buried at Minneapolis Monday. H,
was aged twentv-six years.
The West Mankato hook and ladde
company will give dance at Buck,

The county treasurer desires to re,
mind those who have not yet paid theil
taxes that but two weeks intervene be-
fore the ten per cent. penalty will be
added. Better save money jov needing
this reminder.
The wholesale drug firm of Moore,
Piper & Co., Mankato hare gone out OF
the business. The reason given - that
there is not enough business to justify
continuance.-Lake Crystal Union.
You are wrong. The firm doesn't
complain of lack of business. 1t says
the margins are too small for the amount
OF business transacted.
A marriage license was issued yes
terday to Henry Schuster, Jr and Miss
Julia Newbauer, both of Danville. Mr..
Schuster's father gives his son 160 acre
farm as a wedding present, which will
give the young couple good start in
life. Their many friends will rejoice in
their good fortune.
The petition for receiver for the
Southern Minnesota Warehouse Co., of
Lake Crystal, has been dismissed by
Judge Severance. The partnership af-
fairs will now be settled as rapidly as
possible. 1t Is claimed that the State
Bank of Lake Crystal owes the company
large amount.
The county board, accompanied by
county auditor Scattergood, left last
night for Albert Lea to inspect the i'll
side finish of the court house at that
place. They may visit st. Paul before
their return. This trip means that the
board is awake to ITS duties and is deter
mined that Blue Earth county shall
keep up with the times. The outside of
the building is not to be excelled any
where and it would be disgraceful if the
Inside was not commensurate with the
exterior. The Albert Lea court house
is model of beauty within and the new
ideas the county board will get will
greatly aid 1t in selecting the best kind
of finish for our court house. The
board is to meet again tomorrow.
e. L. Schwartz, the failed Amboy
merchant, expects to make an assignment
tomorrow to Edwin c. Ludtke. Yes
terday the North Star Boot and Shoe
company, of st. Paul, secured judge
ment against Schwartz, amounting to
$255.1 An execution was issued and
an officer left last night to serve it. tits
expected that quite legal tangle will
be the result.
-Robt. Harland was up in the munich
pal court yesterday afternoon charged
stealing some wagon wheels, gearing,
etc., from E. NJ. Pope's warehouse. He
pleaded not guilty. and the trial will &C.
cur at l 80 p. m. tomorrow. He had
purchased wagon and given note for
it. He returned the wagon and re
ceived back his note, but he took away
the parts of the wagon mentioned.
Harland is a well known farmer living
in Decoria.
The statement of affairs of the South
ern Minnesota Elevator Co., as hereto
fore stated as connected with the State
Bank are erroneous. II. Jefferson, Mr..
MltchelPs partner, and manager of the
Elevator Co., states that the bank owes
| the capital, as we'll as all the different
amounts of Indebtedness to creditors,
who are now enforcing their claims
against the Elevator Co. understand
Mr.. Jefferson has said nothing about
this matter before, hoping, and having
been promised that Mr.. Mitchell would
settle up the entire matter in short
time.-Lake Crystal Union.
This would appear to make the affairs
of the defunct bank considerably worse.
1t is rumored that Mrs. Mitchell will
probably make settlement of all claims
when she returns to Lake Crystal. If
the life insurance stories are true, the
lady certainly need not be deferred by
financial reasons.
The trial of Will Smith at Lake Crvs-
tai for disturbing religious meeting last
week was begun Yesterday. County at
torney Smith appearing for the state.
The trial was not concluded and was adj
journed until one o'clock to-day. 1t
seems that Toilet Peterson, the owner OF
the hall whefe the meeting was held,
swore out the complaint upon which
Smith was arrested and at the same time
had half dozen other Young men ar
rested on the same. charge and on the
same complaint. Peterson decided af-
forwards that he wasn't sure about the
other men and they were all discharged.
One of them has since had Peterson ar
rested on the charge of barratry, or stir
ring up groundless trouble. AS it re-
quires three separate cases, three OF
the men arrested were cited. The de.
Tense made this one of its points, claim
ing that they were not separate cases,
as the men were arrested upon the same
complaint. Peterson was taken to Good
Thunder for trial, he claims through
spite, and the case was adjourned until
Monday. The case is said to be stirring
up considerable ill-feeling in Lake Crys-
tai and vicinity. In Smiths case there
was some question about the building
being place of public worship, as the
first floor was used as store and the
second floor for church.
