Jndpe Mcdonald last week held

..
Judge Mcdonald last week held a
special term of court in LIE Sueur Co.
for the trial of George Seller for the
murder of Joseph Sauter, at Heidel-
berg, in that county, on the 18th of
last October. The facts of the killing,
briefly stated, are, that the defendant
and deceased met in a saloon and quar-
relied, when they came to blows and
clinched; that the son of deceased,
boy of Is, assisted his father in throw
ing down the defendant; that while
down this boy struck defendant on the
head, twice, with a beer glass, but the
deceased merely held him down; that
after being let up defendant, placing
his hand in his breast-pocket asked the
crowd, .sWho struck me the last blow!!'<
and spectator named Bartel answered
.'Sauter,' when defendant instantly
drew his revolver and shot deceased.
The jury brought in a verdict of man
slaughter in the second degree, and the
court sentenced him to be confined at
hard labor in the State prison for seven
years. Mr.. Seller formerly lived in
this county and for a number Of year
taught q school in the town Of Milford.

Sharpers are practicing new
swindle among the agriculturists,
and which is proving very successful
in some portions of the State. They
approach their victims under the pre-
tense Of purchasing eggs, poultry, &c.,
and if bargain is concluded, the pur-
chaser pays one dollar to secure the
bargain and writes a receipt in lead
pencil, contriving to snap the point of
the pencil off just as he is ready for
the farmer to sign the receipt. He
then pulls out stylographic pen,
which very much resembles lead
pencil, and hands it to the farmer,
who readily affixes his signature to the
paper with ink. The sharper then leaves
promising to call again in a few days
for the purchase. The pencil marks are
then erased, and a promissory note
made out for any amount that suits
the fancy Of the sharper.

Editor Review: -
A few weeks ago there appeared an
article in Your paper purporting to be
written by Christ. Scar. Iregret very
much that Mr.. Scar could be induced
to allow his name to be used by a
man too cowardly to- use his
own. I intend to reply to it, as
it was so VIGOROUSLY false, low and
mean, but to-day I learn that
the originator, or writer, is trying to
make capital out fit, hence 1 will in
form the gentleman that his scheme
won't work. The headlines of that ar
ticle are OsborneAgentB adlyScared,"
I do wonder what he has to be scared
Of; certainly not of the Woods binder
or it's representatives, although I do
think the dog who sneaks from behind
for chance to bite will bear watch.

He then says sold the Woods and
don't see why should turn my back
upon it now. I will say, for twelve
years sold the Woods reapers and
mowers, I said then and say now, they
are good machines. My experience
with the binder was different. In 1875
I sold a Woods binder to Mr.. Rukke,

In regard to certain statements pub
lished in the New Ulm papers about
pulling the wire out of the Osborne
binder-clamp, we win say no change
has been made on the clamp or holder
since Mr.. Mullen's sample binder has
been received from the factory. We
have seen great many men at differ.
ent times try to pull the wire out but
in every case they failed to do it. We
will further say that the wire can not
be pulled out by either fair or unfair
means. James McKittrick,
