FOR SHERIFEH. S, DOTY

The republican county convention
made an excellent selection 'or the i'm.
portant office of sheriff, placing in NOM
ination a man too we'll and favorablv
known through the county to require ex-
tended introduction and eulogy-Henry S.
Doty of Sank Centre. Mr.. Doty has had
wide experience as public officer in the
capacity of deputy under the late sheriff
Mickey, he having been practically sher-
if of western Stearns, and all who have
had occasion to learn anything of his of.
fetal record will bear testimony to his
ability and fidelity in the prompt dis
charge of his duties.
Mr.. Doty is an old soldier who served
his country through three years and
three months of active campaigning,
having participated in twenty pitched
battles under the leadership of Grant,
Sherman, Mcpherson, Logan and How
ard, from Fcrt Donelson to Atlanta.
Retiring to private life he engaged in
farming and for the past seven years or
more has been deputy sherif-until the
death of Sheriff Mickey. In every posi-
ton in life he is true man, every way
worthy of the unqualified support
of his fellow citizens and his personal
popularity will tell largely in his favor
at the polls.
Henry s. Doty was born in Con-
meant, Ohio, in 1887, removing thence
to kenosha, Wis, at the age OF seven
years where he resided with his parents
several years, and thence went to Elgin
where he resided until the call for $4,000
men by President Lincoln. He enlisted
in April, 1861, for three months in tire
Eleventh Illinois, the first regiment Or
gained in that state during the war.
At the close of this service he at once re-
enlisted in the Fifty-second Illinois and
participated in all the great engagements
OF the army of the Tennessee. He was a
Lrave soldier and has reason to be proud
of his record. After the war ke re-en-
aged in farming at Elgin, ILL.,, and in
1864 was married at Geneva Lake, Wis.
He came to Minnesota in 1868 and has
been citizen of Sank Centre ever since.
He has served as deputy sheriff for near
ly eight years, and IS thoroughly familiar
with the requirements and duties of the
office

The RED RIVER
OVERLOOKING THE PLANTATIONS
NEAR ITS BANKS.

A Stream H Miles In vvidth--I,he
Mississippi In Aiexandria's streets
10000 Acres of AIissouri Lands
Submerged.
Advices from the Red river country re.
port that the damage done to the inhabi-
tants Of the Red river valley during the
past ten days is almost beyond computation,
and the overflow the largest since 1s4S
Most of the plantations near the river have
been covered with water four to six feet
deep, and cribs, barns and many miles of
fences have been washed down and carried
away, Many Of the people have lost their
household furniture, provisions and corn.
In several places the river water extended
from the hills of Arkansas to the hills of
Texas a distance Of 10 to IA
miles. At West Norwood o
negro was drowned trying to
swim from the overflow. Two white men
were drowned in Miller creek, and quite a
number Of other deaths al e reported. Plant
ing in the bottoms will all have to be done
over again. The levee situated south of
Alexandria, Mo-, broke in several places
Sunday morning, and completely inundated
the town, covering it with water from two
to six feet. The occupants of half of the
houses have sought refuge in the upper
stories of buildings, where they will be i'm
prisoned until the flood in the main streets
subsidies. transportation from one point to
another is possible only by means of
skiffs or rudely constructed RATS. Sidewalks
are overnowed and skiffs are landed in tho
doorways of private residences. Business is
ell irely suspended, There has been no loss
of life nor great damage to pl operty within
the town. AT Alexandria the Mississippi is
fully seven miles wide. The area of farming
lands in the Missouri bottoms that is sub
merged Is estimated at $4,000 acres, and
continuance of the flood will result in an ap-
proximated loss to the farming community
of that region of at least $780, GOO.

AN old FARMER KILLED.
MURDER OF WILLIAM KENSISTON
IN BOOTHBAy, MAINE.
Tho Murderer A. Captured and
Pleads Guilty.

William Remission, an aged farmer at
Boothbay Centre, Me-, was horribly MUIR
dered on, Thursday night, in his own house,
being beaten about the head, stabbed and
shot. When the wife could escape she ran
out in her night clothes TO arouse the neigh
bors and assistance was promptly at hand.
Suspicion was at once directed TO young
man named Lewellyn Quimby, who had
worked for Mr. Kenniston, and who bore a
tad reputation, and had threatened to kill
Mr., Remission. Parties were sent in all di-
fections promptly, every officer being en-
ployea, and the town officers offered reward
of $500 for the arrest OF thu murderer. So
well did the officers do their duty that at
about in the morning the fugitive was cap
tured at Nobleboro, by George Perkins and
A. ii. Remission, the latter son of tho muir
dered man. When discovered he attempted
to escape, and Remission fred three shots at
him from revolver, one taking effect in
his head, but inflicting only scalp wound
and bringing the criminal to bay. The
coronor's jury reported that the killing
was done by Qumby, a complaint was
made, and the accused pleaded guilty and
was committed to Wscasset Jail. The court
room was crowded, and the streets in
the vicinity were filled with an ex-
cited mass of people. Many threats of VIC
lencc were made and there was fear that he
would be handled roughly, but better coun-
sci prevailed. The murder was cowardly
and brutal in the extreme, committed by a
strong young man armed with knife, revol.
yer and iron bar, against man 81 years old
unarmed and awakened from sleep by the
brutal blow upon his head. Quimby is about
20 years old and is son of Ambrose Quin,by
who formerly lived in Boothbay: Iuimoy
has served term in the Maine state reform
school for breaking into dwelling house.
and was released in 1883.
