CoMpRoNIsE.- will be remembered
that mention was made in these columns
of the fact that a suit for 81, 900 had been
brought against the village, by Mary
Mccarthy for alleged injuries caused by
defective sidewalks. The village council
at recent meeting compromised with Mrs. |
Mccarthy for $25 However the end is |
not quite yet, as her attorney Maj. OVerton
has filed q lien on-well we don't know ex
actly what Oh, but he has filed one any how.
B. of T.-The meeting of the members
of Board of Trade last Monday. was not

appointed secretary pro TEN. On motion
the old or last years board of directors,
were reelected for the ensuing year. The

MANeLED. -Wednesday mornings east
bound train, when between Doran and
Campbell picked up a man named Knute
Meyer, who, judging from his condition,
had either been thrown from or struck by
some train or engine. The unfortunate
was terribly in jured, his skull cracked, face
bruised and swollen, and right side and
hip mangled and torn. AS near as could
be ascertained from him in his lucid mo-
ments, he was going to Louisa, and had q
car load of stock and household goods on
an extra train which went north Tuesday.
He got left at Morris and was sent west on
the passenger trnin, which overlook the
extra at Campbell, what happened after
that is conjecture, but it is presumable he
was thrown or fell from the train and re-
manned on the prairie all night. His inju
ries will probably prove fatal.
r. r. RAcKET.-The contract for the
grading of the line of railroad from Nor
ris to Browns Valley has been let to Messrs
Langdon g. Co., and it is evident from.tht
arrangements that are going forward, tina
it will be commenced as soon as the grouut
is in fit condition The contractors agen
was in town last week, and made arrange
ments with Mr. Chas. Wilson for his build
ling on Fifth st., which is to be used as
store room. The line is to be built by tn
st. P. M. g. NJ. r. r. Co. and we are in
formed will be completed to Browns Vale,
by August next. This will be good new
to the settlers along the proposed line, ant
: although we don't think Morris will be per
; manently benefited, by this line, yet tn
completion of the L F. & D., will, b,
$ making this competing point give u
back the trade That the Valley branch will
draw away. The engineers are now in til
d field and have started at point about on
: mile south of the village. The probabl
line will follow up the ravine and eros
e south of the lake and by the Wunsch farm
s L. F. & D.-A private letter from Co
o Crooks to q gentleman in this village, state
that he the Coils meeting with exec
o lent success, and the early completion c
; the Little Falls & Dakota is an assure
J. fact, or to use Col. Crooks language, CIV
are now on praying ground" The ente
: prise is regarded with favor by capitalists
- quite number of whom have decided
Q assist in pushing the road forward withor
delay.
