The county board spent a day or
two this week visiting all the poor in
the city and county who are receiving
county aid. The burden has grown
so heavy that the board feared
that some might be imposing upon it..
However, it was found that all on the
list are needy and that some ought to
have even more aid.
The Wells Adu0cdte tells of 70
nance which ended there Monday af-
ternoon.
Monday afternoon young man and
lady drove down G street and OppO-
site the Wells Bank were confronted
by an old man, who stepped in front
of the team. The girl jumped out of
one side of the buggy, and the young
man the other. When the young
man reached the ground he pulled a
long and perSuaSive-looking revolver
and pointed it at the old gentleman.
The old man had grit and did not
quail; and the owner of the revolver
concluded not to shoot, and handed
the weapon to by-stander. 1t was
one of the incidents of romance in
real life, the actors in which live
near this place. As near as we can
learn the particulars, Will Stevens,
of Mapleton, was engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Clayton, who lives with
her parents three or four miles east
of Wells. Stevens had secured his Ii
cense, it is said with the consent of
Mr.. Clayton, hired minister and
made preparations to be married Sun
day. But Mr.. Jack Shaver, of Kies-
ter, rival for the affections of the
girl, appears on the scene, and his
star seems to be in the ascendant with
the parents. A boy is sent to town
to tell the minister that the marriage
is postponed for two weeks. Monday
the girl and her parents start for KieS-
ter with Stevens on their trail.
Stevens gets possession of the girl
and starts for Wells, with parents
and rival lover in hot pursuit. After
chase of several miles, in which
Stevens kept the pursuers at bay with
his revolver, all parties reached town
but the parents got here first, and the
girls father confronted the couple as
stated before. No arrests were made,
and after considerable talk all parties
went home. We would like to know
who gets the girl.

"A terrific rain and hail storm oc-
CURED between Minnesota Lake and
Wells at about eight o'clock last night.
The rain extended as far north as
Good Thunder, but no damage was
done in this county. The Wells train
was obliged to almost stop for half an
hour owing to the binding storm and
the opposing wind. The rain beat
into the baggage car and soaked six
trunks belonging to commercial
agent for Chicago clothing house.
He telegraphed the house for new
samples and refused to accept the
trunks from the railroad. At Wells
the train on the main line was held
for three quarters of an hour, and
when it did start it was preceded by
section men on hand cars as far as
Alden. Considerable damage to crops
was done about Wells, but the bulk
of the storm seemed to be still further
south. At the hour named the sky
appeared very threatening from this
city.
