surprise. The affair had ): been
planned by some of their. friends who
wished to reimburse. them in the loss
'th at they sustained "a short time ago,
when their barn and contents we're de-
stroyed by fire. The party Of sur:
prisers arrived we'll supplied with
eatables and the evening was nicely
spent in enjoying fine lunch, games
and music.
T. 0. Gilbert, on behalf of the as
sembled company, presented the fami-
ly with purse of money amounting
to forty-fve dollars which was the
result of a subscription list that had
been circulated in the city by M. r.
Simons.

HoMEWooD PARK CUT OFF
Residents Of sperry's Addition Have
Been Cut Of From the City for
aPeriod of Thirty DAYS.

Residents in Sperry's addition are
angry. They have reason to be- Since
Oct' 30th they have had no way OF
coming to town except by going miles
around or by crossing the tracks over
the double yard. The bridge over
the tracks was cut open on. that date
to make an extension to accommodate
the new tracks. No previous notice
was given the residents on the other
side, and all supplies such as coal and
hay since that time have been hauled
by way the railroad crossing at Gil
bertson's through fields and over
sloughs. Meanwhile the work on the
bridge has dil]y-dallied, some days a
small crew having been at work and
other days nothing being done at all
to rush the work to a finish. After
patiently waiting for two weeks or
more the city council was appealed to
and yesterday the county attorney was
asked to begin a criminal proceeding
against the officials for obstructing the
highway. County Attorney Bitterness
Investigated the matter and the officials
explained that the delay has been
caused by the non arrival of materials
for use in the construction of the bridge.
He was also assured that temporary
Accommodations for foot passengers
have been provided and that supplies
by rail will be permitted to be unload
ed on that. side. This explanation
gives little comfort to the aggrieved
parties who feel that their rights are
being violated through carelessness
on the part of the company and indif-
ference On the part of the authorities
some of whom are under obligation to
to railroad officials for favors extern
ded during the elections.

The village of Maynard enjoys the
distinction of being the only precinct

governor. The result of the vote there

Wants the Postoffce.

Alton Crosby, editor and publisher
of the Willmar Republican Gazette, is
a candidate for appointment as post
master at Willmar. Postmaster Birch's
second term expires next March and
Editor Crosby is trying to get the en-
dorsements from on high that will land
him the appointment that will enable
him to displace Mr.. Birch. Editor
Crosby made visit to Congressman
Volstead's town last week in the inter-
ests of his candidacy. He has also
made pilgrimages to the state capital
on the same errand. His carefully
guarded secret leaked out to the pub
lie last Saturday.
His candidacy of course has the
sanction and, hearty support of the
Tallman-Thorpe interests in this city.
Their power in city affairs has been
in the ascendancy since last spring,
and this latest move is no doubt for
the purpose of rewarding Crosby for
having jeopardi2ed the standing OF his
newspaper in the county By his sup
port of the new regimein the city. Tall
man now repays the wire-pulling done
by Crosby for him in the last spring
election and in subsequent elections.
Postm aster Birch has not been idle
in the meantime, and has secured the
written endorsements of nearly all the
business houses and professional men
of the city. It remains to be seen if
the apparent popular wish of the peo-
pie of the city can be over-ridden by
the dictates of few party bosses If
there is to be change the patrons of
the Office feel that their wishes should
be consulted, and Editor Crosby may
possibly find that it would have been
wiser to submit his case for popular
approval than to attempt coup with
the secret endorsement of few of the
upper crust.

m. a quiet wedding occurred at the
Tripolis Swedish Lutheran parsonage,
