A Milwaukee paper mentiones the peculiar instance of a man who thought he had mislaid his amber pipe stem and a doctor finally dis- covered it_firmly imbeded in the back of his tongue.

Before the annual convention in New York of the Association of Col- leges and Preparatory schvols of the Middle States aud Marryland, Mr. Pandon of Borndentown, N. J., said that women’s seuse of sympathy and compassion was being injured by her attendance at foot ball"zames. He quoted an exclamation he heard a young girl make at a re-ent game. Shesvid: ‘Why don’t they take that man off the field and let the game gu on?” Dr. Peatody of Groton school also thought that the game was be- ing overdone, though he favored it in its milder form.—Martin County Sentinel It is dangerous to employ child labor as was seen by a recent decision of the supreme court, says the Ro- chester Democrat. Jobn Elmer Perry, a boy of 15 years of age, who secured a verdict of $7,750 from David Tozer of Stiliwater for the loss of a leg, can have the money. ‘The state supreme court upholds the verdict as just. Young Perry was 14 years old, was working in Tozer’s saw mill at South Still- water tendjug a slab conveyor. His right foot was caught in an unpro- tected sprocket chain and drawn into some cogs and so crushed as to neces- sitate amputation. ‘The boy’s guard- ian sued for $25,000 and got a verdict of $7,750. The case is of special in- terest, as ib settles a new point in this state. The court holds that if an employer employs a child under 16 years of age without a certificate of permission from the school board such ewployment is prima faci evi- dence of the negligence of the em- ployer.—Sleepy Eye Harald. Horses and Logging Outfit Fer Sale. Ten heavy draft horses, harnesses Large Number of Civil Cases Passed Upon— Criminal Cases are Few. The district court has been in ses- sion all week and a large number of civil cases have been passed on. ‘They were ‘petty in nature and not of much consequence. : | The grand jury indicted Theadeus | O’Rilley and Sherman Kingston, charge'l wath grind largeny in the | second degree. ‘They were arranged | last Saturday and pleaded not guilty. The tial of Wm. Coddington for murder iu the first degree began on Thursday afternoon after much diffi- culty im securing a jury, seventy- six jurors being examined. ‘The names cf the twelye men who will decide the case are as follows: Hugh sane, Jas. Steves, Frank McKewan, John McDonald, Frank Boden. Joseph Hearschbeck, Martin Stram, Hank Plemer. Lew Riddell, Jasper Wason, Henry Gale, Robert Patterson. It will take at least three days before the case will go to the jury. ‘The State’s case rests substantially upon the proving of the following story of the shooting: . Coddington and | Kehring were neighbors and well @equainted, In April last the latter made arrange- ments to prove up on his claim and Coddington came down as far as Deer River with Kehring under prom- | ise to the old man he would help him asa witness before Clerk of Cuort Rasmussen, jut at Deer River Coddington became drunk and ina fit of anger deserted the old man be- cause the latter would furnish him (Coddington) no money for the con- tinuance of the spree. At that time Coddington was in debt to the Kehrings. Afterwards Coddington and Kehring had little to do with one an- other. Coddington, however, was very bitter against the ‘old man and threatened him on a number of oc- casions. To one man he said he would kill Kehring the first opportunity he had. He emphasized the threat with an oath. Coddington had been down to Frank Vance’s store alter provisions and was returning home when the tragedy occurred. When he reached Kehring’s place he saw@the old man coming down the path which runs from the road to the Kehring home. Coddington says that the old man had a revolver in his hand and was shouting at Coddington. ‘The noise startled the horses, who plunged for- ward. The wheels of the buckboard came in contact with a stump on the roadside and Coddington was ejected from the vehicle. He had his rifle be- tween his knees while in the ng, and had taken it in his hands when he saw Kehring making for him, so when he was ousted from the ng his rifle went with him. Arising to his feet he shot Kehring. Then he ran along the road a short distance, stopped, turned around and sent two more bullets at Kehring. Each ofthe three shots reached their mark, and Kehring dropped. : Coddington went home, told what he had done, and in company with two neighbors went down to Vance’s and gave himself up. : While at Vance’s, in response to an inquiry as to the possible results of the shooting, Coddington made a state- ment upon which the State rests a part of its case. He said: “IfI thought he wasn’t dead I’d go back and finish him now,” Itis expected there will be about fifteen witnesses in the case, princi- pally neighbors of the two partici- pants in the tragedy. : Four witnesses have already testified on behalf of the state, and some damaging evidence against Codding- ton has been elicited, to which the county attorney expects to add suf- ficiently to weive a chain of evidence | bearing out the State’s charge of mur- | der in the first degree. The defense will be that Coddington was justified in the killing, and witness after witness will go on the stand and testify that Kehring had threatened to take Coddington’s life. Of course there 1s no telling the out- come, but the opinion 1s prevelent that the defense can put up a good | case ofself-defense.
