The records have all been broken in
the buggy and wagon business A.
Small is selling them at astonishing low
prices.
j. E. McFadden returned home We'd
nesday morning. During his absence
he visited at Pennington, Mimi,
where his niece graduated with highest
honors, saw the commencement exer-
cises at Fairbault military school and
witnessed a sham battle hat was very
interesting aud spent two days with
Minneapolis relatives. He reports that
the crops in this country may be a little
behind those of Minnesota. This was
Mr.. McFadden's first visit in seventeen
years and he had a delightful time all
the time.
One of our local ministers discovered
a couple making cooings very strong
Wednesday afternoon and he went up
to them and offered his services in tying
the knot, but they were declined and
the couple broke away much TO the
disgust of an interested crowd of spec
tators who had been taking in the love
making for an hour. OF course love is
blind and the lovers were o able to
see that they were being watched and
therefore had cnt out none OF the tender
embraces that usually 60 in such per-
formances.
Papers were sworn out Monday for
William Fitzgerald charging him with
the crime of rape Oh the five year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Schacher. He was found at Waubay
and brought to this city and placed in
Jail. The hearing was had Tuesday
and Justice Rathbun, before whom the
case was tried, bound the defendant
over t the next term of the circuit
court and placed his bonds at one
thousand dollars. Up to the time we
go to to press the bonds have not been
secured and Fitzgerald is in Jail.
The base ball boys departed Sunday
for a three days trip down the road dur
ing which time they played three games
of ball with Renville. The first game
was played at Ortonville Sunday and
the score was Renville 6, Webster 2.
The second game was played at Apple
ton and here the boys were beaten by a
score of Is to /. The third game was
played al Renville on the home grounds
of that team and our lads secured a VIC
tory by a score of Z to 4. The boys
played good ball all the time but the
company is a little too fast for them.
Edward Carnahan, who arrived here
last week to accept a position in
Waughop's barber shop, resigned We'd
nesday evening. He is an excellent
workman and gave splendid satisfaction
to his employer and to the patrons of
the shop, but he refused to work where
the shops are kept open until nine
o'clock. His kick seems just to US.
There are only the residents of Webster
to shave after the hour of eight and we
think the BARRIERS are foolish to keep
their shops open later than this. All
work and no play is not good for any
body.
w. X. Carver, who was IN partner
ship with l.. II. Boerger in the bakery
business in this city for some time, the
day after the circus gathered up all the
available funds of the firm and left for
parts unknown. Mr.. Boerger shows
the kind of stuff he is made of for in
spite of the loss he has suffered he has
gone to work with renewed energy and
the business of the bakery is running
right along in first class shape and doing
a fine business. Such grit is worthy of
assistance in the way of a liberal patro.
mage and we feel sure that the public
will accord this.
