Yesterday the greatest part of the "Old
Folks base ball teams were lame and sore,
especially in the arms and understandings One
had bad kink in his back, and found it impos-
sible to lift anything from the ground. However,
they all declare that they are ready for another
game, and no doubt they will be gratifed. There
is nothing like good game of ball.
Yesterday morning Mr.. E. S. Brown, president
of the Transfer company,w was on Chestnut street
making arrangements for the opening of the side
drain across their tracks, as during heavy rain
the tracks are inundated and cellars in the neigh
borhood flooded. The opening of the ditch was
brought up at meeting of the city council and
the engineer ordered to report thereon.
DR.. j. W. Davis, who has been in the neigh
borhood for the past two years from Fort Madi-
son, was killed at Albert Lea on Friday. Dan
Dobson, his brother-in-law, left here Friday for
Albert Lea, but did not make connections at St.
Paul and did not reach Albert Lea until yester-
day at noon. Mrs. Dobson left with him, but the
shock of her brothers death was too much and
she returned from ST. Paul. No particulars ar
rived up to late last evening. DIR. Davis had been
in poor health and was unable to practice for the
past two years. He was in this section in search
| of health.
| 1t may be claimed that Saltwater is much
duler than it was year ago, but it is not dull
in proportion to any other city in the state, not
excepting st. Paul and Minneapolis, as they are
this year compared with last. We really. there
| fore, have nothing to complain of in comparison
| to our neighbors. In week or two the Flor
ence mill will be running full blast, and by that
time the farmers will be through with threshing
| and grain will command as good price here as
in Minneapolis, as flour car be shipped from this
| point east as cheaply as from any other place,
| and as the flour of this mill stands second to
none market is guaranteed We see nothing
in the future to be frightened at Things will
come out all right.
Yesterday morning at the municipal court. be-
fore Associate Judge Ewing, the case of VIM.
| Gianera, the Italian who took the garment from
the clothes line at Mr.. John McKusick's was
| tried. Officer Walter testified to the finding of
| the article in question, aud the prisoner being
| asked what he had to say, SAID he was willing to
pay for the things that were found at his place.
| He said he took the garment from the line at Mr..
! McKusicks, but the other articles he found in
the street, they having been blown off the clothes
| line, and no one was there to claim them. The
| judge thought this apology was too thin, and as
| it was his first otfense he found him SIS and
| costs, but told him that next time he would get
| the full penalty provided There is very fine
chids dress awaiting a claimant found at his
| house. 1t is beautifully embroidered in front,
with large number of plaits around the long
skirt. Mrs. Brush lost such one, but has not
yet been to identify this Gianera paid his fine.
