Crone Bros invites shoppers to visit for large city stock and to be convinced by a wide display. The store emphasizes readiness to show goods at all times.
The Minneapolis Times exposes Henry Francis Allan as a smooth promoter and con man sought by police in several cities. Allan claimed to form English US mortgage ventures and proposed a large scheme with English law fees. A Minneapolis correspondent warned Brambel not to trust Allan, but Brambel later joined the scheme to mislead the public.
The Times notes Brambel planned to exploit gullible investors by pushing a deed with no value. A warned gentleman’s integrity was cited, yet Brambel signed the worthless deed on January 6 after receiving numerous checks. The letter's existence is acknowledged, but Brambel did not reply.
A large excursion from Brown Nicollet and Sibley counties drew about 500 passengers from Minneapolis to the state farm and Twin Cities. Col Liggett and Mr Kunze led speeches on farming’s value, followed by tours of university departments and laboratories during a post dinner visit.
At St Paul on Friday the Silver Men of the state honored Abraham Lincoln with a banquet. Mr. Lind delivered a lengthy financial address praising monetary policy, credit, and national progress from 1830 to 1870, urging continued support for the state and country. Other speakers included Donnelly Day O'Brien Owen Howard and Judge Willis. Additional anecdotes and remarks filled the evening with light satire and literary quips from famed writers and figures.
Sleepy Eye report ties Henry Francis Allan to a Santa Margarita ranch purchase of over fifty thousand grazing acres valued near six dollars per acre. British counsel J W Warburton claims Allan invested £320,000 in rotary engines and the consul warns readers about the ranch fraud. Also noted are local visits for a jeweler start, a court commitment for a Linden girl deemed insane, and a newborn daughter to August and wife.
