AROUND THE COUNTY.
Items of Interest Taken from the
Country Papers.

Milroy unanimously voted a $500
bond issue last week, to complete
their new school house.
Granite Falls Journal: Ben Mel
son says he did not try to knock the
entire bri dye into the river with his
auto; only few ratings on the side.
However, he had close call for
bad accident.
Milroy Echo: John Cain says it
pays to raise sheep, and to prove
this assertion says that last week he
sheared some of his flock, and one
eve sheared nineteen pounds, which
at % cents brought him little over
S4. His entire bunch averaged
twelve pounds.
Sanborn Sentinel: At high noon,
in the presence os a small company
of relatives occurred the marriage
of Miss Marguerite Posi- to Mr.. Ray
r. Williamson of Mason City Ia, at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. J. H. Posi-. Yesterday. Rev.
N. L. Hotchkiss pronounced the
words that made them man and
wife.
Secretary ]. A. Schmahl has &C
copied an invitation to speak at the
Springfield celebration of the 4th,
on the Saturday before that date.
Springfield will have another strong
attraction in match ball game with
the Sleepy Eye club for 5000 purse
and the gun clubs of the two towns
will also have a match, Sleepy Eye
being expected to send large dele
cation to her sister town.
Madison Press: The officers of
the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad
went over the line the first of the
week by special train. 1t is said,
and there is probably some truth in
the story, that this road is to be
made coast line in the near future
by connection with the 500, That
would be good thing for the towns
along the road as all lumber would
come in direct and the cost of trans
portation from transfer points would
be saved.
Six young Mormons prayed sang
and talked to a crowd of listless
spectators from the band stand
Thursday night of last week, notes
the Hutchinson Leader. They call
themselves Latter Day Saints with
out explaining in what respect they
are an improvement on early day
saints. AS they ask no assistance,
earn their own money, pay as they
go and preach Christ's goodness they
do no harm. Proselyters of their ilk
have many times invaded Mcleod
county but, as we believe, have new
err secured a convert.
New Ulm Review: Acting upon
the recommendation of Mayor Law
Ter, the St. Paul city council has vot-
ed to use New Ulm granite in the
matchmaking of all its streets. This
week the Minnesota Flint Rock COM
pany received an order for 5000
yards, and this is looked upon as
just the beginning of an extensive
business with the cities of St. Paul
and Minneapolis. The aldermanic
bodies of both cities are favorably
inclined to the New Ulm stone and
appropriations have been made for
streets aggregating over a million
dollars.
The New Ulm Review states that
Lewis, the leading spirit in the hold
up reported last week says he is a
printer by trade, but a New Ulm
party knows that he has been pro-
fessional thief for eight or nine
years. 1t is thought that his home
is near Marshall. Since his arrest a
baggage check was found among his
belonging and the grip which it called
for was secured from Mankato.
This grip contained something like
twenty watches, seventy rings, sew
eral razors and a large number of
lockets, chains. watch fobs and peck
ct knives. 1t is believed that this
find represents only one Of many of
which Lewis may be guilty, and un-
til the authorities have looked into
his record fully there will be no
hearing. The Northwestern officials
are more interested than anyone else
