Editor Haislett, of the Adrian
Guardian, accompanied by his son,
Sam, came over Saturday night and
went to Spirit Lake to pass the Sab
bath. An ADVANCE man and Globe
representative were detailed to accom-
pany the "Old Man" to ascertain for
a certainty whether he took bath.
We are sorry to report that he did
not, for prudential" reasons perhaps.
The village council Monday Wis
tied LeMars, Iowa, for the purpose Of
inspecting the electric light plant at
that place. They made thorough
and careful inspection and the infor-
nation gained will be of value to
them in putting in the plant at this
place. The residence portion of L.
Mars is largely lighted by 80 candle
power incandescents which are high
ly satisfactory and much cheaper
than arcs. We understand the coun-
Gil will at once perfect plans for the
construction of plant at this place.
The train hands on the branch last
evening told of bloody battle which
took place at Heron Lake on Sunday
evening. It seems band of dagos
were camped over Sunday about
mile out of town, and during the after
noon a gang of toughs went out to
the camp and tried to run things to
suit themselves. The dagos showed
fight so the toughs went back to
Heron Lake and got the marshal
and posse of men to go down and
arrest the campers. When the dagos
saw the crowd coming again they
thought the boys were going to clean
out the camp, so they began firing
revolvers into the air to brighten the
fellows. The marshal and posse
then opened fire and succeeded in
badly wounding two of the dagos, in
fact it is thought that one will Ger
tainly die and the other is not out of
danger by long ways. The dagos
have sent to Omaha for an attorney
to help them and they propose to
make it hot for the slayers OF their
companions if such a thing is posi-

Friday last we had the pleasure of
a trip to Bigelow, going out by way
of Peter Hawkinson's. MIR. H. has a
beautiful place on the banks of a
small lake. Besides raising small
grain, corn, etc., he has fine or
chard of cherry, apples and plums,
many trees of which are loaded with
fruit. All along the road on either
side were large fields of grain, most
of which is now cut and in shock.
The farmers we talked with were
unanimous in saying that this years
crops are the best raised in this Sec
ton for many seasons. Wheat and
oats are exceptionally fine, and corn
hard to beat. At Bigelow we found
much business activity. B. I. Trip
& Co. are making about 300 pounds
of cheese per day; they pay cash for
milk which is great help to the
farmers of that section. Next season
the plant will be enlarged. Ryan &
Bushnell, the enterprising lumber
dealers are doing a large business
They employ large force of carpen-
tiers and put up buildings by con-
tract. They are now erecting a com
modious barn for NJ. Sorem, a house
and barn for James Williams, and a
house and barn for John Pepperlee.
Mr.. RYAN is also erecting handsome
