Young men. all members of the Salvation
Army. were returning last Tuesday night
from a meeting IN Larksyille to their

about two miles. On arriving at a lonely
turn in the road the party was suddenly
set upon bv six r%ufiians, who beat the
men accompanying Miss Hines unmer-
citully and drove them away from the
gIrl. Then they turned to her. but her
screams brought no aid. They gagged
her and threw her down. Her male com
paniOns attempted to return TO her res

sticks and endeavOred to reach ner, but
each time five OF the assailants drove
them away. Then the men decamped

taken by her friends and conveyed
to her boarding house in Luzerne.
but her nervous system had received
such q shock that she begged pit

physicians thought 1t best that her request
be complied with, and so she was brought

she was placed undeiI the sympathlziug
care OF Mrs. Haines, wife OF the taller.
She is still there and in a weak condition.

County Bills,

The bill of Sheriff Houde for $500,
which was allowed by the county
board, and an appeal taken by re-
quest of petitioners, was before the
district judge the first Of the week,
and certain stipulations made. AS
we understand it the county agrees
that all of the bill excepting 1857 is
correct and due, while Mr.. Houde's
attorneys admit possible question
on only $40. 1t is probable that a
trial will take place on the 1857 and
that no question will be raised on
the balance, about $3.50. The points
upon which the county expects to re-.
duce the bill are: LIST, that the officer
cannot charge both per diem and
mileage for the same services; End
that the officer could not collect pay
for presenting prisoners to the dis.
trict court and other similar services
while under regular pay as the officer
of the district court; Sd, that when
serving the jury panel he can collec,
mileage only for the distance "actu
ally and necessarily" Travelled. These
are all rather fine points, but on
them it is probable that the bill will
be somewhat reduced.
None of the other bills have vet
been brought before the court, and
Clerk Staples and the county com.
nissioners are still waiting for their
money.

Driving Notes.

| Robinson & Mead began their drive
on Hillman brook this week, taking
a large number of men from here.
There are about II zoo, 900 feet OF logs
to drive on that stream this season,
over 5000, 900 OF which are old logs
that were hung up last season. The
firm are employing about $50 men on
the drive The stream is in excellent
shape for handling the water and
logs, by reason Of the excellent
system OF dams that has been COM
pleted. A large amount of labor has
also been expended in removing oh
structions from the bed of the
stream.
The log drive on Nokasippi will
not be large one this year. Carl
Douglas banked some logs on Long
lake, and others hauled q few logs to
the stream further down.
Gray & Libby's Platte river drive
has just started, and they are to
bring out 5000, 900 feet, which is only
one-third the amount they had to
take ont last year to clean the river.
This is a ra Their late driven starting,
as the ice in the large lakes is slow in
breaking up.
George f. Barber, who has charge
OF the work for the Mississippi &
Rum River Boom company in this
section, started men to work running
logs through the dam here on Mon-
day. The officials OF the company es-
innate that at the opening OF the river
there were about l15,OO0,O0O feet OF
logs In the boom limits, that is, in
the Mississippi below Brainerd. OF
this amount about 100000 were
below Little Falls. The Minneapolis
mills will receive prompt and
abundant supply Of logs this season.

recent issue OF the Wahpeton Times:
"N. Fl. Harker came to the county

vatOr company, and had the reputa-
ton among the farmers of being
good man at the business, always
doing the right thing by them. In
$50 he handled farm machinery and
lumber at Wyndmere, which lasted
for three seasons, when he went into
farming and stock, now having some
800 acres under cultivation. Stock
production, however, recently not
having been as profitable as former
~, Mr.. Harker is dropping his stock
interests, and turning his attention
more particularly to horses. 1t is
his purpose to breed high grade of
driving horses in the future, he hav-
ing some fine specimens now.
HE has q handsome residence in
Wyndmere, and two large barns for
the accommodation OF his horses;
while his farming lands are near
town. Mr.. Harker says the day is
fast coming when North Dakota will
ship horses out OF the state instead
OF into it or, at least, produce what
ever is needed here"
"The Richardson Bro theirs, recently
Of Little Falls, Mimi, have located
at Wyndmere, and will do business
OF breeding horses. These gentlemen
understand the business, having been
brought up in it, and will undertake
to make a success OF the production
of horses on Dakota soil. They will
undoubtedly succeed. They have
good start now.

The assessors OF the county will
meet at the county auditors Office in
Little Falls on Saturday of this week
to receive their books and consult in
regard to valuations. Only personal
property is to be assessed this year,
and the work is not as i'm
portant as it otherwise would be.
The tendency to make low assess
ments will probably prevail as usual
though; each assessor fearing that
unless he makes a very low assess
ment his return will pay more than
it's share of taxes. After last years
good work by the equalizing board,
it is hoped that assessors will learn
to make more reasonable assess
ments.
