Sleepy Eye Herald: Tom Price Of
the Redwood branch declares that he
was informed that a petrified butter
milk mine was discovered near Red

Editor NJ. j. Bowling, of Renville
was accidentally shot while sitting in
the hotel Office at Granite Falls at

waiting for the train east. While play

Gov. Nelson has issued q proclama-
ton for a vote in Sibley and Renville
counties at the next general election
to decide whether new county, to be

the threshermen to pay no attention
to the schedule of rates as fixed, but
take jobs at whatever figures they
chose, and that payments on their
machines would be deferred to another
year.
Prominent New York bankers and
capitalists have received subscriptions
for the entire 81 ,OOO, 600 of bonds and
stock for the reorganization of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road, provid-
ed for in the amended plan of re-
organization. Inasmuch as the plan
has been completed, and, in view of

business men of Redwood Falls to get
together for once, and have the proper
committee appointed to watch the
movements of the new company, so
far as the Pacific extention is concern

mittee to buy in the property, and, if
successful as bidder, then to form q

from all obligations of the present
company, except the underlying 6 per
cent. and z per cent. mortgage bonds,
