HOME TO RoosT.-A hard citizen named
O'Brien was run in by the sheriff Monday,
and being hauled up before the justice was,
in default of cash, sent to the cooler for
eight days, his offence being the usual
drunk and disorderly. O'Brien is a-a-d
man and is the identical individual who
scuttled the roof of the lock up lost sum-
mer and slid for other parts. The marshal
tried to get the fellow to go to work on the
streets, but he refused absolutely to do so,
and is consequently enjoying bread and
water diet
Go IT.-A paper was circulated among
the owners of horse flesh of the creased
tightening breed, and the sum of $1,000
was speedily subscribed for the purpose of
putting the halfmilc track on the river
bottom in condition for speeding. Some
of our horsemen will be sadly disappointed
if exhibitions of speed considerably under
three minutes are not recorded. There are
half dozer or more good trotting horses
in this village and there will be some nip
and tuck racing as soon as the track is
completed.
HAIL.-The hail storm of last Wednes
day was very heavy in the western portion
of the county, and done considerable dam
age to strip of territory about three miles
in width through which it passed. Eye
witnesses report it to be one of the m ost
furious storms of the kind they have seen,
the hail stones being nearly of the circum-
ference of turkey egg. At Chokio all
the exposed glass in the section house was
destroyed. Grain suffered damage in the
locality where the storm was the most Sc
we're, but was not sufficiently advanced to
be permanently injured. .....
