Board of Trade meeting Monday even
ing. This meeting is called for the pur-
pose of considering tho ACCESSIBILITY of yot-
ing on the question of bonus, at the CON-

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 theSfarmers require
every cent there is in the'wheat, 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
ofswagons 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,wGekly 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 Inkpa
City, is to be triweekly 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, H. Hulburd,
of Ortonville, were grieved to hear of his
sudden death, which occurred at that place

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 well
coined The remains were brought to this
place for interment, the burial occurring
last Saturday.
CoMMENDABLE.-In these days of bogus
insurance companies, it is really pleasing to
endorse and praise sterling and reliable
companies. The Farmers Mutual Insur,
ance Company; of Minnesota, is one of the
few companies that promptly pay their
losses and adjust the damage with satisfac-
! ton to the policy holder. In our last issue
brief mention was made of the loss of Mr..
w. H. Mathews grain; yesterday check
for 1927, the full amount of the loss, was
S handed him by Mr.. J. D. Good, one of the
directors. Such promptness entities the
1 company 10 great credit, and is the best
" possible recommendation to the public.
Col Crooks, President of the L. F. 6 D.
t R. R., was in town yesterday, and left fol
/ the front" to join the engineers, who are
r about fifteen or twenty miles west. The
Colonel is in dead earnest, and the early
c completion of the outlet to Duluth is an as
T.. sured fact. Mr.. Skinner, of st. Paul, &C
q companies Col. Crooks, and will go will
him over the line to Browns Valley Mr.
S. surveyed line from here to the Missouri
river, in 1871, and his knowledge of thu
country and the line of the most feasible
route, will be of great assistance in hurry
ing the work of 'surveyilg to an early com
s pletion. Both gentlemen are astonished a
II the wonderful growth, progress and devel
II opment which few years has brough
about.
u Anunfortunate affair occurred yesterday
II which caused no little excitement. We sa,
% unfortunate, as the whole fuss could hav
been easily prevented. 1t appears that
It dog, the property of Mr.. John Archibald
n by some means got loose from his chain
q, and was found and tied to fence near tn
paint shop on Fifth st. The dog wa
n. missed by the owner and traced 10 the lake
N where lie had been taken by Mr.. b. K
N Rush, who, with friend, had gone to try
new gun. Mr.. Archibald was NATURAL,
! angry, and allowing his passion to get TIL
= best OF his judgment, supposing the do
: had been stolen, took the law into his owl
hands and assaulted Mr. Rush, Furnishing
him severely, and perhapse disfguring hin
q for life. However, he took occasion t.
le apologize for his hastiness, and made rer
VI aration Some of Mr. Rush's friend
" swore out warrant for assault and battery
and had Mr.. Archibald arrested and fined
n their object being, to teach him lesson, a
n this is not the first time he has forgotte
IN himself. We regret having to chronicl
r, the affair, as little forethought on til
part of either party would have prevente
to the occurrence. But we cannot allow tn
C. matter to drop without saying that thi
he taking the law into persons own hands
i'd is to be severely condemned, and the la,
should be vigorously enforced to prevent
he repetition of the offence. Both parties al
". to blame.
