The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1927-09-01

Il =
was Wednesday of state fair
week. All preparations have been
made for big time, and the fun
will last all day. All veterans of
the regiment are earnestly re-
quested to attend.
"A bad wreck was reported last
Friday on the Great Northern near
Cutbank, Mont. The coast flyer,
while running at high speed, ran
down a steer. The engine and
coaches all remained on the track
except the last can which was de-
rallied and dragged along on the
ties for some distance, when it ran
into switch and pulled the entire
train off. Several members of the
crew were hurt.
The Sank Centre band is MAX
ing commendable progress under
it's new leader. This was quite
generally remarked at the concert
last Thursday evening when sew
eral new selections were render
ed. The leader apparently under.
stands his business and causes the
band to put good deal of vim in
to its work. The different selec-
tons are more intelligently render
ed than heretofore. The public
appreciates what the band is do
ing and is greatly pleased at it's
progress along musical lines.
w. o. P. HillSdale returned
Monday from an auto trip with
his family to Willmar, Atwater,
Benson and Morris.
V. l.. Burgess returned on Fri
day from his trip into South Da-
kota and northern Minnesota.
Mr.. Richard Bailey, of Kando-
ia, Todd county, met with a singu-
lar and painful accident while in
town on Monday last. In getting
out of his wagon he rested his hand
on the side of the wagon box and
swung himself to the ground, in
doing which two of his fingers
were caught under staple in the
side of the box, breaking the bones
square off. He bandaged the brok-
en- fingers and proceeded home.
This has been a busy week, get
ting ready for the fair.
Thirty-five per cent of the pre-
miums awarded at the Stearna
county fair will be paid. /
Wild geese are reported to he
very numerous in this vicinity at
present. They light in the field in
the evening and early morning in
fiocks sometimes to the number
of a thousand. The boys are go
ing for them.
Building, notwithstanding times
are considered hard and money
scarce, Sank Centre has had more
than an average growth this sea-
son. Most Of the buildings put up
are dwelling houses, and the work |
is still progressing briskly. New
houses are springing up every
week in different parts of town.
When operations for the summer
are completed it is our intention |
to collect the statistics of the sea-
son and lay them before our read
ers. We will consider it a favor |
if parties who have built this year
will hand in accounts of their oper-
atoms.
Cabinet shop Mr.. P. o. Mic
void has opened a cabinet shop in
the building formerly used as a
paint shop near the steam factory,
and is prepared to do all kinds of
jobs in cabinet making, manufac-
ture any article ordered and re-
pairing furniture of all kinds, so
that our people need not suffer SER
ious inconvenience by the failure
of the furniture factor. Mr.. Mic
void is a first class workman and
any person giving him an order
can rely on a good job. .
A good many scoundrels are now
on their travels in different parts
of the country, collecting funds
for people who lost their crops by
grasshoppers in Kansas and other
States. All pretend to have auth
GRITTY for their begging operations,
but nearly all are impostors. Many
of them are making a good thing
of it-for themselves.
A letter to the Herald from a
we'll known gentleman confirms
Gen. Clusters statement as to
abundance of gold in the Black
Hills, also as to the general rich
ness of the country. He concludes
his letter by stating that it would
be madness for parties to attempt
to go to the new Ell Dorado this
fall or winter, on account of hos
tile Indians.
A teachers institute is to be
held at Long Prairie, commencing
October 18th and continuing three
days.
Caucus-The Republican voters
of the town of Sank Centre are re-
quested to meet in caucus at the
office of l.. L. West on Wednes-
day, Oct. 8, 1874, for the purpose
of electing seven delegates to rep
resent said town in the Represen-
tative District Convention to- be
