Fragmented local notice text appears to reference an attorney at law and notary public in Winona Minnesota with unclear details. The readable portion mentions a practice address and a possible reference to a rate or reasonableness standard but lacks coherent actions or dates.
The writer notes that communications for publication reflect the editor's sentiment while the author remains solely responsible for content. News and interest items from farming, manufacturing, railroading, shipping, and immigration aim to develop Minnesota’s resources, drawn from across the state and beyond.
The piece argues against the idea that Republicans and War Democrats seek revenge or a return to Civil War hostilities. It cites hostile editorials from the Quitman Georgia Review and others, decrying vengeance while condemning attempts to revive old party divides. It notes the call for peace yet warns of continued rancor in Southern states and political power plays.
A Serbio-S era report details wheel executions for murder and highway robbery, while other crimes yield throat slitting or spine breaking. It notes a notorious 1824 massacre in Belgrade’s Belgrade district where Detrestis family was slain by two men, Sebastian Alexandry and Moses Werthettin, with loot found on arrest.
The case details two men Alexiry and Werthstein captured for the murder and robbery of a farmer. After torture and confession, they were tried by a full bench and sentenced to be broken on the wheel. Executions occurred on the fortress glacis with a cross-shaped scaffold as crowds watched, contrasting Werthstein's anguished pleas with Alexiry's grim composure.
