The storm, however, passed over with
out doing any serious damage. The
weather fan on the Lutheran church
steeple was badly bent over. Toberer's
jewelry store sign was waited away, q
small portion OF the iron root on
Pfeferle's store was dlslod gsd q few
exposed outhouses toppled over, and
numerous trees broken of aud blown
down. In the country considerable
damage was done to grain In shocks
and in stacks. The storm came from !,
northWesterly direction. But very lit.
tie rain fell in this immediate vicinity
but to the west and northwest Of l,s
much water must have fallen. What
little water that did fall here must
have been sucked out Of a fish pond as
the air became most awfully fishy.
A terrible crime was recently COM
mitted on the Winona & St. Peter
railroad, near Dodge Center. by six
tramps who We're stealing a ride on a
freight train. At Dodge Center they
persuaded a young Swede to come in
to their car, because it would not cost
him anything. He accepted their in
vitation, and Immediately after the
train got under motion the tramps
robbed him of his valise and all of his
money and then threw him out Of the
car while The train was in full motion.
AS the caboose sped by the PROSTATE
form the conductor heard the call for
help and at once saw that something
was wrong. He Immediately pulled
out the coupling pin, thereby dis
connecting the cabOose from the
train. He picked the young man
up and found the feshnearly
all torn off from the calf of his
left leg, exposing the bones and knee
cap, the skin also being cut above the
knee to the body. The absence of the
caboose was not noticed until the
train reached Kasson, and the train
backed up to the caboose. AS soon as
that was reached Conductor Milliken
closed all the doors Of the car con-
tanning the tramps, detailed two men
to watch the car, then backed the
train to Dodge Center, where the
wounded man was taken care of by
the citizens of that place. The tramps
are hard crew, and should the in
jured man die they will be handled
roughly by the justly indignant people
of Dodge Center.

County Politics.

At the election in November sue.
cess0rs are to be chosen to the present
incumbents of the Offices of county at.
torney, auditor, register Of deeds,
judge of probate, clerk of the district
court, coroner and sheriff for Brown
county. Those offices are now filled as
follows:
County Attorney--B. F. Webber.
Auditor--H. B. Constans.
Register Of Deeds--A. F. Walton.
Judge of Probate--Ernst Brandt.
Clerk Of Court-Albert Blanchard.
Coroner--Jonas Laudenschlager.
Sheriff Edward Casey.
The first six are Republicans, and
elected as such; the last is 4 Democrats
although elected as an independent.
TheRepublican nominating convention
has been called for Saturday,
Sept. 10th, when ii. IS expected that all
but Mr.. Webber will be chosen their
own successors. 1t is also prob.
able that Ed. Casey may receive the
Republican nomination, no Republican
having as yet offered himself as a
candidate. For county attorney,
James NJ. Thompson, of Sleepy Eye,
and Jos. A. Eckstein, of New UIm,
are mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination, while Francis
Baasen seems to have it all to himself
in the Democratic camp; it has been
limited, though, that Frank L. Randall
will be trotted out in due time as the
candidate Of the young Democrats. II
there are any other candidates. for
any of the above named Offices we
have failed to hear Of them. It is not
improbable that by convention day
there will be no lack of candidates.
OF the most important offices to be
filled this fall are those of Senator and
Representative. For the former it
seems to be generally conceded that
Hon. S. D. Peterson will make sue.

The State statistician gives the aver
age yield per acre in Brown county as
follows: Wheat, $50 BUSH; oats,
1880 BUSH; Corn, q, Is bush.; Barley,
IL. 73 BUSH;
The number of apple trees growing
in 1881 is given as 6,7l4; of which
number 1926 produced 900 bushels of
apples. For the current year, 1000
apple trees are reported growing, of
which number 2,437 are fruit bearing;
Sigel township, however, fails to make
report OF this years growth of apple
trees,
The wine culture seems to be sadly
neglected. For the year 1879, 752
vines were reported growing, but the
assessors reports for 1881 show only
SO vines as bearing, while the reports
for the current year brings the number
down to 30. OF the SO fruit bearing
vines in 1881, the town of Sigel reports
8 vines producing 200 pounds of
grapes, while the other % vines pro.
duced only Is pounds of grapes.
The whole number Of acres of forest
trees reported as growing is 73O, of
which number 10Y acres were planted
this season. Only acres were plant
ed on eArbor DAY, and those in the
towns Of Eden and Stark. The town
Of Albin which has always reported
the largest number of tress on high.
ways, makes no report on trees at all
this year. OF the 7,7lO rods of trees
reported planted on highways, the
town of Eden lays claim to 1850 rods.
The rep0t gives the number of cows
for the year 1881 at 1902, the product
from which was 327, 67l pounds Of but.
ter ana $3.50 pounds of cheese. Sigel
appears to be the banner cheese pro.
ducing town in the county, the number
of pounds produced being given at
$500. Cottonwood takes the lead in
the butter column, having last year
produced 5l,ll0 pounds. OF sheep
there are 1884, from which 1858
pounds of wool were clipped.
81 hives of bees last year produced
only 1888 pounds of honey. 8 hives in
Leavenwortn are reported as produc.
ing 200 pounds, while Cottonwood
reports only % pounds of honey,
as the product from 50 hives. Either
the bees in the former town are re-.
markably busy or those in the latter
were unprecedentedly lazy during
1881.
The tobacco crop in 1881 is put down
at 275 pounds, as ageinst l,l4l in 1879
Burnstown, Cottonwood, North Star
Stark and Stately are the only tobacco
producing towns in the county.

Swan Samuelson, of the town of Cor.

accident last week Tuesday, which, it
is now feared, will terminate fatally.
Himself and son were engaged in MAX
ing some changes in the cutting gear
of the machine, Mr.. Samuelson, ST..
having one foot in front of the sickle.
The horses became frightened at some
thing and started up and in an instant
Mr.. SamuelsoD's right leg was cut
clear off. The horses were stopped by
the son before they had proceeded six
feet, but too late to avert the sad ca
lamity. After bandaging the leg,
the injured man was at once brought
ia this city,a distance of ten miles, aud
placed under the care of Drs. Berry
and Wakefield, who, on Wednesday,
made an amputation of the leg about
four inches below the knee. Mr.. Sam.
nelson's age (54), the terrible loss of
blood before he could be placed under
the care of surgeon, is against him.
At the present writing he is very low,
gangrene has set in and he refuses to
allow another operation to beperform,
ed, and even If he did. the doctors
say he could not survive it,.

The following summary is made Of
the acreage Of 1882 and 1881, as appor.
toned to the several products:

The assessors returns for 1879 show.
ed 78,27lA acres under cultivation,
and in 1880. 76,l09K acres were re.
ported as being under cultivation.
Thus it will be seen that the falling off
of cultivated land since then has been
nearly 20 per cent, which does not
speak very well for the growth of
Brown county. The last of the fore
going tables also showsa falling off of
1852 acres in the wheat column, but
this is mainly due to the unfayorable
season last fall. On the other hand,
the acreage to corn is nearly 100 per
cent. more than it was last year, while
all the other products show larger
acreage than 1881.
