One day last week a serious encounter
occurred between Mr. John Brand and Mr..
NJ. A. McComb. both from the Barter

without asking the consent of the latter.
To this McComb objected, and in the
course of TIE conversations. angry words
passed between them, followed by blows.
In the struggle MI Brand got the better
of McComb, and they were finally Separa-

moved towards his horse to mount him.

up by The cJlured II en-, and conveyed on
the wagon towards his home. When he
had travelled some half mile he recovered
somewhat from the shock of the blow;

To Tow wheat TO Eurone.

A man in Duluth has ar Invention which g
thinks will cheaper by q half the cost of trans
porting grain and lumber from the northwest
to Europe. In his idea there are suggestions
of the Leary raft, a canal boat, and torpedo
boat. His plan is to make cigar-shaped cylin-
ders of steel, which are to be loaded in Duluth
with grain, sealed up. taken in tow through
the lakes to Buffalo, through the Erie canal 10
Albany, down the Hudson. and oyer TO Liver
pool, without once breaking bulks.
One of these shells is now on the stocks at
Duluth, and it will be sent to Liverpool as soon
as It's tested and the necessary contr acts for
towing are made. 1t is likely, though that
more than one shell will be built efore an ex
perimental trip across the ocean is made as it
would not be complete experiment nor
would 1t pay to take over only one SHE'LL The
shells are made as large as the locks of the Erie
canal will permit. That is the limit to the size
