AMONG THE ROADS.

In railroad circles there is very
little news this week. It has been
learned that the reason for the
Minneapolis & st. Louis putting in
a division at Madison was owing to
the fact that the company does no
business west of the Minnesota
State line, and that one train will
be run from Madison to Watertown
and back-an accommodation train
each day, in case the division is
moved to Madison, which now seems
to be certainty. It is also rumored
but without sufficient foundation,
that the St. Louis will be into Red
wood Falls next year, and possibly
extend further from this city in
order to retaliate on the Northwest
ern for cutting into the St. Louis
territory west of Redwood Falls at
the stations of Ottawa and Vesta.
~
The Northwestern is doing big
things at Vesta. A depot twice the
size of other depots south, is being
erected there. A single stall en-
gine house is going up for use this
winter, with the promise that q
three or five stall house will go in
next spring. The tank is being inn
proved, and the long sidetracks all
indicate that the company is count
ing on extensions from that point.
1t is even limited that the line will
be built from Vesta to Redwood
Falls next spring, but Redwood
Falls people laugh at the rumors,
which arise each year.
The company is erecting saow
fences all along the line from San
born to Vesta, and the material
used is of the very best, III harmony
with the material used on the road.
It can be said that few new railroads
have better rails or better ties. or

A NOVEL WEDDING.
And Feast That Lasted Over
TWO Days.

A notable wedding ceremony took
place in the Indian church at the
agency on Wednesday morning last,
the knot being tied by Rev. w. H.
Knowlton, minister in charge. The
high contracting parties were Mr..
John Jones, an Indian young man
of excellent reputation, and Miss
jeanette Crooks, the eldest daugh-
ter Of Mr.. George Crooks, and who,
in addition to having been for sew
eral years the acknowledged belle
among the Indian maidens in these
parts, has been highly noted for her
accomplishments in music and lace
making. That the bride, arrayed
in her wedding gown of delicate
blue cashmere, with white carna-
tiors. and the regulation veil,
l,oked very lovely indeed, goes
without saying Nor was the brides
maid, Mrs. Samuel Jones. herself a
recent bride, and arrayed for the
occasion in her own bridal dress OF
white silk, a far second in this par
ticular. All things then proceeded
cum dignitate, and quite after the
approved manner of fashionable cir
cles everywhere. The bride was
met at the altar in due form by the
groom, who received her at the
hands of the father, and the ring
service was used. It was even OBJ
served that the lady contingent of
the invited guests. for the most
part, on hand at the church and
seated, at least an hour before the
ceremonies began.
The feast, however. which fol-
lowed at the residence OF the brides
parents, if not ordered quite SO
much after the white fashion as the
other things had been, was at least,
more scriptural. 1t lasted over
two days, Its invitation being to all
who cared to come, and Mr.. Crooks,
in his large hearted way, having
killed 20 turkeys and 50 chickens
as a substantial basis of the good
things with which the table contin-
ued to Be replaced until the last
guest had departed.
Jeanette is my firstborn, and
this is the first wedding in my fam
lily, and want her to have happy
start in life that she will always re-
member, said Mr.. Crooks, in par
tial explanation of the lavishness of
his hospitality for the occasion.

ARTHUR HALE HURT.

Arthur Hale, son of E. B. Hale of
this city, was dangerously injured
by fall from the new Minneapolis
& St. Louis railroad bridge across
the Minnesota river at New Vim, at
about $50 o'clock last Wednesday
morning.
Young Hale was in the employ Of
bridge company at the time OF the
accident, and the company had just
completed the bridge at that point,
and was preparing to remove its
tools and other implements of CON-
struction to southern point, and
Arthur was to accompany the crew.
A large rope was supposed to be
fastened to the upper portion of the
bridge, and Arthur, in moving
around and gathering up the tools
caught hold of the rope to support
himself while picking up one of the
tools. AS he did so, the rope,
which was not fastened, gave way,
and Arthur loosing his balance, fell
rs feet to the soft ground, between
two logs on the banks of the river.
He was picked up and placed
under the care of Dr. Schoch, who
observed that Arthur's spine was
injured and that he was also suffer-
ing from internal injuries. A telc-
gram was sent to Mr.. Hale at this
place, and Wednesday afternoon
they left for New Ulm, and on
Thursday morning Arthur was
placed on stretcher and brought
to Redwoo Falls, since which time
he has been under the care of DR..
Schlegel, who is of the opinion that
the young man will recover.
Arthur states that he struck on
his left shoulder and back, and that
it was miraculous that he fell be-
tween the two logs into the soft
ground, for had he struck either log
would be have been killed. His pains
are the most severe when he is
compelled to move, for when he lies
still he is perfectly easy.

railroad company hitched one of it's
engines to partially completed
elevator belonging to Foster &
Miller, Echo, and located on the
company's right-of-way at Vesta,
last Friday afternoon, and in two or
three jerks of the engine the un-
completed structure was a total
wreck.
1t was one of the boldest pieces
of wreckage by railroad company
tlat has probably ever been record
ed in this section of Minnesota.
Foster & Miller claim that they
made application to the Northwest
ern agent at Vesta for a site to
erect an independent elevator on
the right-of- way of the Northwest
ern company at that place, and claim
to have received an oral permit
from the agent to 90 ahead with the
erection of the elevator until the
company PERMISSION or refusal
was secured. The agent admits
that application was made, but
makes no s. s'a.ment on the question
as to whether or not he was report
ed correctly by Foster 4 Miller.
The latter firm, however, immedi-
ately commenced work on the erec-
tion of handsome elevator of about
10000 bushels capacity, just east Of
the new stock yards in Vesta.
/ The sub-structure was up, lard the
carpenters were busily engaged in
! putting up the superstructure, and
had the same up about ten or fifteen
feet, when a Northwestern engine
and caboose, the latter loaded with
men, steamed into town, under
orders to wreck the partially CON-
pleted elevator.
The Northwestern crew ordered
the Foster & Miller crew to cease
work, and then placed their tools in
their chests, and piled the latter to
one side. A long and stout rope was
brought out from the caboose, and
one end was attached to the engine
while the other, to which was
fastened a strong iron hook, was
fastened to the northeast corner
of the partially completed building.
The engineer turned on the steam.
the drive wheels gave two or three
quick jumps. and in less than a
minute the entire uncompleted
structure was mass of debris, the
northeast corner turning the whole
building around until it fell in a
heap. The destruction was COM
| plete.
Whether Foster & Miller will sue
for damages by reason of the
malicious destruction OF their pro-
perty remains to be seen. Certain
ly, it seems that the actious of the
company, done without notifying
| Foster & Miller to remove their
lumber and uncompleted structure,
was one of the grossest outrages
ever perpetrated by corporation.
The farmers who have since been
doing business in Vesta take it as
a personal insult and are exceed
iugly wrathy at the company.
On Saturday morning Foster 4
Miller were buying wheat, and
having the same hauled into cars on
the track, and it looked, by the way
the wheat was coming in, that they
would have all the wheat of that
section, marketed before the Mime
sofa elevator would be ready for
business. The wheat was weighed

II Is considered by the best mining

some figure has made the best bargain

as nothing is to be done but TO brenk
down and hoist the ore the profits that
can be realized from the developed por-
tion OF the mine alone are estimated at
$5,0o0.0O0.
Besides the ore in sight 1t is consid-
cred that the ground below the present
workings, the depth Of the mine being
only 300 feet. are many times greater
than what has been already produced
and blocked ont. Taking the estimate
OF the standing ore aud what is known
TO have been produced from the upper
