Be Calm.

If our reporter had any style about him
(, he might go on to relate that this week
witnessed terrible explosion in this
community From Ramsey Falls to the
railroad depot; from the mineral springs
to the lonely bone-yard; from centre to
circumference, and from turrct to foun-
dation stone, Redwood Falls village shook
with the throes of tremendous upheaval
of public opinion Revenge threw his
blood d-stained sword in thunder down, and
hungry Ruin had US in the wind, etc.
We say that sensational reporter might
have furnished adornments such as these,
but our Pegasus is prosaic hack. too
'umble even to kick spitefully y-o out of
the question for it to go cavorting about
gracefully. y.9 ss 81 @
We had an explosion just the same.
1t had its origin in an misunderstanding
little book bearing on its title page the
following: 1.-The rules, charter. by laws
and ordinances of the village of Redwood
Falls, compiled from originals. by Fred.
V. Hotchkiss.' etc. The village bar
pounced upon the offending publication
early.in the week, and sat on it pretty
hard for several days. We understand
that the legal fraternity discovered as
the chief objections to the charter as
amended this winter. failure to provide
in respect to judiciary, elections, registry
4 of births and deaths, and certain powers
conferred on the council in relation t.
taxation. Also, objections as to the dis
position of funds in the hands of town
ship trcasurers. In regard to amend
ments suggested by the attorneys appli
cable to these matters. the council mad,
no contention. and they will endeavor tt
have these features Of the charter cor
rected before the Legislature adjourns.
Meanwhile we would that We could dis
pei, the personal and factitious feeling
aroused by the discussion Of these amend
ments. 1t is admitted on all hands tina
amendments were desirable. and we thinl
that if this discussion could have beer
had before the charter was acted upon b.
the Legislature. without hindering it
passage when properly framed, Their
would be no cause for dissatisfaction.

I Some spiteful miscreant put out chunks
of poisonous meat last week, with the
intention of making wholesal" slaughter
of the dogs. Some of the meat was placed
in front of the post-office on Saturday,
and caused the death of A. A. Cooks dog.
Two others were killed the same day. and
other attempts have been made since
then to kill off dogs in the village. The
bows declare that the sneak who does this
will have trouble if he is found out.

Our citizens have been pretty patient
in regard to deferred freights for the past
month or so. and have appreciated the
efforts which Superintendent Sanborn
and our postmaster have made to deliver
an occasional mail But there is now
considerable grumbling over the incon.
.venience of going without freight for SO
long time. The question is frequently
asked why the company could not follow
the mail trains promptly with cars loaded
with fuel and merchandise, before the
road is blocked up again. As the town is
out of coal oil and nearly out of sugar,
we hope the question will be satisfactorily
answered in a few days.

Two Obstinate Mules.

There was an impromptu circus yes.
terday afternoon in front of the LEADER
Office, two trick mules constituting the
attractions. The owner had purchased
harness for them at Frank Menea's,
and the fun consisted in putting on the
gear.
The mules yer pure Mexicans,
striped legs like zebras, and they each
possessed about a ton of cussedness to
the square inch. In their mad endea-
vors to break loose they bate. ed their
heads against the post to which they
were fastened, until they drew blood
copiously. Failing In this they reared
and jumped and rolled and. "bonked''
until they were worked up to a pitch Of
madness and glared furiously at their
tormenters.
Intelligence eventually triumphed
over brute force, and the animals walked
off completely harnessed, and subdued.
The incident drew a large crowd, as it
happened about mail time.

On the occasion of the Odd Fellows
celebration, a few days since, Mr.. W. M.
Mast, who resides on Ferguson street,
was out with his little ones-a boy and
two little girls-for the purpose of Civ
ing them a chance to hear the band
play and see the drum major. A per-
son whose name it is not necessary to
mention, came along and took up in
his arms the smallest of the three-the
baby-a bright little girl of probably
three summers. Carrying the little one
up the street a few steps, the person
alluded to asked the little one if she
could see her mamma, who at that time
was looking out of the window. The
little thing looked and looked to catch
a glimpse of the mother, but without
success, when she finally exclaimed:
"No l tant see mamma, my eyes amt
long enough" She was subsequently
taken to a point where her eyes proved
to be 'slong enough.o

1t Is said that Oregon has hit upon a
new expedient to keep her citizens So
Der. Every man who drinks is required
to take out a license costing five dollars
a year. Unless armed with this docu-
ment he cannot get his bitters at any
hotel or saloon, for it is a penal offense
for the proprietors Of these establish
ments to sell to any person who hasn't
a license. Every six months the names
of the persons who take out these Ii
censes are to be published in the local
papers, SO that the public may know
who are authorized to drink.

FOUND DEAD.
h Body OF strsRxeF-r~s Thee
ries Regarding In Death


Yesterday afternoon word was
brought to the city that the dead body
of a eolored man was lying out
near Lake Mah-pah-lu-tah. Officers
Thomson and Nolan went out and
found the body. It was sitting on the
ground against the fence of the old
race track. They saw that it was the
body of q white man. but the corpse
had turned black because the mar bad
died four or five days ago. In life the
man was about 40 years old. wore a
light mustach; no beard. Was heavy
set. Had on black hat and coat, and
o~veralls, the latter being tucked into
his boots.
The officers mentioned notified Cor.
oner Lee, who had the body brought
into the city and held an inquest. The
following named persons were sum
moned as jurors: w. P. Carroll, J. L.
Smith, J.T. Chafin, R. II. Kip, G. E.
Houghton and j. d. Corey.
Several witnesses were examined,
among them DIR. Corey, who gave it as
his opinion that the man had beer
killed by lightning. The body has been
burned and ~blistered, which substan-
tiates this theory.
Another theory is that the man wa
killed by a load of duck shot. There
are a number of small holes which re.
semble those made by duck shot. A
doubt existing in the minds of the jury,
caused them to appoint a committee to
inspect the fence against which the
deceased was found; they also author
lied the coroner to have a post morten
examination made. They then ad-
journed until Monday morning.
The committee went out to the old
race track and found the spot where
deceased was found. In the boards Of
the fence there was a quantity of fresh
duck shot. This seems to sustain the
theory of killing. The boards were
brought back to the city.
Meanwhile DIR. Corey probed the
supposed shot wounds, and says that he
found no shot and does not believe
there are any in the mans face and
head.
The coroner had the body Temporal.
rily Inferred last evening as it was ex
tremely offensive to the smell.
There was only one thing on the body
OF the deceased that gave a clue to his
identity, and that was a small memo
randum book. on the fly leaf of which
was written the name of John Nc
Grath.
1t Is thought that by tomorrow the
mystery surrounding the deceased
stranger will be unraveled.
