NAMING MADELIA.
Little History Brought to Light by The
Times.

The Madelia Times has been delving
into ancient history and in its issue
of this week reproduces the following
from thirty years ago:
In an account of an old settlers
meeting, Feb. %, 1874, was the fol-
lowing: "Hon. D. Back of Mankato
was next called on and responded by
saying he came to this place in 1867
and made the claim now the farm of
W. W. Murphy. He was here when
the original townsite was laid out and
did the surveying and plating of it.
Gave information regarding its his
tory and the origin of the name. The
proprietors of the site were Messrs.
Hartshorn. Shepard and Haire and
there was quite controversy, which
was detrimental to the place, as to
what its name should be. According
to Mr. Bucks version, there was a
little coincidence in this. that Mr..
Hartshorn had daughter and Mr..
Hare had sister named Madelia,
SO it was resolved that the town re-
ceive that name. -

Every policeman, from the captain
of the precinct down to the patrolman,
has his staff of friends and aids, who
assist him materially in successfully
accomplishing his work of huLting
down criminals. Sergeant J. R.
Saunders and Patroleman nj. D.
Caulk, of Baltimore are better equip
ped in this respect than the average
sleuth.
At the head of the list of those
whom they may depend upon for in
formation stand the names Ready,
Tracy the Outlaw and Happy Hooli-
gan. These sobriquets are the titles of
three dogs who have for the last Is
months accompanied Saunders and
Caulk upon their daily patrols. and
in that time their keen scent and un-
usual sagacity have been instrumental
in laying several important cases to
the credit of the officers.
Probably the most important service
the dogs have rendered thus far has
heen the rescuing of blacksmith
from drowning. The man had fallen
down a steep embankment into Stony
Run, and, swollen as the stream was

the shore. His calls for help had al
most ceased when one of the trio came
upon his scent along the edge of the
bank far above the stream. and, fol-
lowing this, the three directed their
masters to where the man, half frozen
and totally exhausted, was about to
let his head sink under the water.
Lemuel Porter, the blacksmith, says
he owes his life to the dogs, and so he

lowing day.
Sometime after their adoption by
the officers they located stolen

thieves. The animal would have prob
