Sank Centre Has a Traitor.

On Friday evening after the news OF
the attempted assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley had been received, an
employee on the Great Northern Sec
ton was in the depot and remarked
substantially that he was glad of it,
and hoped the president would die,
Telegraph Operator Walters could not
and would not quietly submit to such
talk, and he jumped through the win
dow between the Office and waiting
room and would have given the fellow
a weil-deserved pounding but for the
fact that the man Is a cripple. AS il
was he elected him from the depot
with his opinion ia anmistakable terms
following him. s.. ..-.-
The cripple is known as 'peg-leg''
and the incident was related on the
street. ''Peg-leg' was easily convert
ed to PegIow, and the genial cigar
maker of that name has been subjected
to serious annoyance by reason of it.
The fact is that Mr.. Peglow is as vehe-
ment as anyone in denouncing the
dastardly deed.

New Firm--NeW Business.


Sank Centre has long felt the need of
a reliable cash market for farm pro-
duce and that demand is about to be
met. George Fish and Emery Van
Norman have entered into partnership
and leased the Fisher property, corner
Main and Fourth-sts., and will put in
a stock of -four and feed, and will
purchase butter, eggs, live poultry,
and farm produce generally, paving
the highest market prices therefor.
They will also establish woodward,
which will prove great convenience
both to buyer and seller. In case the
local price for produce of any kind is
not satisfactory to the seller the firm
will send it forward on commission,
and sell it for all that can be obtained
for i, in Minneapolis or St. Paul.
In addition to this business it is the
purpose to hold stated auctions where
all kinds of goods and merchandise
will be sold on commission to the
highest bidder. This will give far
mers and others an opportunity to
| find a sale for anything they may wish
to dispose of providing it is at all
salabie. The building is being fitted
up for their immediate use and they
will be ready for business early next
week.

Wolves Kill Sheep.

On Monday afternoon while driving
past Theadore r. Barnes's farm, in
Kandota. c.. A. Emerson and friend
discovered large wolf in the pasture
with Mr.. Barnes's sheep. They went
to his house and got gun and secured
an unsuccessful shot at the animal,
which unfortunately escaped. Mr..
Barnes has lost ten sheep during the
past year by wolves, and Mr.. Rowe
has lost even more. 1t is estimated
that fully fifty sheep have been killed
in that one township by wolves during
the past year. Mr.. Barnes feels that
the state was rather premature in cut
ting down the wolf bounty, and says
that if these depredations continue he
will be forced out of the business OF
sheep raising.

Transfer of Farm Lands.


Saveral important real estate deals
have been consumated during the past
week through the agency of M. Hogan
and F. E. Minnette. George Mann
has purchased of r. o. Hall the eighty
acres now occupied by him just north
west OF the city for $3.50. Mr.. Mann
has sold the half-section lying south
of this purchase, known as the Boss
farm to Ferdinand j.. Bergman and
his brother Henry for 81 900 and pur-
chased Fred. Borgmanp's half-sectiop
in Ashley for $500. Henry Borg
mann secures eighty acres adjoining
his farm and his brother takes the re-
manning 240 acres, which includes the
buildings. BY the transaction two
excellent farms are changed. The
purpose of Fred. Bergman in selling
was to get farm adjoining that OF his
brother Henry. The brothers now
have together about 800 acres r. a
body.
While the prices realized are not
large, considering the property, yet
they indicate a healthy confidence in
farming lands.
