The Grain Prices at Willmar.

]. G. Freeberg, the we'll known
Svea farmer, marketed some barley
here Wednesday and received 81
cents a bushel. He had been haul
ing his barley to Willmar until he
discovered that Raymond was pay
ing four cents a bushel more.
There are other farmers from that
vicinity who have discovered the
same thing and are bringing their
grain here. Farmers from near
Pennock, Kerkhoven and Clara City
have also fallen in line. A good
market is certainly a good thing
for any town, and here's hoping
that the elevators may keep up the
present gait.-Raymond News.
The above is fair example Of
Misrepresentation indulged in by
some editors in these little villages
in the neighborhood of Willmar in
the hope Of drawing some of the
grain trade to themselves. In this
case the editor laid himself open
because he mentioned a certain day
on which Raymond was supposed
to pay more than Willmar. The
Tribune has made Investigations
and finds that on last Wednesday,
Oct. 8, the day when Mr.. Freeberg
received 81 cents a bushel for bar
ley at Raymond, the same price was
paid at Willmar, Priam, and Pen
mock, all the four markets on that
day being the same. We went tc
different buyers at Willmar and
looked over their records and founc
that the following parties krecievec
81 cents bushet for their barley
at Willmar last Wednesday, Oct 9
viz: G. Han son, Robert Tholnp
son, Fred Amundson, w. Peterson
O. R. Sletten, E. R. Rasmussen, anc
Otto johnson. Mr.. Freeberg hac
marketed some barley at Willma1
some time ago, but owing to thu
large amount OF dirt and foul see(
in the same, he was given two cent
below the market price. He ad
mitted to the buyer that it was th'
poorest barley that he had and ais
stated that what he had left wa
better grain. This is evidentl.
what he marketed at Raymond bu
he received no more there than h
would have received at Willmar i
he had hauled it to this place. Th
impartial Investigator will find tina
Willmar is doing the right thin
by the farmers in the grain market
misrepresentation by the smalle
villages to the contrary notwith
standing.

Injured by Street Car.

On Monday about II o'clock, Mrs.
VIM. Feddema, of 214 Twelfth ave-
nue. north, was struck by the Great
Northern street car, was thrown un-
der the trucks and seriously in
jured. Mrs. Feddema is lady of
63 years Of age. Mr.. Feddema
stated that he and his wife, accom-
panied by Mrs. VIM. Froehler, left
their residence about II o'clock to
go to the Great Northern depot in
order to catch a train for Paynes-
vile, near which place they were
to witness the threshing on their
farm. The party was waiting for
the street car. Just before it came
to standstill Mrs. Feddema ex-
citedly started across the track in
front. The car struck her square
ly, knocking her down. The first
set of trucks of the car passed over
her and in doing 50, it is thought,
the severest injuries were inflicted.
The unfortunate woman was
doubled up when the car was
brought to a stop and no time wa:
lost in extricating her from the
perilous position. At three o'clocl
this afternoon the attending ply
sician stated that Mrs. Feddema'
condition was not as serious as a
first appeared. Miraculous to say
no bones were broken, and the vic
tim is believed to have first-clas
chances for recovery. Her numer
Gus friends will be pleased to lear
of this.-St. Cloud Times.

In Municipal Court.

Our "busy bee' sheriff, Peter
Bonde, brought to justice on Satur-
day in the municipal court Samuel
B. Curtis and William Mckinley.
They were charged with violating
the city ordinance in permitting
their pool room to be used for
gaming and gambling. Thru the
efforts Of the police department it
was learned that number Of par
ties had been in the habit Of bet
ting money on the pool games, the
game of pin pool being the princi-
pal means by which gambling had
been carried on. R. w. Stanford,
city attorney, had charge Of the
prosecution. Both parties plead
guilty to the charge and were fined
$500 each, the fine being paid in
both instances. The case will un-
doubtedly serve as warning both
to the offenders and those having
taken part in the games, as, should
it be necessary to go further into
the matter later on, not only will
the proprietors be brought into
court but also those having partici.
pated in the gambling.
