The Morgan Messenger recently
appeared in new dress of expanded
type, and the improvement was very
noticeable. Cliff Eaton is making
the Messenger a striking mirror of
the events of Morgan and vicinity.
I T. O'Conner returned from the
wild woods of the north, Saturday
night, says the Renville Farmer.
AS a trophy Of the chase and an
evidence of his workmanship he
brought home fine buck deer. 1t
was perhaps the largest ever ex-
hibited here. Mr.. O'Connor has our
thanks for a generous sample of the
steak. The buck was on exhibition
at Walters market.
The improbable story was told in
a morning paper last week that a
man out hunting heard something
moving in the brush and presently
large wild cat pounced upon him,
which he caught by the throat and
hugging it to him ran four miles
before he arrived where help was,
and holding it out to a fellow hunter
shot it dead. Had he relinquished
his firm grip on the ferocious animal
it would have driven it's teeth into
his flesh. That may all be true but
it sounds fshy unless you allow your
imagination to work overtime in the
effort to swallow the story as told.
Morgan Messenger: Chas. A. Mel
son, who few years ago was adop-
ted by the J. H Gardner family, who
reside near Wayburn, and who was
arrested last August on the charge
of having burglarized the postoffice
at Dahl, in Becker county, plead
guilty to the charge last week before
the federal court at Fergus Falls and
was sentenced to one year in the re-
formatory. When arrested last
August the young man tried to pro-
cure a $1,000 bond to free him from
the prison cell until the case was
tried at Fergus Falls. This he was
unable to do and was placed in Jail
at Mankato where he remained I'M
til his case was tried before the fed
eral court.
All lighting plants, whether gas,
acetyline or electricity have their
occasional break downs, and the
Fergus Falls Journal of recent date
records the breaking down of the
electric lighting plant in that city.
The breaking Of the main belt caused
the shutdown of the entire plant at
l o'clock on the morning in ques-
ton. 1t appears that there is more
or less leakage in the wheel house at
the light dam, and during the night
the water seemed to come down in a
larger volume than usual, flooding
the wheel pit. The main belt, a
huge affair, SO inches wide and 1877
feet in length, became thoroly
soaked and the Splicing" parted
in several places, one being an al
most complete break. Power could
not be transmitted from the water
wheels to the machinery without it
and the plant shut down. The break
ing of belt of this size is serious
matter, as it will have to be drawn
taut before being riveted together
again, and there are no clamps in
the city capable of drawing and
holding it in necessary position. An
expert was accordingly sent for, and
is expected up from Minneapolis
with the necessary fixtures this af-
ternoon. The work of fixing it will
begin as soon as he arrives, and it is
expected that the lights will be
turned on by s or 9 o'clock this
evening. 1t is impossible to state
the exact time, but the city is likely
to be in darkness during the early
part of the evening.
