A garbled column bundles health, fairs, politics, war memory, and frontier events. It mentions Minnesota receipts, a large blaze in Minneapolis, potato pests, and Gen Howard and Gibbon in Indian campaigns. It notes Carlin’s letter on Fort Rice boundaries and Indian reservations, plus troop pursuit of a Government herd.
The Brainerd Tribune laments pine land frauds, condemns theft of timber, and calls for action to curb abuses while noting political blame lines. It cites McCaine’s tale to illustrate graft, praises brave acts of heroism, and discusses a Maryland surgeon’s operation and a dramatic pine land controversy amid national politics.
The text presents a garbled dialogue involving the King of Bavari and a soldier missing a leg. The king asks about the war, the soldier responds with terse, evasive reply about not going to wars. The line ends with the phrase You dont go to me wars and I dont go to them.
The piece mocks Gen Howard and proposes a war department editorial corps armed with goose quills to write Joseph and his followers to defeat. It taunts Joseph’s fear and Belshazzar-like trembling while praising editors’ “valor.” It hints General Sherman’s proximity and defers to higher commanders’ judgment.
