Special Correspondence to the Globe.
Thus far there has been discovered no
clue of the resurectionists who raised the
body two weeks since, although large re-
wards have been offered for their apprs-
hension. 1t is believed, however, that the
body -snatchers came from Minneapolis
and removed the stiff to that place, but
whether with or without local aid, is still
mystery.
Quite general feeling of satisfaction
is manifested over the action of Gov. Hub
bard in pardoning John j. Ring, default
ing county treasurer of Scott county, who
will, under the terms of the committed
sentence, be discharged about Fob. 5.
There will probably be quite demonstra
ton upon MS return here.
While there are some we'll inform
persons here who believe that Treasurer
Ring was dishonest, the general impress
sion Gas evidenced by the very strong petit
ton upon which the governor acted seems
TO be shat his Gin was more incompetency
than dishonesty, and that others profted
by his lack Of business capacity and good
natured and accommodating disposition.
A few days since the papers in very
important case were served, which is des-
tined to create great sensation when it
comes to trial tits no less than $4,000
libel suit and is supported by a mass of
documental evidence which rumor says is
hard to gainsay. There are also likely to
be some sensational developments it the
case and the domestic relations of some
of the interested parties are liable to 10
somewhat shaken. As the defendant is a
man of wealth, it will be very interesting
case.
The new jail and sherif's residence built
the past season is very fine building and
credit to the county. The building cost
$4,000, and was built to hold the class of
tenants usually found in buildings of that
class. This, with the fine new school
house, the court house and numerous
churches, all Of which occupy command
ing positions make Shakopee look like
thrifty city as it is. One more needed
Institution is = city hall and engine house
anda fire steamer. It is reported that
bill viii soon be introduced Into the legis-
lature allowing the city to bond in the
sum of $1,000 for this latter purpose.
The fine new brick bleck of Refs d
Dougherty at the corner of First and
Holmes streets, is fine structure, fifty
five by sixty-four feet, containing two
stores below, one of which the owners oc'
cup7 as hardware store, while the second
story eighteen feet high, is the clear, is
being, finished an an opera
house. Il has seating ca
pacity Of $50 and besides
the large, broad stairway has two outside
fire escapes and stage escape, SO that
calamity by fire is impossible, which would
entm loss of life. In the matter of light,
heat, ventilation and frst-class stage and
appointments the owners have consulted
convenience and comfort rather. than
desire to build as cheap as possible.
This meets need long experienced, and
companies can now make this city one of
their list of good towns TO go to. The intro
duction of the bill by the legislature to
defray the expenses of the smallpox
plague and consequent quarantine which
the southeastern part of this county ex-
perienced last harvest calls to
mind the heroic exertions of DR.. G. II.
Dunn of this city to stamp out the direful
scourge. AT the first call the gallant gen
tleman plunged into the midst of it, and
with almost ceasless and extraordinary
exertions, at last gained the mastery. For
weeks he never left the infected
region, sleeping what little he
did in country school house and person
ally attending to the posting of guards
and other quarantine regulations, taking
his meals as best he could get them and
visiting and treating the unfortunate vic
tins but in the end achieving the victory.
The doctor is reaping a deserved reward
in the confidence and esteem of the en-
tire community.
