A Chaska teacher named Xavier
Luten has returned to his home in
Glencoe pending the nursing of an
eye. There was no mutiny in the
school, but Luten was playing foot
oall with some Of his pupils, and
while doing SO got kicked between
his eyes, putting him temporarily
out OF commission as a teacher.
Lulten insists that the boys didn
mean to, but there are some fellows
mean enough to insist that the
pupils were after the birch wielder.
Will Palmlund of Renville county
was out hunting ducks with a %
callbre rifle. He was in boat on
the waters Of slough with some
other boys, and in pulling the rifle
toward him the hammer was
knocked against the side of the boat
so hard that it exploded the cart
ridge, the bullet striking young
Palmlund in the throat, passing
through the back of the neck. The
boy was taken to Olivia and the
wound dressed. Had the bullet
been of larger calibre the victim
would have been killed.
| The New Ulm Journal says that
lGen. Kuropatkin KIause, chief of
police of New Ulm, who was injured
while riding a bicycle and running
against guy wire of the Minnesota
Central company, will sue the com
pany for personal injuries. The
chief states that it is impossible to
estimate the injuries he has re-
ceived, so far as dollars and cents
are concerned, but insists that they
are extensive enough to cause him
to institute suit against the com
pany and let jury determine how
badly he was hurt.
| A pot hunter down in LeSueur
has novel way of bagging ducks.
He throws pumpkins in the slough
where the wild fowl are in the habit
of feeding. After a time they be-
come accustomed to the big yellow
vegetables and then is when the
fellow gets in his work. He hollows
out large pumpkin, cutting a hole
Ia it to look out of, and after dress
ing in waterproof, sticks the pump
! kin on his head and wades out in
the water. It is comparatively
easy for him to wade up to a flock
of ducks and pull under the water
as many as he can carry. We I'M
derstand that game warden cap
tured the fellow and he will have
to answer for this illegal way of
| getting game.
/ The Morgan commercial club is
kicking because the Redwood coun-
| ty rural telephone company is not
rushing the rural lines out of that
town, according to the Messenger,
which says that committee has
been appointed to place the matter
before the directory and if immedi-
ate action could not be secured to
tender an ultimatum to the direc
tors. Just what the 'ultimatum"
referred to by Editor Eaton is to be
is not given out, but generally it is
regarded as the last step taken be-
fore war is declared between two
belligerents. The committee on
| four proposed rural lines out of that
town have all reported the sub
| scription to sufficient stock to war
rant the company to proceed with
the work of construction.
