POLICE SWINDLES.
Officer Bills Compelled to Refund Money
-Other Police Implicated.

Other Police Implicated.
Considerable interest was awakened on
the streets Monday by the announce
ment that policeman had been guilty of
swindling. 1t appears that on Sunday,
September 80, Officer Bills of the city po-
lice force went into the house of Albert
Delyle on Battery street, and arrested him
for intoxication, telling him to appear in
the City Court the Monday following at 9
o'clock. The next morning Delyle went
to the officer 10 see him about the matter,
and after some talk Bills finally told him
if he would keep quiet he Bills would
take s. and settle it. Delyle finally con
sented to pay Bills the following Satur-
day rather than 90 into court, although
he protested he was not intoxicated at the
time of the arrest. When Satur-
money, and so did not see Bills.
Last Saturday Bills saw Delyle's brother
in-law, Charles Miller, and told him 10
tell Delyle that if he did not come around
with that IS he would snake him lDelylel
into the lookup. Miller delivered the
message and Delyle took Charles St,
Johns as a witness and went to Bills S
house and paid HIM the s. IN the presence
of ST. Johns in settlement of the case.
He received from Bills a receipt IN the
! following words:
| BURLINGTON, VT. Oct. l3, 1888.
Received of Albert Deyie So in iull. =,
| GEORGE BILLS"
Yesterday Delyle became convinced that
he had been swindled, and consulted j. j.
Emight, who took the receipt. Bills was
sent for by Mr.. Enright, and he immedi
ately refunded the money. This is not
the only instance nor is Bills the only man
on the force who has been settling cases
out of court, and the authorities are taking
the necessary steps to bring all such de

THE STEAM LAUNCH RACE,
An Exciting Contest Results in a Victory
for the Nymph.

for the Nymph.
The steam launch race between Com
modore Wetmores Dolphin and DR.. w.

forenoon, and it proved most exciting
contest The day could not have been
more favorable and the water was in a
good condition. There were considera-
BILE number of spectators present includ-
ing not few ladies. The course started
at a point in front of the Lake Cham
PLAIN Yacht club house and extended
thence to the Appletree point buoy,
then in straight line to the
buoy at Proctor shoal. and thence to
the starting point, a distance of about
seven miles. The starting gun was fired
at 10. 1871, and the launches crossed the
line as follows

Dolphin .......... ....................lO 10 5219
The Dolphin lost slightly before the APP.
pletree buoy was reached, and she la.
bored under a disadvantage from the fact
that her steering apparatus gave out a
short time after the start. After the APP
pletree buoy was rounded the launches
kept their relative distance the remainder
of the course, and the finish was as fol-
lows

There was no time allowance so that the
Nymph beat the Dolphin by lll5 seconds.
All the spectators were well pleased with
the contest, some expressing the opinion
that 1t was more interesting than sailing
regatta. 1t Is not impossible that another
race may be arranged this fall

HGi3. attractions.

Active preparations are being made
on the part of the local secretary of the
Brown Go. Ag'l. Soc, G. w. FL. Heide-
man, in behalf of the next County fair,
which promises to eclipse all preceding
exhibitions.
One of the attractions, which will be
especially interesting to our farmers,
will be the exhibition of wheat from
every state and territory in the union.
Imagine this opportunity of becoming
acquainted with the yield of other eli
mates than our own. some of which
boast OF better agricultural facilities
than Minnesota.
Another attraction, and one which
was never exhibited in this state on
any state, -district-or county fair, will
be the beautiful flower Victoria, well.
We'll not disclose the facts, but the
local secretary has told us that Queen
Victoria calls this beauty her favorite.
In a few weeks full announcements
will be forthcoming.

their instruments and rendered several
military pieces, finally taking their
seats on the platform, which was soon
occupied by dancing couples. Consi-
dering the few months Of practice the
band boys have enjoyed, one is sur
prised at the excellence of the music
rendered, and Milford may well boast
of the best rural band in the country.
Dancing continued all afternoon and
evening, refreshments were served and
little speeches held. Everyone came
with the anticipation of having good
time. and John Krueger and his lady
determined they should have. All look
forward to repetition of the festival.

New Ulm, Mimi, June 18th, 1883.
President Lincoln said that you can
fool some People all the time and you
can fool all the People sometimes, but
you cannot fool all the People all the
time.
Some machine men seem to take P.
I. Barnnm' view that the American
people are bound to be humbugged and
farmers in this country are Subjected
and liable to fall into the hands of lust
such men. Farm machinery noW-a-
days is SO near perfection that nearly
all kinds of machinery works leason-
ably well, yet there is difference in
the material put into them as is also
the case in prices with local dealers.
We believe in the theory of dividing
the profits with our customers and we
would rather sell a great many goods
at prices. that at the end Of the season
would leave hundreds Of dollars of the
profits in the pockets of our customers,
than to combine with other machine
men in raising the prices, thereby sell
ing but little and dividing up the
trade, in order to keep machinery high.
We handle the celebrated Esterly
Binders rand Mowers, the light and
durable ChampionsBinders and Mowers,
the Red, White and Blue Mowers, the
Bonanza Hay Rakes and Cultiyators,
the Stoughton and Red Wing Wagons
and Buggies, the Rock Island Stubble
Flows and only the best grade of Bind
ing Irvine, warranted to be absolutely
Insectproof. We also have the very
best steam threshlng outfits, such as
the Massillon Straw Burners, the Ault-
man & Taylor. and last but not least,
the Huber Straw Burning Engine and
Victory Separators. Another great
item for farmers to take into considera-
ton is that we always keep on hand a
full assortment of all kinds of repairs
for each and all kinds of machines we
sell.

Our readers will remember the visit
to this city of Miss Estey, one of the
State Organizers of the w. C. T. u,
and may recall the fact of her unsuc-
cessful attempt to organize q local $50
ciety here. At the time, she paid visit
to our public schools and received from
our superintendent, Mr.. r. Nix, an ac-
count of the mode in which the subject
of hygiene and temperance was treated,
but the fact that a textbook on these
subjects was not in use in our
schools, gave her the impression that
the school authorities were negligent in
the matter of educating our youth, and
she reported to Mrs. D. A. Sherman of
Sleepy Eye, the District President, her
observation. Accordingly, complaint
was made to State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Kiehle, who learned
from Mr.. Nix and j. B. Velikanie, the
County Superintendent, that the COM
plant was unfounded. Whatever has
been done in the matter only SO far in
terests US, as to cause US to protest
against the uncalled for meddling Of
the w. g. J. u. in the local affair of
our schools, which we feel confident
are in very able hands, and in those
which will no doubt safely guide our
youth to a correct understanding Of
.'the great truths Of life. 2
