4 The concert given by the Cycle
OF the PRESBYTERIAN church at the
opera house last Wednesday even
ing was one of the best functions OF
the kind ever held in this city, and
the advertised programme succeed
ed in drawing out the largest crowd
that has ever attended a concert in
which strictly local people partici-
pated. All of the several selections
were roundly applauded, while the
solos by Mr.. Howard, Miss King,
Mr.. Buxton, Mr.. Barackman, Mrs.
A. j. Jones and Mr. Price were
unusually we'll received. The
whistling efforts of N. V. R..
Hunter, and the piano work of Miss
Isham and Miss Cooper, and the
clarionet solo by Mr. Williams as
sisted materially in making the
affair success.

spread before the assembled party.
During the evening a letter was
read from Mrs. l.. n. Rowe, who
was unavoidably absent at New
Ulm, congratulating Mr.. and Mrs.

A Marshall special says that
Lyon county added another I'M
fortunate this week to the number
confined in the Redwood county
Jail in default of the completion of
the new Lyon county jail. who are
waiting the meeting of the grand
jury and district court here in
December: unfortunate in this
case, as there is little likelihood of
the man S conviction. A thresher
! borrowed his employers horse
and buggy to go to town, couple of
miles distant, became intoxicated,
quit his job, and was arrested for
horse stealing. Upon technicality
he was bound over to the grand
jury. There are now in the Lyon
county jail ten Lyon county prison
ers, eight awaiting grand jury dis
position, and two serving 30 and
SO days sentences and there has
been one other, fifteen day man.
Lyon county has jail containing
three cells in the court house base
ment, where are confined six other
prisoners, five awaiting the grand
jury and one completing a six
months sentence. The Jail was
condemned by the State board of
corrections and charities, and new
$4,000 Jail and sheriff's residence
is under construction, but will not
be completed before the end of the
year. The State board allowed the
confinement of six prisoners in the
basement Jail in consideration of a
Jail being built at once, and the
time was limited to Oct. I, but has
since been extended to Jan. l. The
new building is we'll along, the
walls about completed and the pris-
oners may occupy it by the time
court sets in December.
