| A petition containing the names
of over sixty voters and freeholders,
asking that the village of Bird
Island issue its bonds for $4,000, the
same to be used to build a new
village hall, was considered by the
council at a meeting held on June 4,
1906.
Gentlemen connected with the Red
Wing Sewer Pipe and Tile Works
visited New Ulm recently in search
of a clay bed suitable for sewer pipe
construction, and, according to the
News, found an excellent quality
and large quantities along the Cot
tonwood river, about six miles from
New Ulm. The company now has
an option on the land and may be-
gin extensive operations.

Elysian Enterprise: Game Ward
en- Towne was here again Monday,
fishing at Lake Francis. He took
back to Mankato a short string of
bass, a long yarn, and a dog fish,
Eye witnesses say that Towne and
his companion struggled a couple of
hours to land the dog" They
imagined it made noise like a 30
pound pickerel perhaps a mate to
the monster caught a few days be-
fore by the Oelwine party, that
weighed eight pounds. When the
8-pounder was seen by the game
warden he officially declared it's
weight to be 80 pounds-it looked
large in comparison to the dog fish
he was carrying.
Falrmont Independent: While
working with the big ditcher on
county ditch No. 2 in Rolling Green
township Friday morning the large
chain holding the dipper broke,
dropping the latter. The dipper fell
on three workmen, two Brinkman
boys and the engineer, Mr.. Eager,
almost killing them. One of the
Brinkman boys had his leg broken,
the other had severe scalp wound,
and the engineer received a fracture
of the leg and also dangerous scalp
wound. Owing to the fact that the
mud in the slough was soft the
dipper, which is very heavy, crushed
the victims into the ground. Had
the earth been solid at that place
the men would undoubtedly have
been killed.

A very pretty wedding occurred on
Wednesday evening, Nov. Z, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ludlam near
Peshastin, where few relatives and
friends had gathered to witness the
uniting in marriage of John A. Love
and Dora NJ. Abbott, by r. L. Ludlam.
The young couple marched in to the
music of Mendelssohn's wedding march,
played by Mrs. Logue. After the cere-
mony and congratulations Mrs. Logne
sang the very pleasing solo, when
my golden hair has turned to gray"
Mr.. Love is one of Peshastin's most
enterprising young men. The bride is
the neice of Mr.. Mitchell of Eagle
creek, and is recently from Mt. Auborn,
Idaho.
We all unite in wishing the new
couple long, happy and prosperous

RAN DOWN BY AN ENGINE
}. II. Nickel Has Foot Cut OF. but
Otherwise Uninjured

Mr.. Nickel was on his way to town
last Saturday morning for the purpose
OF opening his store and, as was his Gus
tom, walked on the railroad embank-
ment because the walking was better.
When near the east end Of the icehouse
il was his purpose to cross the track.
Just at the time a train of ears was
moving east on the siding, which he
was watching and trying 10 keep out of
the way Of When this pessed he
crossed over ON the main line, but did
not see. and the noise OF the other train
perhaps prevented him from hearing,
the approach of an engine on its way
from the coal sheds to the roundhouse.
He just lacked one foot of clearing the
rail and the wheels passed over his leg
at the ankle
He was taken to DR.. HoXsey's office,
but the doctor had been called TO Cas-

been suifoeated, and Doctors Elmer and
Shore were called and amputated the
foot above the ankle joint.

AIIhe Opera House

In the past week three companies
have appeared at the Opera House.
one good performance, one passably
good and the other poor.
The Millionaire Tramp was produced
by a very good company and was
altogether as good an entertainment
as one would expect to see in a town OF
this size.
The Uncle Josh Spruceby company
which was so lavishly advertised with
colored posters, was one of the poorest
shows that ever appeared at the Opera
House. We stayed the play half thru
and retired in disgust. The leading
lady appeared in the first scene dressed
as a simple country girl IN a kitchen
scene where her mother was mixing
dough In the second scene she next
appeared in a hotel parlor, married,
and just returned from a swell ball,
still wearing her rustic Qt would not be
very far off to say, rusty New Hamp-
shire gown, the pan of dough still
sitting on the rickety table. The
manager probably intended that the
pan of nncooked bread would make up
for what the actors lacked in ability
and wardrobe. However. this may be
the pan of partly made bread, with
whisker-mould from a year and a hall
exposure, was on the stage when we
retired, and for all we know was still
in evidence as star attraction when
the drop rang down on the last act
when the william was taken red handed
and banished to Africa, there to live
and suffer for his wrong doing. The
memory of the pan of partly mixed
bread was enough in itself to cause
death from remorse.
Last Tuesday night the attraction
was Pete Peterson. Swede character
play. An unusually large house
greeted this company. The players
were fairly good, while Pete, the star,
acquitted himself to the satisfaction o.
those who admire this kind of show.
The company was also provided with
suitable wardrobes, appropriate to the
occasion, and played up to the average

Fred Marcellus was the victim of an
accident last Sunday night which came
very near costing him his life. He
started 10 Brushea's logging camp on a
wagon and when about five miles from
town on the Chumstick road he fell off
the wagon. one of the wheels passing
over his head So badly was his face
mashed and lacerated that DIR. Hoxsey
found it necessary to remove all the
bones from his nose. The man will
probably recover, but the friends that
knew him once will not recognize him
so badly will he be distigured His
fall from the wagon was caused by be-
ing under the influence of liquor. Not
quite year ago young man by the
name of Cook was injured in almost the
same way and only a short distance
from where Marcelus was injured.
Cook had also come down from a
logging camp and after drinking very
hard for several days started back to
camp on a wagon, fell off, and the
wheels passed over his face. He got
well after time, but never looked like
the same man.
That two men, engaged in the same
occupation, should be hurt at almost
the same spot, in the same way, the
cause of both accidents traceeble to the
same source, is a coincident worth call
ing attention to-

Little Sapineau had the reputation in
the village of being half baked, and the
villagers used to amuse themselves
sometimes by giving him the choice of
two pieces of money, one-sou piece
and a two-sou peice, when the child in
yariably chose the former. One day a
tourist who was passing through the
village and saw this performance asked
him why he chose the less valuable
coin, and the supposed half-baked one
replied: "If | chose the two-sou piece

Down in Mexico they have law
that serves as protection to those who
attend shows. A show must make
good the the representations 1t makes
in picture and print, else the manage
ment is liable to arrest and imprison-
ment. The law is founded on common
sense and justice. Here if man sells
you horse representing he has two
perfect eyes and you find out the horse
can not see barn door you can have
the party arrested for practicing a
fraud, but if you are induced to attend
show because certain representations
have been made. and every one of
them is violated your only remedy
is to "cuss" the show. They do things
differently in Mexico. Some years ago
circus went to Mexico and in colored
posters, such as are familiar TO the
American public, advertised among
other things elephants standing in all
kinds OF impossible positions, along
with other impossible but misleading
attractions The first place was also
the last place that the circus made a
stand. The outfit was arrested, part OF
them were imprisoned, and after con-
siderable time their members found
their way across the border with less
money but larger stock of wisdom
than when they went there.
