Dr. Michael Joynt
Michael Joynt graduated from the medical department at
the Iowa State University a short time ago. He returned home Wednesday. He has
not yet decided where he will locate. He is a bright, talented young man and has
a strong, pleasing personality. He will, we are confident, succeed in his chosen
profession. Mr. and Mrs. Joynt are deserving of great praise for the excellent
opportunities they are giving their several sons and the sons are entitled to
equal credit for making the most of the advantages offered to them.
Lost Her Baby Girl
Thursday morning Mrs.P.V. Hand lost her youngest
daughter Ruth, aged 21 months. She had been ill for some time. The funeral was
held Friday afternoon. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. There was a very
large attendance. Mrs. Hand has the sympathy of a large circle of friends in her
sorrow. This is the second death in her family within a year. Mr. Hand died last
July. How often is happens that misfortunes does not come alone.
Walked Home in His Stocking Feet.
Albert Potratz of Lotts Creek was one of the winners in
the Aberdeen land drawing last fall and made a trip up there this week to make
his selection. Coming home Wednesday morning he took off his shoes somewhere
beyond Mitchell and when he got to Cylinder he thought it was about time to get
them on. When he came to look for them they were not to be found. Albert walked
uptown in his stocking feet. He says he picked out a dandy good section of land
anyway so the loss of a pair of shoes is of no consequence.--Whittemore
Champion.
Judge Bailie Considerate
An attempt was made to enjoin the saloon at Arnolds
park a few day ago but Judge Bailie denied the petition. His honor doubtless
thinks the resorters ought to have some opportunity of wetting their whistles
during the dry, warm weather.
Caught Six Young Wolves
Frank Smith and Emil Droesch caught six young wolf cubs
on the river bottom in Nevada township last Sunday. This was a nice catch.
M. Liddy Sells for $85 per Acre

Died While Plowing Corn.
About ten days ago a sad affair occurred in Lotts Creek
township, just across the Kossuth county line. L.Wetzel was plowing corn. He
stopped his team and sent his daughter to the house for a pail of water. When
she returned he was sitting on the beam of the plow. He said he was not feeling
well. He sent her to the house again to have an older sister come and take his
place. When the latter returned she found him dead. Doctors had previously
warned him that his heart was not in good condition and to be careful.
Will Meet in Emmetsburg July 12.
The republican judicial convention will be held in
Emmetsburg July 12. A candidate to succeed Judge Coyle will be nominated. The
convention in which he was first named was held in this city four years ago. The
delegates could not agree on a candidate and an adjournment was taken to Spirit
Lake. The opposing aspirants were Mr. Ladd of Estherville, L.E. Francis of
Spirit Lake and B.E. Kelly of Emmetsburg. Judge Coyle was finally nominated. Mr.
Kelly's strength going to him.
M.F. Coonan Invests in Montana.
M.F. Coonan returned from Montana a few days ago. He
bought 480 acres of land in a valley about 100 miles south of Miles City. The
location is perhaps 75 miles northwest of Belle Fourche, South Dakota. He paid
$12.50 per acre for his land. There are many ranchmen and homesteaders in that
locality, but the land looks good to Mr. Coonan. Several railway lines are
surveyed through that part of Montana.
