picnicin Schraders's grove. s'
i. Marshal Schapek has ordered the
gang Of horse traders that have infested
/. the town the past week to keep off the
streets. Correct. They shouldn't be
allowed to enter the town at all.
The premium list Of the 10Th annual
Fair is now being circulated. Farmers
and everybody should read it carefully.
There is always something you can ex-
hibit, which will help to make the fair
a success.
Old Fort Hill in Lake Hanska will be
the scene this year of one of the largest
Fourth of July celebrations ever wit
messed in this region. The people of
that town have gone to great trouble
and ll1'G expense in making arrangements
and they extend cordial invitation to
everybody to attend.
a very enjoyable picnic was held at
August ochell's place Sunday afternoon.
The day was excessively hot and the
cool country air was immensely refresh
ing. The band and glee club were
present to furnish music and to those
who attended it was a most pleasantly
spent afternoon. They will no doubt
wish for a recurrence of the event.
| The town was startled yesterday
morning by the sad announcement that
Rev. J. j. Sauer, who has been attend
/ ing the Lutheran Synod during the
week, died suddenly Monday night of
heart disease. He was stopping with
Mr.. Tape and early in the evening he
was taken suddenly i'll and died at nine
o'clock. His home is in Potsdam, Ohm
stead County, whittier he was taken on
the morning train after funeral services
at the church. He was 63 years of age.
The following is the standing at the
rifle practice Sunday morning: G.
Brust, G. Hauenstein, j. B. Schmid, j.
Lila, F. Grebe. Mr.. Hauenstein has
been awarded the medal having made
the best average score in three shoots.
The average scores of the five are as
1 80. + s.
follows: Hauenstein 472, Brust 438,
Schmid 1872, Lila 34s, Grebe 3O2. On
next Sunday they will commence to
shoot for the new medal, which is a
handsome gold badge, even prettier
than the previous one. All will strive
hard to get it.
We are informed that the stranger,
who was taken with an epileptic fit on
our streets last Wednesday. was at one
| time a soldier in the German army and
that these fits were the result of q
wound received in the Franco Prussian
war. He was given money by the gov
eminent and ordered to Gene to this
country in order to get rid Of him. He
has been here two years and now claims
to be on his way to New York. where
he will make a complaint and ask
to be sent back to the old country.
The town has been Tiled for the past
week with a gang of horse traders,
who are in the interest of nobody
but themselves and for the sole pur-
pose of bleeding the unsuspecting
farmers. Their horses are a poor ad.
vertisement but they succeed just the
same in disposing of them and getting
| first class animals in their stead. Not
withstanding repeated warnings there
are class of farmers that will continue
to be.taken in by these gangs and will
never learn to avoid them until they
have been given practical lesson.
They cannot be told often enough that
it is better to trade horses with your
neighbor and get good bargain even
if the prices are higher than run the
risk Of dealing with these sharpers, who
are never known to get beat.
