The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-05-05

Miss Mamie Riheldaffer came up
from Minneapolis on Wednesday Of
last week to act as a witness in the
case of Jones vs.. the assignee OF the
Citizens Bank.
VIM. VanHorn, confectionery
stand proprietor of Lamberton, made
an assignment to Fl. j. McKirdy of
that place last Saturday, according to
a deed of assignment fled with the
clerk of court. The assets amount to
$3.50 while the liabilities are between
$500 and $500.
The grand jury adjourned Thurs
day morning last, returning the indict-
ments mentioned in our last ISSUE,
and no others. Both Lester Rollins
and Fred. Bager were indicted for the
assault on the Chinaman The jury
reported that they found everything
clean in the county Jail and that the
court house was also properly taken
care of.
The results of last weeks inspec-
ton trip by the officials of the ST..
Louis road will be very gratifying to
the towns along the line, says the
Times. Numerous improvements have
been ordered, such as the construction
and improvement OF bridges, enlarge
ment of yards and buildings of stock
yards, etc. The road was found to be
generally in first-class condition. Thu
passenger department expects big
job with to-day's excursions to Mime
apolis provided the weather is favor
able.
The 1897 taxes become delinquent
on June LIST next, but under the new
law, enacted by the last legislature,
taxpayers can pay in one-half of the
amount charged against them before
June LIST, and thus avoid any penalty
until Nov. LIST, by which time the Sec
ond half of the amount will have to be
paid, or a penalty will attach. The
spring of the year being bad time
for the raising of money to pay taxes
it is probable that large number of
people will take advantage of
this law, and only pay one-half of
the tax before June LIST. The addi-
tional labor to the county treasurer is
quite an item, but his Office belonging
to the people they haye a right to de-
mand the best of accommodations

The lumber business is picking up,
and the local dealers report vast
amount of building in the country and
a fair lot in the city. On Thursday of
last week the Winona Lumber Co.
sold bill of lumber for 81 600 addi-
ton to the residence of Daniel Mckay,
residing near Belview, and on Monday
the Laird-Norton Co. closed deal for
the lumber for 81, 900 barn for Thos.

GobIirsch is making improvements on
his newly purchased tract in Vesta, and

ton to his house adjoining the city on
the south. Mrs. McKeliheer, who pur-
chased the Park Hotel rooms, has the
same repaired and in moving condi-
ton and will soon move the building
across the street on to her lots, and
have the same transformed into neat
corner residence, with her present
house moved back to be used as a
kitchen and sitting room.
