Geo. Crouch, of Lorenzo, was one of
the jurors in the Duncan trial here last
week. His late illness has left it's
marks on George quite plainly.
Ed. Paulson, of Linden, was a caller
at The REVIEW office last Saturday. He
says the threshing in that town is about
completed, there being only two jobs
left. Mr.. Paulson's wheat yielded
about l6 bushels per acre.
Frank G. Campbell, who assisted the
Governors Guards in rendering the
Union Scouts at Union Hall in May
last, left Minneapolis last week and
proceeded to Kingston, Jamaica, where
he will join theatrical company. His
family accompanies him.
Mike Dinneen, who is now a ioyial
lnn'keeper at Huron, d. r., gave us a
pleasant call last Thursday: Dakota
climate does not appear to have chang.
ed Mike great deal; he is, as near as
we can judge, the same good.natured,
jolly man that he used to be when he
made Brown county his permanent
home. He says. Huron is at present
nearly as large as Lorenzo, although
but seven months old-it having been
started in May last. Nearly all of the
settlers of that community are we'll to
do, having come from some of the
older States East and brought along
considerable capital.

A Ne " Confidence Iamc.

There being but little danger from
lightning in the winter time; and the
ground being rather frosty for setting
out fence posts, the lightning rod and
iron fence post sharpers have adopted
a new modus operandi against the un-
wary farmers. Two of these sharpers
visited Nicollet county last week and
selected Mr.. Thortson, living near
Swan Lake in the town of Court.
land, as victim. Their mode of op.
Grafton is about as follows: On Tues
day Mr.. Thortson was visited by a
genteel looking man who had heard
that Mr.. Thortson desired to sell his
farm. The place was carefully gone
over and the genteel looking man
agreed to pay Mr.. Thortson his price
SO 5000, for the place, paying him an
Insignificant sum to bind the bargain,
Mr.. Thortson agreeing to visit ST..
Peter the next day to have the papers
made ont for the transfer. Just as Mr..
Th0rts0n was on the point of starting
for st. Peter on Wednesday morning,
he was visited by another genteel
looking man who had also heard of
Mr.. Thortson's desire to sell out.
Mr.. Thortson Informed him that no
had on the day before sold for $1,000
Genteel looking man No. 2
was real sorry, but as the place
would just suit him lie offered Mr..
Thortson sic 900, and thought that if
Mr.. Thortson would pay the purchaser
of the day before 81 900 he would re-
lease him from the bargain. Mr.
Thortson was of course willing to let
genteel man No. have the place if
the first purchaser could be satisfied in
the way suggested, as he would still
make $1,000 by the bargain. Mr.
Thortson at once came to this city and
requested Mr.. E. G. PAIL to accompa.
ny him to st. Peter, which the latter
named gentleman did. Arriving at
St. Peter, genteel man No. l was hun.
ted up and he readily agreed to the
proposition. Mr.. PAIL and Mr..
Thortson then requested genteel man
No. 2. to advance the money, but this
he would not do though ample surjty
was offered him. He finally proposed
to pay genteel man No. l $500 if Mr..
Thortson would pay the other $500.
This Thortson would not do and nego.
tiations broke off for the evening.
Next morning it was ascertained that
both genteel men had made tracks for
some other parts during the night,
having no doubt become convinced
that they had tackled thewrong man.

that he was as far as one hundred

made close observation of the country.

says the soil in that country is

city, lately related the following in the
hearing of one of our reporters as an
evidence of special good fortune. 1 have
been suffering, said Mr.. O'Conor, for a
number Of weeks with Il very severe
pain in my back, believed to be from
the effects of a cold contracted while
on the lakes. I had been prescribed
for by several of our physicians and
used various remedies. Three DAYS
ago, I abandoned them all, and bought
a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, applied it at
night before retiring and to-day feel
like a new man. experienced almost
instant relief and now feel no pain
whatever.

We are grieved to announce that
Geo. McCarty, of Mulligan township,
whose leg was broken Il few weeks ago,
was obliged to have it amputated on
ednesday Of last week. The opera.
ton was performed by Dr.. Berry of
this place, assisted by the physicians
of Sleepy Eye. The leg was taken off
just above the knee. The lower part
OF the limb was completely dead, 50
that there was no more hope of having
it saved. DR.. Berry informed us that
the patient was very low after the
operation was performed, but thought
that he would be able to pull through.
Notwithstanding the cold and stormy
weather last Saturday evening, the
Scandinavian ball at Union hall had a
pretty fair attendance. About 80 tick
cts were sold, so we have been inform
ed. During the day, before the cold
had set in, quite number came in
from different parts of the surround
ing country for the purpose Of attend
ing the dance, and of course they were
bound to have their fun-storm or no
storm.
Owing to the very cold and blustery
weather last Sunday evening, the Msen-
nerchor concert at Union Hall was not
as largely attended as it would have
been under more favorable circum-
stances, but those that did attend were
we'll pleased with the entertainment.
The MBnnerchor rendered some choice
selections in a manner that does the
society credit. Mrs. J. B. Carl rend-
cred her part Of the programme in a
pleasant. unasuming style AID she re-.
ceived hearty encore. The opcretta,
Checkers Geschichte," was admirably
produced, and the performers were
heartily applauded at the close of the
act. The dance, as matter of course,
was a success.
Since our last issue. several more
children have been wrested from their
homes by the dreaded disease, diphthe-
ria. Rev. J. c. John, Of the Metho-
dist church, had three of his children
buried in one grave last Thursday. His
two little girls, aged respectively eight
and five years, died on Wednesday
morning, and little boy Of three years
dying on Thursday morning.
On Thursday night Mrs. FIR. Keller
lost two of her children by the same
disease, a boy and a girl, aged about
II and years. This is really a sad
bereavement to those families, and the
sympathies of the community is with
them in their sore trial.
