Sanborn Sentinel: Weare inform
ed Salisbury who resides north of
town has purchased threshing rig
which was advertised in these col
umns for several weeks by E. Bailey
of Redwood Falls.
Springfield Advance: Leo Nenno
and Miss Grace Turrittin of Redwood
Falls arrived in this city Saturday
afternoon to visit relatives and
friends. They expect to stay in this
city three or four weeks.
The demand for harvest and
thresher help is making labor scarce
for other industries. Railroad and
factory laborers are not content with
SIPS and $3.50 day when they can
earn from So to $3.50 working at
getting in the crops. The healthy
laboring man who is idle is not look
ing for work very hard.
Morgan Messenger: M. F. Christ
ensen of Clements was in town Tnes-
day. Mr.. Christensen has been con-
tracing this simmer for the Wood
beck ditching concern, but says that
he is now out canvassing for the Re-
publican nomination for sheriff and
expects to put in a great deal of hard
work between now and September
18th.
Prison Mirror: The first new
mower to be built by the state was
taken down to the new prison site
and tried last Friday afternoon. 1t
wasstarted in a field of heavy clover
badly lodged and matted with dead
grass and weeds, some of it standing
in two inches of water. The mower
went through it like a hot knife
through snowdrift, leaving clean
track behind it. After an hours
cutting every part was found to be
working as intended, without chat
ing or binding, and was declared a
complete success.
Milroy Echo: Monday the citi-
zens Of this burg were somewhat
startled to learn that Eli Johnson, a
saloon-keeper of this place had at
tempted to take his life by cutting
his throat. He went into the base
ment of the building and with the
aid Of a razor cut a deep cash across
the throat, but by chance he missed
the jugular vein. The wound bled
profusely. and it is thought that on
this account Mr.. johnson lost the
nerve to finish the job. The rash
act was committed during a fit of
dependency, as business has not
been the best for Mr.. johnson for
some time past.
Four highwaymen entered a
butcher shop at Mountain Lake on
the 18th, robbed the place of all the
cash they could lay therehands on and
then tried to make good their escape.
News of the robbery spread quickly
and the village marshall Immediately
started in pursuit of the desperadoes,
overtaking them near the stockyards
on the outskirts of town. A desper-
ate encounter ensued between the
thieves and the officer and in the
fight the marshall was stabbed in the
abdomen. The wound was perhaps
eight inches in length and of such
nature that the bowels were exposed.
1t will go hard with the prisoners.
I'VE have heard so many people
speak of Redwood Falls as being a
beautiful place and mutually we have
a desire to see the town sometime
and if Bryan is elected we will take
day off and visit the place if it
takes all summer, says Putnam in
the Granite Falls Tribune. Now
Bryan's election has nothing to do
with this case. and we shall expect
Put to follow in the footsteps of
Brother Bennett and see good town.
The first chance we get for an auto
ride to Granite we are going up
there and see Granite Falls and its
faithful news paper boosters. Let's
be neighborly.
Mankato Daily Free Press: Just
as years ago yesterday William w.
Paddock rode into Mankato from
New Ulm and warned the people of
the approach Of the red men, who
