The Eloping Lotz Not in Business With
His Brothers.
HE IS TRACED TO DULUTH.
Social Movements of the People of the
City During the Past Week.

The prevalent idea that j. D. Lott,
whose recent elopement with domestic
created such sensation in Saltwater,
was member of the firm of Lott Bros.
is erroneous. The business of j. D. Lotz
was managed entirely by himself and
without partner. The firm of Lott Bros.
comprises Peter, Harrison and John
Lott, whose names and regulations
should not be tarnished by this mad
escapade of their infatuated brother,
over whose sin they express the most
profound sorrow and regret. They
have promptly taken charge of the
business abandoned by the fugitive,
which they will continue to conduct
for the benefit of his deserted wife, for
whom they, as we'll as the whole COM
munity, feel the warmest sympathy.
and who is in every respect worthy of
the esteem in which she is held. The
fleeing pair have been traced to Duluth,
and a warrant having been procured,
the chief of police of that city has been
telegraphed for their arrest. and within
a day or two they may be returned to
Saltwater for such action as the law
may provide.
A new cornet band has been formed.
Now let us have some music.
Miss Ella Gallihee, of st. Paul, has
been a guest of her sister, Mrs. r. j.
Welch, on South Third street.
Gold L. Curtis, formerly bookkeeper
of Samuel Matthews & Co., now a resi-
dent of New York city, is visiting this
city.
Mr.. and Mrs. RIM. Anderson have been
to Chicago on few days visit.
Mrs. Will Bromley returned on Friday
from Hampton, To-, where she has been

Miss Lillian Staples, who has been
visiting her brother, Otis Staples, for
several months, returned to her home in
New Brunswick on Tuesday.
Capt. w. G. Bronson went down yes

campment at Lake City.

the Historic Grant Farm.
Special to the Globe.
ST LOUIS, June 21.-The historiclfarm
of Gen. U. S. Grant, situated four miles
west of this city and containing 75O
acres, was sold to-day to Capt. L. 81.
Connan, an eX-Confederate, for 100000.
This is known as the old Grant
farm, on which Grants frather-in-
law lived for nearly half a century and
which was the home that President
Grant occupied between 1854 and 1860
He was very poor at that time and went
into the forest to chop trees to build a
log house for his family, which is still
standing. After the war, and
when he was president of
the United States he bought the entire
farm and some adjoining property, and
tried to establish stock farm, which
proved failure. During the financial
embarrassment of Grant IL Ward in 1884
he mortgaged his tfarm to W. II. Van
derbilt, whose representative at present
is Chauncey M. Depew. Depew grew
tired of the delayed payments and to-
day, through his representatives here.
Judge S. N. Breckenridge, Phil
Lanban and E. S. Rowse disposed of
the historic property to Mr.. COnnan,
the Kentuckian, who will establish on
it a fancy stock farm. Grant owned
nearly 200 acres of land along the south
ern limits of the city, which is still in
the hands of his creditors, but upon
which Connan has secured an option.
