so paid SIS to secure rig to take his
confidential friend into the country, the
latter was therefore ten dollars ahead.
By this time the New Ulm man was
sure OF the game that was being played
upon him and that the essayer was none
other than the Indian. With Mankato
friends he therefore arranged to arrest
the whole gang, but, while talking, the
matter over in the hotel with one of
these acquaintance, a third party, who
had evidently watched their actions
continuously, gave the signal to the
Mexican, who was near by, and before
anything could be done they were both
out of sight, and the gentlemen who
had so shrewdly but unsuccessfally
planned to unload their brass brick on:
to a stranger for few hundred dollars
were safe from the clutches Of the auth
critics.
The New Ulm gentlemen still has the
gold nugget taken from the centre of
the brick and places great value upon
it for the highly interesting experience
that is connected Herewith. He saws
that ne has seen many clever tricks of
confidence men, but this one, for the
perfectness of the actors and complica-
tions of the game, beats them all.

The Fourth at Other Places.

At Sleepy Eye the citizens did them
selves proud in their commemoration of
the nations birthday. The town had on
its holiday attire and the buildings we're
covered with flags, evergreens and bunt.
ing. Redwood Falls, Morgan and other
neighboring towns were represented by
large delegations and the town was
crowded with visitors. A large indus
trial parade, athletic sports of all kinds,
a baseball game and a mastery Grafton
by Hon. G. Gjersten of Minneapolis
constituted the chief amusements of the
day. The ball game between the Col
den Gate and Redwood Falls clubs re
suited in victory for the former by
score of 13 to 8.
The citizens Of Springfield spread
themselves. The little village was lit
orally packed with people and the Gel
ebration was OF a rousiug character.
In the morning procession was formed
and marched through the principal
streets, and Immediately after Hon. B.
F. Webber and Col. Pfaender of New
Ulm delivered orations. In the after
noon there were foot races, fat mems
race, sack and wheel barrow races and
base ball. The latter was match
game between the Springfield and Red
Rock mines in which the former won
with score of % to 1. A brilliant
pyrotechnic display in the evening con.
cluded the days festivities.
The people of Linden and the sur
rounding country celebrated in the reg
ular old fashioned style. Farmers with
their families flocked in from several
miles around and in the afternoon the
grounds near Gudman Anderson's s place
were in the possession of several hun
dred people. Albert Steinhauser, the
promising young New Ulm attorney, de-
livered an able address in English, and
Christopher Jensen, the noted Minnea-
polls Unitarian, spoke at length in the
Norwegian language. His address was
in an eloquent strain and held the clos
est attention of his listeners throughout.
Baseball and foot races, and music and
dancing were also among the attractions,
and kept the crowd on the ground until
day-break the next morning.

last Friday morning. Eli Mullinax, a
noted desperate and horse thief, whose
home is in Princeton, Mo-, shot and in
stantly killed John johnson, a worthy
citizen of Dakota county. Mullinax5
was then wounded by son of johnson,
but not seriously. Peter Brizendine, a
companion of Mullinax, then shot and
Instantly killed young johnson and
