thrown before or after the killing is
not known to us positively.
There are two sides to the case so
far as danger to Brandburg's person
is concerned, and the county is badly
wrought up over it,. The Journal
says that whisky and beer did the
thing.
Brandborg is q wheat buyer at
Henning, a station in Otter Tail
County. and President of the County
Alliance. He is a very radical mem
Der of the Hall Hompe faction, and
we mention this solely because the
community is divided on this line to
an unwarranted extent. He is 45
years OF age, a man of unusual
strength, of about 200 lbs. weight
a Swede by birth. He has been in
politics about six years, once a pro-
hibitionist, but working at times
with the republican party, and with
the alliance. The Journal says:
President Brandborg is an aggres-
sive man and has domineered the al
lance with an iron hand. A striking
instance of his policy was shown
when he crushed Register of Deeds
Boen at the recent county alliance. y
(Boen is the Register who secured
the mortgage statistics OF Otter Tail
County, The above sentence is
doubtless somewhat exaggerated,
but Mr.. B. certainly was dominant
spirit in whatever he undertook.
The above statement is gathered
from the published accounts, and we
hope that justice will find Mr.. Brand
burg guiltless OF crime, just as we
feel a deep sympathy for every man
in SO serious a trouble.

G.. w. Brandborg.

Whatever may be the political hos
tilities between men, heartfelt SYM
pathy arises in every breast when an
antagonist gets into the deep waters
OF trouble. Mr.. Brandborg is Ger.
tainly involved in a profound sor-
row, and we extend to him our deep
regrets and earnest sympathy.
just where the right and the wrong
lies, we do not know. The future ex-
animation alone can tell. Mr.. B. is
undoubtedly man OF strong pas
sions; but that he is not a victim to
evil passions or temper is shown by
the fact that he is reformer-even a
strong prohibitionist. This shows
that his reason is on the side OF
the weak, and his Judgment located
on the moral side of his nature.
We gather a few facts regarding
the matter from the Fergus Falls
Journal, and as the coroner's inquest
holds him for manslaughter, the par
ticulars will be more specifically mar
rated in court.
On the 18th an alliance celebration
was held at Fergus Falls, and W. W.
Erwin addressed the people. A man
by the name of Halvorson was in
toxicated, came upon the stage and
disturbed the meeting. He was ar
rested and taken to the lookup. His
friends sought out Mr.. Brandborg,
the president OF the alliance, and urg-
ed him to get Halvorson out OF the
lookup. It is said that B. refused in
very strong language; that he told
one man who asked him to do SO to
''shut up;" however this may be, an
alteration took place near the lock
up, where the crowd wanted to get
Halvorson and take him home. B. or
dered the crowd not to get too near
him. zone man did and Brandborg
struck him a terrific blow under the
right jaw, and it knocked him cold. ;"
B. says he slapped him and he tum-
bled over. The account says, cit
was fifteen minutes before he rallied,
and they thought him dead" When
B. started for home eight or ten men,
struggled along after him, with the
purpose (as stately of holding him
for arrest. Ole Anderson was in ad-
vance. B. reached over fence,
sliced a poplar rail, and struck at
the first man and missed him. Here
the dead mans deposition comes in,
taken just before death. He said he
told B. not to hit him because he had
nothing to defend himself with-not
to hit him because he would do him
no harm. At the time he was about
five steps ahead of the others, and
alone.
Brandborg struck at the man
again, and as he is a powerful man,
broke the rail over his head. He
says the s'rail" was about y inches
thick, but accounts differ. At all
events the man was knocked sense
less, and died. Anderson had been
in this country but short time, and
had just sent money for his wife and
three children to come to him from
the old country. He was % years
old. The young man had many
friends and they claim that but for
the high-handed manner of B. and
his knocking Timroth cold, "when
he had done nothing" there would
have been no trouble.
On the other hand B. says the men
followed him and threw stones and
sticks at him, and one struck him on
the head. Whether these were

The fine hand OF the old parties to
suppress the Alliance can very plain
ly be seen.
The latest move is to make farmers
believe that if they join the Alliance
they will not be able to sell their pro-
ducts, or at least, will have to sell
them at a disadvantage.
l sincerely hope that the Peoples
Party movement will take the coun
try, and will open the eyes Of those
who are too timid and afraid to Of
fend the aristocraey.
There are some who think it would
be policy to let all practical farmers

are always open with profit to the for
tunate man who is possessed with
ready money. This enables him to re-
alize not only great pecuniary profits
but a freedom from care and an enjoy
ment of life unknown to those whose
capital is all in land. The experience
of many well-to-do farmers who have
come here from other states is to this
effect. The yearly receipts from the
cultivation of a given number of acres
is as great as in Illinois or other states,
while but fraction of the capital is re-
quired to be invested in land. Itshould
be remembered, too, that this is not a
wild, uncultivated community, and
the comforts of civilized places in the
east. Though there are many uncu]ti.
waited tracts, there are also many fine
farms, well stocked and highly cultiva-
ted. Churches and schools are estab-
lished throughout the country. The
climate of this part OF South Dakota is
about the same as the central part Of
Iowa and northern. Illinois though less
rain and snow in winter. All things
considered, no more profitable and de-
sirable location can be found for the
farmer with limited means. Even if
he does not purchase, a trip to this sec
tion will be interesting and beneficial,
and a farmers vacation. which he
ought by all means tostake,. can not be
better spent than In such an excursion.

HOW to Keen rra..e at Home.

Luverne, Herald: a correspondent
who has probably been duped by a
travelling merchant writes to the
Mortified News as follows: If the
local merchants or grocers would let
the people know as much about the
price Of their goods through printers
ink as the travelling grocer and foreign
merchants do by flooding the country
with price lists, catalogues, etc, there
would not be SO many duped farmers
or complaining merchants. The adver-
tisers who put their goods and prices
before the people and keep them there
are the ones who sell the goods. They
may say when too late: 81 would have
duplicated that bill Of goods" but they
should have let the farmer who sent
away and bought advertised goods of a
foreign merchant know it before he
bought. That's the business of it.

It is not the boom editions of news
papers that attract attention, as the

pose for which they are issued, but it is
the every day local happenings and
crop reports and items of improve
ment which are found in the local col
umns of the county papers from week
to week that work silently though
surely for the benefit of the community
in which the paper is published.
Turner county wants the world at
large to know what is being done here

this Office the result of their labors as
the returns come from the threshing

"Ail the Conceivable coke region stood
today with bowed head and reverent
form, while sixty-three of the dead
miners taken from the mammoth shaft
were shrouded, cotiined and laid to
rest for their long sleep. The funeral
procession was one such as never
before known. The remains and
mourners were carried to st. John, the

long special train. Along the inhab-

citizens turned out. Over 5000 per-
sons were present as the bodies We're

Shortly after o'clock this afternoon
the funeral train pulled into Mani

were pressed into service To
haul the collins 70 the train. The labor
of loading the coffins on the train was
watched by large crowd Of spectators.
The train stood between two rows o.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 2S.-The. Farmers
Alliance convention resumed it's session
this morning, and began the revision of
the constitution. An amendment pro-
posed making all laboring men eligible
men to membership, provoked heated
debate, during the course Of which
President Powers said that such an
amendment would break up the organ
ization. He said: 1--WE want to carry
the next election, and if We extend the
qualifications beyond farmers the cities
will take advantage of this point. New
York City could send 81 900, 900 TO
Omaha to pay initiation fees, and IN a
few months designing politicians would
hire enough men TO Join the order 90
that Nebraska would be in the hands
of the ring. The same would be true
in other states. 1t would result in the
capture of the National Alliance body
and soul. This movement started
among farmers, and should be kept
there"
