Shell Lake Waterman: A hor-
rlble affair happened last week in one
of the camps on the point north of the
lake. As near as can be ascertained, the
circumstances are as follows. Two
squaws-Shinaways's wife and her son,
Chicog's wife and twelve year old boy
were in the camp boiling pitch to pitch
a canoe The pitch got afire and in
trying to take it out doors it got spill
ed on Shinaway's wife and boy, who ran
back to the bed to smother the flames.
Chicog's wife took her year-old child
out doors, and then went back to help
the others. Whether the burning
pitch, and considerable quantity of
kerosene at the doorway got afre, and
stopped the only way of escape, or
whether they were too badly burned
to make the effort, is not known, but
soon after some one found the child
outside safe, the roof of the camp
burnt, and the three inmates with
their heads and limbs partly burnt off.
The remains were buried out in Bias
haw.

The Reason why.

The people inquire why a town like
Valley City can have a daily newspa-
per while some much larger towns can
not have one. To give pointer as to
why it is so. it is only necessary to
state the fact that the business men of
Valley City recently purchased the
Valley City Daily Times from Hon.
c. +. Kindred for $1,000 and present
ed it free to Chas. f. Richardson, its
editor, Mr.. Kindred only received
$4,000, however, as he contributed
81 900 on the purchase price as his
share in the pool. In some other
towns, more wealthy than Valley City,
newspaper man is considered almost
a highway robber if his price for adj
vertising is high enough to enable him
to get bread for his family.-Brainerd

Moose Lake, Mimi.


We made visit to Minnesota soil
last Saturday and spent Sunday and
part of Monday with friends at Moose
Lake, in Carlton county. 1t has been
some two years or more since We were
there, and we found many improve
ments had been made since then They
have a fine saw mill, good school
house, a town hall, hotel, three
stores, a drug store, blacksmith and
wagon shop and a millinery and dress
making establishment, besides the less
neediul appendage of two or three sa-
looms. The town is situate on the
banks Of beautiful lake of clear
water well stocked with fish. We no.
ticed one thing that is all wrong with
the most of the settlers, which is that
they cut off all the timber and then
stop work They have one of the best
farming sections in Northern Mime
sofa, and every settler might soon be-
come independently well off if he
would but clear and work the soil.
Winter wheat, oats, potatoes, and veg
etables of all kinds grow splendidly
there and fully mature. Corn is not
a profitable crop, perhaps, but some
varieties will do we'll and each farmer
should raise at least enough to fatten
his own pork. 1t is a splendid grass
country and stock does well and be-
ing sheltered by so much timber win
ter easily.
Another thing they need and we
need the same thing here in Douglas
county-is better roads into the in
terror The people seem to give this
matter no thought or at least no at
tention. A little work and money
would give them good roads in any
direction. We think if our friends
McCabe, Dunsmore, Sargent, Barrows,
Wiltsie, and two or three of those
farmers near by would take hold of
the matter they could settle the road
question in short order, and we hope
we shall find them hard at work in
that direction when we next visit them.
You have got one of the best coun-
ties in the State; don't let it lag away
behind for the want of little push
and enterprise and a few dollars of
expense.

The Pathfinders gave two very
good entertainments here this week to
small but appreeiative audiences. The
troupe Is better than the average We
would suggest, however, that they
learn some new jokes, farees, and
tricks, so as to avoid so much repeat
ing. What they have got is all right
for one night but it is quite stale by
the time it is run through the second
night. They will have better house
the next time they come If they will
guarantee something new.

L. H. Warner, a former citize

L. H. Warner, former citizen
of this place, now of Cedar Rapids,
Nebraska, has got a divorce from his
wife, Jennie B. Warner We haye
seen a copy of the charges on which
he based his application, and we must
say that if we ever had any respect or
sympathy for the man, we certainly
have neither now He probably got
his divorce by snap Judgment for
we do not believe he could ever sus-
tain the charges made, in any open
court. He retains possession of their
two children, two pretty little girls,
who are entitled to sympathy.

With this finding Of the jury, Capt.
Bishof7s arrest naturally followed, and
he was so arrested on the charge of
murder i'll the second degree. He
waved an examination and the court
put him under bonds in the sum of
$4,000 fer his appearance at the next
term of court. A score of men stood
ready to go on his bond Mr.. Bishoff
mas the sympathies of every one, but
there is an absolute letter Of law that
may not recognize sympathy. How
ever, if he is punished at all, the pun
ishment will no doubt be the lightest
known to that letter of law.

The grounds constituting our
public park, across the track from the
Court House will be seeded down this
season and put in good shape. Now
there should be II row Of trees set out
all around the enclosure and trees
and shrubbery set out in the grounds
proper. The place could be made
beautiful and attractive at very
light cost, and a portion of that $500
appropriated for tree planting should
be expended there and upon the Up
pertown park also, if the grounds
there are ready for it. Don't be afraid
of making your town look pretty and
attractive If we have no self-respect
in this direction STR gers will certain
ly have none for Us.

Another Murder.

Information reached town last Tues
day to the effect that a brutal fight
and probable murder had occurred at
the "moonshiner" abode of one Joe
Blackburn, situate in the woods about
twelve miles from Gordon, in the
southeast corner of this county 1t
seems that half-breed named Bony
Lombard and man named John
Martin got into fight at Blackburn's
place and the latter was fearfully pun
ished one Of his injuries being irac-
tured skull After the fight Martin
in some way got down to the agency.
while Lombard went to work on a
drive on a stream about five miles dis
tant. Mr.. VIM Marley of this city
was deputized by sheriff Thompson
and sent down there to look up and
arrest Lombard, and after quite
search found him on the drive and
made the arrest Wednesday evening,
arriving here with his prisoner on the
Omaha train Thursday evening.
Thursday evening word was received
that the injured man Martin was dead.
Blackburn is a hard case and has
for long time evaded the liquor laws
both national and local, but Mr.. Var
ley got positive evidence of his guilt,
by buying liquor at his house on his
return with his prisoner, and Thurs
day evening papers were issued for his
arrest, and an officer went down there
this Friday morning to gather him in
and his wife also and they will pro-
badly be up on the train tomorrow,
Saturday. Lombard will probably
not have an examination before Mon
day, as it will be hard to get witnesses
here before that time.
?. S.-We understand that it was a
woman, supposed to be Mrs. Black
burn, who sold the liquor, and she is
the person the officer is now after.

The Inquest Concluded,

Mr.. Isadore Plumadore, one Of the
victims of the collision in the bay last
week between his own sail boat and
the Martini, was a citizen of Rice's
Point, Minnesota, and his body it is
claimed was found in Minnesota wa
tiers. This being the case the coroner
of St Louis county deemed it expe-
dent to hold an inquest on the same,
which was done last Friday and Sat
urday. From the Tribune of Sunday
we clip the following relating to the
unfortunate affair.
The coroners inquest upon the body of Isadore
Piumadore drowned III the bay by the collision
between his sail boat and the steamer Martini last
"Wednesday evening, continued yesterday,
and large number of witnesses were examined
in the morning aud afternoon. Capt. Bishoff OF
the Martini testified that he blew three whistles
when within SO or l. 900 feet of the sail boat and
reversed the engine when within 200 feet of her.
His testimony and that of Others went to show
that after the collision everything possible was
done TO pick up the men who were struggling in
the water. The captain claimed that Piunadore
had been in the habit Of running near the steam
er and then turning away, and that therefore he
was led to expect that he would do 50 "Wednesday
evening. After very careful examination of
all the witnesses who could state anything bear
ing the case the jury rendered their verdict as
follows, virtually attaching blame for the acct
dent upon the captain of the steamer. We have
- ~.
find verdict to the effect that no blame be at
tached 70 the captain, who evidently did all that
he could do to prevent the collision but who
might have prevented it had he been sufficiently
well qualified as master of steam craft. Learn
ing, however that they must either blame or ex-
oneTatc fully, they rendered the following YER
