Hulsman & Son, left for Illinois
where he will interest a number
of people in that state in South

A. K. Crawford spent a couple
of days the fore part of the week
at Big Stone, enjoying genuine
anglers luck, and incidentally
taking rest.
A bad hail storm damaged the
crops around Summit, Bristol,

evening and Thursday morning.
The losses are estimated at from
ten to fifty per cent, and in some
tances as high as seventy five
per cent.
Movious Bros, at Lidgerwood,
according to the Broadax, recent

came to Milbank the first of the
week and is the guest of his sis

attack of the quinsy and will
take medical treatment from
local physicians.
The Evangelical Insurance
company is having it's hands full
of late, Mr.. Roth reporting all
the adjustors being away work
ing on losses. Those who took
out insurance in this company in
the spring and who have suffered
any losses speak very highly of
the treatment of the Company.
Inconversation witha travelling
man the first of the week, he said:
81 don't believe that | have ever
been in city the size of Milbank
where there are SO many cement
sidewalks as you have, and still
many more going in. It is a
great Improvement for any city.
and the people of your city are to
be congratulated on the interest
they have taken in the matter.

and Mr.. Roth went to Albee the
day following the fire and adjust

J. w. Cox of Sioux City, Iowa,
was in the city last week on busl
ness. While here he thought it
a good time to enjoy a little fish
ing at Big Stone Lake. In CON-
pany with County Auditor
Pinckney he went to the lake on
Friday. After fishing near the
park the sportsmen hied them
selves to the island where they
stayed until quite late, returning
with about fifty fish. Mr.. Pinck-
ney says that of course Mr.. Cox
caught few of the bunch, they
were the catfish, but that he,
Pinckney, caught the most and
best of them. When last seen,
according to Ortonville advices,
they were going to the depot,
Mr.. Cox struggling under the
load of fish, and the county
auditor doing the groaning. At
any rate they enjoyed themselves
very much.
Tuesday, w. B. Saunders, of
the Merchants bank, sent to the
officials of the Milwaukee rail
road petition asking the com
pany to build a new depot at this
place. The petition was signed
by about 200 representative
property owners of the city. The
letter accompanying the petition
set forth mum Der of very i'm
