contain large deposits of coal, the opening
of which would benefit us more than the

The Larimore Pioneer relates this: On
Monday a fatal accident occurred two miles
south of Lakota, which was occasioned by
carelessness with a gun which she thought
wasn't loaded" A number of boys were
snowballing, and playfully threw snow at
man saving wood, named Dan Rose. The
man good naturally ran into the house ask
ing for something to scare those boys with.
Seeing gun hanging on the wall, he asked a
French woman if that was loaded, who not
understanding him replied ''No." The man
then put on a cap, raised the lock, and laugh
ingly pointed it at the boys intending to
snap cap. The gun was discharged,
shooting Willie Jones, a young man, through
the body just below the heart, from which he
died in two hours.
Bishop Walker. administered the rite of
| confirmation to a class at Valley CITY the past
week, the first he has confirmed in the terri
tory. The Times says he will depart for New
York Monday. The bishops absence in the
east will probably extend until after Easter,
and will be largely for the purpose finter-
esting eastern people in the work of the
church in north Dakota. Bishop Walker
purposely visited the various cities in his jur-
sdiction during the most unfavorable time of
the year, that he might make no mistake in
arriving at conclusions, and has repeatedly
expressed himself as much pleased with the
present and future outlook; and will so say
to the clergy of the east, from whose ranks
from time to time assistants in the great
work in the new northwest viii be called.

kindly service to warn him of the peril that
threatens his chief. While Logan's atten-
ton is absorbed in the delusion that he is
really candidate for president, his old rival
Oglesby, has secured a clear field for govern
| or of Illinois, and it is understood that Gov.
| Hamilton will run for lieutenant governor, and
that Oglesby will will be translated to state
senator leaving Hamilton to serve as gov
ernOr. The point comes in just here, it is
Logan who goes out, and the scheme is to
serve him as he served Oglesby on a similar
occasion few years ago. Oglesby will have
| the legislature set up for him and let John A.
out, and down into private life. With the
| ompishment of this scheme Oglesby will
have a revenge sweeter than honey, and be
about ready like the other patriarch to depart
in the eifulgeuce of felicity.
Although the Democrats have no party
candidate in the field for mayor of Fargo
they are likely to cut a figure in the contest.
Some days ago u caucus of prominent Demo-
Gratis was called at the office of the BroadGre,
not largely attended, and Mr.. YerXa was
adopted as their candidate. A call was then
signed by other prominent Democrats for
convention at the court house Saturday
afternoon. This was attended by several
hundred voters and speeches were made
| by Col. Morton, DR.. Robertson and others
repudating the action of the caucus and res
olutons unanimously adopted endorsing w.
A. Kindred and the ticket of the peoples
convention. The two evening papers and
the Republican are supporting YerXa, and
the argus Kindred. The local pot is already
hot and boiling over and still week TO the
election. An ordinary presidential election
is tame in comparison. The issues are al
most entirely personal, and the indications
are that the country will be saved by quite a
majority.
At Sims, west of the Missouri, there is
quite boom in town lots, which have adj
vanced 100 per cent in three weeks. In re-
gard to the local indications in eastern Gene
trail Dakota, the Garry AdUocate says: During
the past few months our attention has been
called to the fact of coal being found in this
vicinity by our settlers when digging Wells
On Tuesday last, Mr.. c. p. Hurd, of Clear
Lake township, brought to our Office a speci-
men of coal taken from a we'll he is now en-
gagged in digging on his farm. 1t
was found at depth of
about sixteen feet in a layer of blue,
yellow and red clay. Mr.. Hurd said that in
testing it in the fire, it burns something like
the block coal used here, only there seemed
to be much less gas. He proposes to sink
his well still deeper and see what results may
further develop in the coal line. He, like
many others, seems to be strong in the faith
that coal will yet be found in our coteau
ranges, in quantities that will materially as
sist in our fuel supply.
