The criminal news to date reads
about like this, says the Granite Tri-
bnne: Madigan serving time for ly-
ing; Prendergast enjoying much
needed rest for an indefinite period +;
the Floyds receiving their friends un
til further notice. To even things up
better make Madigan's service, say 40

The directors of the Citizens State
Bank, of Lamberton, have decided to
erect two-story solid brick bank
building costing $1,000, work to COM
mence Immediately. The Citizens,

Correspondence is now going on be-
tween President Baldwin, of the Red
wood Falls Telephone Co., and Secre-
tary M. j. Bowling, of the Renville
and Beaver Falls Telephone Co., with
a view to connecting the two cities by
telephone extending the line now run
ming from this place to North Red
wood through to Beaver Falls, where
it would connect with the Renville
Inc. The stockholders of the local
line seem to be in favor of some such

Company seems to think that con-
solidation of the two companies would
be good idea.

parents noticed the disappearance of
a large number of red, white and blue

in with considerable of force. The
little ones have since got better inn
