Sleepy Eye Dispatch: Miss Kittie
Carroll is probably a little better than
at our last report but she is still in a
most critical condition. The serious
nature of her trouble and the warm
weather have to be contended with
and her recovery will be slow. All
that her physician and nurse can do
for her is being done and her friends
hope for the best.
James Huston, who was arrested
here several weeks ago. on the charge
of burglarizing the Madsen residence
in Sleepy Eye, stood trial before the
district court of Brown county week
before last, and was found guilty by
the juy. John Lind defended the
young man. Judge Weber sem
fenced Huston for term of two years
in the Saltwater prison.
F. S. Pollard left for Minneapolis
Friday, owing to report from that
city that his mother, who has been
there receiving treatment for some
time past, was not improving as rapid
ly as possible. During the afternoon
S. Pollard received a letter from his
wife stating that she was feeling
slightly better. F. S. returned from
Minneapolis on Tuesday.
Last Thursday was the hottest day
of the season, the thermometer dane
ing around the nineties at it's own
sweet will. Scarcely a breath of air
was stirring and all day long it was
sweltering. Work was generally sus-
pended and people took to the shade.
the river or to the cooling quarters in
their easements. Thursday night the
heat continued and very few residents
of this section found a full nights
sleep.
Marshall Messenger: julius can
now claim Redwood Falls to be the
"Paree" of the northwest. The Ga
zETTE quotes foreign visitors as saying
the streets of Redwood Falls are more
like the boulevards of French cities
than anything they had seen in their
circuit of the globe. Here's to Red
wood, the prettiest town in South
western Minnesota-always, of course,
excepting Marshall and here's to
Julius and his gold mines and French
boulevards.
The notice of motion for new trial
in the case of the county commission
ers against the bondsmen of the Citi-
zens Bank has been filed with the
clerk of court. The motion is based
on the action of the trial court in re-
fusing to allow the defense to with
draw its admission of the amount
claiming to be due the county after
the case was commenced. The de-
Tense wanted to amend the admission
to the extent of denying that the
full amount claimed by the county
had been deposited, and that the
amount was $l,OO7.35 less that sum
1t appears that this amount was charg-
ed up to the bondsmen as a deposit
when the county merely charged it
against the bank as taxes paid fol-
1894. The notice is accompanied by
several afidavits to the effect that the
bondsmen and their attorneys onlv
discovered the error the night before
they made the motion.
A good story is told on a gallant
young man of Redwood Falls, while
in the company of an esteemed lady
of this city at New Ulm last Sunday.
1t appears that the two, arm-in- arm,
we're walking up the principal street
of New Ulm, and behind them was an
unknown couple walking ditto. A
lady driving fast horse and small
boy with a big firecracker we're the
