an editor at the scene of the great Indian
massacre of 1862 and writes Republican ed

Ex-Collector of Customs BoOkwalter of
Blue Earth county was in the city. He
said that lie had recently taken a trip
through the Red river valley and was sur
prised to see the advanced appearance of
vegetation. In nearly all the farms the
seeding had been completed and in many
cases the young wheat was above ground,
green and tourishing. In all his eX-
perience in Minnesota, and he has
been here for twenty-five years,
he had never known such an early
breaking up of winter as during the
present spring. He said that in other
years short season of real warm weather
in the early days of April was invariably
followed by a storm, after which the
weather became chilly, not to say wintry.
Storms, during the present warm weather,
had not been followed by any such atmos-
pheric changes.
