F. E. Bush, who has been here
looking over the city as a location for a shirt factory, writes
Harry Hamm that he is confident that Little Falls will secure the factory. He states,
however, that he doss not expect to get it started as soon as
he had hoped. He does not ex-
.pect to establish a factory here
before January 1st or later than
March 1st.
Philip Westfall and Joseph
Gastrowski, two West side
youths, were broug'ht before
Justice Gaudet Wednesday evening for displaying too much
zeal in celebrating Halloween.
John Karnowski complained
that the boys pushed over an
outhouse. The boys were sentenced to pay fines of $5 and
costs and restore the building
to its original condition.
The case of the town of Mt.
Morris vs. the town of Little
Falls was not completed Tuesday and was continued over until later in the session when the
remainder of the evidence will
be heard. The "next case taken
up was that of the village of
Pierz vs. Nicholas Karst. The
title to land is involved in this
suit. The village of Pierz
claims a piece of land as a
street while Mr. Karst claims
it as his property. A differ-
ance in plats is responsible for
the suit.
What is thought to have been
a record price for a hog was
paid Tuesday when the Little
Falls Packing company wrote
Hirman Helmerick, who lives
about a mile north of Green
Prairie Fish lake, a check for
#52 for one porker. The hog, a
sow, was in fine condition and
was delivered dressed,
raised the beam at exactly
pounds and at 8 cents per pound
netted Mr. Helmerick $52.
Higher prices have been paid
for breeding purposes but this
is thought to be a record for a
dressed hog. Alive the hog
would have weighed something
over 800.
John Kolacz was found guilty
Thursday evening before Justice
Gaudet on a charge of failing
to send a boy under the age of
16 to school, as required by law.

same charge on September 26
and was released when he promised to send the boy to school
regularly. Thursday night
when round guilty he was sentenced to pay a fine of $20 and
costs amounting to $28 92 or
serve 30 days. He refused to
pay any fine and was locked up.
Friday morning after spending
the night in the jail he was in a
more amiable state of mind and
was released after paying the
costs of the case on condition
that he send the boy to school.
If the boy is not sent to school
regularly lie will be required to groceiT store-
pay the tine or serve the time.     Faust will be the owners.

Who Is The Looser?
A man manufactured a clever
counterfeit $5 bill and with it
paid his rent, the landlord passed it on to his coal man for fuel,
the fuel dealer settled with his
hired man with it, the hired man
gave it over the bar for drinks
for friends and when a little
later the original maker and
owner came in, and the saloon
man gave it to him in making
change and the counterfeiter
did not dare to call attention to
it and took it home. The question is just who was injured in
this transaction.

Journal's "Business Locals"
column.
