While Fl. w. Bailey was taking the
Rev Dexter 10 his charge in Alban town
ship last Sunday afternoon, the colt that
he was driving started out on d pace that
to for
than conformable to the dignity of a
Methodist minister, and before he slack
ened his gait had succeeded in depositing
both minister and driver upon the
ground, luckily without injury to either.
The buggy, however, was pretty badly
used up.
Our nelghboring city of Ortonville is
all torn up in factional fight, starting
originally by newspaper personalities.
and which has led to charges Of boodling
against certain members of the city coun-
Gil by the Herald-Star. These charges
resulted Ia the arrest OF w. G. Whiteman,
editor of the Herald Star, on the charge
Of attempting to bribe witness for the
purpose Of black mailing.
Mr.. Whiteman not only charged that
councilmen We're guilty. Of hoodling but
he also accused A. b. kaercher. a men,
Der of the council. with immortality. The
result is that Editor Whiteman is now
charged with bribery.
Mr.. A. NJ. Light, Of Ortonville, was in
the city last Monday. Mr.. Light is en-
gagged in the granite business and is
superintendent and general manager Of
the North Star Granite company, recent
ly organized and incorporated as a manu-
featuring corporation. for the purpose of
qnarrylng and manufacturing granite
stone into monuments and for building
purposes The company is capitalized
at 100000. and the shares are placed
at $50 each, 2,000 shares being reserved
as the property Of the company, the bal
ance being placed upon the market.
Messrs Z. Nj. Bennett ana j. G. Knapp
are the agents for selling stock in
Milbank MIR. Light is the gentle
man who first opened the Baxter
quarry, which is now doing a large bus
mess in granite shipping, and is thorough
~ posted in the business. The granite
which he is now working is of finer
grain than that from the original quarry

higher polish. He had speciman of
tie stone with him, which clearly dem
onstrated how beautifully this granite can
be worked up, rs it presented most
beautiful surface.
OF the two new arrivals mentioned last
week at Sheriff Benedict's home for the
friendless, one was from this county and
the other from Day. Nels Anderson
halls from Marvin where he kept little
store, and ii is said his customers never
Of necessity went away thirsty. as be
kept among his stock different kinds OF
-'patent medicine upon which they
could bowl up to their hearts content.
But Anderson didn't have Uncle Sans
license tor this kind OF work and when he
was taken to Sioux Falls to explain he
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pay
a fine OF $50 dollars and costs amounting
to x1O5 and 30 days imprisonment.
Louis 3. Anson, the delegate from Lay
county, is one of those foolish virgins
who believe that prohibition doesn't pro-
hibit. and who was determined that It
shouldn't prohibit. He has been the
cause Of no end Of trouble to the eooa
peoDle OF Webster and also to himself,
getting arrested and giving bonds and
from one building 10 another rs
iniunclions we're placed on his place OF
business until the United States marshal
swooped down upon him. Anson has
been q kind OF king bee in his neighbor-
hood among the opponents OF the liquor
selling law, and was very certain that
wouldn't, couldn't and
prohibit. He stood his trial IN
the II. s. court ut Sioux Falls and was
to 80 days imprisonment and
800 fine, or imprisonment until his me
is paid. What effect his present moae
Of living will have toward changing ms
