BIG TRACT OF LAND
w. ]. Morehart Closes a Deal
For 1000 Fine Acres.
E. D. Scott, of This City, Is the
Purchaser of Tract.
From Saturdays Daily.

From saturdays Daily
Nine hundred and sixty acres of Col
orado land changed hands between two
Mankato gentlemen this afternoon. The
transaction involved Sll 900 and is one
of the largest reported for several
months.
f. d. Scott, a specially salesman
for the Standard Oil company, and a
resident of this city, purchased from
wv. j. Merchant the large tract men
toned above, having returned Wednes-
day after spending week in the
Sunshine state" viewing the land.
The large tract is located in Lin
coin county, north of the town OF
Bovina, and about 10 miles east of
Denver 1t is in the great section
called here the "dry farming" district
Forty miles westward from Mr.. Scott's
new property begins the wet farm
ing" comtry-so called because it is
irrigated. 1t is a splendid stretch of
prairie and the value is sure to rise
rapidly.
81 spent a week in Colorado" said
Mr.. Scott to The Free Press this af-
ternoon, "and saw most of the land
I bought. It's great country. I'm
til Roosevelt took the presidential
chair it was all fence in and used
for grazing, but the present admin
istration wouldn't let the first corners
there hold five or six townships, so
the fences came down short time
ago. Now you should see the way
the people are fiocking in there. There
is every inducement to 90 there. The
climate is beautiful-the days | spent
there were just like summer days.
They can grow anything-fru includ-
ed | have brought with me some
fine samples of flaw, corn, wheat and
other grains and you never saw any
thing as fine.
"The prices of land in that section
are bound to advance very rapidly.
I know it,, because | have been there
and seen the conditions" said Mr.. Scott
in conclusion. anybody who has a
little money can find no better place
than Colorado, in which to make a
perfectly sure Il and safe investment.
He can't make a mistake by going to
Colorado" Iyf

Benson. Jan. 2l.-Dr. j. S. Eaton,
a Civil war veteran and one of the
oldest and most respected residents of
Benson, is dead after an illness of
many years.
He was born at Rochester, VT, in
1912, and came with his parents to
Minnesota in 1855, locating near
Rochester, from which place, at the
age of nineteen, he enlisted in Com
panv X of the famous First Mime
sofa. He received severe wound at
Bull Run, where he was taken pris-
oner by the rebels and confined for
four months in Libby prison. Then he
was taken to Andersonville and en-
dured its horrors fourteen months,
when he was exchanged and came
home to Minnesota to recuperate.
He had. in the meantime, been re-
ported dead and had been mourned
as such by his family. Imagine then
the glad surprise when he walked in
unannounced, the ghost of his former
self.
After recovering, he saw still fur

sustained the greatest loss at Gettys-
burg meted any one regiment. He
was wounded again and lay for hours
upon the sodden battlefield in the
rain. This wound was really his
death blow, for it caused him trouble
constantly, finally resulting in locomo-
tor ataxia, which sapped his vitality.
He served as captain of Company Ii
in the Eleventh Minnesota until
mustered out.
After the close of the war he
studied medicine and operated at
Mankato. He moved to Lac qui Parle,
and from there to Benson in 1879 He
leaves wife, three sons and three
daughters Mrs. Y. b. Clarke of this
place and Mrs. Paddock of Mankato

General Dem and

of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
