Glenn's Ferry Facts,

For the past three or four weeks
Glenn's Ferry has been daily in.
vaded with hordes of tramps, com
ing into the town from both direc-
tons. The fact of the town being
railroad division terminal station
makes it either dumping ground
or a place of soiourn for these mis-
cradle wanderers. OF course many
are honest men, willing to work if
they could be employed, and the
creatures of Mckinley prosperity p
but they are easily distinguished
from the idle, vicious element
These pests of society invade the
town both in platoons and compa-
MES, from 20 to 100 arrivals every
day. Burglaries and thefts have
been numerous, and even lone pas
sengers remaining in the coaches
while the others were in the eating
house, have been blackmailed and
bullied. Arrests have been made
only in very fragrant cases, owing
to the expense following such pro-
ceedings. Constable Smith, if in
clined to, could easily fill the Gala
boose every night and not travel far
to do so. The people here have toll
Grated the nuisance to great ex-
tent. 1t is serious question con
fronting the public, which demands
legislation to meet it. A great
many prisoners now in the county
Jail have been sent from here, but
excepting Freel and Mrs. Kensler
they are not Glenn's Ferry people,
and even those parties do not prop
erly belong to the Riverside town
Mrs. Kensler being from King Hill, |
nine miles from here, and Freel
properly belonging to Ketchum.
While the operations. of the law are
expensive, yet taxpayers must be

to the willing and cause the never
sweats to give this State the go-by.

a powerful threshing machine was torn

bolt struck ]. A. Farley's farm and
killed Samuel Lawrence, a colored farm
hand, badly burned another, and in

play flooded all the water ways and
the loss of property owing to fires

chants and manufacturers character
ize the business record for the hrSt nall

with anticipatiOns in December, 1895.
On the other hand, confidence is wide
spread in a revival Of demand this fall.

Industries. iron and steal cottonS and

Improvement and woOlens next, al
though tariff delays have taken the
edge off demand in that line and per

goods still suffer from cut prices, ex-
cessive competition and heavy pro-
duction. There is a better demand for
silks, millinery and confectionery,
which. aside from the prosperity of the
bicycle industry, constitute exceptions.

SHE SKIPPED TO ST. PAII.
August Stark Thinks His Fiancee
Had Another Lover.

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, June 25. = August Stark
came to Winona several weeks ago from
Huntley, Ill. Today he was to have been
married to his cousin, Miss Annie Stark of
this city. August is a farm hand He says
he paid $40 for a wedding dress ST for
ring and then finally 81 for a marriage Ii
cense. But for some reason Annie did not
want to be married. Last night she left
her sisters home, saying she was going to
her own. But she did not. She went to
the barn, packed her clothes from her trunk
in some paper secured from a neighbor and
left a note in the trunk saying she was going
to drown herself in the river and if her
people wanted to see her they could come to
the Diamond Joe dock. Her prospective
husband, however thought differently. With
her sister he went to a dressmakers, where
the wedding garment was being made Here
he found Annie had secured the dress and
paid $3.50 for its making. He knew she
had not a cent, and at once suspected some
thing. He went to the Milwaukee depot
next, and there ascertained that his loved
one had gone to st. Paul on the 4:3O a. m
train. Also that man whom August swears
is certain troublesome Bill Smith bought
the girls ticket, and must have also given
her money to secure the dress. He believes
she is with an Ella Kruger in st. Paul. but
does not know the address. He has placed
the police on the trail to return his bride
