Fairfax Standards: For up-to date
journalism in country town the
REDWOOD GAZETTE of last week takes
the prize. The recent conference
of the Methodist ministers and lay
men, which was held in their
progressive town, was covered in a
manner that would have done credit
to papers of metropolitan aspira-
tions. Bros. Aiken & Schmahl are
competent and hustling newspaper
men and that their efforts are
appreciated is evident from the
splendid patronage which they en-
Joy. THE GAZETTE is pre- eminently
the newspaper of Redwood county.
In a trotting race between horses
owned by Will Tibbetts of Delhi
and Edward Pratt of this city, at
the fair grounds last Thursday
afternoon, the horse owned by the
former was an easy winner. The
race was for purse of $50, best
two out of three heats, and the
horses divided the first two heats.
On the third and final heat Mr..
Pratt's horse broke at the start and
ran nearly all the way around the
track, giving the race to Mr..
Tibbett's horse. The latter animal
is good trotting machine and won
more or less praise from the people
present to witness the contest.
Good farm of 100 acres in Under
wood township for rent. Inquire of
Mrs L. H. Terhell, Redwood Falls. S-5t
Murray Warner came down from
Minot, North Dakota, on Thursday
afternoon last. Mr.. Warner is en-
joying prosperity in that state, and
looks it. He stated that the fall of
snow around Minot several weeks
ago was not over five or six inches
deep on the leyel, drifting at places
into the feet. He says that the
storm lastei for about eight hours
and that it drove cattle to shelter
or entirely off the plains. 1T is
one of the storms that are likely to
happen at any time and any place, )"
said Murray, thoughtfully, and is
no criterion of the future" Mr..
Warner will return to Minot this
week.
Judge Powers has decided quite
an important real estate case in
favor of George Welsh of the Nor
ton eating house. Mr.. Welsh pur-
chased 100 acres of land in Beaver
Falls township of A. E. Brainerd of
Iowa on March 18th last. The deed
was to have been delivered to one
Of the banks in this city, but before
it was delivered D. T.. Crimmins
edged into the transaction in some
manner and secured possession of
the instrument. Mr.. Welsh COM
menced an action to secure title,
but afterwards Mr.. Crimmins sold
the land to Mike Dworshak. who
placed a mortgage on the same for
Sc, 400. Judge Powers holds that
the deed must be delivered to Mr..
Welsh for the amount agreed upon
by he and Mr. Brainerd, and that
if the property was mortgaged for
more than the amount the mortgage
must be the loser. The case is
| likelV to 90 to the Sllnreme cOurt
