A Tragedy.

The strange conduct of the sheriff Of
McHenry county and Commissioner
Hackett's son, as reported in these COL
umns last week, has eliminated in a
tragedy, Mrs. Hack ettt, who fed from her
nome on the Mouse River, having cut her
throat with q butcher knife in the dining
room of the Trafton house, Minnwauka n,
last week. The following letter was
found concealed in the sleeve Of the un-
fortunate woman's dress:
Edmund, do not know the secret. I
am innocent. That child is yours.
swear it. Idle easy. See what your old
est son has done for both of US. want
Mrs. Welch to have the baby. I would
like to see my husband. Don't tell
mother.
At last accounts Mrs. Hackett was still
alive, but there was not the slightest
chance Of her recovery. Her husband
has turned up in Bismarck, Of which city
he was formerly mayor. He has also
been member of fthe legislature. Young
Hackett and the sheriff have not been
heard from. The feeling at Minniwau-
kan, where Mrs. Hackett cut her throat,
is very intense, and it is said that the
male Hacketts would not fare well in that
| town.

Court House Rent.

The action Of the county commission
ers in leasing the. court house for term
Of three years, at an annual rental Of
$500, has been followed by various COM
ments, and a petition was in circulation
this week praying the district attorney
to set the lease aside. The reasons given
for this arc, first, that the outgoing board
Of commissioners had no right to make
lease; and, second, that three years il
too long time. The INTER- OCEAN
made inquiries Of several gentlemen on
the subject, and found the prevailing
sentiment to be against a three-year
lease, but there seems to be no objection
to the price. We called upon Mr.. En-
sign, one of the owners Of the building,
and asked him about 1t. Mr.. Ensign
said he understood that two members Of
the now board had said they had no OBJ
joction to such lease being made. In
regard to tho three-year business, MI.
Ensign said the alterations that had been
made in tho building to fit 1t for court
house purposes had cost he and Mr..
Reed about $1,000, a larger sum than thew
had received for rental thus far; that it
would be necessary to expend at least
S250 more to make 1t complete for county
purposes, and that the alterations made,
the building Of a Jail beneath the court
house, ETC., had left the structure unfit
for any other purpose. He was willing,
he said, to cancel the lease at any time
within the three years that Ramsey
county may conclude to build a court
house of its own. He does not desire to
thrust his building upon the county, az
up to tho present time 1t has been an un-
profitable Investment. Mr.. Ensign could
not see wherein the action of the old
board in this matter infringed upon the
rights of tho new board. The rent was
cheap, and III the county wanted to put
up court house the lease would be ab-
rogatcd-in fact, he gave the old board
the privilege Of inserting an annulling
clause If new court house should be
built

A FreshWater Feud.

Judge Benefits spacious court room
was the scene of trial, Thursday morn
ing, with Rory McRae as the prosecut-
ing witness and Frank Lavergne as de-
fendant. The charge was threats against
the life of McRae by Lavergne. The
court room was thronged with witnesses
and the examination brought out the fact
that this resort to the court was the cul-
mination of q ong-standing and bitter
feud, beginning with Lavergne's doing
breaking and house-building for Nc
Rae, followed by disagreement IN the
settlement, the attachment of McRae's
stock and the replevy of the same. 1t
was shown that there had been some
random shooting and McRae had heard
bullets whistle about his head. McRae's
house and barn being destroyed by fire
was the next sensation, and following
close upon this Lavergne's dog died sud-
denly. The post mortem held by La
vergne showed that the canine had come
to its death from an overdose of fat
pork seasoned with strichnine; and then
McRae lost some hogs, whereat he pro-
ceeded to- Lavergne's house with Deputy
Ferguson and a search warrant, and
there in barrel with other parts of
swine anatomy were found dressed and
picked hog-head and hog-feet which the
McRaes swore they recognized as theirs
or rather those of their lost porkers-
and Deputy Ferguson brought them to
town, and the specimens are Row-or
were-on exhibition in the culinary de-
partment of the justice shop aforesaid.
"Godsake," says Frank Lavergne, my
hog he have head too. kill hog he have
head he be McRae hog godsake.' Frank
is an ex-Frenchman and McRae is
Scotch, but the lines of nationality have
not been drawn in the case, as the whole
Freshwater community-America and
Norwegians as well-has become inter-
ested in the feud. The cause was based
upon remark of Lavergne that he
would "6x McRae," and Lavergne was
bound over to keep the peace. Judge
QBrien appeared fdf the defendant and
MCGEE & Morgan for the prosecution. 1t
is predicted that the end is not yet. This
climate does not appear to be too cold fol

In Love With Dakota.

H. J. Randall, one of the ''salts Of the
earth" and one of the principal business
men Of Devils Lake, has gone to Durand,
Ill.,, on business that will require his at
tention until early In the spring. Mr..
Randall called upon us to say that he
wanted tho INTER- OCEAN to follow him,
and particularly impressed upon us the
necessity for "eternal vigilance In the
matter Of advertising North Dakota to
the world as the one rare spot where
health, wealth and happiness go hand in
hand like charmed trinity; where the
poor man can rise from poverty to
afhuenoe by his own exertions properly
directed; where the plague ofan impov-
erished soil which haunts the eastern
farmer is superseded by two-foot layer
of pure fertilizer, 'rich as bed of COM
post" where the combined clements In
the air and in the earth grow and ripen
the harvest in 80 days; where Ceres
waves her wand and foods the fields
with rolling sea Of golden grain; where
Taurus leads his herds Of Glowing kine''
fat sleek heifers, yellow-uddored COWS
and juicy-loined steers; where the nim-
bic pickerel chases the festive spoon
hook in summer and lodges 'air holes''
in winter; where the pert prairie chicken
and the grizzled grouse come into town
to roost (prior to August l5th) and the
jack rabbit grows to the size of the mule
where the booze blossom on the toper's
nose fades like the snow-pelted violet
and the tippler looses his appetite fol
rum; where there are mo st. Johns and
no Burchards and the political goose
always occupies lofty perch. Mr.. Ran
dali is deeply in love with Dakota.
