The county commissioners will prob.
ably adjourn to-day. AT meetings last
fall petitions were presented for the for
nation of new school districts, each of
which were partly in Beauford and pant
ly in Lyra. The petitions were what
are known rs the HAYES and O'Brien
petitions. The petitions were granted.
Yesterday a large number of farmers
living in the proposed new districts APP
peared before the board and asked for a
re-hearing. This was granted, and the
result was that the action granting the
petitions was rescinded, and the district
will not be formed. The objections
were many, the principal one being the
increase i'll taxes required to build new
school houses, after having paid for the
buildings in the old districts.
Lake Crystal Union: The strangest
yet reported In these parts is
The case of Miss Mary Kelly. young
lady about 20 years of age, who lives with
her parents, B. Kelly, of Garden City
township. Last July she was taken with
IN aching pain in one shoulder. The
arm became in1amed and terribly swol-
EN-. Physicians in Mankato and st. Pc
ter were consulted, also one in this place.
Those in Manka:o gave no explanation
Or relief. She suffered terribly. The
physician in this place learned from the
patient that about year previous she
had fall from horse, alighting on her
but at the time thought moth
ng of it; he however, was of the opini-
On this was the cause of the trouble, and
advised that an opening be made to the
bone. The doctor at st. Peter poulticed
he arm, but with no relief. She went
20 st. Paul few weeks ago for treat
nent, and the physician there made an
ncision in the arm, but did not speak
very hopefully of the case. Long suffer-
ng and the lack Of Information as to the
real cause of the ailment had done their
worst. The arm is comparatively dead.
The latest advice from her father, who
went to her last week is that she Is very
sick. This misfortune has aroused the
deepest sympathy from her many
friends, and they hope she yet may sur
yive the ordeal and her life be spared to
enjoy many wears.
