Marshall Reporter: Redwood Falls
now comes out with a half column
sensation in the Pioneer Press, claim
ing discovery of gold quartz west of
town. The town is getting we'll adver-
tised at least. Mica and guano mines
are probably somewhere around the
Falls, and will open up when the
present advertisement gets stale.
The St. Louis freight coming east
was two hours late last Monday even
ing. The train was midway between
Echo and Belview, when the strap
connecting the piston and one cylin-
der broke, and the engine lay dead

engineering continuance the engine
was made to pull twenty-four cars
and one caboose by using only one
cylinder, into Morton.
Sheriff Casper Blethen returned

moving chattel mortgaged property
out of the reach of the mortgage, the
Citizens Bank of this city. Guy came
without requisition papers and is at
present in the New Ulm Jail awaiting
the May term of court.

The Redwood GAZETTE quotes the Tri
bune as declaring that "Nicollet coun-
ty will keep her towns and further re-
marks are useless" This is sample
of the unprincipled hoggishness of
these lordly county seat towns that
have been located with no higher
motive than to serve their own narrow
interests. The territory that the Tri-
bune is determined to hold is 40 to so
miles distant from st. Peter, the coun-
ty seat, while the same territory would
be within 6 to Is miles of the county
seat. Is there no way to escape from
the greedy injustice of these county
seat towns?
Arrangements have been perfected
by the Redwood County Agricultural
society with its vlce-president Il.
w. Clough, for the painting of all the
buildings on the fair grounds. The
paint to be used will be Redwood
Falls paint exclusively, and will be
furnished free of charge by Mr..
Clough, the society to furnish the oil
for mixing, and Mr.. Clough to pay
the painter for spreading the same.
The four colors to be used will be a
brown oxide Of ochre, red oxide, a
drab and an orange oxide. They will
make very pretty contrast, and will
last for thirty years, at least. It might
be we'll for citizens of Redwood coun-
ty who have barns and outhouses to
paint to use this product of our own
mineral fields, in preference to pur-
chasing imported goods.
Capt. Lewis dropped into the Ga
