Judge Geo. w. Wilson was called to
try a damage suit in Fulda the latter
part of last week. From this he was

warm in Murray county. The petition
of the Slayton interest was presented
to the County Commissioners for hear
ing. Judge Wilson appeared in the in.
terest Of Currie, the present county
seat. This contest bids fair to produce
the usual amount of litigation, expense
and bad feeling accruing in like cases.
Judge Wilson will 90 back to Fulda to
finish his case, and from thence to
Window and Mankato. He will spend
Sunday in Minneapolis with his family.

The Childs Baby Band and Drama
, tic company are simply immense. 1
more attractive aud satisfactor!
amusement was never enjoyed by tn
people of Worthington. The musica
and dramatic ability of the children o
Mr.. and Mrs. Childs, are probably with
out precedent IN people so young. Tn
baby-a little over two.years old-beat'
the cymtols with the precision Of Al
old musician. The facial expressio,
and perfect elocution o
Jessie-four years old-might we'll b
coveted by a:master of the art. tn,
family won golden opinions from on
best citizens during their stay here.
