A SERIOUS FALL.

Saturday morning about 10 o'clock, Mr..
Wrentzel Groh, carpenter engaged on
the new hotel, met with fall which is
likely to prove quite serious. While as
sisting fellow laborer in placing joist
on the second story Of the building, his
helper accidently dropped his end OF
the timber, and the jar received bysGroh
threw him off of balance and he fell
backward. Finding it impossible TO save
himself he had the presence of mind to
spring from his feet, which act prevent
ed him from lighting on his head and
had the effect of placing him on his feet.
The fall was about eighteen feet and he
came down on the floor first story with
terrible force. The injured man was
Immediately conveyed to Mr.. Saul.
paugh's Office on the opposite side OF
the street, where he was attended by
DIR. Jacoby. 1t was found that both in
steps of his feet were sprained, and the
shock to his whole body very severe.
A carriage was called and Mr.. Groh
taken to his home near the oil mill. The
young man is in good deal of pain, but
it is hoped that his injuries will not be
of permanent character.

PREPARE FOR WINTER.

The cold, chilly weather of the past
week serves as reminder of what is in
store for Minnesotans. II will not be
long before the cold winds will be
sweeping down from the North, and
then everyone will be getting out his
thIekest overcoat. Mr.. I. Longlni has
forseen this, and, profting by his long
experience with our winters, has laid IN
an immense stock of heavy fur and cloth
oyercoats. A large portion of his store
is given up to these coats, which include
minks, mink-lined, fur beaver with mink
trimming, fur beaver with beaver trim
ming, astrakan, choice coon, Siberian
dog, and choice cloth overcoats of chin
chilla, beaver, melton and kersey. The
stock also includes various thick pea
Jackets and vests of chinchilla, astrakan
and fur beaver. These coats can be had
at almost any price from q few dollars
up into the hundreds. Some very ele-
CANT coats are displayed in front of the
store, where they are attracting much
attention. Mr.. Longini has never be-
fore laid IN 30 complete stock, and his
goods are of the very best. When look
ing for an overcoat be sure and give him
a call.

A SERIOUS INCIDENT.
Capt. Keysor Injured by Falling
from a ScaffoldlnR.

A very severe accident happened to
Capt. Keysor Saturday afternoon, which
will result in incapacitating him for
work for some time. He and two car
penters we've engaged in putting roof
on the residence of DR.. ]. w. Andrews,
which is undergoing remodellng, and at
about O'Clock the three were on q
scaffolding at a height of eighteen feet
from the ground. Without warning
this suddenly gave way and precipitat-
ed the men to the ground. The other
two men escaped with slight bruises but
Capt. Keysor was not 30 lucky. He
struck on barrel and cut deep cash
In the fore part of his scalp, and also
suffered severe internal injuries, es-
pecially in the region of his back. He
was unconscious during the afternoon
and evening. He was taken into DIR.
Andrews house and was unable to be
removed to his own home until 10
O'Clock Sunday morning. Since then he
has been fully conscious and Monday
he was much better. DR.. Andrews, who
has the case in hand, is of the opinion
that Capt. Keysor will be able to be out
within a week, though not fully recov-
cred by that time. His condition was a
subject of solicitation Monday by many
friends, and he certainly possesses the
sym pathy of all, who hope to see him
fully recovered before the month Is
over.

The Assistant State Dairy Commits
sioner, Mr.. Howard, recently made an
argument before the State Board OF

of the reduction of the assessed vaiuation
of cows. At present, he argued, there
is no demand in Montana, as there was
two wears ago, for Minnesota cattle ior
hresdinr purposes. The failure OF the
crop in Southern Minnesota and the IN
ability of the farmers to winter their
cattle has glutted the beef market g
that the value of cattle has deprecated
at least s. per head ON the AVERAGE. Inc
result is that the stock owner Is assessed
for considerable more than his STOCK u
actually worth. A man who mas ~, w
in cash is assessed $3.50, but man who
has Sl 900 In cattle Is assessed III ,2OO or
IN 4OO There are 400, 900 head Of cattle
in the State, and if the assessed value OF
these cattle was reduced 81 per head, as
II should be, it would make difference
10 the farmers of the State Of $4,000
and relieve them of heavy burden;
Mr.. Howard is confident the Board VIII
take action in the case.
