Fargo Republican: Dakota papers speak Of
the bill introduced by Delegate Raymond per-
mitting the homesteader to be absent from bis
claim four months during the winter as one
Of the most important measures for the benefit
OF settlers in Dakota that has yet been intro.
duced in congress- 1t is just such practical
legislation as this that is important to our peo-
pie, and they appreciate the work of their rep
resentative who is striving to have it enacted.
North Dakota Inter Ocean: Less than two
years ago, Rev. H. H. Brownlee, Presbyter
ian minister Of Grand Forks, gave up his pull
pitt and coming to DEVILS Lake, took up a;
claim Of 160 acres two miles east Of this CITY.
He built house and barn upon it and broke
90 acres. When Mr.. Brownlee proved up he
went East with his family on visit Last
week Mr.. Spiesman, Of Niagara, New York. !
VINO Is recent arrival, saw the claim, ad- q
mired and paid $4,000 for it. !
Fargo Argus: The Grand Trunk has closed
a contract to carry $4,000 BUSHES of wheat
from Chicago to Liverpool at the rate of fifteen
cents per hundred. The rail haul from Cbica-
80 to Montreal is over six times the distance
from the Red River Valley to Duluth, for which
wheat is taxed twenty-five cents per hundred.
1t cannot be charged that it is because of the
proportion of shipment, for North Dakota
sends many times seventy-fve thousand bush,
els of No. l hard to Duluth.
A Pioneer Press special, dated May 10, says.
Alfred NJ. Pease, the missing Barnes county
treasurer, has not yet turned up. 1t is believed
that he is defaulter to the full extent of the
shortage shown by the books of the Office
$A,S76.S6 To-day new developments have
taken place. The county board this forenoon
took possession OF the treasurers office. noti.
fied his bondsmen Of its vacancy and will to-
morrow appoint successor to serve the re-
malnder Of the term. G. E. Bauder, formerly
deputy treasurer, and abrother-in- law Of Pease.
gives 1t as his opinion that he has absconded
and will in no way attempt settlement. His
family, who live at Sanborn, this county, have
not seen Pease for two weeks, and his wife is
nearly heart broken. A gentleman recently
returned from Minneapolis, states that he saw
Pease in Minneapolis on Friday last. The lat
ter is known to have acquaintances among
stock spectators there, and it is thought spec
ulatlon absorbed good deal of the county f.
nances Should Pease succeed in raising funds
to cover the deficit, he is still guilty of misap-
preparation of county finances. It is thought
he is gone for good, and his bondsmen must
stand the brunt. There are three bonds, and
the county is amply secured against loss. It's
securities will not be affected. In addition to
the above crookedness Pease left good deal
or personal paper endorsed by friends, and It
ls understood that one of his bondsmen is stuck
for several thousand dollars added to the other
burden. Several suits will be instituted
against the erring official or his estate. Pease,
while in Minneapolis, stated that he was on
his way to the home OF his parents in Iowa, to
get money to straightcn out his difficulties.
