The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1891-05-07

Save your law supplement, and look
over the titles of the acts, if you can't
read the rest.
The city we'll is now down 10 feet,
and the indications are reported hope
full. The granite ledge is passed.
So many readers of the Gazette from
all parts of the county are attending
court, that it would be irrelevant, in
competent and immaterial to single
out any for personal mention.
A vote is to be taken in Lyon coun-
ty next Saturday, on the question of
building court house. Tracy bust
ness men appear to be fighting the
project, but we cannot see upon what
ground.
All who attended the w. G. T. U.
concert last Friday evening speak OF
it in terms of high praise. The ladies
are justified in keeping up these ex-
cellent home entertainments from
time to time, and thus maintain the
library by a tax which it is an actual
pleasure for the public to pay. We
understand that a second concert is
contemplated, and advise the public
to patronize it generously.
The recent grand jury endeared
itself to many taxpayers by throwing
out numerous petty cases, and adjourn
ed yesterday after bringing in a soil
tary indictment against Chas. ECKER,
for assault on Herman Dahms. One
case only-that of State VS.. Knapp
was tried up to last evening. Knapp
got into court for soaring Indians off
his place, and was acquitted of any
felonious intent.
Petitions are being very numerously
signed this week, asking our county
commissioners to proceed with the
new court house building. In m3st
localities, taxpayers who understand
the small amount now required to pay
for the new building, sign without
solicitation. On business principles,
we can see no reason or justification
for stopping work on the building at
this time, and we believe most of our
county commissioners will so regard
the matter.
Mr.. Clough, a brother-in-law of R.W
Clough, last week closed the purchase
of the Ramsey creek property of DR..
Riheldaffer and NJ. G.. Foley. MIR.
Clough paid $40 per acre for the Rihel-
daffer quarter section, and $1,000 for
the Foley quarter, Which formerly
belonged to the Jas. Mcmillan estate
We are informed that Mr.. Clough has
selected a commanding site near
Ramsey Falls for fine residence,
which he will build in the near future
w. H. Lance has been confronted
with the alternative of stopping adver-
Using on his horses, or adding to his
stable. Like a live business man, be
went last week for an additional i'm
ported stallion which he purchased for
the Willard farm, from NJ. w. Durham,
the we'll known importer. Rancio is q
dappled gray, five years old, and
weighs over 1900. Admirers of fine
horses are invited to inspect him, at the
Willard farm, west Of town. We are
pleased to learn that stock-raisers are
encouraging Mr.. Willard in this sub
stantial way, in his project for build
ing up model breeding and stock farm
in this vicinity.
At the annua meeting of the Pres
byterian congregation, last Thursday
evening, H. N. Bell and D.Bissell were
elected trustees to fill vacancies. just
prior to the organization, DR.. Rihel
daffer read a letter of resignation tt
his flock, in which he recounted theil
triumphs in temporal way over vari
GUS obstacles, but expressed regret thai
his people had not done for themselve:
all that they might in matters spirit
ual. He assumed that the RESPONSE
bility in part for this might rest witt
him, and for their own good he asked
to be relieved as pastor. After thu
doctor retired it was developed that {
large majority of those present wanted
him to remain as pastor, and the meet
ing adjourned for one week before tax
ing final action. 1t is but simple jus
tice to say that the church has neve
prospered under the care of any othe
pastor as it has under DR.. Riheldaffer
and we hope he may be induced t.
reconsider his resignation.
