w. E. Hawley of Lake Benton
was in the city last Saturday bidding
in the Corpron property on Mill
street for the benefit Of the mort
gage. Mr.. Hawley informed us
that the costs of litigation on the
tract in order to straighten the
title-the case going up to the SUI
preme court had cost the lady who
advanced the money over 5000, and
that her equity at present means a
heavy loss. His parting advice to
the writer was, "For PHYS sake,
don't go to law"
Mr.. Wherland has been very sue

electric light and power at Morton

want electric light and power, but
the Redwood Falls Electric Light,
Power and Milling Co. wishes to be
fair with the nearby towns and will
give Morton and North Redwood
the first opportunity.

John Whitcomb, since his ex-

implements, and Mr.. Whitccmb has
informed US that he intends to prop

found it greatly to his advantage in

ARKANSAS GUARD
TO GO TO KANSAS
War Department to Send Regiment to
sKSAt Riley Instead .oi Leon
Springs-EXpenscS Will
BE Less

Adjutant General Pau Little, Of the
Arkansas National Guard, yesterday
received a letter from the War Depart.
ment headquarters at Washington. p.
c., to the effect that the expenses OF
moving a regiment of the Arkansas
guard to Leon Springs, Texas, to en-
gage in maneuvers under the direction
Of the War Department, would be too
costly at the estimate made by Major
Jet and that instead the department
would send a regiment OF Arkansas
State Guard 10 Fort Riley, Kan, to
participate in maneuvers there under
the direction Of the War Department,
says the Little Rock Gazette. In the
letter it is stated that the officers OF
the Arkansas guard shall make out an
expense account, as in the case OF
Leon Springs, Tex, giving an estimate
of the cost Of sending a regiment to
Fort Riley, and forward the same to
the War Department. However, this
statement, in referring to the expense
account states that the department
will bear the expense in its entirely.
This is interpreted to mean that I'M
less the expense account given is ex-
traordinarily large, it will be satisfac.
tory TO the government and that a
regiment Of Arkansas troops is as
sured an encampment at Fort Riley.
The encampment will be held be
tween September 20 and September 80,
During that time several States will
be represented at Fort Riley by one OF
more regiments OF State troops, all Of
which will participate in the nlaneu
vers. The War Department intends
to hold maneuvers for the benefit OF
State troops in several different points
in the West.
The date for the encampnent Al
Fort Riley is satisfactory to Adjutant
General Little and there is now no
doubt that a regiment CT Arkansas
guard will be in the Fort Riley en-
campment What regiment VIII at
tend has net been decided. The est
mate of the cost OF moving a regiment
to Fort Riley, maintaining it there and
moving it back to Arkansas. will Dc
prepared at once by Major Jett.
