FARIBAULT.

When the alarm of fire sounded from st.
Mary's Hall, the other day, there was l.. GU
lar stampede of the several companies of the
fire department to be first on the ground.
Chief Stroud could not see the point the
boys were making until they began calling
Justify on him for the order to carry out the
girls, and some of the boys seemed really
down-hearted when they Jaw no chance to
promulgate such an order. .--- 80.
Sprague's Georgia MINISTRIES gave one of
their popular concerts at Hills Opera house
on Friday night last to a good audience.
The troop still holds it's we'll earned popular
ity for the best hits, and the biggest plug
uglies for end men in the business.
Ole Weaverson says that the first Chief
readiug an account of it in the r. p, the
was great reader, but was not aware that
he got all of his police news out of the
papers. Samuel, keep weather eye on Ole,
he is chock full of mistakes. Indeed he ap-
pears to be wholly mistake of somebody,
from the looks of his hash in the p. p.
A number of envelopes that contained pa
pers belonging to persons robbed last sum-
mer and returned by the robbers have been
examined, and show conclusively to have
been written by the same hand as the postal
card sent by Sherman (now here in jaiD to
his halfbrother, Boyle, short time ago. and
points pretty clearly that this man Sherman
had a hand in the business, and the court
did good thing coping him up. 49,
In the case before Justice Hunter, Satur-
day, of Mary Havelchek vs. Albert Tomak,
for bastardy, some queer facts have been
developed in the manner of transaoting that
kind of business out in the Bohemian settle

been guilty of making overtures to too many
of the girls, the old ''dads'' get up kind of

mans head, gets the pat and waltzes him
into the nuptial coils, the balance take the
law in hand, and before the young man gets
through the job, he finds lawyers enough to
absorb his cash capital, and Jordan hard
road to travel.

A couple of tramps who are professionals
in the business, saw few days ago the ap-
preaching storm, and thinking it about time
to get under cover for a few days, dropped
around to Koollmann's, stole couple of
blankets, and leisurely sauntered around
offering them for sale, and succeeded in get
ting ninety cents for one of them. BY and
by they accosted Policeman Shutter at the
foot of the stairs leading up to police head
quarters and offered him the other. Jim in
vited them up into the Office to examine the
blanket, to which they readily assented.
When there Shutter informed them of his
suspicious and waltzed them off to the lock-
up for the night. At the usual hour next
morning they we're brought out of the Jail
for hearing, when one of them left his ex-
ira coat in his cell and at the sug-
gestion of fellow prisoner that
he had better take his coat along, as there
might not be proof enough to send him
back, answered damn the odds, he would
plead guilty anyhow, and they would have
to send them back; the weather was too cool
outside now for business. Sheriff Barton
says they have appetites like government
mules, and thinks they rather come it over
