Board of Trade meeting Monday even
ing. This meeting is called for the pur-
pose of considering the ACCESSIBILITY of vot-
ing on the question of bonus, at the COM
ing election, to aid in the construction OF
the L. F. s. D.RaR. This is a most i'm
portant subject, and full attendance is
expected.
The Bank of Morris loans money on
wheat tickets. This will enable parties to
pay their bills and hold their grain for
raise in price AS the FARMERS require
every cent there is in the'whsat, and the
merchant every dollar due him, the farmers
should take this method of promptly squar-
ing themselves with their creditors, and
not sacrifice anything in doing so.
G. Larson's team took meandcr through
the town, yesterday, at higher rate of
speed than allowed by law; but the legal
view of the subject neither troubled the
horses, nor stopped them; it was couple
oftwagons that stood in their track, that
done the business. Result: Two poles, one
tail board, one reach, several harness straps
broken, and terrible amount of profanity
spilled.
We are to have tri-weekly stage commu-
nication between this point and Browns
Valley, on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri
days Col. Dunlap has the contract. Serv-
ice on the new route from Morris to 1nkpa
City, is to be tri-weekly also, but will not
be commenced until some cheap Illinois
contractor can sub-let the contract. AS he
agreed to perform the service for about
$500 less than paying prices, there seems
no Immediate prospect of regular commu-
nication.
The many friends of Dr. L. II. Hulburd,
of Ortonville, were grieved to hear of his
sudden death, which occurred at that place
last Thursday. The announcement in Our
: last issue, that he was dangerously i'll, sur
prised many, for he left here on the Tues
: day previous, in apparent good health, with
the intention of returning to this place on
Thursday, the day he died For many
: years he was terrible sufferer from that
: fatal complaint ''Bright's disease of the
Kidneys" and death was doubtless wei
t coined. The remains were brought to this
r place for interment, the burial occurring
last Saturday.
I COMMONWEALTH these days of bogus
! insurance companies, it is really pleasing te
endorse and praise sterling and reliable
companies. The Farmers Mutual Insur
ance Company, of Minnesota, is one of the
few companies that promptly pay theil
losses and adjust the damage with satisfac
L ton to the policy holder. In our last issue
brief mention was made of the loss of Mr.
W. H. Matthew's grain; yesterday check
l for 1927, the full amount of the loss, wa.
S handed him by Mr.. ]. D. Good, one of thu
directors. Such promptness entities thu
company TO great credit, and is the bes
~ possible recommendation to the public.
Col Crooks, President of the L. F. 6, D
It r. r., was in town yesterday, and left TO
/ the front" to join the engineers, who ar
r about fifteen or twenty miles west Tn
Colonel is in dead earnest, and the earl,
C completion of the outlet to Duluth is an as
= surcd fact Mr.. Skinner, of St. Paul, &C
q companies Col. Crooks, and will go witt
him over the line to Browns Valley. Mr.
S. surveyed line from here to the Missouri
river, in 1871, and his knowledge of tn
country and the line of the most feasibl
route, will be Of great assistance in hurry
ing the work of surveying to an early com
pletion. Both gentlemen are astoniShed a

about
a Anunfortunate affair occurred yesterday
Il which caused no little excitement. We sa
70 unfortunate, as the whole fuss could hav
been easily prevented. 1t appears that
1t dog, the property of Mr.. John Archibald
n by some means got loose from his chair
n, and was found and tied to fence near til
paint shop on Fifth st. The dog wa
n. missed by the owner and traced TO the lake
N where he had been taken by Mr. B. Z
IN Rush, who, with friend, had gone to try
new gun. MIR. Archibald was NATURAL
"a angry, and allowing his passion to get til
- best of his judgment, supposing the do
:. had been stolen, took the law into his ow
hands and assaulted Mr.. Rush, punishin
him severely, and perhapse disfguring hir
81 for life. However, he took occasion t
lo apologize for his hastiness, and made rel
~ ~ aration. Some of Mr. Rushs frenG
" swore out warrant for assault and battery
and had Mr. Archibald arrested and fineC
n their object being, to teach him lesson, 8
u this is not the first time he has forgotte
en- himself. We regret having to chronic
r. the affair, as little forethought on I'll
part of either party would have prevente
to the occurrence. But we cannot allow IL
&C. matter to drop without saying that til
he taking the law into persons own hand
Id is to be severely condemned, and the la
should be vigorously enforced to prevent
he repetition of the offence. Both parties al
" to blame.
