JOS Fountain and wife went t
Montevideo the first of last week
and will remain there for a season
Mrs. Maria Clipfell and son, Car
roll, were in the city last Thursday

household there, Miss Mary to at
tend to the duties of her professor
ship in a Nebraska college, while

Marshall Reporter: Will Schel-
kopf of Redwood Falls, the crippled
boy. who has been shining shoes at
the Rasmussen barber shop the past
two months goes to Minneapolis this
week to have an operation per-
formed on one of his arms. He is
one of the many horrible examples
of that ldiotic practice of VAGINA
ton.
The washout on the Minneapolis
& ST. Louis road north of Waseca
was worse than first reports seemed
to indicate. An engine and eighteen
cars were ditched and the water
washed out the track back of the
train, so that assistance could not
reach it. The road was obliged to
send it's trains around by the Omaha
and Northwestern roads from Mer-
riam Junction, via Kasota, Sunday
and Monday. Last night the track
was cleared and the damage re
paired, and it was possible to use
the track again today.
Vesta Censor: Charlie Terhell met
with quite a serious accident Mon
day. He was helping Bert Langham
move his household goods to Red
wood Falls, and when five or six
miles east of Vesta, they broke an
evener on one Of their wagons, and /
in making the repairs, Mr.. Terhell
had occasion to use an axe which I
glanced off the timber, striking the
instep of his left foot, cutting the
cords of the three middle toes. Mr..
Terhell bound the foot in moist .
earth to stop the blood and then
hurried back to the Vesta hospital
for medical attention. The accident I
will probably lay Charlie up from
work for the balance of the fall.

ing for the concrete foundation of
the big Northland Produce Co. ware
house," in which John G.. Lunn and
Albert A. Melges, old Redwood Falls
boys, are the principal shareholders.
The Sentinel further says: "The
ore found in Bemidji is on land
owned by the Northland Produce
and John Lunn, of that
irm, has number of fine samples
At his office. The mine" is located
n the rear of the big building and
consists of a vein half foot deep
thru sand bank six feet or
more below the surface and extend
ng as far as the excavation on both
sides, how much farther of course,
cannot now be known
H. j. Wagon, travelling agent of
he Chicago & Northwestern rail-
'oad, was in Redwood Falls on Mon
lay of last week, and while here at
to make some satisfactory
of the trouble between
he company and the fair managers
or satisfactory train service dur
ng the three days of the fair. The
company refuses extra trains with
'ut guarantee being posted, and
he time of arrival and departure of
present scheduled trains is so very
Dad that people from Evan, Morgan
and Gilfillan can hardly take in the
show in one day. Before Mr.. Wag-
en- left he announced that on Sept.
18th the morning train would be
'un into Redwood Falls at an earl
er hour, and would leave the city
