An exciting time was had yesterday morn ing In the court of Justice Swenringen , who was hearing tbo trial of the case of Mary Peterson against Charles Thyrkoll , in which the plaintiff was seeking to got possession of a cow which she claimed was hers , but which was In possession of her brother , the defend ant in the case. J. G. P. Peterson was mar ried to the plaintiff only a few weeks ago , and ho was really reponstble for the bringing of the suit , his wife being contended to Icnvo her cow in the hands of her brother. Mrs. Peterson was put upon the stand , and after she had instilled she went across the room nnd commenced to talk to her father nnd brother. Her testimony had npparontly not suited her liege lord , for Peterson rushed across the room , seized his bride by the arm and pulled her down stairs after bun In spite of the efforts of the male relatives of the woman , assisted by some of the by-slanders , to prevent him from doing her any Injury. At the same time ho proclaimed lu a loud tone of voice that the father and brother were trying to win tils wife nwny from him , and ho didn't propose to stand it. At the foot of the stairs the brother of the plaintiff mot him and some angry words wore ex changed , which seemed likely to result in a light. During the ( juurrol Mrs. Peterson ran up stairs , her husband shouting to her as she disappeared behind the door of the Jus tice shop that Ho was going home nnd she need not inlnd about following tim , as ho bad had enough of nor. The transaction mid Its romantic ending attracted n largo crowd , which was evidently " anxious to .sco a light. At the conclusion o"f the trial Mrs. Peterson was given possession of the cow. _ Buy your furniture , carpets , stoves and household goods of Mandol & Klein , Council BlutTs.

The artesian well at Lake Manawa is attracting a good deal of attention and many remarkable cures are reported as having1 boon made by the use of its waters. Last spring the well was sunk to a depth of 185 feet , and a handsome pavilion built around it. The well was originally sunk in 18SO , when the hotel was being built. Its strong mineral qualities were at once discovered and a quantity of the water was sent to Prof. August Bode of Milwaukee , with the following result : Sulphate of iron , C.9. Sulphate of magnesium , 4.5. Phosphate of magnesium , 3.8. Chalybeate , 3.4. bulphato of sodium , 3.G. Chloride of sodium , a trace. Reaction Slightly alkaline.

MONEY IN THIO TUEASUIIY. Trouble Which the 1'rrsonal I'coplo Have oif Hand. The Douglas County Personal Itlghts league Is still In the ring. The idea ontor- tulno'l by some pcoplo that the defeat of pro hibition ended the occupation of the Personal Rights league was shown last night to have been entirely erroneous. About sixty mem bers of the Douglas County league mot at Gormania hall and proceeded to form n per manent organization by the adoption of a constitution and bylaws. All Gorman speaking citizens may bacomo members of the organization. The intention is to have the orgai nation made permanent all over the state , so that in case the prohibi tion ghost should again show its head a do- clslvo attaclc can bo made by those who as sisted so energetically and efllolently In de feating the amendment last year. There was a lively discussion last night In the league when some of the members wanted to vote some of the funds now in the treas ury to assist In bearing the expenses of the Gorman day demonstration. President Lund was stoutly opposed to the idea of using the funds for that purpose. Ho held that the funds had boon largely con tributed by people who were not Germans and they understood when they contributed the funds that the money was to bo used In the nntt-prohlbltion campaign. Ho thought , therefore , that it would not bo right for the league to divert the funds to some other uso. Other members of the leueuu said that the prohibition tight was ever , there was a fund of about * 7,000 In the treasury and they did not believe that anybody who had con tributed to the league would feel olTondcd If some of the money should bo used to defray the expenses of Gorman day. Some of the members hinted that the funds wcro being kept for the fall qampiilgn and If that was the Intention of the democrats In the league who objected to using the funds for Gorman day , there would bo several different varieties of inuslo Moating through the at mosphere about the tlmo the attempt was made to use the funds In n local , political campaign , After discussing the matter for some tune II was ( bully decided not to use the funds for Gorman day.

Sloes. Tbo piece of land involved is ! it0 ! acres along Lake Phalon. Tullmadgo Lambert , who is defeated in the suit , is a young man of Washington city. The facts are unusual. In IblO Amlrow Boll Patter son , an GpUcop.illan clergyman , came to St. Paul with a number of land warrants which ho gave to David Lambert , a lawyer , to lo cate for him on government lands. Lambert proceeded to locate the warrants In his own name , Within a week tlioroaftor ho died. The administratrix of his estate , his mother , petitioned the probate court and attempted to transfer the land to Patterson , and never claimed It as a part of the estate of David Lambert.
