Monday in regular session. We will
publish the proceedings of the board
in our next issue.
Our Sleepy Eye correspondent says
that Mrs. James Kuutsen, living about
five miles Northwest of Sleepy Eve,
was instantly killed by lightning last
Saturday morning.
The harvest has fairly commenced.
We hear that a great many farmers
are moving their grain, being too badly.
lodged to admit of cutting any other
way.
Surfacing on the Sleepy Eye and
Redwood Falls road was completed last
Saturday. and the force is now engaged
in building round houses and turn
tables at both ends of the road.
An oily tongued Cincinnati buggy
man was in town Saturday, but he sue
ceeded in selling only one buggy, for
$4,000. w. II. Phelps, of the Pennsyl-
vania House. was the purchaser.
We learn from John Weyhe; of the
firm of Gley & Weyhe, of Springfield,
that Adam Schaumburg, formerly of
this place, had a leg broken from the
kick OF a cowa week ago last Sunday.
We understand, that a lot of young
scamps of this city, some Of whom
are hardly able to hold a gun, go out
daily to shoot prairie chickens, and
run through the standing grain. The
farmers say that if they do not keep
off OF their farms they will make it
warm for them.
The Beaver Falls Times says that
NJ Mullen, of this city, lost a fine
horse near that place on Monday even
ing OF last week, by the reason of the
excessive heat. Mr.. Duffy, OF Birch
Cooley, also lost an OK from the same
cause.
j. I. Williams. of Mankato, who re-
Gently resigned the position of special
agent of the Post Office Department,
has received the appointment of Con-
sui to St. Helens, England. a city of
about $4,000 inhabitants, mostly all
Welshmen. AS Mr.. Williams is a ma
tive of Wales and speaks the language,
the appointment IS considered a good
one.
The hottest of all hot places during
the heated term that we have heard Of
yet is Beaver Falls. The Times says
that the thermometer indicatedll7 in
the shade, a week ago last Saturday.
Beaver Falls must be a regular little
h--l. Friend Kelsey, how do you man
age to get out your paper in such
sWeltering heat!
During the prevalence of the thunder
storm q week ago last Sunday the light
ming struck the house Of Franz Brey,
Of Lafayette, considerably shattering
the building. There were II persons
in the house at the time, but strange
as it may appear no one WAS injured,
although a dog that was playing on the
floor with a. child was instantly killed.
Mr.. Henry Dressler returned last
Saturday evening from an extended
trip through the mining regions of
Michigan, where he had been with a
consignment of cattle. Henry travelled
about 400 miles on Lake Superior, and
says that he made a herculean attempt
to turn himself inside out. He sayshe
felt ''orful bad while making the eff.
fort.
Sometime ago an immigrant passed
through our city with yoke Of oxen
and a covered wagon on which was
written, ''Bigstone or Bust The
same man again passed through our
city last week, but the forward wheels
was all that was leftof his wagon. He
had the wagon cover folded under him
for a seat, and on a piece Of the cover
that dangled along behind him the
word Busted was written. The
fellow really presented a sad appear
ance.
