confinement had told severely on us,
and the men could not but yield to its
depressing influence. There was little
to vary the dreary monotony that made
each day the repetition of the day be-.
fore and the type of tho day to follow.
This alone would have been sufficient,
but when scant food and cold were
thrown into the scale it is little wonder
that both mind and body should yield
under tho constant strain. Many of us
were far into the second winter of oui
confinement, and with all hope Of re,

wait for the end, whatever that end
might be; and it Was weary waiting.

Died From His Injuries,

Henry Wall, Russian laborer aged
36 years, was injured at the Albright
farm last Wednesday by falling derrick
and was brought to Jamestown for treat
ment. His injuries proved of such
serious character, that in spite of excel
lent surgical care, the unfortunate man
died last night He was at the Northern
Pacific house and being without money
or friends was assisted by the the county.
Deceased had on his person photographs
supposed to he of a brother and sister.
He also hau in bis possession deed for
eighty acres of land near Parker, Turner
county, South Dakota. The land is
located in Sec. IL, township 100, range
IA. Mr.. Wall was working with tie
Sharlow we'll boring outfit at the time of
the accident. As far as known he was
a man of steady habits, and probably
came into North Dakota for work having
found farming Improbable, in Turner
county. Commissioner j. j. Eddy has
written to the postmaster at Parker, an
account Of the accident and death, with
a request to notify relatives or friends, If
any can be found There was nothing
in his papers or on his person to furnish
any information of this character. The
body was buried today in the Highland
Home cemetery.

AP. O. Appointment.

Valley City's postofice fight has been
settled at last, by the appointment of
Peder J. Peterson, the Scandinavian
candidate. The history of this bit of
patronage has been long and compli-
Gated one, and involved about all the
local factions in Valley City and Barnes
county. Senator Casey endorsed Mr..
Mcdonald, one OF the first candidates
for the position, and continued to urge
his appointment until Mcdonald with
drew from the field. This withdrawal
ls said to have been brought about by
the discovery that State Senator Wleser
had become a candidate himself, when
both Peterson and Mcdonald had, un-
known to each, other, been relying on
Wieser for bis assistance in their individ-
ual cases. After learning of this, Nc
Donald pulled out Of the fight, and he
and friends united with Mr.. Peterson
and friends, as against Wieser. At this
stage Senator Casey endorsed Peterson,
and it is presumed that Congressman
johnson did the same. Senator Hans
brough recommended Wieser. In the
meantime the democratic postmaster,
whose term expired last August, has
been serenely watching the rumpus and
drawing his salary.

An Important Land Case.


Considerable interest is being taken in
the land SUIT of Albert H. Glaspell
against the Northern Pacific railroad. A
jury was empanelled for the case Thurs
day, in the United States court now in
session. E. W. Camp. Of jamestown,
opened the case for the plaintiff, stating
that they would prove that the 2,24O
acres of land was purchased by the plain
tiff upon the representations of the de.
fendent's duly authorized agents that it
was good farming land, instead Of that it
was worthless, being billy, stony and full
OF water holes. John 8. Bullett, Of st.
Paul stated that railroad company would
prove that their agents made no such
representations as alleged, that the land
was not sold to Albert Glaspell but to
other parties, Of whom be had bought,
and that in any case the agents were ex-
preesly forbidden by the road to make
any representations as to the quality of
the land which they sold.
The plaintiff first Offered the deeds for
the land in evidence and they were ad.
mitted, the objection of the defense be-
ing overruled.
Dispositions taken at Sykeston on May
Is, 1891, as to the quality of the land

Bled to Death.

Mrs. Chas. Stuff, wife of one the thrift
ty German farmers of the county, resid-
ing about four miles east OF Spirltwood
lake died very suddenly last Saturday
afternoon. She was engaged in white
washing room in the farm house, when
without any warning she suddenly fell to
the floor and, it is reported, bled to
death in about fifteen minutes from
the rupture of blood vessel. The
lady had been IN good health
previously and the sudden and fatal
hemorrhage can hardly be accounted for
by her family. She was buried at High
land home cemetery this afternoon, fun
eral services being held at the German
Methodist church. The body was fol-
lowed to the grave by many neighbors
and friends of the deceased. Mrs. Stuff
left q family Of four or five children.

Can They Beat it in the East?

Dawson Standard: w. NJ. Little, who
came here in the spring of - and farmed
with yoke of oxen, turning over so or
GO acres OF virgin sod, affords an example
of what energy and pluck can accomplish.
Since that time he has been steadily &C.
cummulating stock and implements, un-
til this season he has sown to various
crops about 200 acres-all with his own
teams and implements. Can our eastern
readers. who are struggling along on 40,
50 and 100 acre farms comprehend what
this nine years accumulation Of proper
ty means? 1t means, with a fair yield
this year, 24,oO0 bushels of wheat. which
at 20 cents a bushel, means, s16,SO0
which would buy, for the present only,
a little garden patch OF 1880 acres, and
leave upwards Of $4,000 to stock it With.
This IS not an extravagant claim, but
wholly within the range OF possibility.

"This looks like harsh way to treat SO
tender an organ," said he, "but it is en-
tirely safe. Turning back the eyeid,
the speck only needs to be touched by
some dry substance-in this case the
match-to adhere to it. We have to help
one another so dozen times day."
"But why not wait until stopping?' I
inquired. ''Too busy then. Besides,
there is no need. 1t is as easy on train

A Timely Suggestion.

An Alert correspondent asks pertin-
ent question about prairie fire protection
for next fall. The last legislature passed
a law which gives county commissioners
authority to provide tools and appli-
ances to make fire breaks, and to prevent
the spread OF fires. To establish fire
districts, and appoint fire wardens The
commissioners are authorized to spend
$1,000, il necessary, from the road and
bridge fund for constructing fire guards.
The railroad companies in the state are
also required to burn grass and weeds off
