Farmers are buSily threshing throughout
the county. Probably one-half of the
wheat crop will be threShed from the
shock, but little will be marketed until
prices improve. The average Weld is some
what better than previously reported. Joe
McDearmOn, 4 farmer near Columbia,
threshed small field of wheat last week
which yielded tifty-fve bushels to the acre.
This is the largest yield yet reported. In
the vicinity of Bath and Warner there are
many fields which go forty bushels, and the
general average is about thirty. In the
western part of the county, where there is
mostly new ground, the average is some
what less. No doubt the average through
out Brown, Sphinx, EdmundS and WalwOrth
counties will reach twenty-five bushels per
acre. The acreage of oats and barley is
large and the yield good. . The Baptist

a Sad Case

Ole Bemsen, who died of sunstrOke about
ten days ago, near Candy, Yellow Medicine
county, left Norway for America about 4
year ago, and since his arrival had been i'll
dustriOus and frugal. Recently he wrote To
a sister in Norway to come over, and sent
her a ticket. Regarding the affair the Mar
shall Messenger SAYS: 4 few days ago a
letter was received at Candy saying that
the sister would arrive there the next morn
ing. The letter got into the possession Of
Borre Peterson, a well-tO-do farmer, who,
realizing what shock it would be To the
poor girl TO arrive among strangers and be
confronted with the sad tidings that her
brother was dead. went to meet her and try
and prepare her for the information. lie
found her weary from the tedious journey,
but joyous in the hope Of soon seeing her
brother, who was tie only friend or ac-
quaintance she had IN the new world. Mr.
Peterson shrank from his task, and only by
the greatest effort began the narration Of
the incident, the sequel of which trans
formed her fond hopes into weight of
grief. She was not frantic. not unreason-
able. but her sobs told tale of deepest
grief. Many eyes were mOistened by the
incident. and could anything have been
done by the passengers to alleviate her dis
treSS, nothing would have been considered
a sacrifice in that direction. No pageant
attended the burial of her deceased kin. no
eulogist will chronicle his virtues. He died
as he lived, lowly and unknown. The
stranger among strangers observes no empty
ceremonials, but her afflictiOn is not less
real, nor her sorrow shom of It's pangs.

Another BODY Found.

Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock a
body was found bying in cOrnfeld near
the foot of Long lake, about three and one
half miles west of this place, which proved
to be the body of Michael Ramin. Ger
man. Ramin had been working for John
ID. Epman, a farmer. On Saturday he I'M
ished his work and received the sum of SIS,
all that was due him. He started for his
home, about two miles from Epman's place.
His family expected him home ON Satur-
day. He did not appear, and yesterday,
thinking he had been foully dealt with,
some friends were notified and a search
made. About l D. ID. he was found living
dead In q eOrnfeld. about a quarter of
mile from the road. He had evidently
tumbled over and fell ON his face, as
it was badly bruised The body was
very much decomposed. His boots,
which he had carried on his
arm lay near by and his money was found
in his pockets. DR.. Merrill, the coroner,
accompanied by Judge Lehmicke, who was
acquainted with Ramin. went out to hold
an inquest, but thought this unnecessary,
as he bad died from appoplexy or heart dis
ease. There was no evidence to show more
than this. Ramin came here from Ger
many four years ago and was about 80
years old. He leaves wife and four chill
dren. The youngest child is b months old.

They noticed little change in it, except the
smoke and sand pit was forming to tho
westward of it. July Storey reached
latham inlet, into which the Putnam
river empties. He intended to ascend the
river as far as his large steam launch
would carry him, and then go into winter
quarters. The expedition would then di-
vide up into sledging parties for the pur-
pose of exploring Northern Alaska. AS
soon as navigation reopened he intended to
come down Putnam river and explore
Notak river, which empties into the inlet
north of p utnam river. Lieut.. Purcell re-

Stephen Warner last Thursday night. At
1880 o'clock the report of 4 gun was heard
in the direction of Mrs. Warmers house
The police soon reached the spot and learned
that shot had been tired through a window,
supposed 10 have been her bedroom. but in
his haste or excitement he made mistake
and shot into the room occupied by the
hired girl. Had the position of her bed
been the same as Mrs. Warmers she must
have been killed or wounded. Search was
made for the wOuld-be assassin, but he
could not be found. Suspicion pointed to
Mr.. Warner, as he had made threats against
her life some time ago. In the morning
young man came in town and told of seeinga
man pass his house on the WaSeca road with
shotgun. His description of the man tailed
with that of Mr.. Warner and an officer
was sent TO WaSeca at once. who found
Mr.. Warner at the Northwestern depot
waiting fer train to go TO Milwaukee.
When accOSted he gave his name rs Davis
and showed some confusion. Mr.. Rey-
nOlds, the officer, brought him here and
lodged him in Jail. He had his examina-
ton Saturday and was sent to jail to await

Mrs. Warner were divorced last spring,

time. He is about 30 years old and his
home is in Dodge county, Minnesota.
