Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1879-01-30

Buildings are going up very fast on the
corner OF 9Th and Pacific Avunuss. and it
now looks as though our town will soon
be second to none, in point of size, to any
west of Minneapolis.
Rev. Chas Holman, pastor of the Ger
man church, went to st. Paul Tuesday, to
attend to matters in connection with the
new church which his congregation will
erect during the coming season.
Michael German met with an accident
last Sunday evening, while not dangerous,
is yet serious. While crossing the street
after dark, when opposite this office, he
stepped off the end of the culvert and dis
located his ankle.
The new boilers in the steam elevator
has been placed in position, and the ma
chinists are at work putting the engine in
position. The elevator was closed during
The fore part of the week, but is now ready
to receive grain.
The large number of foxes and wolves
in this vicinity, has made our citizens rath
or careless in handling poison, and as re-
suit several dogs have been poisoned
Now We do not object to the destruction OF
the wolves OF foxes, but we do not think
it right to put p4ison where any valuable
dog can get it, and people using it should
see that it is put at least beyond the village
limits
A petition has been presented to the
| County Commissioners, asking for the or
/ ganization of new town in the west part
of the county, and as u compliment to MIR.
Chas. Pepper, the new town will be named
Peppslton. AS soon as spring opens,
! twenty four families will move into that
town and take possession Of their farms,
Those living there now, as we'll as those
! who are coming, are all Germans, and
| mostly Old acquaintance from Ramsey
and Washington counties. If the new
Corners are as frugal, industrious aud hol
orable men az those already located there
and of our personal knowledge some will
be, we have every reason to congratulate
ourselves on this acceptable addition to
our numbers.
In an article which we publish this week,
Mr.. ". II. Campbell, of Donnelly, takes
us to task for publishing an item of news,
and rather abuses the privilege granted
him, by attacking Sheriff Landberg. We
stated that Sheriff Landberg did not con-
slider it a bona tide sale" Now, the Sheriff
may have had good and sufficient grounds
for not deeming the sale q proper one,
and we are of the opinion that he in nc
way exceeded his duty when he forced the
doors. There was ne allusiun made TO the
intent of the purchaser, in!the article above
quoted, and we think MIR Campbell over
sensitive. There was nothing in the arti
Gle rejecting on his character in any way
and by needlessly shouldering a portion Of
the stigma, it may appear to some a!
though he allows presumption that dix
not heretofore exist, although we have
every reason to think that Mr.. Campbell'
Intentions were otherwise
Unfortunately we did not hear the selec
tons as rendered by the band last Thurs
3 day, but from what we can learn and hea
from those who listened to the perform
ance we are glad to be able to say that al
were agreeably disappointed, as they di
expect to find the band so far advanced
We hope they will continue to make a
rapid progress, for it is gratifying to bot
themselves and the community at large.
The births and deaths in this county, fo
the year past, are as follows:
