to his shoe shop by this side of this
office, with a view to put in a stock
of goods. We are glad to see Mr..
G. making deserved progress.
Several of the good rifle shots
of the city enjoyed a tur-
key shoot Monday afternoon, Wash
ington's birthday, on the river.
We believe the Ingram boys and E.
w. Milburn furnished the turkeys,
twelve in number, the shooting dis.
tance being forty rods. Chris Gard
ner got three; G. W. Houghton,
one; Chas. E. Wolfe, one; F. B.
Reynolds, two; Thos. Connolly,
three; Milo Ingram, one; E. w. Mil
burn. one. The wind blew sharp
and chilly from the north which fact
undoubtedly rendered off-hand
shooting difficult, and prolonged the
contest.
Fred Aberle of Alexandria, Min
nesota, in the city the past week
has purchased the Wahpeton brew
cry establishment. Mr.. Aberle is
an experienced man at the business,
and we wish him every success.
Mr.. Huppeler, the out going propri-
etor is likewise an experienced man
and has made very good success
of the business. It would save to
Wahpeton many thousands of dol
lars annually could the present
brewery be so improved and en-
larged as to hold goodly portion
of the patronage Wahpeton bestows
upon the eastern manufacturers of
beer. It is said that Fargo pro-
duces its own beer and that it is a
splendid make. The same thing
should be done at Wahpeton, and
we presume Mr.. Aberle proposes to
make big push to that end.
Monday afternoon NJ. O. johnson,
and postmaster at DIV light,
met with painful accident in front
of Seely's opera house, this city.
He was in his cutter drawn by two
horses, accompanied by his wife and
a gentleman. and in turning in the
street, overturned the cutter, a two
seated vehicle, and horses becoming
frightened, jumped about codsider-
ably, in which confusion Mr.. John
son had his right shoulder dislocat-
ed. DIR. Swaine was at once called
and getting into the cutter, with
Mr.. ] ohnson and wife and the driv-
er, directed all to be driven to his
infirmary, where he readily replaced
the bones, and Mr.. johnson was
driven home. Mr.. Johnson's many
friends in Wahpeton hope that he
will soon be himself again. 1t was
a very painful thing to him.
Prof. Braun and c. Z. IIinman
furnished music for a remarkably
successful masquerade ball at Camp
bell, Monday evening in honor of
Washington's birthday. Mr.. Hin
man says Campbell is the most sat
isfactory place in this section to
play for dances, and their dances
are the most successful of any he
attends. The people discountenance
all uncalled for formality and 60 in
to have good time. They make a
stranger feel at home, and above all
good music and let one
know they appreciate it. Yes, at
tend dance at Campbell if you
want to have good time. On this
occasion there were Is couples
masked, and after IL o'clock 100
couples chased the fleeting hours to
the gray morning light. The enter
tainment was for the assistance of
a new cornet band being organized
there. The boys are learning fast,
Charlie says.
The editor of that we'll behaved
and bright little paper, the Forman
Item, of Sargent county, seems to
have attended the revival at Minor,
helped on by Rev. Mr.. Troy of this
city, recently, and on returning
home writes up Minor notes, from
which we clip the following: "On
Thursday evening we had the pleas
ure of listening to an able discourse
Dy rev. Troy, ana the following
day the greater pleasure of becom-
ing personally acquainted with this
popular and eloquent divine. Mr..
Troy is a young man not more than
q. and is evidently such a liberal
minded gentleman as makes friends
wherever he makes an acquaintance.
His oratorical powers are wonderful
for one SO young, being eloquent
without effort, logical in his argu-
ments, and possessing the happy
faculty of always holding the stead
fast attention of his audience.
