Attorney McMahon Oh Tuesday closed trade
with Mr.. Francis S. Morgan for the northwest
quarter of section II and the northeast quarter
OF section 10, 145, 81. There is two hundred
acres ready for crop. Mr.. Morgan, who is re-
Gently from Michigan, will erect dwelling
and other buildings and become residsnt Of
Steele county. The consideration paid was
$500.
A bridge has been crested over the stony
cooie on the line between sections 2S and S3,
145, 56. The work was performed by road
districts Nos. u and IA, and while not as sub

hauling over the road would seem to demand,
yet it will be found decided improvement
ever the old crossing by farmers hauling grain
this fall.

twenty long, the crops were entirely destroyed
by hail. 1t is estimated that the loss will az
gregate 1000 acres. This storm, it will be
