The work of repairing the road
| bed on Main street by means of the
steam roller has progressed the past
week and two blocks are now nearly

Emil Seibel, of Watertown, has
commenced an action to fOreclose the
farm of Charles Paradies, of Shields.

optional clause which gave the
mortgage the right to foreclose in
case the mortgagor failed to pay in

due October |, 1896, hence the fore
closure proceedings hide
