THE OLD RED SLEIGH.

ID 50 nae IDS worth it's velEht In gold.
Joe NY father owned yesrs ago
49, lived in the farmhouse. long and
yex proud I felt. the very arst day
I rode around tn the Old rcd sieighi
Yeu sse It's nended, here and there
Where the paint has worn, and left II bare
- y. e forms ma mari !s,i for many ione:.
Hut let them laugh and have their say
Tualways keep the old red sleigh.
It earried loads Of girls and boys;
And one with sunny. floating curis
Waa moro to me than other girls,
And many word OF love we'd say
fancy sad would often ride
In che sleigh together, side by side:
And wePromised once, when the moon shons
To wsiE sorether life,s steep hill:
And We took our wedding ride one day,
Happy as kings, in the old red sleigh.
But the boys were growing smart and tall.
And the old red sleigh didn't suit 1t all
And Fred at last began to tell
How she wouldn't ride in that old SHELF;
And so went to town one day
And bargained there for o brand-new sleigh.
1t was light, and fancy, and easy, too,
But We old folks couldn't make il do,
For IL was painted and striped so hns
i never felt as IL it was mine.
And In sp &c Of all the boys could say
We always rode in the old red sleigh.
Those days are gone. Bright, laughing Fred
10 sleeping the sleep of the quiet dead;
Dick has built him q house on the hill.
And none CT the boys are home but Will.
He Is kind to his father and mother gray,
And takes good care OF the old red sleigh.
All, well, the ties of the past are strong,
And some may laugh who read my song.
But when think Of those vanishing years
I can not stop the falling tears:
And there's nothing on the farm to-day
30 dear to my heart as the old red sleigh.
Good Cheer.

But gradually his adventure with the

he was not surprised at being sum-

nature of the call he at once set forth.
A brisk walk OF few moments brought
him to the Dockstader mansion.
Knocking at the door he was ushered
in by a colored servant, and imme-
diately conducted to the bedroom of
the old burgher, whom he found
propped up in bed and very feeble.
The old gentleman at once informed
him that he appreheHded an early dis
solution, and had, therefore, sent for
him to draw his will. and attend to its
execution according TO law. The negro

Duluth, Huron & Denver.

A gentleman In the city yesterday speak
ing of the proposed Duluth, Huron & Den
YER road, expressed the opinion that the
scheme is purely private speculation on
paper, and that the line will never be built
The gentleman referred to, who is well
known in all railroad matters, believes that
the projectors of the road were of the Opin-
ion that line built in this direction would
be of great injury 10 the local business Of
the Northwestern. Milwaukee g. St Paul
and Rock Island roads in Dakota. The
line would be of no consequence except as a
grain road. and this business would only
give the line traffic for six months in the
year. 1t is the general opinion that the
originatOrs of this scheme are figuring to Sc
cure a certain amount from the three Chi
cago lines TO give up what they are contem-
plating. The Chicago lines. however. are
firm in the belief that no such line will ever
be built Not at any rate in the prest mt
century. They all know what it is to try
and do business in an almost barren or I'M
developed country, and they also know that
If the Duluth & Denver projectors know
anything about the technicalities Of railroad
operation they will look at the
project in the same light as
they do. The purpose for which the road
Is to be built Is no doubt to furnish the
southern portion Of Dakota and the terri
tory between there and Denver with lake
outlet and also cheap transportation, the
gentleman said. Such a line would be of
great benefit beyond a doubt, when the
country through which the line would run
had developed sufficiently to sustain line.
and would even now meet the wishes of a
few grain shippers, but their business
would not pay the mortgage bonds that
would have to be met once year.

The rumors which have been in eircula-

lieved- Vice President and General Mana
ger Van Horne of the Canadian Pacific,

Ing OF the last spike, made arrangements
with party Of the company's engineers to
survey a line from the present terminus Of
the Gait branch 10 the boundary line In the
direction Of Fort Benton. and have details
so arranged that II the company was in
favor Of extending the line, work could be
commenced IN the spring. II is well
known that the building OF this line would
be of great benefit to the Canadian road,
while il would materially affect the bust
ness OF the Northern Pacific, as a portion of
the Montana cattle would be shipped 10 the
Eastern market oy the Canadian road. 1t

would be greatly Increased by the building
Of the branch line to Fort Benton; the In

TO pay the cost Of building tie line But
this IS not the end OF Mr.. Van Homes
schemes. He is contemplating supplying
the lutte mines with coal at a great reduc-
ton from the prices paid the Pennsylvania
producers The terminus Of the Gait
branch IS at one Of the richest coal mines in
America and the material is OF a superior
order which brings ii in demand Its close
ness TO the Butte mines is of great import
ance. as the Canadian Pacific cOuld not
compete with the Pennsylvania cual deal
ers if its mines were very much more dis
tant. as 1t would have the duty to pay. Mr..
Van Horne. 1t appears, is trying to make a
vast monopoly out of his line. and he is sue

Will Restore Confidence.

Special to the Globe.
ABERDEEN, OAK, Jan. LIN a recent
case Secretary Lamar rendered decision
upon the subject Of cancellation of cash
entries, which will tend to re-establsh
confidence in titles held under final receipts.
The hearing in this case UNITED States VS..
Sphinx was had at the Aberdeen land office
upon the Older of Commissioner McFar-
land, to ascertain whether Spink's pre-emp-
ton entry was fraudulent, as alleged in the
report Of Special Agent Jaycox. The testi-
mOny was submitted to the local Office in
June, 1884, and the register and receiver
rendered decision sustaining the entry.
This decision was reversed by Commissioner
Mcfarland, and the entry held for cancel
lation. Upon an appeal to the secretary
the entry was cancelled by Assistant Secre-
tary Muldrow. May 10, 1885. An applica-
ton was then made to Secretary Lamar for
a review of this decision, and Dec. %
he re-instated the entry and
APPROVED IT FOR PATENT.
The testimony showed that Sphinx was
poor man and obliged to be absent at work
large portion of the time while holding
the claim; that he spent as much of his
time and put as much Improvements upon
the land as his circumstances would permit.
and that some six months after making
proof he was forced to sell the claim on ac-
count of financial embarrassment. The
secretary, in his decision, dwells upon
Spink's circumstances, and lays particular
stress upon the facts that the proof was sat
isfactory to the register and receiver and
that the government accepted Spink's
money in payment for the land. In his
conclusion he says that forfeiture should
not be declared except upon the most posi-
tryman. The views of the secretary, as
set forth in this decision. will have reas-
surfing effect upon settlers ON government
land, and will be guaranty to investors
under final receipts that they can find jus
ice at least in the secretary's Office.

DEVILS LAKE, OAK, Jan. AT 1918
last night William Oswald, notorious
character murdered Patrick McWeeney,
one of the early settlers and until recently
night watchman of this city. Oswald had
been drinking, and, as is his usual habit at
such time, he hourished bulldog pistol
around freely, firing one shot at the piano
player in Boring q Doyle's saloon. A few
minutes later McWeeney entered the sa-
LOOM and Oswald addressed him in abusive
language, which McWeeney repealed. Os-
wald il is claimed. struck McWeeney on
the cheek with the but-end of his revolver,
whereupon McWeeney knocked his assail-
ant down. In the act of rising Oswald
drew his revolver and fired four shots at
McWeeney in quick succession. The sec
ond shot penetrated his chest between the
fonrth and fifth ribs on the left side, three
inches below the heart McWeeney was
unable to speak, and died in five minutes.
Oswald fed to a bagnio. where he lived
with the head mistress, and was there
CAPTURED By THE SHERIFF
and jailed. Great Indignation was felt
against Oswald, and his friends organized a
guard and watched the jail for some hours,
fearing lynching. This precaution was un-
necessary, since public opinion favors al
lowing the law to take its course. Oswald
is unmarried, about 80 years old, and a
nephew of j. c. Oswald, wholesale liquor
dealer, Minneapolis. McWeeney was about
the same age, and leaves a young wife,
formerly Miss McGillicuddy of Grand Forks,
vino became attached to him year ago
while he was in jail, he being one Of the
party indicted for the Ward brothers muir
der. Oswald's preliminary trial will likely
be held tomorrow after the inquest. Os-
wald has done more or less promiscuous
shooting when drunk for the past two
years. There is a determination among the
better element that nothing will be left mn
done to bring Oswald to justice.
