Morris tribune., 1882-12-14

DIR. G. f. Hale arrived on Tuesday
afternoon and for the next week or ten
days, those having troublesome molars
can find quick relief by calling upon
him. His office is at the Metropolitan
Iotel.
c. p. Maginnis, sheriff, returned
from the vicinity of Pembina, ID. T.,
OH Tuesday, with J. w. Works who
was indicted by the grand jury at the
last term of court, for forgery. Mr.
w. will now have to wait the next
session of court when his guilt or in
nocence will be shown.
Since the fire, Good & Brisbine have
been using Mars Bros. building for
warehouse. The stock of furniture
saved from the burning and other
goods are being stored in it.
An effort is being made by those in
Graceville, who are charitably dis
posed, to raise purse for the benefit
of the family of the late Dennis Nc
Carthy, who was accidentally shot
near that place last Fall.
The lot now occupied by Watson d
Leonard was purchased by G. w.
Rohne, last Saturday, for 81 500. The
buildings will be moved off in the
Spring, when Mr.. Rohne expects to
build fine brick building, which will
be occupied when completed by the
CITY Drug Store.
Preliminary arrangements were
made last Sabbath for Christmas
tree in the Methodist church on Christ
mas evening. 1t is expected to have
few very brief addresses, plenty of
music, both instrumental and vocal,
and, in short, an attractive programme
throughout and general good time.
Rev. J. +. Chaffee, presiding elder
upon this district of the Minnesota
Conference, will preach at the Meth
odist Church next Monday evening.
Mr.. Chaffee is forcible and effective
speaker, and no doubt large number
| will avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty to hear him.
HI. w. Stone, Jr., left for Chicago on
Monday for the purchase of rollers for
the Riverside Mill. One set of rollers
has been in use in the mill during the
summer and marked Improvement
| in the grade of the flour has been the
result. Now it is proposed to discard
stone entirely and to use rollers ex-
clusively, thus making the mill as
good as the best, capable of producing
the finest grades of flour.
The quiet of last Sabbath morning
was disturbed for a short time by a
spirited runaway by Rev. Ole Olson's
team. The team made tracks rapidly
on the prairies west of town for a
short time, then came down 7th street
to pacific avenue, turning around the
block down 9th street at about the
rate of full-grown blizzard, leaving
the cutter at the Congregational
church in about the same condition
that the world was in while yet ''tne
darkness was upon the face Of the
deep" No one hurt.
Misfortunes never come singly. Al
the time of the fire valuable dog wa:
about all that w. I. Summers sue
ceeded in saving. Last week he los
even that, and considerable searching
and a trip to Sank centre was tn
price of its recovery. Just after re
turning to Morris, his fine seal ski
, cap was stolen while he was at suppe
in the hotel. Mr.. Summers is almos
: ready to think that fate has decree,
! that he must loose everything befor
he will be permitted to make any ad
; vancement in the gaining of thi
: worlds goods again.
At the last meeting of the Villag
l Council, the President appointe
Councillors Larson and Stone a com
Y mittee to visit Chicago for the pul
e pose of selecting and purchasing fiji
7 engine with hose for the use of th
D village. Considerable of correspond
y ence has already passed between di
ferent dealers in fire apparatus an
the council, SO that all that remain
r to be done now, is to test the varior
}. engines, determine where the best al
o paratus can be obtained on the mo:
e reasonable terms, and complete til
purchase. That additional fire app,
}, ratus is needed, none will deny; thu
the people of Morris are willing to pa
- for it was proven at the special ele,
= ton where special tax was voted fl
: the purpose, and that we are to ha,
it without further delay is strongly il
Dictated by the action of the council
Z This additional apparatus will be full
:, appreciated by those interested, and
~ Morris is again visited by fire her cit
g zens will be better able to fight it.
