Mazeppa Area Historical Happenings
Compiled by Mike Holtorf

THE MAZEPPA TRIBUNE

May 9,1894


FERBER CASE: The Pine Island Record seems to think that Mr. Ferber has a very good case against Mazeppa in his action for damages for injury to his lime caused by a fall which was due to a defective sidewalk in this village. With all the shouting indulged in during the past by former publishers of THE TRIBUNE regarding defective sidewalks and the ultimate sure result, it would have seemed that more attention should have been give them. Some, however, think that a newspaper prints such matter only to be "eternally jumping on somebody." Such is not the case, however, and all suggestions offered through the columns of the local paper are entitled to consideration. Those who know of the circumstances and the condition of Mr. Ferber's ankle, are sure he will get a verdict in his favor, at the spring term of court in Wabasha county.

A VIOLENT STORM: "Ferdinand Schulze's Farm Visited by a Twister." The House, Barn, and Windmill Torn to Fragments.$1900 in Money Scattered by Unruly Winds. People in the village saw a funnel shaped cloud cross the horizon Saturday afternoon during the storm, and though it passed wide of this place it was conjectured by many that damage had resulted somewhere in the vicinity. Saturday evening it was learned that the farm of Ferdinand Schulze, about six miles south of Mazeppa, [later Kruger land now Dale Ferber] had been visited by a cyclone and the building tom to pieces. In the house at the time was about $1900 in cash and this, with everything else, was scattered by the merciless winds. Of this amount about $1500 has been found, Mr. Birkholz, a neighbor, having discovered the bag containing $1400 in gold and several large bills having been found by members of the family. One $20 bill was found, nearly a mile away. The property was not insured against storm or tornado  ( Peter Bauler is engaged building a foundation for a barn 24 x 40 for Nic Majerus of Belle Chester.
Mrs. Will Jones moved into this village one day last week, and is occupying the HE. Robinson dwelling.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Wagner and Mr. and Mrs. Mike Gregoire, living near Belle Chester, were in town Monday.
Yesterday papers were drawn up providing for the transfer of about sixty acres of land in section 19, town 109, range 14, by J B. Sheldon and wife to Anton Grossback. Consideration, $1,650. Mr. Grossback bas been after this property for some time and now that he has secured it his farm is quite complete.
"Hello!" That's what Elmer Fowler says nowadays when his wife wants some meat for dinner. Elmer has an American Magneto telephone running from the bank to his residence.


AH. Bright yesterday brought to our office for exhibition an elk's horn which he found in the creek near his place. It is about ten inches in circumference at the butt and must have been nearly six feet long.

The Bright district school, which is taught by Miss Georgia Davis, was temporarily closed a week ago on account of scarlet fever being in their midst. The children of I.s . Books were first stricken with the disease and either cases are reported. Theodore Colling was taken with an apoplectric stroke Monday afternoon and was carried to his home. He is subject to these attacks
