SHOT TO DEATH.
Another Instance of Firing an 'sUnloaded'
Gun.


Another Instance of Firing an 'Unloaded'
Gun.
A fatal accident, sadly repeating the lesson
of the danger of keeping loaded firearms
in house where there are children, occurred
in the family of John Miller, residing three
miles south of White Bear lake, Friday last.
The Miller family consisted of Mr.. and Mrs
Miller and two boys, one 8 and the other
years old. Friday, Mr.. and Mrs. Miller
went to work in the field short distance
from the house, leaving the two children
to amuse themselves at home. It
requires good many expedients to satisfy
an ordinary 4-year-old boy, and it appears
that IN his efforts to amuse his little brother,
the elder boy discovered shot gun, which
he took possession of, and surprising it un-
loaded, and pointing it at his little brother,
pulled the trigger, with almost the invariable
result gun was loaded and the aim was
good, the entire charge entering the little fell
lows stomach from about the centre, into
which the shot ploughed a terrible hole, cut
ting the alimentary canal so that when the
little fellow drank water it was almost
Immediately following emitted from the
wound. The elder brother made
all haste to notify his parents of the terrible
accident, and the father mounting his horse,
rode as rapidly as possible to White Bear
station, from which a telegram was dispatch
ed to DIR. Hagan of this city, the message
being sent at II o'clock, who responded
without loss of time, reaching Mr.. Miller's
residence at o'clock, but only to find the
little fellow dead, having expired few mo-
ments before his arrival

The Life Insurance Policy of the Late Col.
Culver.

The Life Insurance Policy of the Late Col.
Culver.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Since the above has been the source of con-
siderable comment, it may not be out of place
for me to inform the public through the col
umns of your paper Of the facts in this case.
The amount of this policy was $4,000. The
premium was due March 9Th. Although Col.
Culver was seriously ill at the time the prem
ium was not paid, but on the 10th inst. the
amount was rendered at this agency, and of
course declined by Mr.. G. T. Bull, the agent,
who had no authority to act otherwise. This
action on the part of the agent was sufficient
to start the rumor that the company had re-
fused to ray Col. Culver;s insurance. This
was certainly premature, as at that time the
man still alive. Soon after his decease,
however, obtained the proofs, sent them for
ward to the home Office and received in reply q
letter from the president, saying that the COM
pany would accept the premium the same as
though it had been paid when due. Accord
ingly, have already received the draft Tor the
amount of the claim and paid the same over to
the widow of Col. Culver.
trust this Just and lenient action on the
part of the company will not tend to cause our
policy holders to be delinquent in the payment
of their premiums, but it will act as a reassur-
ance that they may in every instance expect
justice at the hands of this company. It is
such acts as this that has placed the North
western where it now stands, first and foremost
in the ranks of life insurance companies of
America. While it pays larger dividends than
those paid by any other company, yet its sur
plus is steadily increasing, and the year 1878 is
the fifth in succession in which its interest re-
ceipts have exceeded its losses and expenses a
Snoring z.nparaled in the history Of Ute insur-
ance. While the ever restless public, ever
clamoring for something new, have largely en-
braced the gauzy scheme of cooperation in
surance. many have already seen their mis-
take, and not few in our midst have taken
the delusion bait recently thrown out by the
Great Mutual Life in the shape Of cheap in
surance, rebates, fluctuations, etc. The North-
western not only ignores the principle, but
denies the right Of any mutual company thus
to trihe with its members; but with its $751;
100000 capital it moves steadily on, treating
| all its policy holders as equals and Offering
such indemnity as cannot elsewhere be found.

n DUPED MULTITUDE.
An Unreliable Newspaper Calls Forth
Number of Seekers for Employment,

An unreliable newspaper Calls Forth q
Number of Seekers for Employment.
The immediate neighborhood of Third
and Wabashaw streets early yesterday morn
ing, was beseiged by surging, impatient
crowd of masculine humanity, whose unex-
pected advent was as unaccountable to the
average denizen of the locality as would
have been similar number of Laplanders
or South American kangaroos.' They COM
menced coming the night before, and
struggled along in regiments until dawn,
when in the aggregate they must have
numbered 500 able-bodied, brawny armed
and sinewy men. They came from all di-
rections, and represented almost every dis
trict of the Northwest, and the manner in
which street and sidewalk was block
aued, not to amplify on
the choked and impossible condition of
store, Office and stairway entrance, was re-
freshingly amazing and exceedingly incon-
venient to persons having business in the
locality. AS described above, they were &C
tuated by the most laudable and honorable
motive, viz. a desire to obtain employment
in the construction of the proposed Fort AS
sinnaboine, at the new government post on
Milk river, Montana Territory, about 800
miles Northwest of Bismarck. The direct
ence is due to falsehood perpetratedlby one of
the misnomers employed on Bill Kings two
ender, who announced several days since that
a number of mechanics would be employed
yesterday, to commence work on the new
fort. The deluded victims to the clap trap
concern before alluded to, were naturally in
dignant when they ascertained yesterday that
Capt. Heintzelman had gone west with the
18th United States infantry, and was not OK
pected back until next week. A GLOBE
reporter called upon Mr.. j. V. Brown,
the gentleman IN charge during
Capt. Heintzelman's absence, who desires
it announced that no one will be engaged un-
til after the captains return, which will take
place next week. In order to dispense the
crowd the following notice was posted on the
door at the foot of the stairs leading to Capt.
Heintzelman's Office:
'There will be no men employed until next
| week. No man who comes up stairs after read
| ing this notice will be employed under any cir
cumstances whatever"
duped men reluctantly dispersed and sought
returning trains for their homes.
| In reply to query, Mr.. Brown stated that
about 200 mechanics would probably be en-
ployed, the most of whom would be selected
from list of old hands who were similarly
employed two years ago, so that the presence
of so many unknown applicants is but a
sheer waste of time.
The gross injustice of the false and unau-
thorized announcement will be realized when
it is considered that most of the men are
from other States, having came here unde,
the delusion that they would find immediate
transportation and employment. Mr.. Brown
also stated that most of the lumber for the
fort had already been shipped, and that al
the mechanics necessary for its construction
would probably be taken from this city and
Minneapolis.

THE GOVERNMENT POLICY.

LONDON, May 1O.-The Times says the govern
ment has no intention of dissolving parlia-
ment this year. When the present ministry
ask judgment of their constituents and their
conduct, they will be able to present COM
plete account of their policy and results. At
present it is in progress of execution alike in
Europe and Asia, and its bearings cannot be
fully estimated. A few months more will
show what has been the real value of the Ber-
lin treaty and the measures taken in Afghanis-
tan. Russia, moreover, will now know that
the English government will remain unaltered
long enough to insure the execution
of the treaty, and she will not be
tempted to evade by hopes of our
policy being altered by change of ministry or
by appeal to constituents. The ministers will
be enabled to complete the work they have be
gun, and we shall be able in few months to
see with some clearness what it is worth.

Sugar Cane.
fDoWney Courier1.

tDowney Courierl.
There is not the least doubt but
| that the sugar cane can be success
fully grown in Los Angeles county,
and more especially upon the splen-
did corn lands of the Nietos. It
has been conolusively demonstrat.
ed by actual experiment,t that lands
that will produce good corn are en-
tirely suitable for sugar cane. For
many years sugar cane has been
cultivated in Los Angeles
county, upon n small scale,
being hawked about by veg
etable peddlers and others, to
be purchased and masticated
until the juice is extracted, partic-
nlarly by the Mexican population.
Years ago quite large fields Of the
sugar cane were cultivated by the
native Californians in this county,
but the Chinese raise about all that
is grown now. 1t is not an exper-
iment; it is n settled fact that the
cane will grow and flourish wond-
erfully in this county. All it needs
to stimulate this industry, and
make it one of the leading ones of
the county, Is capital. sugar can
be produced here, and when the fos.
tering and developing hand of cap
ital gives its necessary aid, then the
sugar interest will be second to no
other. That time, we believe, is
not far distant. The San Francisco
Bulletin says that capitalists of that
city went $500 miles to open new
sugar plantations in the Hawaiian
Islands, when it is held that there
are good sugar lands in this State
not many miles distant from San
Francisco-lands having every irri-
eating facility and of inexhaustible
fertility. That paper says: "In
Louisiana the orange and the sugar
cane are produced in the same
neighborhood. In Southern Cali.
fornia tho orange comes to perfec.
tion. There are rich valleys with
plenty of water for irrigation. And
yet ingenious citizens interested in
sugar plantations abroad tell US
there are no good sugar lands in the
State.n

are an excellent advertisement
abroad as to what Los Nietos val

tDowney Courier.
From all we can gather from con.
versation with many farmers of
this valley, the acreage sown to
barley this season falls far below
any previous one. The experience
Of farmers with barley last year
was disastrous. Many farmers are
involved in debt, the crop falling
far short of paying expenses.
Next month corn planting in the
valley will commence in earnest.
We understand, from persons we'll
informed on the subject, that the
area to be planted to corn this year
will be much larger than last year.
A vast tract of new land on the
Laguna ranch is to be seeded this
year.
The farmers OF this valley have
been receiving quite large
amount of money lately from the
sale of their hogs. Since the com.
mencement of shipments this year,
there have been sent to San Fran
cisco from here thirty-four car
loads of hogs, or about four thous-
and head. DR.. Wolfe purchased
and shipped eleven carloads; Mr..
Morton, eleven; Mr.. Clifford, six;
Mr.. Dilly, six. The prices paid
have varied from two and three.
