S. F. McClane, of Princeton, Mimi,
was in the city last Saturday, in the
interests Of a nursery house. Mr.. Nc
Clane says that every one in the north
ern part of the State Republicans,
Populists and Democrats want to get
a chance to vote for Bob Dunn for
State Auditor. He says that Bob is
the most popular man in that section
to-day, and his work in cleaning out
the pine land ring has made him ex-
ceptionally popular.
The case of the State of Minnesota
vs.. Michael Schwab, arrested for SOW
ing wild oats on Geo. Patterson's farm,
in the town of Three Lakes, was dis
missed in Justice Fleischer's court, at
North Redwood, last Thursday. Two
witnesses, the Steinhaus brothers,
swore that Schwab gave them some
wild oats, with request to SOW the
same upon Mr.. Patterson's farm, but
they refused. This, they said, was in
1891, while the complaint had the deed
committed in 1892. While the evil
dence was not strong enough to hold
Schwab in case the complaint had not
been defective, Schwab's intent, clear
ly established, is on par with the
wild mustard sowing, and the legis-
lature will have to enact law this
winter that will increase the punish
ment for this class of criminals.
An old man, over sixty years of age,
was met by some parties from town
the other day west of town on his way
to Redwood Falls, says the Sleepy
Eye Herald. He was walking and
after the fashion of all Englishmen
seemed to enjoy his tramp. His des-
tiny was the Redwood coal mine and
his object prospecting. He mad been
in this country only two weeks, was a
miner of some thirty years experience,
and intended to convince himself OF
the truth of coal deposits in that sec
ton. He walked to save money and
because he had time. No doubt when
this illustrious individual strikes the
town he will discover an elixir of life
or at least the fountain of youth.
