Echo Enterprise: The REDwooD
GAZETTE has a new deal this week on
what has been found in that county.
This time it is iron, copper and mica.
What The GAZETTE won't find to
keep things booming is not worth
talking of.
CIV. George leaves April 18th for
San Diego, California, his future home.
Mrs. George and the children will not
join him until fall. Charley" may
think that he has struck bonanza in
California, but he will learn that even
that State has fault.
Personal property taxes are now de-
linquent. In many cases the costs Of
collection of these taxes. if enforced,
will amount to more than the taxes,
and parties owing the county for the
same should not fail to call on Sheriff
Blethen at once and settle.
The fruit stand effects and building
lately owned by Lawrence Gerraghty
were knocked down to the highest
bidder by Sheriff Blethen last Satur-
day. Only $75.87 was realized from
the sale,about one-third of the amount
of the claims standing against the es-
tate.
&C. Tobias, the crack snare drum
mer with Pages zouave band, here
last August, is IN the city. He states
that Paige's Players have been play
ing in hard luck the past season, and
disbanded in Nebraska few weeks
ago. Mr.. Page, however, picked out
several of the best players and is at
tempting to again gain foothold, and
will play in Waseca in about three
weeks. It has been hard year for
show companies and opera house
managers.
United States Marshal Donahower
was on the train going west last Mon
day. His missioniwas at Echo, where
he disposed of a threshing engine on
an execution sale to satisfy claim of
over $1,000 against Samuel Mather.
The engine brought about $50, hard
ly enough to pay the expenses of the
sale. It appears that the Aultman-
Taylor Co. sold Mr.. Mather a thresh-
ing machine which was no good, and
the latter refused payment. The Com
pany sued and secured judgment, but
wnen it came to satisfy the judgment
it was learned that the defendant had
been too sharp for them, and no at
tachable property could be found.
Court opened in Beaver Falls Tues
day, and Judge Webber and Stenog-
rapher Eckstein passed through here
Tuesday en- route for that place. At
torney Bowers, Baldwin and Olson are
in attendance. Among the cases to
be tried is the one of Sarah Tate VS..
Robinson, an action to recover $1,000
for defamation of character, which
was so fully outlined in the GAZETTE
some time ago. Another is the case
of Tillisch VS.. the O'Conners in Rem
vile, an action involving question
of usury. Both cases are sensational
and the result will be watched with
interest. Judge Bowers has the de-
Tense in the former and the prosecu-
ton in the latter.
The weekly crop report of the Min
nesota weather service says that the
farming season is somewhat forward,
and a considerable amount of small
grain was sown before the 18th and
10th of March in the southwestern
and western part of the State, as far
