REED DECLINED THE DEFER.
Report That Milwaukee Wanted to
Buy Captains Road.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Albert Lea Tribune has informa-
ton from high official of the South
road that long before the Alphabet
people began grading their road they
We're offered a good price to turn it
over to the Milwaukee, but the offer
was rejected as it did not appeal to
them. The Milwaukee has a surplus of
many millions but at the last writing
it was not making any very liberal
propositions to anybody. This same off
cial declared the work at Good Thunder
is far from bluff and unless the
alphabet" is secured the line out of
Good Thunder will be built to this city,
the probability being that the line would
strike the present road of the company
at point just west of the union yard
about where the NORM brick and tile
plant is located This line would run
to the northwest and if built as project
ed would parallel the new road being
graded for some miles, but of course
that would not be fatal to the move.
One result would be the shortening OF
the distance to Mankato from this place
and that would be worth something.
With this link built the Milwaukee
could scarcely get along without a yard
and round house here, as Albert Lea
would be a much more important point
to that road than ever. The prospect
that the alphabet" can be bought at
a reasonable figure is not good as the
projectors desire to have it built far be-
yoDd Mankato. Anyway Albert Lea
can afford to watch with interest this
contest that means much to the people
of both city and county and the pros
pect still seems good that Freeborn will
have two railroads about as soon as she
has one. Thus do blessings and affections
never come to person or community
singly.

KICKED ON PAYING DOLLAR
Bunch OF Syrians Who Thought Citiz-
enship Is Without Price.

From MONDAY Dally.
Six Syrians, imbued with the common
dable desire of becoming American citi-
zens, spent nearly two hours in the
Ramsey court house Saturday in trying
to discover how to work the transforma-
ton, and finally backed out on learning
that they would have to pay 81 for the
privilege
Their first appearance was in Judge
Hallam's court, where the special term
calendar was being called. They were
sent to Judge Lewis court, but when it
was found that they wanted only their
first papers they were sent to the clerks
office just as the clerk was about to
prepare the papers the question of the
cost was timidly preached by one of the
applicants When they learned that the
papers would cost 81 each there was a
shaking of heads and mutterings which
conveyed the impression of dissent, and
the alacrity with which they disappear
ed through the door confirmed this inn
preston.

BLACK HAND METHODS.
Resident Of Freeborn County Warned
It's All Off With Him.


John p. Larson, who lives near Cor
louisville, came to see Sheriff Subby at
Albert Lea and wanted warrant for
the arrest of one Torgeson whom he
suspected of contemplating violence to
the person of the aforesaid Larson. The
cause of Mr.. Larson's alarm was sign
nearly foot square that he found nail
ed to his fence near his residence that
had painted upon it in large black let
tiers the following declarations:
You will soon. be in your grave. Get
ready"
This reminded Mr. Larson very strong
" of the "black hand' and he began to
cudgel his brain as to who might be
guilty of the apparently contemplated
crime Finally he thought of one Tor
gerson with whom he had previously had
some difficulty and decided he must be
the one responsible for the gruesome dec
laration on his fence. In the interests
of his personal safety Mr.. Larson sought
4 warrant for the arrest of his supposed
prosecutor but in the absence of County
Attorney Skinner and both justices moth
ing could be done at once but the mat
ter will be taken up later and sifted.

Mr.. Thro will take the matter into the
courts, as he feels that an attempt is
being made by certain parties to drive
him out of business.

to restrain the Blue Earth County

diet that the defendant was not liable
for the separator, engine and feeder
which he bought of the plaintiff, and
which he claimed did not work satisfac-
torily. Upon This, aud the stipulations
entered into before the trial. the court
credited the sum of Sl,9ll.SS on the note
for $2,lS5 held by the company against
Mr.. Drake for the purchase price. The
count also entered Judgment against

the balance due on the note, interest

recover $4,000, the balance due on a
ditch which the plaintiff constructed in
Freeborn county. The county paid ST.
500 OH the ditch, and then raised the
point that the contract was illegally

county officials were in favor of paying
the bill, anyway, as the work had been
done satisfactorily. Judge Alnidon felt
that there was much doubt in the ease
