cate of pension granted to the magis-

In the report of horse sale at Min
neapolis last Friday w. E. Baker pur-
chased the celebrated stallion Nam
brine Duke, with record of 2:19aa
paying 1925 for the same. It is prob
able that the horse will be brought
here, and will be added to the drove
of new blooded animals in Redwood
county.
Ex-senator Sevatson, of Cottonwood
county, has been arrested in connec-
ton with the Gilbert Grain Co. swim
die, and is on trial at Kasota. Senator
Sevatson was as honest as any senator
or representative during his tenure Of
Office, and it is probable that he will
show his transactions to be honest in
this case.
A copy of the Los Angeles Porcu-
pine was received at this office last
Monday. 1t contains a very able ar
gument from the pen of E. St. Julien
Cox, in favor of free trade, as we'll as
that gentleman's law card. The same
paper also records the fact that VIM.
B. Herriott was asked to serve on the
grand jury, but was excused for some
reason.
The GAZETTE has received from
Warden Wolfer, of the Saltwater
prison, lot of samples of binding
Irvine to be given gratis to farmers
who may call at this Office for the
same. The Irvine will be sold the
present season at a price not to ex-
coed seven cents pound and lower,
if necessary, to meet competition of
any Irvine of equal length and quality
that may be placed on the market.
The Irvine is of superior grade, and
farmers will do we'll to correspond
with Mr.. Wolfer with view to max
ing purchases.
An important business change oc-
ours in this city on April Goth, when
Mr.. Andrew Birum, one of the oldest
and most popular citizens of Redwood
county, will retire from the agency of
the Laird Norton Lumber Co., and be
succeeded by Mr.. FIN. lsham, of Wi
mona, who has been for II years last
past the travelling auditor of that COM
pany, and in the lumber business
since 1865. Mr.. Bruins retirement is
voluntary and with great regrets on
the part of the company which he has
so faithfully served for many years.
He, accompanied by Mrs. Birum, will
leave for Austin, where their only
child, Frank Birum, is conducting
profitable hardware business under
the firm name of Birum & Birum, and
where they will reside in the future.
Their many friends here, and they
have none but friends here, will regret
the departure deeply. The commun-
ity loses in Mr.. Birum one of it's hon
est and upright citizens. He has been
identified with the interests of Red
wood county and Redwood Falls for
Is years, his first work being in the
saw mill with his brother, Ener BIZ
rum, at what is now North Redwood,
and which was afterwards remodeled
into the present Touring mill at that
