babies'' all round, but in summing
up, defendants claimed that there
was ample notification in the bonds
preparation and delivery. to put Mr..
Ulsaker on the inquiry,-that he
might have been sufficiently aroused
to have questioned these defendants
as to their disposition to become
sureties on a bond capable OF reach
ing $40 Q,00O-that from the very
natuT nd face of the bond it ought
to bav0 shown that these defend-
ants did not mean to stand such a
thing, even though it was not said to
him in so many words. On the
other b and the plaintiffs claim that
these men had ample time, fully a
month, to look after the paper signed
and could have at any time had
their name stricken from the bond
before the bank failed; or when
they signed, could have put in any
provision notifying Mr.. Ulsaker
of the condition, which would
have held in law and released them.
But then here is the difficulty,
Mr.. Ulsaker had in his unaccounta-
BILE weakness given over the money
and it was beyond his reach--this
he began to realize, so was it not
natural for him to take this bond,
rendering it as str ing as possible and
rely on the court--in case If contro-
versy and the bank itself in case of
failure-to help him out of what
already promised to be bad affair,
assuming that Mr.. UIsaker could
not have then possibly gotten his
money out of the bank on demand;
even though depending mostly on
the bank, was it not a natural
course--whether catching at straw
or MOTTO hold to this the only
bond he cound get. He could
scarcely have been expected to kill
the bond himself. 1t was clearly an
unfortunate business transaction
between himself and the banks
agent. One might imagine the con-
ditions on which, say KoDetich.
Workman and Purdon signed the
bond. and wonder why Ulsaker
could not have seen it, and it is
very easy on the other hand
to imagine that the party or
parties on the part of the bank
thought they were setting up a
scheme on Ulsaker to pacify him,
and get all the money he had or
could collect-and still all slgners
slip out of this halter on one pre-
text or another. Easy to imagine
these things, but thus far not so
easy to get at the truth.
1t seems that prior to the banks
failure, assistant cashier Seager was
sent over to Mr.. Ulsaker's office for
money, giving checks for the same,
which accounts for those mentioned
above, and being thrown out by the
court, cut the claim down to $23,-
86O.81. And in charging the jury
the judge instructed that under all
circumstances a judgment must be
charged up against Mr.. Goodhue, or|
if they saw fit could charge up the
judgment against all the defendants.
The jury were out over night and
most of the next day, and brought
in judgment as instructed, failing
to agree as to the others. H. F..
Miller and A. NJ. Miller of Fargo,
and McCumber & Bogart of this
city appeared for the defendants;
and Gen, Geo. P. Wilson and J. W.
Arctendar appeared for the plaintiff.

The passenger track Will be laid ON the
wes, side Of the Gut House aud sheds

lrains in the. rear OF the house. When
the building is completed as Intended

The road has also purchased an addt
ti0nal IS acres from e. r. Drake upon
which they intendsa 70 erect round house
machine shops and yard and switch
facilities. It is impossible at this date
to state or approximate the amount OF
money that will be expended in this
city and vicinity by this road. AT
Topeka last week Col. Bush pur>
chased one half of an entire block for
which they paid $25, 900. The location
Is an excellent one being nearer the
heart of the city by half block than
the Santa Fe. The company has very
fine yard facilities consisting OF eight
acres south of the city. There are now
in transit from the mills large lot of
steel rails and other material, which is
delayed ON account of the strike.
They have $4,000 tics lying on the
dump ready for distribution. II the
rails and other material were here the
trains on this road would be running
Ia Thirty days. In this connection we
must state that Messrs. Baker Il Son,
contractors, have secured the contract
for grading the road through to Gar
nett, and are pushing the work with
the utmost vigor. In ten days twenty
miles more will be let.
Thus 1t will be seen that the *. N.
& D., road, although the youngest road
in this city, have expended more
money In this city, and present brigh>
ter prospects, than all the roads COM
bined. This is not all. Before Colo
neis Bush and Harris get through with
their contemplated enterprises 1t will
unfold such greatness TO this people
that they will feel like hailing them
as public benefactors, such as the Mont
tor knows them to be.

City of the Oaachita, Monroe, we re-
produce from the New Orleans States
of Sunday:
The Monroe Oil Company has had
boom unparalleled in the history OF
new companies. The idea only took
fruiiion few days ago, and on yester
day we are happy 10 state that the
capital stock, 100000, was all sub
scribcd for, and our friend, Capt. John
III. Hanna has assumed the presidency,
which is Of itself a full guarantee of its
being grand success, for "What's the
matter with Hanna" never knows such
a work as fail; he Is all vim, business
and enterprise, and would instil life
into almost anything that any other
man would let go to ruin. The pro.
perty at Monroe selected for the oil
mill is the homestead Of Gov. 5. ID
Mc1Iuery, and is pronounced the most
beautiful spot fn the city, and that IL
sufficient of itself 10 establish the fac'
that the company will make all things
Lovely as well AS successful, and it has
our kindest wishes for prosperity.

A COMET FOR EARLY RlSERS.

Prof. Il. Il. Barnard, Of the Wander
btlt University Observatory, writes to
the Nashville (Tenn. American, under,
date of the Sth inst; III wish to call
attention to the fact that We now have
q naked.eye comet in our morning
skies. The comet discovered by Fabry
at Paris, France, on Dec, last was
quiet easily seen as shazy star with
faint tail in the northeastern sky.
With the telescope the comet was u
beautiful object, with tail some five
degrees or six degrees long, very slen>
der aud neatly shaped. A bright STAR
like nucleus shone in the head and was
surrounded by nobulous glow oi
light. A group Of small stars could be
seen some distance back of the head
shining though the gauzy train without
any percepiible diminution Of their
iustre. Tho comet promises to beln
conspicuous object in II few days, as it's
brillancy is now only sixty times that
of discovery and it will rapidly In
crease up to the 10Th, ut which time IL
will be brightest. The comet will
then be visible in the evening, setting
less than an hour after the sun, but 1t
will be AGO times as bright as when
discovered which may somewhat com-
pensate for the disadvantage Of its
being seen on twilight sky. The
comet will then be moving very
rapidly toward tho southeast"
