Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1882-10-23

of the average Wahpetonite is consequent
ly enlarged. The village of Breckenridge
has notably improved during the past sea-
son. A fine court house and good school
house have both been erected. The Hyser
Bros. are building an upright part to
their hotel. A new bank has
been opened and business in
all lines of trade has received an impetus
that is very encouraging. Wilkin county
has improved also during the past year.
There is abundant fall, with a very little
ditching to relieve the country adjacent to
the river of the surplus water, and great
body Of it will be let off by the bitches of
the new road before mentioned. The
Breckenridge flats, once thought to be
worthless, are fast becoming valuable, and
as they become settled and improved, they
become drier, ,and are in fact veryproductive.
The people of this town are all Kindred
except the Norwegian postmaster. The
name of Tashburn has no dulcet sound to
their ears, and were there no other reasons
for their not supporting the ''little Norwe-
gian bolter,' the fact that Washburn de-
sires his election is enough to cause every
voter in this town to vote solid against
him. Washburn, by the way, remarked
recently to gentleman in his
Office in Minneapolis, that he sswould
rather be defeated at home
than see Mr.. Nelson beaten in the Fifth
district" ''that Mr.. Nelson was a friend"
and he ''would help him with his money
if necessary" No doubt, no doubt. If he
(Washburn) we're defeated as long as the
president is Republican he would con-
tinue to hold the patronage despite the
election of his Democratic competitor,
but we're Mr.. Nelson to be beaten then
good bye to his Red lake pine land steal,
as the young man from Brain
erd if elected proposes to set down on
Sweet Williams little job. Knute and his
gang propose to have ralley here on the
Gath bat it will be loves labor lost, for
every voter here is thoroughly posted AID
their usual slang and abuse Of Mr.. Kin
dred wont win here. DR.. Bert Robertson
is to speak here some day next week in the
interest of the regular nominee for
congress and will have full house.
l had conversation to-day with an eye
witness of the duel fought number of
years ago by h. L. (Thundering) Gordon,
of Minneapolis, and the brother of the
woman he (Gordon) was living in adultery
with. Gordon, it seems, had been warned re-
peatedly by the woman's brother to discon-
tinue his infamous relations with her, but
still persisted, and the night before the fight
he brought her to Monticello. Had not the
brother aforsaid been badly intoxicated
laundering Gordon would not now be
alive to disgrace society. Later, when
Gorden wanted to marry, it is said to have
cost him $1,000 to buy off from his para
mour.
That is the kind of dirty tools employed
to abuse the regular nominee and elect the
little Norwegian bolter. NIB. The Mel
son gang had better drop Gordon off at
some flag station when they come here,
for his class of man won't be appre-
ciated.
By the way, it is said that Gordon is to
manage the Red lake pine steal if Knuty
is elected and the bill of Washburn passes
and that the old tactics of bidding in all
and paying for only odd quarters is to be
carried out SO that there will be an oppor-
tunity for the loggers to steal the other
half as the gang of pine thieves have SO
often done before.
The GLOBE, in its enlarged form and its
new dress and with its special news facili-
ties, is well received at Breckenridge and
fully appreciated and will hereafter rank
as frst-class daily despite the jealous
sneers of the Minneapolis daily printed at
st. Paul. Regular trains are now running
between this place and Wadena via Fergus
Falls.
