Items Of Interest Taken from Che
Country Papers.

Walnut Grove Tribune: Mrs. H.
C. Baker of Redwood Falls visited
at the A. R. Werring home from
Friday until Sunday. Mrs. Baker is
an aunt of Mr.. Werring.
Milroy Echo: Mr.. and Mrs. M.
w. johnson entertained the form
ers's parents and sister, Miss Lou
ella, the latter part of the last and
the first of this week. We under
stand that Mr.. johnson will move
from his present home at Grygla,
Mimi, to bis farm east Of Lucan and
farm the coming year.
No, j. R. Wolff was not in free
for all fight. The big awning pole
broke loose and in swinging around,
caught Mr.. Wolff squarely across
the nose and under the left eye,
making a bad looking bruise. -.
The duck record of the seson was es-
tablished here last Saturday and
Sunday when Jack Sturgeon, Jerry
Lanoue, Bert Curtis and two of
Bert's Willmar friends brought in
148 ducks, most of which were shot
the latter day Marshall Reporter.
Sanborn Sentinel: While M. Foy's
crew was threshing at H. Stems
place Monday spark from the en-
gine set fire to a stack of grain but
by prompt action on the part of the
crew and Mr.. Stern's family, his en-
tire crop which was stacked near the
barn together with his buildings
were saved. AS it was a stack and
one-half Of oats was destroyed by
the fire. With the strong wind that
was blowing on that day, it is really
wonder how they saved the re-
naming stacks and buildings.
Madison Press: The traffic on the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad
along passenger lines OH the ST. Paul
Aberdeen run is seemingly limited
only to the ability of the road to
handle the business. Any night one
goes down to take the train here, he
or she is in great luck who succeeds
in getting seat in the chair car,
while as to getting berth in the
sleeper, not even peep at an up
per" is obtainable. However, every
body is glad to see the company do a
big business.
Milroy Echo Items: There is some
trouble with our neighbors in Gales
over the draining of Porter lake. It
seems that the majority of them
don't want it tapped, while Mr..
Hicks, who owns the land surround
ing it, wants, it drained. -. A. C.
Chittenden, of Marshall, came down
Monday afternoon and took charge
of the general stock of merchandise
beonging to E. F. Buchan and at
once began the work of getting it in
shape for the salvage sale he is ad-
vertising. -. Rev. FIR. Woods, of
Redwood Falls, was in our city over
Tuesday, on business.
Olivia Review: Mr.. Chapman, the
professor of the canning factory, in
forms us that this seasons pack of
sweet corn amounted to 5000 cases,
the equivalent of eight carloads.
With the exception of about $500
cases, all this seasons pack has been
sold at very good prices. At this
writing corn is quoted from 65c to
672c per dozen 1.-TWO dozen to the
case). Of rhubarb, the output was
carload. All things considered,
this has been very profitable sea-
son, inasmuch as the prices for all
canned vegetables are very high.
There was an old-fashioned prai-
RE fire near Madison last week,
and the Press says that the track of
fire must have been five miles wide
IN some places. The flames are said
to have been like great wave of
the sea at times and threatened to
engulf everything. 1t is impossible
to estimate the loss which was prin-
cipally on account of the thousands
of tons of hay DESTROYED. During
the afternoon, cinders borne on the
winds from the scene Of the disaster,
fell in shower on the streets of
Madison. Very fortunately no. lives
were lost.
