Yesterdays Accident.

A number of letters were found On the
body of the man who was killed in the
yards on Monday night, and as required
by law were deposited by the coroner
with the county treasurer. Many OF
them are too much torn and cut up by
the accident to be decipherable, but they
afford several clues as to his friends. He
had no money in his pockets when found,
except one cent. He also had plain,
heavy finger ring marked Is carat, but
which is probably washed. It would ap-
pear that the deceased has been working
for the Northern Pacific railroad com
pany on the Montana division. He had
a letter stating that it was three weeks
since he had been laid off and that he
had not yet received his time check and
asking that it be forwarded to him at
once as he needed the money. The
back of the letter is endorsed in red ink
by J. D. Finn, the superintendent at
Livingston, Mont, saying that his check
had been forwarded to him on the 23rd,
of last month through Mr.. Stokes.
At this time he appears to have been
at Howard, in Custer Co.. small station
about rs miles west Of Miles City. When
he got his pay he seems to sent some OF
it to a lady in Minneapolis as he had a
receipt for a registered letter sentt Mrs.
Sophia Woodward. His note book con-
tains allusiens to G.. 7. Chappell of
Helena, Montana.
Another paper found on him was a
warranty deed executed on June TO-,
1855 by James Nolan and Anna E. Nolan
for five lots in block s of the town of
Manorino, Anoka county, MINI. The
consideration named is $1,000 the vend-
ors retaining a mortgage for $3.50 on the
lots The deed is made out to Walter
Chappell of Hennipin county, and bears
the seal of a notary, but has never been
recorded.
The deceased appears to have been a
we'll educated man and good penman.
Nothing has yet come to light as to why
he came to jamestown, or whether he
had any baggage or bundle at any OF the
lodging houses. AS above stated his
effects are in the care OF the county
treasurer. He was buried at the High
land Home, as... t4-...s

A Checkered. Career.

Northwestern Farmer & Breeder: The
jamestown Capital has been appointed
the official organ OF the Farmers alli-
ance in North Dakota. The editor of the
Capital, Mr.. Warnock, first pushed his
editorial pencil in Dakota on the republi-
can newspaper of jamestown, The Alert,
but subsequently took editorial charge
of the Capital, conceded TO be the ablest
democratic newspaper in the territory.
The daily edition of the Capital was
however suspended for want of support,
but the weekly was continued, still ad-
herring to democratic principles, until
republican successes last fall gave assur-
ance of more hopeful and lucrative
field within it's fold, when the policy was
Immediately changed and the Capital
has since strongly championed the re-
publican cause. Now that Mr.. Warnock
embraces the Alliance creed, which places
principles before party platforms, the
transition becomes easy and quite natu-
raj, and presents middle ground OF
vantage which must be quite acceptable
to the versatile, if not altogether con,
sistent genius who will preside over the
destiny of the new North Dakota ALI.

The action of the council Monday
night in deciding to set out eight beds
of flowers in the public park will be
heartily endorsed by the citizens. Moth
ing could be a better advertisement for
the city than to have Creditable show
of Towering plants in the park, as it will
at once attract the attention of the pas
sengers on the trains,and help to remove
their impressions of North Dakota as a
place where flowers and trees cannot be
raised.

The Injured go East.

The three men who have been laying
at the Gladstone since last Sundays ac-
cident, had recovered sufficiently by
yesterday, to make it safe to have them
removed. There had been some talk of
removing Mr.. Lounsberry on Monday
but the doctors decided that it would not
be advisable on account of his broken
leg. Yesterday all the patients seemed
a good deal better, and it was decided to
take them east on the afternoon train
G. NJ. Lounsberry and n. D. Evans the
mail clerks were sent to the Northern
Pacific sanatorium at Brainerd, and
travelled in the sleeper. F. Fl. Nichols
the baggageman wished to be taken to
Minneapolis, where his wife has been in
great suspense since the accident, SO a
cot was prepared and he was carried in
the mailcar, as the sleeper goes through
to Duluth. He was accompanied by h1f
brother-in-law, Mr.. Appleby who came
mp from st. Paul to superintend his re-
moval.
Mr.. G. G. Eager went along as far as
Brainerd with the two mailclerks, and a
telegram this morning announces that
the patients seemed none the worse for
the fatigue of travelling. Everything
possible that could add to their comfort
in travelling was done by the railroad
company. The patients speak very high
ly of the care and attention they
received while at the Gladstone, from
the manager and his assistants, who die
all in their power to ease the wearines:
of a sick bed.

It is claimed that funnel shaped
cloud indicative of cyclone was seen IN

of some is that the frogs we're caught uE

NOTES.

NOTES.
Augustus Haight was the only james
town man on No. yesterday. He re-
turned on the special in the evening un-
harmed and as lively and clipper as ever.
Supt. McCabe, who returned to Crys-
tai Springs again last evening, came in
about noon. The track has been cleared
OF the debris and trains are again run
ming. Three of No. ISIS freight cars were
loaded with Washington territory horses.
Enough Of them escaped to fill car
which came through this noon.
There we're number of railroad men
among the passengers on No. L, and
when the accident occurred they irnme-
diately picketed themselves about the
wreck exercising sort of police surveil-
lance. One human hyena who attempted
to steal the registered mail was prompt
ly gathered in by this efficient police
force. It was intended to place the fel-
low under arrest and bring him to justice
but he escaped during the excitement.
The collision at Crystal Springs yester-
day is the first accident which has oc-
Cured on the Dakota division since
Superintendent McCabe has been at the
helm. Yesterday and today he has been
almost entirely occupied with matters
growing out of the accident which re-
quired his personal attention. Arrange
ments for taking care of the dead and
wounded were made with a care and
delicacy which was appreciated by the
friends of the unfortunate men. Super
intendent McCabe is q practical railroad
man and no emergency has yet occurred
where he has not risen equal to the oc-
cacior

generous to fault. Many a lad about
town will henceforth look iu vain for the
big engineer who supplied him with
candy and loose change. Everyone who
knew Walter Boss knew him to be a
man Of noble worth and sterling quail
ties Of character. His unfortunate and
untimely death will long be mourned.
The remains of Mr. Slattery also went on
that train, going to St. Cloud, Mimi,
where his parents reside. He is said to
be nephew of the postmaster at Bis
marck.

AD1os. 1880.

The past year, like its predecessors,
has been an eventful one, but in
many respects it has been remarkable.
The disasters by fire and food have
bean humorous and destructive, while
some of tho most prominent men Of
the nation and Of the world have
passed "to that bourne whence no
traveller returns" These events,
which caused q ripple on the Ocean
Of feime for brief period, have passed
into history and the busy world
moves on with the same regularity
chat characterizes the bosom Of the
restless ocean after its surface has
been disturbed by the sinking Of a
mighty ship. Sic trdnsit gloria gsGndi;
one generation passes away, another
takes it's place, times and seasons
come and go and the struggle for
wealth and power continues.
At the close Of the year we desire
to express our thanks to the public
for the liberal patronage bestowed on
the INDEPENDENT during the past
year, and respectfully solicit con-
tinuanoe of the same throughout the
coming year. In our own behalf we
desire to say that our constant en-
deavor has been to produce as good q
paper as our ability would permit and
the patronage would warrant; and
while ITO err is human" and "there is
mono perfect, nc net one,"s we, in
common with others, are liable to
mistakes and no doubt have made
many crooked steps; though we de-
sire to state that whatever errors
may have been committed are of the
head and not Of the heart, as we have
not knowingly or wilsully injured or
insulted any one; and If any reader
feels aggrieved at anything that has
appeared in these columns during the
past year we beg to say that there
was no intention of disappearing
or wronging anyone in any way what
ever. r..
For the coming year we can only
promise that our best endeavors shall
be put forth in the publication Of q
paper which shall be acceptable to
the general public, and trust that our
efforts to present every subject
treated OF in a fair and impartial
manner and avoid giving offence may
be appreciated by liberal patronage.
With the best wishes for the future
welfare Of our patrons and friends, wo
bid adieu to the year 1889, and wish
all q prosperous aud happy New Year.

Revision versus Reform.

The Democrats in the last Congress
wanted to lower the tariff from an
average Of forty.seven to an average
OF torty-two. It was called "reform"
and the Republican party stood up
on its hind legs and made most
unearthly howl. The country would
be ruined and the solar system would
60 to pieces unless protection was
protected. In the present Congress
the Republicans will probably lower
She tariff a good deal more than the
Mills bill ever dreamed OF doing, but
Shey call It revision" which makes
II all right. Go ahead, gentlemen.
A rose by any other name would
smell az sweet, and the practical
difference between reform and re-
vision is ga little as that between the
northern and northeastern corner Of
- hair.--lCassia County Qdaho)
