Items Of Interest Taken from the
Country Papers.


Granite Falls Tribune: We had
two object lessons the past week
why county option would lessen
crime. Two murders in this vicini-
ty should be sufficient to convince
thinking men that the county would
be better off without the stuff that
makes mortals crazy.

Brown County Journal: The suit
of H. L. Chaffee vs.. Ed. Berkner, of
Sleepy Eye, was argued before Judge
Pau at Mankato, last Friday, on a
motion for new trial, made by the
defendant. The motion was SUBJ
mitted to the court. This is an ac-
ton that was tried before Judge
Pau at New Ulm. and the plaintiff
secured verdict of $500 against the

the celebrated tin horn sport" case.
In case of an adverse decision the

New Ulm Review: Word has
been received here that the Troop
E, of the Fourth u. S. Cavalry, sta
toned at Fort Smelling, will arrive
in this city about the 22d or 23d of
this month, on their annual timer
ant practice march. The officials of
the Fair Association have again Of
fered the soldiers the use of the fair
grounds as free camping place.
The officers and regulars have not
forgotten the hospitality they re-
ceived in New Ulm last year. and
that is probably the reason why they
again include New Ulm in this year. S

Clara City Herald: Two men in
an automobile from Sioux Falls on
their way to Green Lake Sunday
almost had their auto completely
destroyed by fire and as it became
over heated through lack of oil.
The machine was badly damaged
when two miles west of here and

that they came through Maynard t
fifty miles an hour and were the
cause Of two runaways, one of the
occupants, lady being hurt. The
fellows never stopped to inquire the
damage done but kept one. We
hope they will be arrested and prop
erly punished before they get their
machine away.
Morgan Messenger: We have Just
learned of the death, by suicide, of
Slayton Robinson at Preston, Mont,
which occurred about the last week
in August. About twelve or thir-
teen years ago Mr.. Robinson and
family lived in Morgan for year or
so and will be remembered by the
older residents of this community.
He was in very poor health this sum-
mer, unable to do any work, which
fact worried him considerable.
When the dry season set in and crops
burned up he became very melan-
choly and finally his mind became
deranged which led him to the rash
act. He is survived by his wife
Mary Robinson, and four children
Ralph of Ell Paso, Texas; Alta of st.
Paul. and Madge and Ethel at home.
The body was buried at Viola, this
state, and was accompanied on the
sad trip from Montana by the widow
and Mr.. and Mrs. r. G. Robinson.
He gazed out through the prison
bars, while strangers handed him
cigars. and big bouquets and things
like those, and said he: Thus OPP
preston grows! The humble toiler's
in the soup. and no one seems to
care whoop. The heartless tyrant
sits in state, and puts the poor man
in a crate. | held city job for
