The household and other effects Of
Isaac johnson were auctioned of last
Saturday afternoon BY Chairman But

ing the sale and the goods brought
fair prices.

County Treasurer Lankard finished
threshing on his farm west of town
last Saturday forenoon. He threshed
out over 5000 bushels of wheat, and
as he made the statement to repre-
sentative of this paper, he smilingly
remarked: mo wonderI couldn't be

The business houses of G. L.
Holmes, G. NJ. Huntington, Goodrich
& Stegner, George Lechner, Kuenzli
& Luscher, Francois & Schmahl and
Wolff, Southwick & Angel have
signed an agreement whereby their
stores are to be closed from this time
until May LIST, 1889, excepting Satur-
days and the week between Dec. 18th
and Oath, at 8 o'clock every evening.
Attorney D. A. Stuart, for G. L.
Holmes, made motion for judgment
on the pleadings in the case of 0. L.
Dornberg Us. Mr.. Holmes, an action
to recover commission for the sale of
land on contract, which Mr.. Holmes
afterwards refused to carry into effect.

1t is possible that a meeting of the
business men will be held next Sat-
urday evening for the purpose of pro-
testing against the irregular running
of Northwestern trains into this city.
As the matter now stands, trains are
from one-half to three hours late, and
as consequence business commune
cations are held up so that merchants
are unable to answer as promptly as
if trains ran on time. On Saturday
the mail is put to sleep in Sleepy Eye
from nine o'clock Saturday night until
from 800 until IL o'clock Monday,
and this outrage will be the chief SUBJ
ject of discussion at the meeting.
The Davidsons again paid tribute
to the government, as war assistance,
through the Office of the register of
deeds of Redwood county, last week.
Four documents we're filed, all per-
tanning to the Davidson lands in this
county. The first was an order of IL
cense to Julia B. Davidson, guardian,
to sell lands of Edward E. Davidson,
incompetent, on which a ten cent
stamp was required. The second
document was discharge of the lis
pendens which has thrown cloud ov-
or all of the Davidson lands in the
county, on which another ten cent
stamp was placed. The third was
deed given by Julia B. Davidson as
wife and guardian of Edward E. Dav-
idson, incompetent, to Watson P. Day.
idson, to the Davidson lands in this
county, on which there we're $645O
revenue, one $50 stamp, another $40
stamp, another So, another 81 and the
last for SO cents. The fourth instru-
ment was mortgage from Watson
P. Davidson and Sarah M. Davidson

The case of the Redwood County
Bank vs.. Sylvester Davis resulted in
verdict for the entire amount in favor
of the bank. The case involves the
Beard Gleason Davis combination. It
will be remembered that Gleason &
Co. wrote the insurance on the Park
hotel, and after the same was destroyed
by fire Gleason asked for his commits
sion on the deal. According to the
testimony Gleason and Beard drove to
Davis farm on Sunday, and after
great deal of urging secured Dayis'
signature to a note for $500, made
payable to F. I. Gleason. This note
was shortly afterward sold to tho Rod.
