Raritan.

A well known farmer of Nutley town
ship, Engrebet Nilsen, broke his leg in
two places while on his road home from
Webster Saturday evening. Did not
learn the particulars.
1 want you Mr.. A. to prove that
mail Hammer" has distributed cor
r~espondence to any man in Raritan or
Lynn township. If you cannot you are
a coward and a liar, but the people are
fully aware You Judge others according
to your WI doings.
Election was held in the Dibble scho oil
house Tuesday and the following
persons elected to the township offices:
Supervisors, Chairman, Peder NJ. Pc der
son; Peter Ronshaugen, Ole Giosemodt;
Clerk, Gust Swanson; Assessor, John
Phillips; Justice, IL. A. Dibbls; Cons
table. Gilbert Gilbertsou. | hope the
World correspondent il salts fled aud
that the outcome al the election will O
stand Tor hIm as an injury to the other
district. The selfish ring, as stated IN
the World, ~ broken, but fortunately as
all are aware no one WAS hurt.
Plums aud cheese must be plentiful in
narlian according 10 the World CORES
ibllfit ~ AhCA - 80 f''F
| evident that the above writer has had
too much pIums aud cheese ately and
as a result he is now suffering from Il
bad attack oi the belly-ache. As to the
political ring TO which he refers it
stands greatly to the credit of the
persons holding office i'll Raritan that
they nave SO faithfully discharged their
duties that the voters wonld renomi-
nate them ior another term. The tr nth
is that there was once a political ring
in Raritan which was headed by A. and
how much OF the taxpayer plums aud
cheese it swallowed nobody kno VS. but
the ringsters themselves. but it can be
safely asserted that their actions We're
| such tina, they were excused from any
further service in the township offices.
Now A.. seems TO think il il time to lake
revenge on their successors and There
lore he and hIs helpmute from lynn, "a
former inmate OF the lankton Insane
| Asylum proclaimed u meeting Tor March
7th Tor the purpose oil organizing IA
smash rug etc. We sincerely hope their
victims said their prayers before lea VI ng
home on the eventlul day.
NAIL HAMMER
As Ingrebet Nelson, of Nutley town
ship, was proceeding homeward Satur-
day evening and had reached a point
about 8 miles north of town, a tug be-
came unfastened, as his team
descended a hill, which allowed
the wagon pole to drop down,
soaring the team into running away.
The wagon was turned over, throwing
Nelson and a companion out, breaking
Mr.. Nelson's left leg in three places
assistance o reached him and he was
conveyed back to town, where DIR. Pea
body set the fractured limb and he was
admitted to st. Johns hospstal.
Chas. Ebert, of Morton township, is
busy these days in hauling out a 5000
bill of lumber, from the st. Croix Lum-
Der Co, for the erection of what will be
one of the largest barns in his section OF
the county. The dimensions Of the
proposed building are 120x52 feet, to be
fitted up with the latest improvements.
Mr.. Ebert is one of the most enthusiasts
tic patrons of the creamery and the
large barn in needed by reason OF the
extensive scale in which he is engaged
in this industry. "Lrops or no crops, the
the creamery pays for my barn" he
cheerfully remarked, and he is a man
who knows what he is talking about.
Webster is already agitating the orga
nization of a ball team and the citizens
are always ready to contribute literally
towards the maintenance OF a nine.
Groton has as many base ball enthusiasts
as any town of its size in the northwest,
but they lack the necessary "wherewith"
TO make it "a bowling success. With a
little s~ubstansial backing a good battery
could be procured ard the rest of the
material we have right here at home.
What's the matter with organizing IA
stock company, fence in the diamond
and have IA ball game or two in Groton
this coming summer. Groton ludepen-
dent.
Kate Hayes arrived in the city Fri
day to visit u few weeks with her
