Frank Murphey had tw o
years growth scared out of him
Friday night, when he was rap
ped over the head with 2x4, by
man, while he was wheeling out
the refuse at the Neville mill. At
ter Frank found out that the
fellow intended to do him up by
making a jab at his ribs after he
was down with an ugly looking
knife, he came to his senses and
remembered that he had a gun,
which he proceeded to draw and
fired at the fellow, who hollared
oh! and who started for town
while Frank made for the board
ing house, rousing the inmates
telling them he had shot a man.
The mill men got up and went

no man, no blood, he had escaped
Frank says hecan' It account for it
why an attempt should be made
on his life, as he didn't think he
had an enemy in the world. He
says anybody coming around
the mill after dark will either
have to give a good account OIL
themselves or get pumped full OF
bullets.

day evening to take some action in
the matter. County Attorney Lyon
was called to Royalton and met
with the council in it's deliberations.
The meeting resulted in the pass.
age OF an ordinance fixinggthe auc-
tioneer's license at $40 asry ,s r.S ~,
The stock OF goods h,9 question is
one that was in tho lands Of the
sheriff Of ore rsthe, counties in the
southern, r ~& Tia state. 1t was
brought to Royalton. and P. ]. Gross
ofjthis city was placed in charge o
the sale Of IT, Frank Armstrong, o
sRoyalton, who had procured q
county auctioneer's license; was en-
ployed and the stock was being sold
at auction.
The merchants, no doubt, hav
cause for complaint, but it seems
there is some doubt about the coun-
ell being able to stop It by passing
q high license ordinance. The city
OF st. Cloud had a similar exper-
fence about two years ago, and the
court, II we reccollect right, decided
that the council had no right to
pass an ordinance fixing the license
at a prohibitive figure, and it was
something less than $40 per day.
An attorney also informs US that a
case similar has just been decided by
the supreme court of the state from
the city OF Mankato. The license
there was fixed at $500 per
annum, and the court has decided
that the license was SO high that it
it was prohibitive and therefore
illegal.
Mr.. Gross went to Royalton this
morning. He expected some such
action by the council but said that
he expected to be through this week.
As the ordinance does not
take effect until after its publication,
Mr.. Gross will probably not contest
the validity Of the ordinance.
Whether Auctioneer Armstrong, who
has been making a business of
actioneering at Royalton this fall,
Intends to fight the ordinance we
have not been informed.

The recent talk about the early ex-
hausting fof the pine tributary to
the upper Mississippi, and the conse-,
quent ending Of the saw mill bust
ness on the river, does not meet the
approval of the men best able to
Judge. The Minneapolis Lumber
man had interviews on the subject
Of pine supply with the leading
manufacturers .of the state, and all
agreed that it would be several
years before there would be any de-
crease in the cut. 1t was generally
estimated that the, cut during the
next fifteen years W ould be as large
as it was the past fifteen.

From the Minneapolis Journal:
THE TAIL OF THE ELEPHANT.

From the minneapolis Journal:
THE TAIL OF THE ELEPHANT.
Charley Towne and six or
seven other free silver Republic
ans have issued an address to
the dissenters, taking the pas
sage of the currency bill by the
house as the occasion for the
emission of a doleful wall about
the wickedness and perverse-
ness of the Republican party in
going off and leaving it's old
time principles and it's con-
science and fidelity to the best
interests of the people, and a
few other like appurtenances
such as these, in their. keeping.
They seem to regret having
been made the heirs of all the
party's virtues and wisdom and
seem to appeal to the great
mass of the party to come back
and take these things off their
hands.
The so-called silver .Republi-
can, party is the funniest thing
that ever happened in politics.
It is as ridiculous as an ele-
plants tail, and every one
knows that that is about the
most comically inappropriate
and insignificant thing that ma
ture ever made, the largest ele-
plants having the measliest,
"ornerieet t." most ridiculous
little f1ayedout appendages, as
if nature had used up so much
material in making the noble
animal itself that there was
nothing left out of which to
make a decent tail. The Char
leytowne party is the tail of the
G.. o. p, and just as in the case
of the tail of an elephant, you
can't help but smile whenever
you see it Hopping around.
