limits beyond which family aft elton would

ing the privilege of crossing it many years
ago the entire property was turned over
to that corporation upon the agreement
that 1t should be maintained perpetually

O. B. Turrell stated to GAZETTE
reporter one day during the past
week that the earliest seeding he was
aware of in Redwood county COM
menced on Feb. 28th and the latest
commenced on April 28th-a range of
two months between the periods.
While this will be late season for
seeding he thinks it a cause for good
feeling as he has observed that in sea-
s-,as Where the seeding is late good
crop generally follows.
According to the report OF the in
surance companies the people of Red
wood Falls paid out $4,8OS.59 for in
surance policies during the year 1895,
and that during that year the losses
paid by insurance companies on prop
erty destroyed in this city amounted
to $5,Hl.i1, or greater amount OF
money than premiums paid. Lam
berton paid $l,975.7l and had losses
amounting to only $40. Morgan paid
$1,7O4.W and had losses amounting to
$277.5O. Sleepy Eye paid out SIS, ,926.O5

Milk receipts at the creamery are
increasing and the prospects for an
increase of business over last year are
exceedingly bright.
Our bright correspondent from Red
wood Falls township comes to the
front this week with the report of
seeding in that township. We believe
that the seeding done by Mr.. King is
the first of the season in Redwood
county. In fact it has been predicted
that there would be no seeding be-
fore the first of next week, even if the
spring rains held off. George Patter-
son OF Three Lakes is expecting to
commence Monday, although the
rains, if they come before that time
will postpone that date.
HE GAZETTE was notified yesterday
morning that all insolvency proceed
ings under the assignment of G. w.
George had been suspended, arrange
ments having been made to run the
elevator under a plan satisfactory to
all concerned. The following notice
has been handed to The GAZETTE for
publication: "Mr. E. G. Wheeler of
Brooks Griffith Co., commission firm
of Minneapolis, and the Bank of Red
wood Falls have decided to do away
with an assignee in the insolvency case
of G. W, George, Mr.. Caswell not hav-
ing yet fully qualified. Mr.. Wheeler
will stay here few days, and with
Mr.. George, will weigh all wheat on
hand. After that all outstanding stor-
age tickets will be assumed by the
Brooks Griffith Co. The same firm
Will buy the G. w. George elevator,
which will be run by G. w. George as
agent" This notice takes precedence
over the article published on the third
page of this paper regarding the as
sigument.
Judge Webber has set aside all the
transfers made by G. A. Taft and
wife to Frank Sheffel and then to
Ernest Taft of the south half of the
southwest quarter of section 6, Sheri-
dan. 1t will be remembered that the
Pitts Agricultural Works claimed that
the transfers were made for the pur-
pose of defrauding the company out
of $9l8.25, owing the company by
Taft on account of the purchase of a
threshing machine outfit. The COM
pany bad Taft up on supplementary
proceedings some time ago and he
fingered in Jail for few days on ac-
count of his refusing to answer ques-
tions put to him regarding the dispo-
sition of the property. The Judge
states that the transfer was made for
the purpose of hindering, delaying
and defrauding creditors, particularly
the Agricultural Works. He also
contends that the claim of this COM
pany is first lien upon the land and
that the company is entitled to re.
cover for all costs and disbursements
of the action.
