fled to place the south half of the
southwest quarter of section 26,
Granite Rock, containing 50 acres,
on the tax list of the county. Up to
recently it has been supposed that
the tract was State land, but it
appears that the piece is owned by
the Great Northern Railway Co.,
under the swamp land grant act,
and the company is now about, or
has already transferred the same.
Whether back taxes under the An
derson law can be collected is a
question.
Commencing last Sunday there
will be three passenger trains daily
each way through Sleepy Eye. The
new train will 90 west at $40 a. m
and east at p. IN. The east train
will connect at Kasota with the
Omaha going south. The object of
putting on the two trains, which
will have John A. Wiley for con
ductor, is to relieve freight trains
of the heavy passenger traffic they
have been having recently. The
new card will make the train run
into Redwood Falls an hour later in
the morning-that is 1915 instead
of 9:2O. in case the train is on time.
In other words Redwood mail is to
be held up at Sleepy Eye an hour
longer and the government is to be
held up weekly at Sleepy Eye from
4:3O O clock Saturday afternoon I'M
til 1918 Monday morning, or until
the North western officials will be
pleased to run the train into Red
wood Falls We don't believe that
there is another city in the United
States that is subject to such gross
outrage. and we wonder just how
long the business men of the town
will stand it.
