had not dared tell lest he should kill her.
He is now in Jail.
In this connection it may be added that

4 lawn party, under the auspices of the
First Baptist church, Fargo, was given on
the grounds of Frank Tauner, Friday even
ing. The lawn was brilliantly Illuminated
with Chinese lanterns and locomotive
headlights, and some of the charming
young ladies dispensed candy, peanuts,
lemonade and buttonhole bouquets from
different paris Of the ground, while
ano her company served creams and ices.

In regard to the mat ter of sleeping car
accommodations, Ticket Agent Johnson
says that there has never been a time when
there were not berths for all who desired
them, if they were willing to take upper
berths. There are no lower berths reserv-
ed fer this station, bu5 when any one de-
sires to ride next the roof, they can always
be accommodated. In order to secure
lower berths, if their blood is so rich that
it can't stand the upper, Agent Johnso
states that he will take pleasure in tele-
graphing to st. Paul and reserving them,
whenever ordered to do so by the migrat
ing individuals whose alleged consciences
object to being swayed by the motion of
the car. All the complaints which are
many, he states, are made by people who
won't ride in upper berths.
