Granite Falls Tribune: Joe Ty-
son of Redwood Falls, was in town
Sunday on his return from North
Dakota, where he has been hunting
for some good grazing land. He
does not speak very enthusiastic
cally Of that State and proposes to
visit the northern portion of this
domain shortly, where land is
cheap and hay plenty. Joe is one
of the best stock growers in these
parts and takes lots Of pride in the
strain of cattle he produces. Polled
Angus is his hobby and he gives
his reasons why.
A petition was circulated last
Friday asking the government to
discontinue the Vail postoffice, says
the Wabasso Standard, Since the
Office has been established in this
village the Vail postoffice was &C
corded very little patronage, in
fact, so little that the postmaster of
that place has rendered his resig-
nation. It is understood that an
attempt will now be made to estab-
lish regular mail route from Red
wood Falls to this village via New
Avon and if this is accomplished it
will not only be Of considerable
convenience to the merchants but
to the citizens as we'll.
| Sanborn Sentinel: Wednesday
night of last week R. Kosel S young
est son, august, lad about 6 years
old, met with serious accident
while watching his brothers work
about the barn. The Kosel boys
and a number of the neighbors'
boys were filling the barn with
hay, using the ordinary hay fork.
AS the load was ascending the pull
ley nearest the door became broken,
and the two pieces flew several feet,
striking the little fellow in the head
crushing the frontal bone in TWO
places. At first no hope was en-
tertained for his recovery, but he
has improved so rapidly that he is
out Of danger.
The climate and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau for the week
ending May 21st is as follows: The
middle of the week was cool and
light frosts occurred in different
parts of the State on the mornings
of the 18th, 18th and 18th, in ex-
posed places. In Becker, Hub
bard and Cass counties rains, most
of them very light, fell on the 14th
and 10Th, and in southeastern conn
ties there we're rains on the same
dates, which were hardly more than
light showers except in the extreme
southeastern corner of the State,
where, especially in Houston and
Winona counties, they were heavy
enough to delay all work but plow-
ing; in parts of Mower and Fari-
bault counties the rains were mod
erately heavy. All the rest of the
State has had no rains during the
week. Where the rains fell in
sufficient amounts they were very
beneficial to the late sown grain aud
pastures. In general, early sowa
wheat, oats, and barley do not seem
to be in immediate need of mois-
ture; they are stooling nicely and
being benefited by the cool weather,
but the late sOwn grains, corn, flax,
