New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1885-11-11
SLEEPY EYE CORRESPONDENCE.

Sleepy Eyes getting TO be quite
metropolitan, two pugilistic encounters
having occurred here last week.
Chas. Hughes, Of Leavenworth, has
been very sick, but under the care of
DR.. Welcome he is improving slowly,
although the doctor says he is not yet
intirely out Of danger.
DIR. Wechsler was called to Lam
berton last Saturday on professional
business.
The Catholic fair held here last
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
closing Wednesday evening, proved a
grand success and netted the congre-
cation goodly amount Of cash.
The Sleepy Eye Creamery is closed
for the winter and the manager, VIM.
NJ. Murfin, has gone on a visit to friends
in Ohio.
Mark Cane and wife have gone on
visit to friends in Burlington, Iowa.
On his return Mr.. Cane expects to en-
gage in his old business as tonsorial
artist.
We were visited last Friday by
drilling rain which made business
rather dull and the streets lawfully
muddy. Quite little snow fell Satur-
day morning, but was melted as soon
as it reached the ground.
Last Sunday Mr.. Gallagher, in the
absence of the pastor, occupied the pull
pit of the Congregational church, and
read an excellent sermon on the pre-
eminence of Christ. He done as we'll in
his new role as majority of the regu-
larly ordained ministers, and we are
not sure that Mr.. Gallagher has not
made mistake in choosing his calling
ID. C. Evans of Mankato was in
town one day last week looking after
tract Of land recently purchased by him
in Prairieville, from a party in La
Crosse, Wis. Mr.. Evans traded proper
ty in La Crosse for the land, showing
his confidence in this part of the coun-
try. We predict that his confidence
will not be misplaced, as Prairieyille
is fast coming to the front.
The Sleepy Eye Circulating Library
is doing a good deal Of work in q quiet
way, spreading its benefcent influence
over the village and surrounding coun.
try and giving all who desire it, good
reading matter at mere nominal cost.
There has been some talk of or
CANNING q literary society here. Such
a society if properly conducted would
furnish no little amusement and
chance for great deal Of improvement
for its members. We hope due encour-
agement will be given It and society
organized that will be a benefit to all.
Some one had the audacity to help
himself to q quantity of grain from
the granary Of Christ Nelson, farmer
living about mile and half West of
Town. Whoever took the grain was
very successful in covering his retreat,
as no traces Of the thief could be found.
Quite little excitement has been
worked up in the southern part of the
county by the settlers attempting to file
on lands claimed by the Railroad Com
panies. AS might be expected under
the circumstances, they went at it in a
manner, and as matter of
course if any of the occupied lands are
eventually declared to be subject to en-.
try, there will be plenty Of neighbor-
hood quarrels. This matter has been
brewing for several years and it is
thought that it is at last approaching
The crisis which will cause its final adj
justment There is no doubt that
here are many tracts which should and |
will eventually go to the settler; but
hat the loss of the railroad companies
will be as sweeping as some claim, is
extremely doubtful.
