Old Settlers Picnic.
LAmberton Commercial


The day opened with rain storm, but
about ten O'Clock the clouds broke away,
asd with the exception of light shower
At four clock the remainder of the day
was pleasant. The first load of picnickers
reached the grove at about 1926 and from
that time until past noon they kept arriv-
ing. At 80 abe table was spread with
all sorts of good things. and amid con
siderable merriment the old settlers show
I'd that they had not forgotten that they
were possessed of appctites At later
hour an organ arrived and the assembly
listened to some music, after which j. s.
G. Homer. of Redwood Falls, the oldest
settler in the county save one (Mr. Hon
nes went to Redwood Falls in 1884, de-
Iivered short speech.
After some more music, Judge H. D.
Baldwin took the stand. He first spoke
Of the burglary which had been committed
the night previous, and said that Mr..
Homer had been round among the mer-
chants youchfng for his (Baldwin's) hon
upon him with suspicion [laughterl. He
protested bis innocence, and wished that
he could speak with the same confidence
Of Mr. Homer [laughter], but he believed
that the gentleman wac not guilty.
He knew that great many people had
become dissatisfied with this country.

the frontier life were disappearing. and
the time must soon arrive when we should
be surrounded by the luxuries of life.
He related the experience of those who

for new country to become developed.
People had become dissatisfied with the

Judge Cox's disgrace at Marshall
IS exciting general comment, and the
conclusion of the St. Peter Tribune,
published at the home of that official
and heretofore friendly to him, is
that unfortunately there seems to
be no remedy but in impeachment or
resignation" The Judge broke his
whisky bottle in Supt. Sanborn's car,
on his way to Marshall, and while
holding court there imposed an out
rageous punishment of 500 fine and
thirty days imprisonment upon Law.
yer Gale, of Winona, which was too
grossly unjust to be carried into ef-
feet. The action of the grand jury,
detailed below, was condemned at
the meeting Of the bar as "ill-adviscd,
ill-timed and beyond the scope of
that body" whereupon number Of
the citizens called a meeting and re-
solved that the action of the jury
was "well-advised, well-timed, and
their cersure ought to be regarded
We clip from the News:
The instruction of the Judge to the
Grand Jurors was marked for the impress
siveness with which he charged them to
look to the record of all officials. from the
pound keeper to the highest officer, and
without fear or favor report any wrong
done. Subsequently it is stated that he
complimented the Grand Jury upon the
Performance of their duties.
On Monday, We understand that Rev.
Samuel j. Rogers went before the Grand
Jury. aud charged Judge Cox with drunk.
.enness. and the jury Immediately sum
moned the witnesses named to prove the
charge. Tuesday morning the Grand Jury
closed their labOrs, presenting to his hon,
or, It is rumorcd, resolutions of censure.
The Judge read and re- read the document,
and ordered recess of the court for If
teen minutes. requesting the members of
the bar to Immediately meet his honor at
his room at the Bagley House, which they
did.
The proceedings there have not gener-
ally been made public. but We are in
formed that the Judge retired. and left
the lawyers to discuss the matter; that
Il was suggested that no notice be taken
Of this matter. as it did not cmanate from
proper authority; that large majority of
the members failed to accept this view
that 1t was decided to investigate the
charges made by tho resolutions of the
Grand Jury; that Messers. Gale. of Wi
mona. and Cove, of Candy, were appoint.
cd committee to consider the matter
and report at an adjourned Meeting OF
the bar. at o'clock Thursday evening.
After the meeting had adjourned. the bar
returned to the court room. and the SEES
sion of the court was resumed, it being
understood that the court would await
the action of the bar.

the enemy's feet, with their guns and fire-rafts,
opposed by those of Farragut's feet and Porter's
mortar fotilla-all belching forth their fire at the
same time in one continuous roar-presented
sublime and terrific spectacle, and one that must
have thrilled the heart and soul of every man that
participated. The night was dark but by the light
from the freraftS and the rapid flashes of the guns
we were enabled to pilot our way through. When
we got by the forts the firing ceased. We passed
rapidly out of the smoke into daylight. We sud-
denly passed from darkness to light, and then for
the first time, from the commencement to the end

squadron. We were so
ENVELOPED IN SMOKE AND DARKNESS
in the battle that it was impossible to see where
our friends were, and can assure you it was a
happy moment at the meet that morning above
the forts. 1t SO happened on that night that was
on picket duty, and when the signal for battle
was made was ordered by Admiral Farragut to
tell the vessels of his squadron to take their po

A man with a silk hat which came

saloon on Randolph street and called for some
whisky and sugar. When he had downed it and
the bar-keepcr had counted up the cost and re-
marked about the weather, the old man wiped his
mouth with the towel and said: 81 saw bigger
snow than this in April, 1912, about this time of
the year." The keeper said nothing. az saw
a heavier snow than this in 1920, in May" And
the bar keeper still kept quiet. "And in 1910 1
took a sleigh-ridc in Erie County ON the 9Th of
May" "Will you take something" asked the
saloon man. Eyes, I'll take some more. Seems to
me this is goin' to be another hard winter" the
old man said, as he clutched four fingers. The old
man said he was seventy-sev years of age, and
from Erie County, New York. He wanted to tell
how the mercury stood when he was seven years
old, but the saloon keeper gave him map of the
