there seems to be one thing on which all
disinterested people agree, that is, the fu-

stores are now scattered. Several parties
who intend building are only waiting for
this important question to be settled. A

carriages to the boat. A petition has been

Many people, and especially strangers,
are misled, or rather have wrong impress
sion in reference to the location of Orton-
vile. In our travels, we often have the
question asked us; "Where is Oftonville?"
"Where is Big Stone; is it not at the foot
of Big Stone lake?" They somehow have
it fixed in their minds, that the village at
the foot of Big stone lake, takes its name
from the lake; when, in fact, there is no
village by that name in the county. Inkpa

New Yorker; the two have consolidated,
and are now called Big Stone City. Orton-

If there can be more outrageous, unjust
and iniquitous law on to the statute books,
that the act creating and defining the
jurisdiction of the municipal court at ST.
Paul, we have yet to hear of it. AS an in
stance of the power this court gives to
frauds, swindlers and sharpers. A party
at this place was recently sued for pay
ment of note for $120. which it is claim
ed is void for want of consideration. Now
in order not to allow judgment to be taken
by default, the defendant together with his
attorneys and witnesses must go to st.
Paul, at an expense in this instance of not
less than $50 or $75, or else lose his case
In recent issue of the st. Cloud Times,
the injury wrought by this disgraceful and
infamous court of justice? is further shown.
The Times declares thatif there was nothing
else to add to the questionable character OF
a claim, the fact that it is brought before
the above court, is enough to stamp fraud
ON its face, and then says.
By sharp practice on the part of some
body the act cree ting this st. Paul munich
pal court gives it jurisdiction throughout
the state, and no change of venue can be
taken. Hence parties can be summoned
to st. Paul, from the most extreme portion
of the state, to contest some suit, tire
amount involved in which would not equal
the expense of attending with witnesses,
| and they must go or allow Judgment to be
| taken by default. The injury which this
municipal court jurisdiction works to per
| sons outside ST. Paul was illustrated in the
