HERALD, Sank Cent
Little Phillip Sleeps
Peacefully In Pig PEN
Rosemount--Clad in overalls and
sweater, little two and a half year
old Phillip O'Connor wandered
from his farm home recently and
for nine long hours family and
friends searched for the small boy.
AT 1880 A. M, three-quarters of a
mile away the lad was found
sleeping soundly in the hog pen
with fifty pigs.
Angler Runs For Shore
Towing Fish To Dry Dock
Benson-If you mention 1919
pounds and are talking about the
weights of elephants or meteors,
1t seems an almost infinitismal
weight. But when you have 1915
pounds of raging, fighting north
ern pike on the end of your fish
line-then you are really talking
fish. That is what befell Louis
Sanschagrin, veteran angler last
week, at Lake Linka. He was
casting near shore with frogs for
bait when he received strike. His
rod bent double and threatened to
snap as the big fish surged away
with the bait. With his light tackle
Keeling the fish in and landing
him over the side of the boat was
hn - 81 ~
for shore but he didn't make good
enough time to suit the straining
Mr.. Sanschagrin. Louie had the
solution. As the boat approached
the beach, overheard he jumped
and headed for shore at a dead
run; nor did he stop, until beth he
and Mr.. Fish were high and dry
on land.
Wood Found At
125 Foot Depth
Sleepy Eye-Remnants of the
glacier period were uncovered last
week when small pieces of wood
were found on the Snow property
at the east edge of town. Berdan &
Sons, local well drillers made the
discovery while sinking a well on
the property. The find was made
at depth of 125 feet.
Marriage License
Purchased With 1885 Pennies
New Ulm-Paying pennies for
a license is no longer a new way
of taking the first step toward
marriage, but Walter Reinhart and
Mabel Kuester added a new touch
last week when they paid for their
license in pennies all of the same
year. To obtain that many 1885
pennies they had collected a total
of 600 in all. They came into the
office of Clerk of Court, Carl Witt,
with a pouch full and counted out
225 coppers all dated 1885.
Corn Isn't The Only
Thing That Grows Big!-
Welcome-On a par with some
of the skyscraper corn that has
been making front pages this sum-
mer are tomatoes raised by Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Fink in their gar
den. Three tomatoes on the coun-
ter of a local cafe taken from a
half bushel grown in the Fink gar
den weighed two pounds each.
They were the Oxheart variety and
the two-pounders are not freaks.
All average close to that size.

Flowing Well
Spouts 80 Fl. Stream
Shakopee-Drilling a we'll for a
new service station en- Highway
No. 169 north of town recently, w.
M. Stephens was very surprised to
encounter a flowing well spouting
a three-inch stream of crystal clear
water 30 feet into the air at the
rate of 300 gallons per minute. He
had drilled through clay to a depth
of 100 feet when suddenly water
began to rise through the opening.
When he pulled the we'll casing up
to a 80 foot depth the stream
spouted with all its force at an
estimated pressure of II pounds.
Beaver Stages
Dive and Seek Show
Northfield-Out fer a fishing
trip, John Larson, city recorded,
and Fred Zufeldt, were entertain
ed with a surprise performance
recently in Lake Byllesby. Stand
ing on the bank of the lake Mr..
Larson heard a loud splash-like
cow plunging into the water. A
moment later a beaver emerged
above the surface swimming slow
ly. Larson's dog tore at his leash
in an effort to get at the stranger.
After some hesitation his master
released him. The dog swan rapid
ly toward the beaver which watch
ed him cody until he was about
ten feet away and then suddenly
