At the opening of court Tuesday
morning Attorney V. B. Seward Sc
cured the allowance of his administra-
ton of the assigned estate of Joseph
Perard of Marshall. The receipts from
the insolvent estate amounted to
81, 345. %, and the expenses incurred by
the assignee amounted to $718.92. A
personal property tax of $101.O9 was
paid. There is preferred claim of $50
against the estate and unpreferred
claims amounting to So, 1854. This
leaves dividend of 1856 per cent for

One-half of the corn grown in Red
wood county during the past season is
standing in the field at the present
time and unless the snow disappears
rapidly it is probable that most of it
will remain in the field during the win
ter. A large quantity of threshing also
remains to be done. Farmers not yet
threshed are naturally grumbling over
that fact, particularly SO because wheat
is on the upward scale and they realize
that to have the wheat ready for the
market when good price is offered
would be to their advantage.
John O'Hara, Horace Jones, Fred
Cain and another young man whose
name cannot be obtained left Monday
overland for Melrose, Mimi, where
they proposed to spend several days
with Johns mother and brothers in
that town. They left just after the
snow storm stopped in wagon drawn
by two horses. Their friends here pre-
dict that they will not only never reach
Melrose8 in the wagon, but that they
will be back home before THE GAZETTE
appears on the streets to-day. The
snow storm of Tuesday really made
wheeling impossible.
The election returns came in slow on
election night. This was not on &C
count of the lack of enthusiasm but was
owing to the large number of votes cast
in all of the precincts, and the long
ballot to be read by the judges. The
night was also very dark and the roads
were in a bad condition. The first re.
port that came in was the town of Hon
ner, as usual, always the first. The
second report was from the town OF
Redwood Falls, giving partial reports
on the National and State tickets, and
a prediction on the county ticket. Then
came the total vote from that town.
