Madison Lake Tribune: Charles
Hornberg of Mankato met with a
mishap with his auto on our streets
last Sunday. In making sudden
stop the drive chain jumped the
sprocket and became firmly wedged
in the case, necessitating the re-
moval of the axle and the sending
of it off for repairs. The remainder
of the machine was afterwards skid
ded into barn.
Heilman & Bissell, the shoe men,
say it pays them to lose money.
They explain that they are now
selling their surplus stock of OK
fords and tan shoes at loss SO
that they can buy all new goods for
next season. They believe that
they can get a larger business next
year by doing this, as people like
to be sure that they are getting the
newest goods each season.

sold the west half of section 2.

Marshall Messenger Not in
many years, if at all since the big
food of the spring of 1881, has the
Red wood river risen so rapidly and
so high as it did last Monday, fol-
lowing the heavy rain of Sunday
night and what appeared to be a
cloud burst west of Marshall Mon
day. The river overfowed it's
banks except where they were we're
unusually high, and numerous
bridges we're threatened. Three
Mile Creek, north and west of Mar
shall, was said to be three miles
wide in some places, and several
bridges were reported out. 10
few hours on Monday the Redwood
raised from three to five feet in
town, but it subided almost as rap
idly.
Granite Falls Tribune: The re-
port comes that a mass meeting was
held in Clarkfield a week ago Thurs
day evening to discuss the county
seat removal to that place and $15,-
900 was subscribed on the spot for
the purpose, and men selected to
pass the subscription around while
others we're to employ lawyers to
draw up petitions and papers nee
essary to start the ball rolling at
the earliest date possible. All this
may be premature explosion as it
occurred before the 4th. but has the
semblance of intentions behind it
that gives it the appearance of re-
liability if not great plausibility.
The report does not state why
the county seat should be moved or
that majority of the tax payers
desire change which, in our judg-

have county property ample to ac-
comodate and every convenience
now provided that is not cucumber
ed by debt and to let well enough
alone must be the verdict of every
thinking man who is acquainted
with the situation. Splendid grouds
and ample buildings for every de-
mand is a situation to be proud of
and no doubt those not financially
