A writer from Logan postoffce,
Gales township. to Rural Center, says
that the Logan creamery is an assured
fact. He says that a contract has
been closed with w. G. ,Steinke of

pletlon of a creamery to cost $685.,
and that two banks have offered to
advance the money necessary for the
completion.

wanted at Lamberton to answer to the
charge of bastardy. He was in the
employ of a Lamberton drayman I'M
til recently, when hearing of his prob
able arrest, he drew his salary and
skipped. 1t is reported that he has
returned to Denmark. The girl in

Preceding or after the heavy weight
wrestling contest between Chas. Blatt
and j. E. Hodson in this city. next
Saturday evening there will be med
ium weight contest between Frank
Smith of Renville county and Ed.
Simmons of this city and light
weight contest between Walt Simmons
and George Bager, both of this city.
A large number of Sleepy Eye bloods
are DESTROYS of taking in these athletic
contests and it is probable that the
Northwestern will hold it's train until
after the exhibition is over on the ev-
ening in question.
The Board of Education held a
regular meeting last Monday evening.
The Board allowed bill for a car
load of coal on track for the school
house at the rate of Is cents per ton
cheaper than heretofore. 1t was also
made public that the heating plant at
the schoolhouse would absorb from 10
to 20 tons less this year than last. The
building committee was instructed to
have the arch over the east entrance
to the schoolhouse repaired. It was
reported that Prof. Torrens and the
other teachers we're giving their SER
vices during certain hours of the day
in instructing the pupils of Miss Van
Camps room, Miss VanCamp being
still confined to her rooms with
measles.
Occasionally one has to go away
from home to learn the news. The
New Ulm News says that 1--WE learn
that the people of Redwood Falls and
the surrounding farmers are much an
noyed by continual petty thieving OF
the half-breeds in the vicinity who
hang around the Indians at the old
Lower Sioux Agency. 1t seems that
almost everything in the line of poul,
try and some other articles that arc
exposed, are liable to be stolen by the
worthless half-breeds. People who
are suffering from this petty thievine
should petition to have the Indians
removed, else they should severely
punish the half-breeds." Inquiry
failed to confirm the statement of the
News.
The bloods of this section are to be
treated to genuine sporting event in
this city next Saturday evening. Two
heavy weight wrestlers, one of great
repute as an athlete, and the other q
local celebrity, will appear in five
bout catch-as-catch can wrestling con-
test. Charles Blatt is the assumed
name of the foreign crack. He is ad.
vertised as the ex-champion of Ger.
many and Scandinavia, and the sports
who know who he is, also know that
he is mountain of strength He weighs
PIG pounds. The other contestant is
j. E. Hodson of this city, at present
clerk of the Commercial Hotel. He
weighs 225 pounds. Both men are
we'll matched and an interesting ath-
letic contest is certain to take place
The contest will be for the gate re-
ceipts, one-third going to the loser
and two-thirds going to the winner
No fake will be tolerated. The strict
est of order will be observed.
