Judge Williston measures out justice to all
corners in the First judicial district, is a law
yer of the old school. He is neither fat nor
lank, self-satisfied nor restless, but simply
well-rounded intelligent-looking gentleman,
built something on the plan of a well-to-do
farmer. After holding a special term of
court at Saltwater Judge Crosby concluded
to spend half day In the city before joining
his wife at Central City, where the family IS
spending the summer, and so early in the
afternoon he dropped into the Merchants.
On his head was broad brimmed straw hat
that was evidently constructed for service in
the bayfield,. In speaking of the recent I'M
pleaSantness in the SANITY City Judge Crosby
said:
Il believe the only safe thing to do is to en-
force all the laws there are on the statute
books. and 1 believe it is coming to be the
sentiment of the people that this should be
done. If there are laws on the books that
should not be there repeal them. The way
to secure this repeal is to enforce them, and
thus bring them home to the people"
DO the people down your way regard st.
Paul as disorderly city, iudge?n
Il have always considered the police sys-
tenn of St. Paul one of the best in the couD-
try was the reply. Life and property are
safe, and everything seems to move along
without jar. 1t il altogether different IN
Minneapolis, and SO it is considered all over
the state. st. Paul has always had the repu-.
tation of having an excellent police system.
and trust it will continue. not only to have
the reputation, but also the efficient police
protection"

Hon. II. W. Lamberton, the Democratic
warhorse of Winona, arrived at the Mer-
chants yesterday afternoon. accompanied
by NJ. G. Norton, one of the leading lumber
men of that lively city. Col Lamberton is
so engrossed in business at present that he
has no time to talk politics, although he ex-
pressed the opinion that '92 is going to be
Democratic year. After dlsposing of con-
siderable business Messers. Lamberton and
Norton returned home last evening.
Hon. Charles W. Brandborg, the Alliance
| leader of Otter Tail county, spent yesterday
in the city, dining at the Clarendon with
Secretary of State Brown Mr.. Brand
borg is the gentleman who, in defend
ing himself on his way home from
an Alliance meeting at Henning on the
Fourth of July, from an attack by crowd of
enemies rather the worse for liquor, struck
one of them so hard that he afterwards died
from the effects of the blow. When the man
died Mr. Brandborg gave himself up and was
put under bonds to await the action of the
grand jury. The justice who heard the case
was willing to dismiss it. as 1t was clearly
case of self-defense, but it was thought best
to hold him for the grand Jury.
i
Mr.. Brandborg is a sturdy and intelligent
farmer, who does not look es though he
would Intentionally harm any living Great
IRE. He willingly talked over the case yes
terday, and showed by his actions how badly
he felt over the matter. At the time he
struck the man he only intended to brighten
the crowd and save himself. The men who
were pursuing him, it seems, were in years
gone by on the side opposed to Mr.. Brand
borg in local quarrel, and when they were
little excited some one suggested that the
old score be settled
Il
Up to the time of this Fourth of July quar-
rel Charley Brandborg was regarded as the
coming man in the politics of the new
Seventh district. He was the president Of the
Otter Tail County Alliance, and was popular
not only in his own county of Otter Tail, but
also throughout the district. How this will
affect him of course is not yet known, but at
present he does not seem to take any interest
in matters of political nature. He is prac-
teal and successful farmer, and has been
one of the leaders of the new party from the
beginning He is just returning home from
a visit at Waseca.

Hon. Peter Nelson, one of Red Wings
solid business men, visited st. Paul yesterday
accompanied by his wife and boy. The party
dined at the Merchants and returned home
by the afternoon train. Goodhue county is
ufpn FL
makes little difference when Mr.. Nelson is d
candidate for office, which is, by the way,
very seldom. In 1886 he was sent to the SEN
ale, and last year. when he made scarcely
any fight for himself, was defeated for re-
election by plurality of only 81 votes, and
this, too. when his opponent was rs popular
and strong a man as Hon. j. W. Peterson.
In the senate Mr. Nelson was one of the
strong and conservative men. He
voted as he thought right, and
while some might disagree with him,
no one ever questioned his motives
He is now in much better health than he
was at the end of his term as senator, and
looks like a new man, Like all other citi-
Zens of Red Wing regardless of party, Mr..
Nelson is proud of the new Congressman
Hall, and predicts his reelection next year
by larger majority than he had last year.

great fall trade for that center
