Fred Wrights four horse team was
frightened by little dog yesterday and
began to run down Rolette street near
Mayor Miller's residence. The pole
team fell and the other horses we're
stopped and when Mr.. Wright looked
over the situation he found both of the
pole horses turned around and both
lying snugly and completely under the
water tank to which they had been
hitched. Some broken harness and a
shattered pole was all the damage.
Hon. T. E. Casey of Grafton, Demo-
cratic nominee for the house ofrepresen-
tatives, spoke on political questions at
City Hall on Thursday night last. Part
ly because of poor advertising there we're
not many present, though Mr.. Casey has
many personal friends here outside of
politics. Mr.. Casey is very good cam
paign speaker but his political argu-
ments sounded more like coming from
the 'insurgent Republican standpoint
than from the Democratic.
Auditor Felson has new ADVERTISE
ment in this issue that is Of consedera-
BILE interest to the general public and to
some of the candidates for Office. Some
other people who have not as yet taken
much interest may be surprised to learn
that an election will be held in this
county on November 9Th. Read the ad-
vertisement, but if this advertisement
don't interest the ladies very much they
can find what they want by looking over
what Mr. Heneman has to say.
AS will be noticed in our advertising
columns Charles Full, our pioneer mer-
chant, has made up his mind to close
out his business here and retire. Mr..
Full has been in business here for thir-
ty years and is we'll known all over this
county as we'll as in Kittson county
across the river. Beginning with very
small stock of goods he has gradually in
creased his business until now he has
one of the largest and best stocks of
general merchandise IN the county. The
closing out sale will undoubtedly attract
many purchasers from all parts of the
county.
