wouldn't burn, or the tramps relented and
put out the fire.

The Herman Herald says: The first
sample of this years wheat crop comes
from the farm of W. 81. Hazard, the grain
having been cut on Wednesday of last

the grain would grade No. l in any mar
ket. ~

Ed. Mansfield, "Miae Host" of the
Mansfield house" in Austin, had beauti-
tiful surprise present from his dutiful
daughters and their husbands on a late
evening consisting of silver mounted
double harness. A movement is on foot

turned up in Lanesboro, Fillmore county,
Mimi, the other day, when his true destin.
alton was Lanesboro, Berkshire county,

venience of having so many towns of the
same name.
1t is proposed to have Noahs ark, re-
Gently found on Mount Ararat, brought
over and exhibited at the state fair at
Owatonna. Probably it will be done! 1t
will be a drawing card. Immense crowds
will flock to see this antediluvan wonder.
But no more buildings will be needed to
accommodate the crowd, as the ark itself
will afford room for all corners! See?
The Little Falls Sun says: The little girl
of Arnold Nagle's who got a stone in her
ear, mention of which was made in the Sun
last week, was taken to st. Paul, but after
the ear had been investigated by five sur
geons, it was decided that nothing could
be done for her at present, and she was
brought home to await developments

girl of Arnold Nagle, of Rich Prairie, who,
it will be remembered, got stone in her
ear some two weeks ago, is gradually fail
ing and hopes of her recovery are nearly
abandoned.
The buildings at Owatorna for the sta te
fair, destroyed by the cyclone are nearly
rebuilt, and will be ready on time. The
president, Mr.. Thompson, and his associ-
ate officials have been untiring in their
efforts. The inside work on the exhibition
building is nearly completed. The stalls
are up, but more have to be erected. The
track has been put in order. The amphi-
theatre has been built. 1t is $50 long with
twelve tiers of seats and will accommodate
from $500 to 5000 people. The local com:
mittee have nearly finished their work, but
the workmen will probably be kept busy
in erecting special buildings until the fair
opens. From the present outlook, there
will be the largest exhibition and the at
tendance in the history of the fairs of the
society. Four hundred stalls for cattle
and horses have already been erected and
an additional number are in process of
construction.

The other day Steve Rines shot Mart
Winberg, an old man living at Maple Ridge,
Isanti county. He fired twice. The first
ball, obstructed by pipe stem in his
pocket, only bruised his thigh. The Sec
ond ball, fired as the desperate turned to
run, entered the left side at the point of
the first short rib, passing forward within
the abdominal cavity in front of the stom-
ach. 1t appears that Rines wanted to
marry Winberg's daughter, but neither
she nor her father and family were will
