were brought to this city last Satur-
day for interment, and we're placed
beside her husband, who preceded
her nine years ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Phelps were old settlers of this place
and highly respected by all WIZ
knew them, They both lived a USE
full life, Mr., Phelps filling the pulpit
of the Methodist church number of
years. Mrs. Phelps was living with
her son Boyd at Duluth at the time
of her demise.
The case against James Hutchins
last Wednesday was for indecent as
sault, instead of attempted rape, as
stated in last weeks issue. As the
arrest happened just before going to
press it was published as we were
informed, not having time to look the
case up, In the eyes of morality one
is about as revolving as the other, but
not quite SO severe a penalty is at
tached.. Mr.. Hutchins waived exam
ination and was bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of $500, which
he furnished and was released.
Threshing in this vicinity COM
menced in earnest last Monday, and |
SO far all the fields that have been
threshed have turned out fully as
much, if not more than was expected.
Mr.. Wilson, about one and half
miles south of town, threshed a pic CO
of wheat that went Is bushels to the
acre of No. l. His oats yielded Sc
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Van Kleek,
on the western outskirts of town, is
threshing wheat that will go about
81 bushels to the acre of No. |. And
it runs in about that proportion all
over the county, with the exception,
passlbly, of q few fields ip the SOUTH
ern part of the county, where the
heat done some damage. The ele-
vators are paying 81 cents bushel.
Sylvester Stewart. of Morris, we'll
posted machinery and business man
and all-round hustler, after weeks
Investigation OF the tow mill project,
came home last week convinced that
he enterprise had too many elements
Of unsertainty about it for him TO either
invest in it himself or advise other par=
les there to do SO and the probabilities
gre that Morris will LET the subject
alone. GraceYille, however, has just
entered into negotiations whereby she
will soon have one in active operation
The subject is new as yet and in a
measure untried, but a year or so will
settle the question whether the towns
generally want to invest in them or
