Il brother Of d. Morrill,, arrived in
Morris last week.
\ large flock Of fat turkeys halted
in front OF the VNlRUNE office last
week and gave everybody, from the
devil down, y fine sercnade. We pre-
sumo it was done to rcmindus of the
approaching Thanksgiving day. There
is probably no prospect for a call
from any Of those birds on Thanks
giving day when one would be appre-
ciated most.
Warren w. Matthews, an expert
gave an exhibition OF his fancy skat-
ing at the Norris Roller Rink last
Saturday evening before q large num-
Der of patrons of the rink. Although
not graceful or easy skater, he is
justly styled an expert and is perfect
ly at home on roller skates. He ska
ted large number Of figures and per-
formed u number of very difficult
feats. He fully met expectations.
One day last Week NJ. lago and G.
Doty caught q fox. Intending to have
some sport 4 number OF men, with
horses and dogs, went TO the Fair
grounds anG turned the fox loose en-
pecting 10 have Il chase. Bat the fox
had evidently been injured and could
not run as it was caught AND killed by
the dogs immediately after being
turned loose. The chase terminated
too suddenly to be very interesting.
Rev. H. G. Bible of Sank Centre
preached in the Methodist church at
this place last Sunday morning and
evening. But few Methodist minis
ters have been longer in the work in
Minnesota than Mr.. Bible. Heis one
of the standbys. His sermons are of
the most practical nature, are given
i'll the simplest language and are al
ways interesting. Large audiences
listened to him here both morning
and evening.
Olive Branch The proorietors of
the MoOrland farm are having all the
buildings Oh that estate north of the
railroad removed to the vicinity of
the Moorland Mansion. The Wright
house, the Sanders's house and barns,
and several others will be moved
which together with the mansion,
the creamery and the six or eight
barns will give it quite the appear
ance of Il city, in fact make it the best
and most valuable set Of buildings on
any one farm in the United States.
The Morris Silver Cornet Baud is at
present in !; disorgauized state. They
have but one cornct player now and
number OF the players OF ether instru-
ments are away from town. The band
has not had, for some time, sufficient
support to enable it to pay expenses
and under these circumstances its
members do not feel like going TO the
expense necessary to again complete
all organization. This is hardly as it
should be, and does not speak we'll for
the thrift and enterprise of our city,
A band should be enumerated among
the necessities III any city and it
should receive a hearty support. We
hope that something will be done
which will enable the Morris band to
reorganize and be once more in posi-
ton to supply the musical needs of the
place.
On Wednesday evening of last week
Anton I4Oehr led two would he high
waymen an exciting race. He had
just arrived from Larimore ID. t., up
on the L. F. & D. train, and had star
ted for his home, west of Morris, on
foot. When about mile from town
he heard hurried footsteps behind
him. Listening, he soon learned that
two men were after him and the large
amount of money he had with him.
Throwing off his coat and vest he
started for home as fast rs lie could go
and the two men gave chase. Mr..
Ioehr led them until he REACHED the
residence OIL. II. Wellington, where
the would be robbers gave up the
race. Mr.. Loehf owes the safety of
himself and his cash to his speed.
He thinks his pursuers had followed
him from Larimore. but can not in
any way identify them.
