STRANGER THAN FICTION.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
Astartling report reached Bismarck
on Thursday evening, announcing the,
drowning of Col. Fred w Jones' It came
SO straight that every body believed it, and
subsequent advices only confirm the sad
intelligence. The Colonel was out with
old man Boughton and partner. Bough-
ton is a hunter, who has thoroughly
tramped the country between the Missouri
and Yellowstone. He knows it well and
makes the most Of hunters life. He
has a completecamp outfit and is prepared
to fight grizzlies, Indians fire and flood.
It was natural for Jones to fall in with
Boughton. He found in him a man who
could teach him something and give him,
full cup of frontier experience. Last
week the hunters with their OK, horse,
pony and wagon moved out
z WEST OF MANDAN
and camped lin wide coolie thirty-fve
miles from the Missouri. Their camp
was finely located on what
would be an island if there was any
rise of water in the sickly creek that
drained the cooley. The past week has
been one Of rains. On that side of the
river they have come down after the fash
ion of water spouts and "'busted'' mill
dams. Four o'clock on Wednesday the
sun light Of heaven was shut out and the
darkness of an eclipse settled down upon
the prairie With the darkness came
terrible storm thunder, lightning, hail
and rain. In a few seconds torrents of
water were sweeping around the
island and in few more @
ts THE HUNTERS WERE 1APRIsoNED.y
Jones and Boughton got into their boat
and undertook to escape in that way.
Their companion said he would try it on
foot. He did, and with the desperation
of a lost man reached the bluff. He saw
| the boat drift down stream and capsize.
Jones went out of sight at once. Bough-
ton struggled a few seconds in the stream
and went down. The boat was no fit
craft for flood. 1t was only built for
quiet waters, and steady padding or pol
| ing 1t is easily understood how she hap
pened to upset. Hanlon couldn't have
kept her ahoat The strongest man in a
prairie flood can only go down. The
housetop topography of the country makes
the most improbable flood popularity.
The man who escaped told the Keogh mail
driver Of the accident and he brought the
news to town. All rumors disproving the
original story have been found false. The
Colonel's unhappy fate is sincerely de-
plored in Bismarck. He fought with
Custer during the rebellion and was a
soldier of stainless record.

Grand Concert.

The celebrated and world renowned
Hutchinson Family viii visit our city and
sing at Y. P. C. A Hall next Wednesday
evening in a grand concert for the ben
eft Of the society. The New York Tribune
says OF them: 'sThe Hutchinson family
have been here. The sweetest singers of the
land have become endeared to the people.
They sing because music and melody is their
natural atmosphere and people viii crowd to
to hear them because their singing fills =
want which the people feel To praise them
would be superfaous. We remember the
troupe quite well when they came to the front
in the anti-slaVery movement and sang their
songs of emancipation with always sad nm
dertone. they still sang hopefully and fun of
faith. How completely has that faith been
justified. How triumphantly can they sing
of their fruitiOn now We always go to
hear them, for it is good for US. Even their
saddest songs seem the sweetest. Why Is
it that the music of sadness Is always the
best. Their rollieking fun makes us laugh,
but the sweet, sad songs for which they seem
particularly adapted move Us as no others
can" Don't miss this rare treat, but come

that town, when the horse in some way be-
came frightened and ran away. Mr. Twins
boy fell off and was not much burt, but the
Peterson boy was thrown Of, and, uufortu-
nately, his foot caught in the stiTrup and be
was dragged some distance with his head
striking the ground. The horse was finally
stopped and the unfortunate lad extrieated
from his position. DIR. BoHghton Of this city
was Immediately sent Tor and went out there
and rendered all the aid possible, but the
bruises and contusions were so great that no
remedy could be applied, and the boy died
on the following evening. The accident cast
gloom over that community, and his be.

worm ia the wheat.
ternber.

On Wednesday last farmer came into /.
Kline's etore and said that he was sure there
were worms in the wheat. He opened
stalk at the joint in our presence and we
took it to Messrs Burkhart 4 Chapman's
and examined it with maguifying glass, and
found it to be veritable worm "alive and
kicking" The glass viii perhaps magnify
about 80 diameters, and the worm was as
large, in that view, as butter bean. 1t can
hardly be seen in the stravs, but if any one
viii take the pains to open stalk at any
point, and look closely, the worm viii be
found especially on the late sOwn Chill
Club wheat. The worm is white, or light
green color, and is almost the shape of to-
bacco wsrm.
It might be well for our farmers to look
into this matter and see If that is parasite
which would make the same deadly blast
that the rust would bring.

Ras,y Reaeetioas.

A friend ,yho has been travelling over the
