Of the terrible loss to the Kleinpell
Bros. What we wish to say about it is
that the iron buyers hired Fred Bell
harz, ST., to break it into pieces which
he did successfully, not with sledge
hammer but with dynamite. Iron is
heavy but it fairly flew. AS evidence
of this two window sashes were torn
out by large piece of iron that struck
a building one hundred yards away.
One week ago last Sunday a party
of four of Cassville's respectable young
men, Messrs. V. Ishmael, Glen Smith,
Oscar Kleinpell and Otto Failing, left
Cassville for six weeks outing. They
went in Glen's gasoline launch that
was loaded with everything needed by
a camping party. They will stop at
every place between here and st. Paul,
take in the sights and then continue
on their way. It is certainly the ideal
way and the boys will have jolly
good time. The ladies of the J. n. N.
M. club 1--WE are not able to tell whether
the initials stand for Just Nine and No
More or Just Nice, Neat Mem received
box which proved to be from the out
ing party The box contained some
very interesting curios gathered by
the party. We don't know what the
geologist calls them but we will give
the common names: A piece OF cake,
a piece Of bread, a small pickle, fried
potatoes, a small beef bone, parings
from boiled potatoes, an egg she'll and
few blades of grass, each wrapped in
tissue paper. Who can say they are
not having a good time?
