Mr. B. Dassel, of Ortonville, was in town !
Tuesday, upon business visit, From Mr..
D., VIC learn that some of the hands on the |
H. s. D. railroad, offered armed resistance
to deputy sheriff serving writ of rerlev-
in. 1t appears a writ was left with Mr..
Dassel to serve, and as it replevied the
lumber in a shanty used by the graders the
men refused to allow the officers to take
the property, and forced them to retire
in bad order, under threats of using their
revolvers
A sad accident occurred last Thursday,
whereby Daisy, the infant daughter and
only child of Mr.. and Mrs w. II. Harris,
lost her life. 1t appears that at the dinner
hour, and while the parents were at the
table, the child crept up, unperceived, and
pulled over cup of hot coffee, the contents
spilling upon and scalding its face, breast
and stomach so severely that the child died
in few hours. The whole community
deeply sympathise with the sorrowing par
ents in their sudden and terrible bereave-
mcnt.

Messrs. w. E. Adams and J. P. H Nor
ris returned last Monday, from a visit to
their homes in New York and ST. Paul re-
spectively. The boys have, while alb
sent, been making extensive arrangements
for hunting, which a glance at their rooms
will show. First, there are rifles of the
latest styles, shot guns of the most i'm
proved patterns, razor edged bowie knives,
silver-plated revolvers of various calibres,
belts, cartridges, and the various parapher-
MALTA which go to make up perfect equip
ment. A trip to the Jim River valley is in
contemplation, and the boys propose TO go
fully prepared to wage war on any game
from a gopher to buffalo, or from.a snipc
to q crane.
Mr. L. B. Hodges has established an
agency at this place for the sale of trees
and shrubbery from his nursery at DeGraff,
notice Of which is elsewhere published.
Mr.. Hodges long experience and the great
interest he has always manifested in tree
culture, will be a sufficient guarantee to
purchasers, that any orders given him or
his agent, will be faithfully and honorably
filled The one fact of the trees being
grown upon the prairie, and in soil and
climate similar to ours, ensures their
) growth, as they are hardy and vigorous,
and consequently more likely to live and
flourish Prices are low, and as all know
the value of trees on the farm, there is no
reason for their not being thrifty and
handsome grove of trees on every quarter
