Sleepy Eye Dispatch: An important
event occurred in western Redwood
county last week when the Hon. John
Neversweat Jones sold his farm aud de-
cided to move into Lyon county. This
clears the political atmosphere of our
next door neighbors but it transfers to
Lyon county politician of no mean
qualifications. Some of the fellows in
Lyon who think they own the county
will find out their mistake after Jones
gets located and learns the ropes.
A strong wind storm came up sudden
ly about five o'clock last Thursday ev
ing. 1t came from the northwest and
the skies looked so threatening for
time that residents in the probable path
took to their cellars or residences. The
strong wind lasted for few minutes
only and did no damage so far as heard
from. A few drops Of rain fell, after
which there was calm. The heat on
that day and two days prior was suffi-
cient to justify heavy wind and rain
storm.
Ex-senator Thos E. Bowen got into
quarrel with the Chief of Police at
Winona last week as result of a news
paper roast, says the New Ulm Review.
The quarrel waxed warm in very short
order and Bowen was soon in the lock-
up. He was given hearing the next
day on the charge of calling the Chiefs
liar, with several adjectives annexed,
but was acquitted within three minutes
after the jury left the court room. The
opinion seems to prevail in Winona
that Bowen has much the best of the
dispute
According to The Journal of last
Wednesday w. M. Todd, at one time a
Redwood Falls newspaper man, but
later with the Fidelity Casualty Insur-
ance Co., with headquarters in st. Paul,
is to be insurance commissioner of this
State, to succeed G. H. Smith, who
died about three weeks ago. The
Journal claims that the eX-RedwOod
newspaper man is to receive the ap-
pointment for work performed for Gov.
Clough in carrying the tenth ward of
Ramsey county. Todd is good rustler
and has been an active political worker
in the interests of Gov. Clough. His
friends here will hope that the appoint
ment will be made.
New Ulm News: Within the past
week farmer was stopped on the OPP
posite side of the Lafayette bridge, as
he was crossing the river to the city, by
small army of tramps, who wanted
some money. But being in daylight
he was not robbed. On Saturday night,
about ten o'clock, several workmen in
the shop of Albert Kiesling, in goose
town, were stopped on the sidewalk by
three tramps, who were soon joined by
two others, and threatened an assault;
but one of them discovered that the
man they wanted was not there, and
SO stated, and the men held up were al
lowed to go on. The animus of the
hold-up was in the fact that several of
the tramps had been driven out of Mr..
Kiesling's shops during the day, and
they wanted revenge.
