/ A horse that had been stolen from
La New Richland livery stable was
found loose in the vicinity Of New
4 Ulrl last week. The thief, whose
name is supposed to be Ed. Blee-
dorm, has not been captured.
Chas. Brophy, son Of Thomas
Brophy Of Springfield, was killed in
some unknown manner while tank
ing" for a steam engine engaged in
hauling a breaking pillow. Not re
turning with the tank of water as
soon as expected, his father went in
search of him and was Mortified to
find his lifeless body lying in the
road with blood still oozing from his
ears and nose. The body was re-
turned to Springfield for burial.
/ Business was getting slack among
the interests that look for support
among the clam diggers Of Red
Wing and the floating population
attracted there by him, SO last week
the last clam digger there found a
pearl of great price. The pearl was
so big that the clam which carried
/ it had a big bulge over his vest
pocket, and the price of such huge
dimensions as to make one of
John D. S oil gushers look like hole
in coffee pot. Of course it helped
business and that's why the stringer
had the clam digger find the pearl.
Score two for the noble collie. A
Hanley Falls farmer had narrow
escape from being killed or horribly
mangled few days ago, all owing to
the fearlessness of acollie dog. He
entered his hog pen to feed the
pigs, when a vicious boar made
rush at him. A two-by-four applied
over the nose hard enough to break
the scantling stopped the boar for
few seconds, but the animal again
made a rush and hurled him to the
ground. It was then that the collie
dog, hearing the noise, jumped the
fence, seized the hog by the ear and
thus allowed his master time to get
over the fence. A collie dog also
saved another family near Hanley
Falls about year ago, by alarming
the family when coal stove was
casing.
The Case hardware store at Mar
shall came near being burned out
one evening last week. Just prior
to closing up a patent match was
tested, which burns for a time and
then explodes. A piece of the burn
ing match evidently blew into a
hammock hanging in front Of the
store, which burned along like so
much punk and was not noticed.
Later in the evening smoke was
noticed in the store and an investi-
ton showed the cause of the trouble.
The discovery was fortunate one,
as an enormous stock of fire works
was being unpacked and scattered
around the store, so that fire there
meant very lively time for the
firemen lodging skyrockets and the
like.
i Dawson Sentinel: A three or four
days-old baby was found by the
Sloan children in the grove on the
/ P. K. Winter farm in Freeland last
Friday. The baby was alive, and it
was by the merest accident that the
children noticed it, for it was found
in a spot seldom visited by any one
and under some heavy brush. As
the baby was alive and we'll it is
presumed it had laid there but a
| few hours at most. The authorities
were called out there and are now
on the track of a Syrian peddler and
a woman Of the same nationality
who have been in the vicinity for
some time. They are now in South
Dakota, it is said, and will be placed
under arrest as soon as possible. 1t
was evidently their idea that the
baby would die and be eaten up by
beasts or birds. 1t was a cold
blooded business and the guilty
parties should be given the limit.
