HOrnbrOOk'S Park.
The property Bought by Mr.. Conner
for a Syndicate Of Sir.

AS announced last week, the fine
property known far and near as
"Hornbrook's Park" was put up at
public sale Saturday by the heirs
of the original owner, the late Col.
Thomas Hornbrook, who did not
find it profitable investment, and
did not care to continue as owners
at an annual loss. Councilman w.
ii. Halter was employed as auction
eer, and for while the bidding
was spirited, the principal bidders
being Mr.. c. w. Conner and Mr..
Frank Walter. After it had been
run up to the neighborhood of S24,-
600, halt was called. Mr. Walter
wanted an opportunity to consult
with his associates in the matter.
Mr.. Walter not knowing Mr.. Con-
ner, had accused Mr.. Bedilion,
father-in-law of Mr.. Charles Horn
brook, of bidding it up through Mr..
Conner in the interest of the es-
tate, which he with some warmth
denied. Mr.. Walter then left, to
consult his associates. After some
parley, Hon. J. J. Woods was auth
orized to continue the bidding for
them, but he arrived on the spot just
in time to see the property knock
ed down to Mr.. Conner at his last
bid of $4,000.
After the sale was made, howev-
er, several of the five other geatle-
men associated with Mr.. Conner
expressed dissatisfaction at the
price paid, whereupon he had the
bill of sale made to him individual
iy, took the keys, and yesterday
visited the Park and took formal
possession Of it.
Mr.. Reymann was very much put
out by the turn Of affairs, and was
very indignant at every person
who had anything to do with the
purchase. This, however, does not
trouble Mr.. Conner, who said to
the reporter last evening that he
considered that he had a good in
vestment in the property at the
price paid.
Considerable interest is felt in
the purchase by the public. Those
who live near the Park would re-
greet to see it become a cemetery,
though most of them would prefer
to have it a cemetery rather than
beer garden. 1t is said that the in
tention of Mr.. Walter and his asso-
ciates was not to make beer gar
den of it, but to conduct it as an
unobjectionable place of amuse
ment, very much as it has been run
in the recent past. If used thus,
the public would certainly be the
gamer, and the hope is generally
expressed that it may remain re-
sort for the public, where residents
of the city may breathe the fresh
air.
The ground on which the Park
now is was purchased by Mr.. Horn
brook in 1858, and he at once began
to improve and beau ify it, though
it was not for years in the beautiful
condition he left it at his death,
and its use as public park began
in very recent years. Wheeling IN

county last fall and are making for

Oak, which is just on" county west Of

the road must bear almost due north to
reach Fargo.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis, which
is now built to the vicinity OF Redwood
Falls, would have to be extended prob
ably 20 or 50 miles west of that place
to connect with this line to Kampcska
The Burlington folks, or rather the
Rock Island, are now looking up two
routes, one from Wortllington to Fargo
and one from Worthington to Dead
wood. The Fargo line seems to he al
ready assured and the Dpadw wood line
quite probable. Me;srs. Dows and
Ives have just Teen over the route to
that city. The Rock Island is abun-
dainty able to put the road through,

WRONGS DONE THE INDIANS.

The following item we clip from a
recent issue of the Boston Herald. We
arc pleased to see that Mrs. r. F.
Humiston is engaged in the good work
of securing hearing for tie Red Man:
In the rar'ors Of Hotel Winthrop,
last evening, Princess Sara Winnemuc-
ca OF the Piute tribe Of Nevada told a
tale of the sutferings of her people,
through the fraudulent dealings of In
dian agents and others, that reminded
the listener of u chapter from 6 A Cen
tury of DishOnor.' The gathering was
under the charge of Mrs. Hnmiston
and Mrs. Helen 3. Cole, as committee
of the Indian association recently form
ed. She Was introduced by DIR. Bu-
chanan of Boston University. She
spoke excellent English, with hardly
perceptible Indian accent. She told of
the insincerity of many of the mission.

tact with her people, asking why they

agents and white men do in the far
West how they steal the Indians land
how they deprive them of the govern
ment supplies; how they ruthIessly tear
the babes from the mothers breast;
| how they insult the virtue of the Indian
girls, and virtue is as precious a jewel
among the Piutes as here in Boston.
For these eutrages the Indians take up
arms, and never an Indian raid was
made but what was brought about by
such causes as these. have asked the
agents why they did these wrong things.

them to do SO in order to get money

GOING TO LII yErNE


The Luverne Herald of last week
contains this important piece of rail
road news:
Railroad reports from what may be
regarded as reliable source, give as
surances to the effect that the Burling-
toR, Cedar Rapids & Northern road.
now completed to Worthington, will be-
built to Luverne this summer and ex-
tended from this point northwestwartl
in the direction of Dell Rapids. 1t is
understood that the Burlington COM
pany have lease of the w. & 8. +.
branch but have decided not to use it
and will build an independent line of
their own, thus giving Luverne the ,ad
vantage of competition between the
Omaha road and i direct line to Chica-
20. This report, if well substantiated,

not fail to result in great advantage to

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.


The press of the State is beginning to
call public attention to the fact that
some very important amendments to
the State constitution are to be sub
mitted to the people at tire coming fall
election, relating to the holding Of gen
eral elections biennially after the ye.r
1884.
Under the provisions of the amend
ment all State and county officers
elected this fall, for two years, will
hold over until January I, 1857, or for
a term of three years. The State Au-
ditor and Clerk of the Supreme Court,
We believe, are excepted, as their terms
are fixed at fonr years.
This amendment will add unusual
interest to our county election the
coming fall, as We elect Auditor, Treas.
urer, Register OF Deeds, Sheriff, Super
jntendent of Schools, Probate Judge,
and Coroner, who will have three
years term ifthe amendment is adopted.

That it is an electrical phenomenon

as most Q: the facts connected with it
sustain this theory. There is Il neticc-
able uniformity it the statement that
lit came from the soutl,west'' where
the cyclone wanders into the more
lortherly sections. 1t is met by cur
rent OF colder air from the northwest
or north and then the whirlng mon
ster is formed. 1t is well therefore to
take the alarm wien a storm is seen
driving up from the southwest and an
other current moving down from the
northwest. When they meet there will
lie 4 battle of the elements and the man
who gets into the cellar will be wiser
than the man who is caught out.
