with his auto Wednesday morning and
got out as far as the slough just this
side OF Ortley and got stuck, he had to
get F. Wright to pull the machine out.
Mr.. Anderson then made up his mind
to come to Summit with team. When
Anderson starts to go anywhere he
goes.-Summit Signal.
Monday evening from 8 to 10 o'clock
about thirty members of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union were
entertained at a party given at the
home of Mr. and Mrs Edward Potter in
honor of Mrs. G. o. Norris, the presi-
dent of the union. The evening was
very pleasantly and profitably spent
During the evening Ice cream and cake
were served.
Mrs. David Williams gave her first
party in her beautiful new residence in
honor Of her mother, Mrs. @. .. Norris
and it was one of the happiest gather
ings ever had in Webster. The house
was beautifully decorated. And every
thing was there to make things pleasant
about twenty ladies spent the afternoon
assisted in the house warming and had
a most enjoyable time.
Messrs. Rieckmo and Fiksdal were
out behind the respective stores where
they are employed indulging in a little
target practice with 22.rifies Friday
evening when Police Cooper came upon
the scene and arrested for violating the
state law and also took their guns. The
law plainly says you shall not shoot in
the corporate limits and, if you would
avoid trouble you will refrain from it.
The remains of the mother of VIM.
Cass, who died recently in Owatonna,
Mimi, were brought to this city Tues.
day evening and were buried in the
Webster cemetery yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Slocumb held services. AS Mr..
Cass and his family are quarantined at
their home in Morton township we
were unable to learn the particulars but
will try and get them for the next
issue.
The following is section of the state

charges any species of firearms, air gun
or other weapon, or any stone or other
missed in any public place, or in any
place where there is any person to be
endangered thereby, although no injury
to any person shall ensue, is guilty of a
misdemeanor 1t will be well for all
parties owning 22-rifies to read the sec.
ton carefully.
AT the last state meeting of the Gath
Ollie Order of Forresters, which met at
Howard, p. j. Roth, of this city, was
selected as alternate delegate to the
supreme lodge of the Uaited States,
and William Wagner was chosen state
trustee. st. Otto's Court and its many
friends in this city highly appreciate
the honors conferred by the state grand
lodge, and the more so because the two
gentlemen named are so we'll worthy
and highly capable.
Don't ask Col Fred Russell or John
Rabak about their "catch" at Enemy
Swim lake Sunday. Thew have recol-
lections of that day which are painful.
They caught none sufficiently small to
throw away, none sufficiently large to
brag about, and had it not been for the
gifts of their more fortunate friends,
would have had no fish for breakfast on
Monday morning. When the colonel is
recalling his fishing exploits in the time
to come Sunday will be one forgotten.
The wind and the weather loosened
DR.. L. w Cooks large sign so that it
fell from it's position in front of the
offices of the second story of the First
National bank building, and it fell to
the sidewalk, and In its descent it just
missed little Willie Bauske, who was
walking down the street. Had it struck
the little shaver it would certainly have
killed kim. The doctor says he will
put it up so fast now that if he ever
moves he will have to take the front of
bank with him.
The many friends of Hugh Baillle,
who was at one time a bookkeeper in
the Farmers and Merchants bank Of
this city and whose parents reside at
Pierpont, will be pleased to know that
he is advancing rapidly in the lumber
business, which he entered after leav-
ing Webster. He is employed by the
O. A. Smith Lumber company, of Min
neapolis, and has recently been trans
ferred from position in that city to
that Of manager of the company's two
large mills at Coos Bay. Ore.

present we, cannot name the winner.
Mrs. Albert Smith captured the prize
spoon yesterday. Mrs. Williams house
