The Ivanhoe Times says: Alice,
daughter of Ernest Osbeck, caught

nickel which bore the date of 1896,
was of Uncle Sans coinage. There

The people in the neighborhood Of
the John Sinclair place celebrated in

1t pays to be decent, in the long
run. The Lamberton Star tells of
one Harry Streater, who deserted
his family at Lamberton last Deem
Der and was expelled from the Odd
Fellows lodge for his meanness. A
letter was received from a Califor-
mia lodge recently, stating that
Streator was i'll and wanted assist
ance on the ground of his lodge
fellowship. The Star properly says
that a person who will deliberately
desert a wife and child and sneak
off in order to avoid his creditors,
is deserving of mighty little SYM
pathy. He must be pretty ill or
have lots of nerve to apply for aid
in this manner.
Willmar Tribune: Sheriff Peter
Bond and deputies raided the stands
of a Lake Lillian picnic on the
Fourth of July, arrested John Sig
nal on the charge of keeping an un-
licensed drinking place and brought
in seven half barrels of the fiery
liquid, a beer pump and an outfit of
beer glasses. Signal pleaded guilty
before Judge Miller Friday and was
fined $50 and costs amounting in all
to S66. The sheriff is awaiting an
order from the court to pour the
beer into the sewer and sell the kegs
and appurtenances to the highest
bidder. The raid was spectacular
affair, and it is safe to say that new
er before has there been as much
excitement at Lake Lillian as there
was for little while last Thursday
afternoon at about four O clock. The
annual Fourth Of July picnics held
for the benefit of the drinking pop
ulation in the country tributary to
Lake Lillian have been notorious for
years.
Somewhere in big, black letters it
is written that the course of true
love never runs smooth but is full
of kinks like a pigs. tail, observes a
Willmar paper. At least two young
people of Jackson will testify to the
truth of the old saying. They came
to Willmar on the morning passen-
ger Saturday, and just as they were
about to call in the minister to tie
the matrimonial knot the villain, in
the shape of the sheriff of jackson
county, butted in and broke up the
party. The officer of the law had
been sent here by the mother of the
young lady to stop the marriage,
and he succeeded in knocking some
minister out of a fee. The three,
the sheriff and the twoglovers, went
back to Jackson Saturday evening.
The young man was Fl and the lady
of his choice blushingly owned up to
II years. We have not learned
whether or not the parental strap
was applied when the pair was
turned over by the sheriff.
