Wyalusing. There were represent
atives present from all the neighbor-
ing towns and several from other
states, Rev. III. G.. Chambers of Mil
ford, Iowa, and Will Strong of Browns
dale, Mimi. The horses brought fair
prices, and consequently neither buyer
nor seller has occasion to feel dis
satisfied. Mr.. Glenn is celebrated
breeder of fine horses, and his tract of
25O9 acres is an ideal stock farm. On
this place is the famous Point Look
out, from which grand vantage point
many visitors view the Mississippi and
Wisconsin rivers at the point of the
intermingling of their waters, which
form at flood stage body of water
several miles wide, dotted here and
there little islands covered with
trees. The view is grandly imposing.
The creeping, ribbon-like trains cross
ing the tiny Burlington bridge; the
river craft plying the peaceful waters;
the cities of Prairie du Chen and Nc
Gregor reposing in distance-enchanted
quiet0de on the flats in the distance,
softened to beautiful, dim outlines in
the PARKWAY haze, and the grand
fifteen-mile view up the mighty Faith
er of Waters, coming down from the
north between graceful, round-topped,
forest helmed bluffs, form the most en-
trancing panorama of earth, sea and
sky ever witnessed by the writer, in fact
the glory of all beholders from the
first French voyageurr down to the
present time.
Under Sheriff w. J. Dyer was over
last week, chasing some boys who

have trouble ahead if they are not
careful.

mon with some engineers. A hind
