The attendance was considerably over 100, and the evening was great ly enjoyed. The program of dances was,of course, the principal enter- tainment, but there were also pleas ant little gatherings of coteries of the old timers and discussion of happenings of the early days and recounting of experiences in taming} the wilderness. One of the precautions that ren- dered the gathering more success- | standpoint | than: its predescessors, was the; fact that it was attended almost | exclusively by people of the older | generation. The former dances | were, to a considerable extent, tak- | en over by the young people of the} village. The attendance included old set- tlers from all the surrounding vill- ages and many from the more dis- | tant settlements of the county. | It was decided to give a picnic | early in summer. TOWN HALL OPENED FOR FARMER FOLKS Beard Decides to Give Them Use of Building—Wil Promote Market Plans. The Grand Rapids town hall is to be opened this season as an as- sembling places for the farmers of the surrounding country. This de- cision was reached at the meet- ing of the town board Monday night’ in view of the fact that the — vill- age has no market place and no building for the shelter and con- venience of rural people when they come in on business or to sell their produce. Modern equipment and a kitchen where lunches may be prepared will it is believed, be appreciated by those whom it is intended to serve. It is the intention that this gathering of farmers and their wives at a given place shall give impetus to the demand for a public market here. M’LAUGHLIN ASKS $15,000 DAMAGES Hill City Man Begins Suit Against J. E. Greenfield, Alleging False Arrest. Thomas McLaughlin of Hill City has begun a damage suit for $15,- 000 against J. E.

Franzen, in his complaint al- leges that he was severely injured in the fall of a trestle on which) he was working, at one of the Oli- ver company’s properties near Coleraine last year, and demands $1 >. He charges that the ma- 1 in the trestle was faulty and the construction defective, and blamed the company and Cooper, who had_ the contract for the work, for the accident. The evidence went to show that his head, back and arm were in- jured, and that he is still suffer- ing from his hurts. Several per- sons who were employed with him; when the structure went down gave evidence for the plaintiff. All sus- tained his contentions, and testi- fied as to the manner in which the trestle had been constructed. The defense put all of | them through a rigid cross examination, and also called witnesses to show that the plaintiff was guilty of negligence. Coroner Resigns Job Dr. Thomas Russell has resignec. his place as coroner of Itasca county, and Dr. M. M. Hursch of Cohasset has been elected by the county board to serve out the un- expired. term.
