The jamestown Branch.

Mr.. BLY,, OF Walker & BLY,, contractors
on the jamestown branch II. R., was on
the train going west on Saturday, and in
rep,y to inquiries about the work to be

miles of track this season and would do it.
Work grading would commence as soon
as 1t was possible, and the laying of iron
would begin June 1st. and all they could
grade would be ironed. This information

The Great Mouse River Country.

One of the most promising countries
and one that is tributary to jamestown is
the Mouse River valley, which lays north
west of this county some seventy OF
eighty miles This country abounds with
any amount of timber and possesses water
as pure as that of the great james river
valley. The attention of the outside
world is being directed to this soon to be
thickly settled region by the construction
of new railroad leading from James
town to it. very center. The road is al
ready graded some thirty miles from this
place, and the Alert was informed by
Messrs Walker & Bly,, who have the con-
tract for completing one hundred miles OF
the road this coming season, that they
would commence laying iron about the
lst of June or before, if circumstances
would permit There is no denying the
fact that the prompt opening OF this road
will encourage a heavy emigration to
this new country during the coming sea-
son, and that jamestown will be greatly
benefited thereby The Bismarck Tri-
bune of yesterday morning has the follow
ing to say of the sporting. advantages the
Mouse river affords:
On Sunday Harry Galloway and Mike
McLcar returned from Mouse river. They
had left the main party, consisting OF
ex- Mayor Hackett and three others, at
Turtle creek, at which point bare ground
was encountered, and as the outfit was on |
l., - nd nf fiCh
Mr.. Galloway came in for wagon trans
portatioA. He left here Sunday evening |
and will return tonight or tomorrow
with the brain food.
Another member Of the party named
Jones, arrived in the city yesterday after
noon. He is well pleased with the trip,
and is an enthusiastic admirer of the
Mouse river region. In his opinion there
never was such stream for fish. He was
reticcnt about telling what the party did
in the way Of capturing the finny inhabi-
tants of Mouse river lest it should be re-
garded as 4 fish story. Pickerel, pike,
black bass, and red horse predomiuate,
though there are some bul!-heads and
other species found there. 1t was no feat
at all, Mr.. Jones assured us, to throw the
spear through hole in the ice and haul
out from two to three big fish. The larg-
est one caught welghen twenty-four and
one-half pounds, and the greatest number
that were captured in one day were 342.
They were taken in about six hours with
four hooks.
The half breeds are coming into the
country and taking up claims. One of
them has taken possession of of ex-Mayor
Hackett's, upon which the town of Vii
lard is situated, claiming priority of To-
cation. Several of the party remained at
Willard to look after the interests of the
white settlers.
Mr. Jones reports game in that country
as quite plentiful The appearance Of
the black fox is not an unfrequent sight
in that valley.
The snow was about fifteen inches
deep on the level when they left, and the
grass under it was fresh and nutritious.

Jamestown to Have an Artssiaa Well

jamestown to Have Qn ArteoaA WeeSs
The Alert is informed that there il .
move on foot to sink an artesian we'll q
Jamestown. The exact location although
not definitely settled, will probably be on
the bluffs east Of town. The reason sub
scribed for choosing this location i that
as the bluffs are some scventy-five tese
above the level Of the river bottom that
an additional force of about that number
of feet could be obtained. It y Pro.
posed to bore down about two hundred
feet or further if necessary, in order %
secure an abundant flow of mineral water.
Who knows but this enterprise may re-
suit IN unearthing an abundant supply Of
coal as well as watel. Probably no 80
terprlse would do more for jamestown IN
the way of convenience and advertising
than good artesian well.

Fatal Accident.

Last week Thursday afternoon as
MI Uriah Howe and wife of MOretown,
VT, were on their way to st. Johns
bury, and when near the residence of
Emery Clark of East Cabot, on the
Mollie brook road, their horse was
frightened at some object by the road
side, and ran them OFF over an embank-
ment some fifteen or twenty feet high
with fall of nine feet in going six
teen. They were both thrown out, the
wagon coming down on them. They
were evidently not much hurt so far,
and Mr.. Howe inquired of his wife if
she was killed. She replied mo" He
told her TO crawl out if she could.
which she did, but before he could fol-
low the horse gave another plunge,
and striking Mr.. Howe on the stomach
/ killed him instantly. Mrs. Howe
was considerably injured and terribly
frightened, but her call for help wa
responded to by DIR. Lance and anoth-
er gentleman from Cabot, who hap
pened to be in that vicinity, and who
with other help carried the dead body
of Mr.. Howe to Mr., Clark's house

James Nelson is building a new
horse-barn, and on Thursday evening
he invited large number of friends to
help him dedicate it. While the lovers
of pleasure were tripping the eight

more sober minded were singing psalms
in the house.
On Monday evening of this week as
George Nelson was driving down the
hill south of the house, one of the thills
broke, letting the wagon on to the
horse. There was lively work for a
moment until the horse was free, but
fortunately no harm was done more
than a wrecked wagon and few slight
scratches upon the horse.

The Way il Strikes Them at
BrattlebOrO.

We are firm believer in the rights
of boys. We believe in their right to
enjoy life and have Il good time on all
proper occasions and in all proper
ways, without needless interference
one of these proper occasions is the
Fourth of July, and we believe that
one of their inalienable rights is to
make a noise and celebrate" the day
to their hearts content. But we do
not believe in their right to make the
whole night before the Fourth utterly
miserable, horrible and uncomfortable,
as was the case this year and as has
been the case regularly for years past.
Nor do we believe in the right of the
village authorities to allow this to be
done. 1t is a lasting disgrace to this
or any other town to allow it to be
turned into a perfect pandemOnium by
an army of incipient rOughs, nine
tenths of whom could not tell, to save
themselves from going to jail what the
Fourth of July signifies. We do not
believe the authorities have any moral
right to issue virtual permit for the
boys to make night hideous after
twelve o'clock midnight. -Four o'clock
in the morning is early enough for any
boy who has been taught the first princi-
pies of decency to begin his racket
and if the boys parents have not
taught him this, the officers of the law
should take him in hand. Moreover,
it is the sheerest nonsense speaking
mildly-for the authorities to issue
pretended regulations, appoint a squad
of special police to enforce () them,
and then let the uproar and mischief
90 on from dark to daylight without
let or hindrance. 1t is useless for the
officers to say that it ''never would an
swer" to NEEDLE with the boys fun,
since they would be sure to have their
revenge i'll some way. On the night of
the next third of July let them arrest a
dozen, or twenty, or fifty of the ring
leaders, no matter whose boys they
are, and the ''revenge" will come in
the shape of a proper quiet in the
streets during the hours when invalids
and working people, if no others, need
rest and sleep. Last year Greenfield,
/ Mass, awoke to a sense of the disgrace
it was mourning by allowing such out
rageOus performances in its streets
during the night before the Fourth,
and this year proper quiet was OBJ
served. Next year we hope that some
some such sense of the propriety of
things may be manifested at IA point 30
miles further up the river Brattle-

The New Presbyterian Church.

The new Presbyterian church on
Eastern avenue is well under way, and
bids fair to be an ornament to the vii
lage as the following facts will show.
VIM. j. Bray has contracted to do the
work, the society furnishing the mate
rial. The audience room is to be 40x60,
with a seating capacity of four hundred.
Under this will be the vestry, to be
used more commonly. The whole job
is to be completed by Dec. Ist., but
probably the house will not be occu-
pied before New Years. The church
at present numbers about one hundred,
of these over seventy are resident
members.

The CongregatiOnalists united with
the MethOdists in observing children's
day July 2nd. The services were held
in the town hall which was profusely
decorated with evergreens and flowers.
The presence of fourteen little song
sters added much to the pleasure of
the occasion. The hall was well filled
and the exercises consisted, in the
morning of singing a greeting by Miss
Cora Daniels and remarks to the chill
dren by the pastors l. p. Chase, and c.
H. Morse. In the afternoon two motto
exercises, "Christ our mediator" and
"Come unto me-" were given, also reel
tations and singing by the choir.
