Morris tribune., 1880-11-25

were not opened until one o'clock In the
afternoon. Had some of the candidates
made contest on this point, it would
have made change, but as twenty days
have passed. it is now everlasting too late.
We received letter last night from Rev.
A. O. Pellisson, who says, among other
matters, IL am in St. Paul, and leave this
evening for Chicago. will be there with
physicians for few weeks, and then leave
for Florida or California" Father Pei.
lisson also states that he hopes to return
next spring, and frankly says. ST am lone
some already"
A we'll dressed and rather fine appearing
young man in a non-navigable and tight
ually slight condition, was one of the dis
agreeable sights on the streets Tuesday.
The W. d. and r. +. a. young man was a
stranger in these parts, but it would have
been wholesome lesson for him perhaps,
if someone had sobered him up by filling
his coat tail full of boots.
STor IT. Several farmers in town dur
ing the past week have made complaint of
the damage done to property by cattle run
min at large in the street. These rowing
animals attack and destroy the sacks and
grain and everything else in the wagons and
do II great amount of destruction. 1t is
wrong to permit this, as it is liable to keep
people from coming here to trade.
WooD STEALING.-A man named Chas.
Cahnow, was arrested and brought before
justice Bragg on Monday, on charge of
stealing wood from the premises of D. G.
Lindsey. Cahnow secured postpone
ment until Tuesday, but at the appointed
time did not put in an appearance and the
sheriff's deputy has to make a ten mile
trip into the country to find the paroled
prisoner.
MCGOWAN, one of the trio who broke
Jail at this point, has been heard from near
Browns Valley. We presume he keeps
near the Dakota line so as to skip for the
coteaus if pursued. Some of our Browns
Valley friends might make few dollars
by colaring the lad if he is yet in that vi
entity He is described as follows: Black
hair and moustache; blue eyes; height
about five feet and ten inches; slim build
If al new depot is not required a ladies'
waiting room is most assuredly among the
most pressing needs. 1t is absolutely
shameful to compel ladies to wait some
times for an hour in aroom, close, rocking
with the vilest fumes of tobacco smoke,
and filled with crowd of rough, noisy,
and frequently profane men. Such con-
elition of affairs is certainly discreditable
both to the railroad company and to the
village.
IMPROVEMENTS Despite the cold wealth
er Improvements still continue, and on all
sides new houses are looming up. Three
new cottages are being built in Morris
addition; large addition is being built to
Mrs. Crandalrs residence on Eighth street
work has begun on the Episcopal church
the large residences of Messrs. Sutherland,
pleted; a building for storing machinery is
in course of erection ON Seventh street,
and many other Improvements are noted
in almost every direction around town.
This is good sign, and shows corclusiveIy
that We are prospecting and growing at a
rapid rate Morris is destined to be one
of the banner towns of the state, "and
don't you forget it,"
Considering the number of superfuous
CANNES which infest this locality, it has
been suggested that "a sausage factory be
established at this point" The idea, while
not entirely original, is nevertheless
worthy of consideration. In this connec.
ton we may say, the Benson Times kindly
and considerably, suggests that but for the
fact that their dog poisoner uses no judg
ment i'll his slaughter of these animals,
they would send him up here. Thanks,
many thanks, but as we have had one OF
these chaps in our vicinity already we con
cludcd it was preferable and decidedly
than a man act as brutal brute, so we
tried to protect the dog, and would if We
could, have exterminated the cur of 8
poiSoner.
The ladies of the Episcopsl congrega
ton, at their social last Thursday evening
successfully inaugurated a new and pleas
ing variation in the line of entertainment!
usually furnished at social gatherings Of
this description. The programme wa
carried out as published, was well received
and proved both entertaining and amusing
the occasion being decided success, so
cially and financially. There were not a
many of our citizens present as, for man,
reasons, there should have been, but thi
was attributable almost solely to the fac
that but extremely short notice was given
However, the ladies have many reasons, al
things considered, to be gratifed with tn
success of their effort to provide amuse
ment of an entertaining and instructiv
order, and we have 40 doubt but that ell

HORRIBLE IF TRUE.-It was reporte,
here yesterday that family in the Con
nemara settlement were SO badly frozcl
during the early part of the week tina
some of them cannot survive. The facts
as near as we could obtain them last night
were these: Some of the neighbors nc
ticing Eo smoke rising from one of the sci
tiers shanties, went there, and found til
entire family more or less frozen, bein
destitute of either food or fuel. The moth
er and one of the children cannot recover
1t is stated that there is no fuel at Grace
vile, and we were SO assured by reliabl
party. There are many gloomy rumor
current, of the awfully deplorable cond
ton of these emigrant settlers, and it
proposed to send reliable party fror
here, to investigate and report. Shout
there be any foundation for some of thes
reports. it is proposed to bring the matte
before the nrOper authorities
