(From the Transcript.)
George Sullivan, who was
taken into custody here by a
Northern Pacific officer suspected of being one of two men who
committed a hold, up in the St.
Cloud yards the first of the
week, pleaded guilty Thursday
to a charge of drunkenness and
was sentenced to 10 days in jail.
This charge was brought against
him in order to hold him until
the victim of the holdup arrives to identify him.
A brakeman who was one of
the men robbed was of the
opinion that the man held here
was not the one wanted but a
St. Cloud liquor dealer who arrived Friday afternoon was positive that he was not the man
wanted. The sentence was suspended and he was released.
Practically nothing has been
done by the Morrison County
Autombile club in the way of
raad work this season and the
association has a neat balance
on hand. R. B. Millard of this
city, secretary of the club, had
charge of most of the road work
done last year but was unable
to give the association his time
this spring and for some tinfe
now it has been impossible to
secure men for road work.
A contract has been let by
the club for brushing- a piece of
of road between this city and
Randall and it is probable that
other work will be done the
coming fall if labor can be secured. The club is in good condition financial!}' and if nothing
can be done this fall will have a
fine balance to start out with
next season.
County Auditor 13. Y. Mc-
Na.iry has been notified by tbe
Minnesota tax commission that
a reassessment of moneys and
credits has been ordered in six
Morrison county, towns and one
village. The assessment books
have been examined by the commission and the assessment in
the seven towns deemed unsat
isfactory. The reassessing will
be done bj' men appointed by
the commission.
Following are the towns to be
reassed: Pike Creek, Buck-
man, Bellevue, Elm Dale, Little
Falls, Ripley and the village of
Randall.
Morrison county will have an
excellent crop of corn this year
if estimates already made are
born out. Few reports have
been made as yet but indications
are that much of the crop will
run from 40 to 60 bushels to the
acre. Louis E. Larson of Swan
River, has one of the finest
looking' crops in the country
and in order to estimate the
yield Mr. Larson cut and husked
a portion of it. From this it is
learned that the crop will run I iaS department of the company.
