Jessie Mcwilliams reports seeing a
horse in the river near Faulkner's
last Sunday He says the horse wore
harness and bride. and was making
brave effort to reach the shore. but
the water was so swift the animal
finally drowned. How the horse got
into the stream is a conjecture, as II
is hardly probable that anyone would
attempt to ford the river at this time.

Last Friday at Morgan was given
over to the dedication of the new school
house that has recently been completed

The ten o'clock train brought FIR.
Sandmeyer of New Ulm, FIR. Blank of
Sleepy Eye and many others and soon
the large crowd, which had already
arrived, congregated at the church
building, which by the way is one of
the most splendedly furnished church
buildings found in a small town. At
1870 high mass was celebrated with
sermon.
At two o'clock the actual ceremonies
of the dedication took place at the
school building. After this the Very
Rev. DeanH. B. Sandmeyer of New Ulm
made short address in English. He
pointed out why Catholics establish
religious schools and urged the Catho-
lies to support the school in every way
possible.
The school, he said was credit to
the church and town and he hoped it
would grow to be strong and lead
