grocery line, and who sell cheaper
than the cheapest. Mr.. McLennan
was formerly a partner OF Mr.. No
BILE, and Mr.. Morrison was their
gentIemanly and affable clerk; both
these gentlemen will be glad to see
all their old Superior customers at
their new store.
From Col. Hayes, who has just
returned from trip over the North
ern Pacific, we learn of serious
accident which occurred to the
westward bound W ednesday morn
ing passenger train at Island Lake,
| some distance west of the n. p.
Junction, which resulted in badly
demolishing the train, wounding one
man and killing the engineer and
baggage-man. A pile bridge had
been set Oh fre-probably from
sparks from some engine that had
passed over it previously-an the
tops Of the piles on one side for
some distance, as we understand it.,
had burned off, but leaving the track
apparently in good condition, and
the bridge being located just around
a curve, the engineer did not dis
cover anything wrong and ran the
train on and got almost over before
1t was precipitated into the wafer
Men were Immediately set at work,
and II was expected the wreck
would be cleared away and the
bridge repaired by to-day (Fridav)
Our saloon-keepers must be
selling some fearfuIly bad wills ky
or else some of our citizens have
been getting outside Of an immense
quantity Of it, for we have never
seen so much drunkenness here as
within the last week. Monday
afternoon d. Geo. Morrison, our
worthy q SchooI-Di>trict Treas
urer; relative of Morrison'S; john
Grant and several other parties
were carou>ing in Gallagher's sa-
loon and having a high old time.
Daring the afternoon James Sny-
der, the tailor, happened in, and
they got him fall too Daring the
carousa,, Snyde who had about
1872 in his pocket, lost something
over $2I OF it. In justice to Mr..
Snyder, however, we should state
that he is not in the habit of induig-
ing in such ''pleasures, and regrets
his inadyenture very much, and
says it will teach him to hereafter
keep out of bad company The
rest Of the party have been "on iC'
all the week, and ought to be
ashamed of themselves, especially
Mr.. Morrison, who, besides being a
prominent CITIZEN, Is member Of
the School Board, a position he
ought TO respect.
w hen any of the "boys" ask Joe
Tourvijle what caused that i'm
mense swelling around one Of his
eyes, he tells them that a mule
kicked him, bat report tells a dit
ferent story. 1t appears that Jo-
seph, who is wheelSman OF the
Stillman Witt, has on one or two
occasions lately, taken a "leetIe" too
much "benzine,' which diSplea>ed
Capt. Edwards, who informed him
that unless he should quit it, he
would have to leave his service, as
he would not have drunken man
on his boat. Joe, when not under
the influence Of liquor, is one Of.
the best-hearted fellows in the
world, but when he does have any
quantity aboard, generally feels like
hurting some one. This was his
condition last Monday evening,
while coming over from Duluth, and
when Captain Edwards informed
hun as above, it incensed him con-
silerably and caused him to utter
threats Of dire vengeance on the
Captains head Landing the boat
at the dock, Joseph proceeded to
his house, where, after meditatinc
over the matter awhile, he coucIud-
