by over a dozen of her lady friends
on Thursday afternoon last week.

John Bjorklund of Alma, was
brought to Warren last Thursday
and placed in Jail, for having had an
other encounter with his old enemy,
Halvor Moen. Bjorklund went to
Argyle and wanted a warrant for
Moen, which was refused, and upon
investigation at the house of Moen
the latter was found to have gotten
the worst OF the fight. If what the
neighbors say OF these men be true,
both of them ought to he in jail.
Fred W. Flanders, whose genial
face we have been accustomed to see
for many years past in the Bank OF
Warren, is now no longer with that
institution. He has accepted posi-
tion with the New York Life Insur-
ance Company as resident agent at
Warren, and will henceforth devote
his energies to the life insurance busi-
ness. Fred is an active young man
who always make Il success at " hat
ever he undertakes. The company
he represents is an old established
and reliable life insurance company
which already has worked up a big
business in this county, and this
business is now bound to increase at
a very rapid rate. Look out for
Fred when he begins to talk insur-
ance.
Sheriff kivel returned yesterday
from Indiana but failed to bring the
prisoner that he was after. As near
as we can learn the history of the
case is as follows: Two young
men, Wesley and William Kindred,
came from Indiana last fall with a
threshing rig to work near Argyle.
They had no money to pay the
freight on the machine, and F ID. .Keye
advanced the money, taking mort
gage on the outfit which they repre-
sented as their own. Threshing was
bad and they contracted other debts
in the meantime and finally they
gave a bill of sale OH outfit so as to
straiglten up their affairs. It now
turns out that the rig was not paid
for, and the engine has been taken
back, aud the separator will be. The
Argyle parties, hence, are after the
young men for obtaining money un.
der false pretenses. One OF the
brothers is in jail here now, and the
other, Kivel tried to bring here. but
could not. Governor Merriam
would issue no requisitiou
papers until an indictment had been
found against him by the grand jury
Itlooks like q mixed up mess, and q
big expense to the taxpayers, fol
which somebody is responsible.
