1t seems that when the Mower county
jail at Austin crumbles Always it is not
the fine new court house there, as the
Jail IS separate building. We are
| pleased to correct the error we made in
an item published a few weeks since.
and it gratifes us to hear tn at the court
house is as solid las the everlasting hills"
With commendable generosity We an
nounce ourselves as willing to be for
given.-Albert Lea Enterprise.
You show good spirit, friend Luce,
and we will forgive you. if you will
promise not to do so again.
Last Sunday afternoon, about two
o'clock, sad event occurred IN the town
of Window, in the fatal injury of Charles

Austin. He was out hcrding stock, when
his horse stumbled and fell, throwing the
boy to the ground, and rolling over him.
He was unconscious until o'clock, when
he breathed lis last. He was 10 years
old. and was employed at the time of the
accident on the farm of Winfield Benton.
Our sympathies are extended to the be-
reaved parent.
