The cases Of Alexander Dagle and

their so-called temperance hall, came

the stand for the state and testified
that he drank liquor there and that
bottles were openly exposed, as in any
ordinary saloon.

grape yield this year is good and he
will market about three tons. Mr..
Mendenhall has field of corn which
this year yielded .160 baskets to the

-Waseca Radical: The claim agent
of the Chicago and Northwestern rail-

road. We mention this because we do
not believe the road was under any
legal obligation to pay a cent for the
killing of w. V. Russell at GAINESVILLE,
but gave the money voluntarily.
