Through the Erwin real estate agency, James C. Moses, owner of the ■ 138-acre farm north of the city, known as the Fritzinger farm, has sold the same to Julius Haugk of this city, the ' consideration being SIB,OOO. As a part ' of the consideration Mr. Moses takes ' over the Julius Haugk residence propI erty on Madison street, formerly the | Beavers property. Mr. Moses will hold . a sale of personal property February : 27th, and it is said is contemplating going to Canada for the summer, i where he will take up interests, his son, Carl Moses, having been there for several years, cultivating the large tract of land which he purchased there. Mr Moses is, however, not fully decided as to what he and his family will do. Another deal made through the Erwin real estate agency, was the purchase of the Fred Geier fifty acres east of this city, by County Auditor H. S. Michaud, the land bringing a fancy price, which it is well worth. WITH THE SICK. Al Garard, who on Wednesday fell from a scaffolding at the new city hall, where he, with two other workmen, were working, receiving two broken ribs, is doing nicely, and it is believed I he will get along all right from now | on. On account of the extreme pain which he at first suffered, it was thought that an internal injury might have resulted, but this has been settled in the mind of the physician that there is none and but little pain is now endured by him. Mrs. E. S. Moses, who has been ill | with erysipelas since the first of the week, is better, but is still confined to her bed. Walter, son of L. D. Brown of Pleas- j ant Mills, who has been at the St. Jos-1 eph hospital, Fort Wayne, for severa' ' weeks, is still unable to leave for his I home, butthetrip is believed to be not very far away.
