has thrown out such inducements
that we are pleased to note that sew

wiser than to chase "Klondyke Will

Charles Ely, ST., Charles Ely, Jr.,
and John Ely we're discharged by
Justice Fleischer at North Redwood
Tuesday. The three we're arrested on
tire charge of destroying property by
fire. It appears that two Granite
Rock people named ORourke and
Nancy sowed piece of land in dis
pute between the government and
railroad company with flax last year.
The fax was harvested but the thresh-
ers, after threshing load of it, refus-
ed to thresh any more on the ground
that the crop was not worth threshing.
This spring the Elys went on to the
tract and burned the old fax there and
sowed the field to crop. O'Rouke and
Nancy were incensed at the Elys get
ting ahead of them on the sowing, and
made demand for the fax destroyed.
The Elys refused and then came the
warrant for their arrest, which result
ed as above stated. A. G. Dolliff was
attorney for the Elys.
E. c. Greene and George W. Dick
inson received telegram from Col. j.
Frank Rogers Of Owatonna asking
the former two to meet him and John
Kendall at Springfield last Sunday
morning, and then accompany the two
to Redwood Falls from Springfield on
their wheels. Messrs. Greene and
Dickinson complied with the request.
On leaving Springfield the party en-
countered an exceptionally strong
northwest wind, and pumping the
wheels was correspondingly hard.
When seven miles out Col. Rogers.
tired of the pumping, caused an acct
dent to happen to his wheel, whereby
he secured a farmer to haul both he
and the wheel to Redwood Falls. The
other riders continued to within seven
miles of this city when E. G. Greene
happened to overtake a team coming
in and he concluded that riding with
out propelling was better than pro-
polling, and he accordingly came into
town by team. The two that made
the distance without the use of other
than wheel power were Messrs. Ken
dali and Dickinson.
