Robinson was coming into town from
the west with team he met Adolpf
Bauer who was going home on his

nately no one was hurt very bad.

The work of constructing the new
dam at this place was completed
Monday and Granite Falls now has
the finest dam on the Minnesota riv-
err. 1t is 800 feet long and gives
14a feet head. 1t is concrete struc-
ture, reinforced with steel rods and
heavy rock placed in by the derrick
so that it is most solid piece of
work and will no doubt stand for
ages.-Granite Falls Journal.
Sheriff Schueller of Redwood Falls
was in Vesta Tuesday evening serv-
ing some legal documents on one of
our business men. The sheriff re-
fused to talk politics, but said he
thought the commissioners and
county attorney were right in refus-
ing to put the county to heavy ex-
pense to bring Mccormick, alleged
Seaforth bank robber back here
from San Francisco, although the
sheriff would no doubt have enjoyed
making the trip to the coast town.

| Two of our fire department boys,
J. w. Carson and Ole C. Bolstad
prevented j. M. Nicolai's house at
Madison from being destroyed by
fire last Friday night. The house
was struck by lightning and but for
the prompt action of Carson and
Boistad, who were at the county seat
at the time, would probably have
burned to the ground. The best
fire insurance policy a man can have
is to live in a town where there is a
first-class fire company. Dawson
