for
him on a charge of felony. I am re
quested by the managers of some of
the largest lumber companies to write
yoti about himj as they claim, and I
know it to be a fact that Moriarity is
raising the very devil with the men in
the camps. He is constantly attacking
the men and beating them when he
can, and threatening to do serious in
jury to such of them as he happens to
be angry at. The lalLattack is said
to have been made with a gun. I
very much fear that we will have a
murder case on our hands if he can
not be got rid of. Can you give him
employment elsewhere, so that soue
other county will have to assume for
a while the burden of the criminal
prosecutions that result from his con
duct? I dislike to trouble you about
this matter but if he can be quietly
transferred to some other point it will
be a great accommodation to some of
your best shippers, who do not wish
me to mention their names- Thev are
in constant trouble at the camps, and
I have to break up the crews by sub
ocenaing the men to appear aerainst
Moriarity, and besides, the men are
deadly afraid of him.
"Yours sincerely,
H. "j. LOUD."'
(4) That by reason of the false,
libelous and defamatory words
and phrases written as aforesaid
by the defendant, Loud, the
plaintiff was discharged and was
obliged to leave the county of
Beltrami to seek other employ
ment, and the plaintiff alleges
that the said defendant, Herbert
J. Loud, threatened and does
threaten to exercise and use his
power as county attorney in
keeping the plaintiff away from
Beltrami county and in pre
venting the plaintiff from obtain
ing employment in said county.
(5) That the said Loud is in
affluent circumstances, receiving
a salary of fifteen hundred dollars
($1,500) per year: that the said
Loud is the owner of village
property reasonably worth three
thousand dollars ($3,000), and of
farm lands in Beltrami county
reasonably worth and of the
value of four thousand dollars
($4,000).
(6) That by reason of the pub
lishing of the false, libelous and
defamatory words and phrases
as aforesaid, and the threats
aforesaid, the plaintiff has been
damaged in the sum of one thous
and dollars ($1,000), and has suf
fered in his reputation in the sum
of five thousand dollars ($5,000)
that by reason of the false, libel
ous and defamatory matter pub
lished as aforesaid the plaintiff
has suffered mental agony and
pain and has been disgraced
among his fellow men to his dam
age in the sum of two thousand
dollars ($2,000).
Wherefore, plaintiff demands
judgment against the defendant
in the sum of eight thousand
dollars ($8,000), together with his
costs and disbursements herein.
CHARLES W. SCRUTCHIN,
Plaintiff's Attorney.
SCRUTCHIN IN PULPIT.
Attorney Scrutchin Occupied Pul
pit in M. E. Church Sun
day Night.
The sermon entitled "The Trial
of Jesus Prom an Attorney's
Standpoint," delivered at the M.
E. church by Attorny Scrutchin
last Sunday was one of the best
ever delivered in the city. The
church was filled and the lecture
room had to be opened up in or
der to accommodate the crowd.
Mr. Scrutchin handled his sub
ject in a masterly manner and
showed careful study and an en
tirely new phase of the subject.
He stuck to the text throughout,
speaking on it from an attorney's
standpoint, and made a great hit
with all who were present. The
crowd gave him the" closest
attention throughout and showed
their appreciation of the lecture.

brain is no indication of intellectual
eminence. The average weight of the
European brain is from forty-nine to
fifty ounces. Yet five out of thirty-one
male lunatics, taken without selection
from post-mortem records, had brains
ranging from fifty to fifty-six ounces.
The ebrains of three female lunatics
out of twenty-two exceeded fifty
ounces. It is well known that epilep
tics usually have large brains.

bones were broken," says the Topeka

Kansas City Journal.
Needs a Damper.
It is said that King Carlos of Portu
gal consumes thirty-one huge and ex
ceedingly strong Havana cigars daily.
What he needs is a damper in his
windpipe. He has too much draft. It
takes an ordinary smoker a good hour
to burn up such a cigar.
For What Reason?

British metropolis has a sign outside
the door conveying information of an
alarming character: "This is the best
restaurant in London. Our fish can
not be approached."

For Those With Stomach Habit.
A Philadelphia baker is authority
for the assertion that the latest fad
of dyspeptics Is bread made with sea
water, Instead of fresh water. "It
has a saltier taste," he says, "than
we are accustomed to, but it is very
palatable. In fact, he who likes salty
things is apt to like it better than
the other kind of bread. A physician
asked me about three morths ago to
make some of this bread for his
patients. At first I made six loaves
a day, but now I make thirty. My sea
water comes up to me from Atlantic
City three times a week. The dys
peptics who buy the bread say it is
the only kind they can eat fresh
without discomfort."
