Joseph Mcdonald was shot by Marshal

men were prewling around her house. and
from their suspicious actions she believed
they were trying 70 rob her. Marshal
Singer oDsyed the woman's request. and

of sunfiOwers. was commanded to halt by
Mcdonald. the latter raising his arm hori>

hours. The wounded man remarked that
his brother shot him. He gave no account
Of his wandering in the vicinity Of the

railroad company. and in company with
another man came down from Syracuse
on Thursday. tho day previous to the
shooting. He was in questionable compa-

PARKERS PRAIRIE.

We notice in the last FARMER, your
correspondent Fact, of Bluffton, in
speaking of bonding the county in
aid of the so called Minnesota North
ern railroad. says that Parkers Prai-
rie will vote almost unanimously in
favor of bonding the county. No sir,
Il mistake! We have seen but one
man who was in favor OF bonding.
But on the contrary, we have found
all those we have talked with, one
exception. to be bitterly opposed to
voting 5000. 900 into the pockets of a
rich syndicate, without correspond
ing benefit. for some of us fail to see,
down in this corner of Otter Tail
county. where the benefit comes in
for the building of this road, unless
it is to the landed spectators,
through which the road passes. 1t
would he Il big thing for them to sell
their land ut a high figure and pocket
all the profits to be derived from said
road, and then the per cent interest
annually on 5000. 900 for the next gen.
Grafton, would be big thing too. It
would be for the tax payers by the
time they get it paid. Iarkers Prai-
