the cellar, and little accommodation from
the merchants, we shall be all right yet.

Fort Buford last Saturday night. While run

observed on the track. The engineer blew his
whistle, shut of steam and reversed his en-
gine, but too late to avoid the consequences.

seventeen cars. About two hundred cattle
escaped. A little less than half that number
were killed outright or seriously manned. Five
trainmen were injured, three of them proba-
bly, fatally. No blame is attached to the rail-

The event Of the North Dakota fair in Grand
Forks will be the sham battle, which will be
participated in by the Grand Army of the Re-
public and the territorial militia. The battle
will be fought on September q, and the audi
ence on that day will in all probability be
larger than on any other day of the fair. The
contest will not only be entertaining, but it
will serve as an educator for the militiamen
by giving them experience in the movements
on the field. The managers OF the fair are de-
termined to make great effort to give the
people Of Dakota the finest exposition ever had
In the territory, and in this worthy purpose
they will be heartily supported by all citizens.
The railroads have agreed to rate of cent
mile in Dakota to all persons attending the
fair. This rate has never before been granted,
and 1t assures for Grand Forks an immense
crowd Of people.
