An Ancient Landmark.

| The cid stockade is gone, torn down.
The work of demolition commenced on
Wednesday. 1t is the property of the
| Woolford estate, and what there was left of
| it has been used for barn for some time.
The old stockade was among the first
structures erected in Sank Centre, and
really marks the beginning of Sank Centre
as a fixed settlement. When the Sioux out
break occurred in this state this country was
full Of hostile Indians, Alexander Ramsey
was governor of this state. Alexander
Moore was in St. Panl, called upon the
governor and persuaded him to send COM
pany of state troops here, and then drove
home, practically without stopping, to mott
fly the settlers of the danger. The territory
was thinly settled, but courriers were sent
out to warn them, and they came in to this
point, the stockade was built and occupied
by a company of troops for year Or more.
Many of our most valued citizens were
among these soldiers, and were attracted
here to make this their permanent home by
the pleasant impressions formed of this sec
ton while on duty.
Itwould require columns to tell the story
OF the old stockade, and the thrilling Incl
dents connected with that campaign in this
vicinity. The destruction of the old stock
ade is the breaking of link of the chain
which binds together the old and the new,
so far as this civ is concerned

Horse Race.

The tedious monetary of the long winter
was somewhat relieved on wednesday, by a
horse race. VIM. Meigs, the owner of
"dray Billie, and F. E. Miunette, owner of
the Indian pony, "Spotted Horse" each put
up five dollars, the race to come off at AGO
p. m. At three O'Clock Meigs put s'Dray
Billie" in active training by walking him
two blocks. Minnette put s'Spotted Horse"
in condition by starving him at noon. Quite
a crowd went down toward the mile bridge
to see the race. The riders mounted and the
scoring commenced. The rider of Dray
Billie got swift start but the horse didn't,
the result was, the rider landed in the mud.
Another rider that wouldn't start so quick,
was placed on Billie, and the great race was
on. Spotted Horse won in canter. Billie
coming in a long second with the slow
measured tread of horse working on a
draw
