Mr.. c. III. Lindsey purchased to, day
| from Mr. Geo. McMahill pair of two
year-old Shorthorn-D Durham steers Which
will be slaughtered and placed on the
blocks at Mr.. Lindsley's meat market.
They were as fine specimens of beef cat
tie rs we ever saw, sound and solid,
weighing about 200 pounds each. Mr..
McMahill certainly knows how the raise
cattle, and Mr.. Lindsey is always on
the lookout for such kinds of beef.
The printer, Davis, had an examin-
alton before the U. 5. commissioner at
st. Paul, yesterday, but the hearing was
continued until to day. 1t seems there
is some doubt whether the matter which
he is accused of peddling through the
mails is in reality any worse than lots of
other trash that is not questioned. The
st. Paul Ne1CS reporter, who seems to
have sampled it, says the literature is of
the cheap sort which occupies the line
between trash and abscemty."
AT the request of a member of the
family, we will state that Albert McBeth
and Clara Hauch, both of Eagle Lake,
were married July 22nd. The marriage
was performed III Il lawyers office on
the evening of dav mentioned, Judge
Porter tying the knot. The groom i'm
mediatelv left his wife and has not since
seen her. He has left the county and
his property, which is considerable, is
being disposed os. Both are young peo-
pie and the wedding was the result of
their indiscretions.
C. w. Drury, an employe In Max
field d Couglin's stone quarry, met with
n painful accident this afternoon. He |
had about grappled stone with a hook |
when his team started up unexpectedly. |
The left thumb, nearly to the hand, was |
literally pulled of, taking with it a mus |
Gle which was pulled out of the arm
nearly to the elbow. The muscle meas |
ured nine inches in length. Mr.. Drury |
picked up the thumb and put it in his
pocket and went to DR.. Warmers Office |
and had his hand dressed. He had be-
fore lost half of the middle finger on
the left hand.
The thirty-horse act of Adam Fore |
paugh, Jr., which is seen at everv per- |
formance of the Forepaugh and Wild |
West Combined Shows, which exhibit
at Mankato, Aug. II, is said to be the |
most thrilling performance ever seen
under canvass or anywhere else. The |
idea of one man driving thirty horses at |
one time is sufficient to excite wonder, |
but when the driver is standing erect |
upon the two wheel horses and the 9TH |
ers are stretched out in line reaching |
nearly hundred yards, and rushing |
around the great quarter-mile hippo
drome track at headlong speed, the eff
feet is simply startling. No single act
produces so much enthusiasm, and in |
their excitement the people involuntari-
ly rise out of their chairs, swing their |
hats and vociferously cheer the daring
driver. The training Of these thirty
horses was entirely the work of Adam
FOrepaugh, Jr., who has introduced a
number of other trained animal novel
ties this season. Among others are his
$50, 600 troupe of trained bronchos; his
great herd of notwithstanding ele-
high rope; the trapeze horse, Eclipse"
and a troupe of somersault dogs; besides |
the triple circus and menagerie, and the |
noted Wild West exhibition, with scores |
of scouts, cowboys and Indians.
The county commissioners yesterday |
elected Ole Wickstrom janitor of the
new court house, fixing his compensa-
ton at $3.50 year and rooms and fuel.
The rooms are four in number in the
basement and are better than the ma
jority of people have. There were num-
erous applications for the position,
among them being those of several eX-
perienced engineers, for the janitor
must also attend to the steam boilers.
There is considerable opposition among
the county officers to Mr.. Wickstrom's
appointment, as they fear that he is not
a competent engineer and will blow the
building up through his ignorance.
There are two laws connected with this
appointment which the board does not
seem to have taken into consideration.
One says that no person shall be entrust-
ed with the operation of steam boilers
or steam machinery who has not been
examined by an inspector and found
competent and received license from
him. This position will fall under the
class of second class engineer, who
must have license, which he can only
receive after one year OF actual expert
ence, and his habits must be such as to
warrant the belief that he is competent
for the responsible position. The other
law SAYS that in making all appointments
in the public departments of cities, viii
lagos, etc, honorably disch' rged soldiers
and sailors, properly qualified, shall be
preferred for appointment and employ
ment, everything else being equal. Sew
eral old soldiers were among the applic-
ants.
