News from September 1889

Probably from the St Cloud Journal:

Little Falls Transcript, Sept 11:  Last Friday evening, Leon Houde attempted to come home from the St Paul and Minneapolis fairs, but was sound asleep when the train reached Little Falls, and went on as far as Brainerd.  The next morning he took the freight train for home, but was again sound asleep when the train reached Little Falls, and he went as far as Royalton before waking.  He then got off the train thoroughly disgusted, and came home by private conveyance.
