Sleepy Eye Herald: Attorney
Wayne Werring Of Morgan was IN
town oyer Sunday visiting his father
Charles Werring. Wayne says
there's some politics up in his neck
OF the woods. Fl. A. Baldwin, the
clever gentlman who is the president
OF the First National Bank at Red
wood Falls. is being talked of as a
candidate for the legislature. Herb
would lend some dignity and honor
to the lower house as a law maker.
Granite Falls Journal: There is
no question but the Milwaukee road
contemplates going west from
Hutchinson, just where to is not alb
solotely known, but from all that
can be gathered from the surveyors
now In the field about Hutchinson
the line will cross the Great North
ern about Litchfeld, and the suppo-
sition is that Winnipeg is the OBJ
Jectlve point. So there will not be
another line between here and Will
mar, if this is so.
Madison Independent: The Man
on the Street was informed the first
of the week that there was a meet
ing at this place last Saturday eve
ming for the purpose of making Sc
lection of a man to make the run
for the legislature on local option
by counties platform. 1t would
seem that such a meeting would be
unnecessary in Lac qui Parle county
as every man who. up to this time,
has thought of running has already
declared himself in favor of such a
law. Any man who should make the
attempt to run on any other plat
form in this county would need to
make an affidavit after the fight
was over to know that he had ''also
ran.
Olivia Times: p. J. Gibbons, a
stock broker, well known to the live
stock dealers here, murdered his
wife and later shot Rev. Father
Walsh, pastor of st. Augustine
church. It appears Gibbons was a
victim of drink and was taking
treatment for alcoholism at the time.
Drink it appears had driven him to
madness and in fit of jealous rage
he committed the crime. The MUIR
dered woman was known here as
Nancy MCGOWAN. She was a sister
OF ]. H. MCGOWAN, of Morton, Geo.
MCGOWAN of Norfolk and Mrs. Jos.
Chisolm of Birch Cooley. She was
one of the most estimable and love-
able young women Of Morton when
she resided there, and in Birch
Cooley where she was best known
she was loved and esteemed byEall.
The outcome of the case against
Gibbons will be Of special interest
to the people of this county.
The trial of the Berkner SANDER
suit at Sleepy Eye was illuminating
in getting expert definitions Of what
constitutes a tin horn sport. I"
Col. Johnson Of the Dakota House
defined him as a fellow who, for in
stance, if he had ten cents would
like to make people believe he had
fifty dollars; wants to make little
better showing of himself than he
has any right to; hasn't got much
and wants to make big showing
with what little he has. Attorney
Eckstein defined him as one who puts
on whole lot of style and nothing
back of it; that is one explanation.
He may dress fashy. and ssattend
horse races and howl with the boys,
and foot ball and base ball and bas-
ket ball and boating, rife shooting
and have a good time and let the
other fellow do the betting and buy
ing and he stands back and pays
nothing; he sports along with them
and slips through, kind a; may be
entitled to respect; there are excep-
tons to all rules; often may have
high standing in a community and
still be a tin horn sport"
