The new union depot at Kasota will
be a line structure and in keeping with
Inc needs and wants of the junction. 1t
will be 16O feet in length, made of
pressed brick and will be heated by
steam. This reminds US that something
OF the same kind is needed in New Ulm.
We have put up long enough with an
old frame structure.
In the town of Vesta, near the Brown
county line, last week young man
named Thurber attempted to kill his
mother-in-law with a revolver. The at.
tempt was unsuccessful and he started
for Redwood Falls where he threatened
to kill his brother. The latter had him
arrested, and before Judge Baldwin he
was compelled to give bail to appear for
trial at the next term of court. The
cause of the disturbance was family
troubles. 49,.
Last week, Bridget Mullany, patient
in the St. Peter Hospital for insane
committed suicide in a horrible and
sickening manner. She had made many
previous attempts to take her own life
but without success. This time she
waited until the attendants were out of
the room and then stepped upon chair
and threw her apron over a gas jet.
When the apron fell her dress caught
fire and in an instant she was enveloped
in flames. She died soon after.
Al. Loose of Lone Tree Lake was
here Monday with boy who had one
of his legs caught in a wagon wheel
last Wednesday. DR.. Welcome, who
examined the injured leg, found that
there was a green-stick break of the
smaller bone and great injury to the
muscles. The injured member, which
was badly swollen, was dressed by the
doctor and the boy taken home. The
long time between the injury and the
dressing of the wound makes q bad
combination for the boy.-Sleepy Eye
Dispatch.
S. D. Peterson of New Ulm came in
from the west yesterday and reports
that at Tracy, Lamberton and Walnut
Grove the elevators and warehouses are
full of wheat and farmers haye no place
except their own granaries to store it,
and many who came to town with grain
had to haul their loads back home.
This state of>affalrs, says Mr.. Peterson,
has tendency to stop business to a GER
tain extent and is undoubtedly a seri-
Gus annoyance TO both farmers and
merchants. Just how the matter is to
be remedied does not seem plain as the
railroad is absolutely unable to supply
cars as fast as wanted.-Sleepy Eye
Dispatch.
Minnie Schlief. the nine-year-old
daughter of Chas. Schlief, of Mulligan,
was playing around corn shelter last
Thursday and the result was fracture
in her right arm just above tie elbow
and another near her shoulder. She
would turn the shelter until it got to
running fast and then take her hand
away and watch it run, but in letting 90
her hold, the handle caught in her
sleeve twisting her arm with the above
results. DR.. Rothen berg, who has the
case in charge, says the little girl
showed a great deal of nerve during his
examination and through the whole
process of reducing :he fractures she
uttered no word of complaint. -Spring-

Shortly after six o'clock on Tuesday
evening of last week, there occurred the
death of Miss Annie Behnke from con-
sumption. The deceased had been af-
f1icted with the unsparing disease for
many months, and all the care of
thoughtful relatives and the skill of
