One OF the men injured by the snow
! pillow. at Norcross. last week. died on
Saturday evening. He remained un-
coacioas from tine time of the acci-
| dent un il his death, evidently labour-
ing under depressed fracture OF the
| skull.
A brother OF the man He, N,
who was killed last week by the SNOW
plow at Nnrcross, was frozen to
death during the same storm and we
believe the same day that his brother
was killed. Both men were married
aud leave families in poor conditions.
Morris is becoming quite a winter
resort, Storm delayed travellers and
knowing railroad men look upon it
as their Macca.-a point to be reached
at any cost; to be departed from oaly
under the most pressing business
engagement and favorable condition
If the elements.
We again call the attention of the
citizens of Stevens county to the fact
that they have done nothing in the
matter Of promoting immigration
here during the coming season. Soon
it will be too late. and then apathy
will turn into damnirg the cou..try-
Wake up.
On Monday. Mr.. Nelson. road mas
ter for this division of the Manitoba

of snow shovelers, was obliged to
abandon the snow pillow and two en-
gincs with which they made their

walked to Morris, a distance of
twenty.eight miles. They report
provisions short at Graceville.

K. j. HUsEvOLD, Sec'y.
The we'll known Wellington farm
in the town'of Scott, has been sold to
Mr.. John Watson. of Minneapolis,a at a
very fine figure considering the some
what depressed condition of the
county. We understand that the land
Brought $50 per acre. Mr.. Watson
proposes to establish stock farm on
Il very extensive scale, and he has
certainly secured fine tract of land
for such an enterprise. We wish the
gentleman every success and have nc
doubt as to- the ultimate result.
We announce with regret that the
Rev. Francis Watry, Pastor of the
Catholic church at this place is soon
to take his departure from Morris, to
preside over parish elsewhere. The
reverend gentleman will be sadly
missed, and while all good catholics
bow to the wisdom which makes the
4 change, still they cannot be blamed
for not accepting the situation cheer
fully. The progress of the catholic
church here, as far as its material
success goes. dates from the time
Father Watry assumed the charge
and that it has been successful both
in its spiritual and financial results is
due to the never firing and jealous
gentleman, whose piety and earnest
ness have won him the respect and
friendship of the members of other
denominations as we'll AS his own.
Quite large and appreciative
audience assembled at Phoenix Hal
last night to witness the Norwegian
play of Til Saeters.
From an American stand point, the
scope of this play is very narrow and
not altogether satisfying, yet, as il
Illustrating the charming simplicity
of the honest Norwegian peasantry
it cannot fail to delight all who have
a keen sense Of the natural. The
scene is laid in the mountainous re
gions of Norway in the summer time
and reveals the uneventful life of the
somewhat nomadic herders at the
Saeters.
1t is a me'o.drame-introdu
melodies over thousand years ole
Astounding ir exquisite sweetness.
On the whole we were much pleas
ed and wonld be glad to see more OF
Scandinavian life through the medium
of the drama.
The musi: by the Benson orchestrs
was the best we have ever had il
Morris.
After the play ball was given thai
was largely attended and proved to BIZ
a very delightful affair. The Scandi
navian girls are the best walters ii
the world, and with the Strauss
waltzes by the orchestra, he would
indeed, be dull partner who co,llo
not revel in the poetry of motion
"Oh, that waltz -
