The following from the .Chaska Review
is sample of the current brand of wild
and woolly fabrfcations:
It is said that, Jim Hill is being repeatedly
touched" by the, Collins gang and is Yielding
without murnur. While there Is no positive
proof of this statement, it Is perhaps safe to
assume it's accuracy upon the grounds that
Jim Is making an effort to get even with MI
Dunn because Of the latters action in compelling
the Great Northern railway to accept the lands
enumerated in the Biermann deed and pay taxes
thereon ftftStc .t,. 3 - -s.;F.Es n
OF course the flrst G statement is too fool

There was funny incident at the Dunn
headquarters Monday night, when meet
ing Of the first ward Dunn workers was
held. AS the meeting was about to break
I up, one Of the workers pulled from his
pocket Hearst petition, and proceeded to
solicit signatures for the Hennepin Coun-
| ty Hearst club. Strange to say, altho 1t
was republican meeting, the Hearst
man was not thrown out, and he sue
ceeded in getting a string Of signatures
right there. Some refused to sign, and
afterward expressed the opinion that it
was not the proper time and place to hand

row partizans, and were quite willing to
work for Dunn and Hearst at the same
time.

He "terrorized'' them SO completely that most
Of them are enthusiastically supporting him for

The Redwood Gazette has come out in
favor of the reelection Of Judge Mills ir
a leading editorial entitled, HAS He Beer
Wronged?" Judging from the genera
tone Of the state press in handling the
commissioners for the last four years, !.
is pretty safe to presume that he has beer
wrong.

who writes the editorials for the Herald will b.
