The court house yard looks very
pretty with it's handsome coat of
green, thickly decked with clover
blossoms, and il one looks close he
will find hundreds of honey bees fit
ting about and. working away as if
their lives depended upon that days
work. MIR. Chezick to the north has
bees; or if they belong to Mr.. Aspin-
wall, they are of course obliged to fly
over the town, to get back and forth.
Harry Niles, living some half a
dozen miles south of Breckenridge,
on the Minnesota side of the Bois
des Sioux, and having rented his
farm. has been working at carpenter
ing the present summer, and while at
work on the new Great Northern
depot, Tuesday of this week, had the
misfortune to fall with scatfolding

places. and breaking three ribs and
sustaining Il frightful cut npon his
forehead and interal injuries, is lying
at the Wahpeton hotel in a aprecarous
condition. Mr.. Niles is severely
though not necessarily fatally hurt.
DR.. Quick was called and says the
patient is standing the ordeal very

age, passed through the civil war aud
and is Il pioneer in this section of
the country 1t is hoped by his
many friends that he may soon
recover.
We unintcntionally ommitted to
mention the death of Alfred Nor.
de- farmer near Breckenridge, last
ween. Mr.. Nordeck is the man who
II few months since purchased Frank
IIoppy's farm, a mile or two northeast
of above named place, and on the
occasion of his death had been in
breckenridge and. having drank
more than he should. started home
and was thrown out of his wagon
when driving off of the north end of
the bridge over the Ottertail river;
the approach to and from the bridge
being quite steep and ut the same
time turning Il sharp angle. The
horses, bronchos, trotted down and
deceased sitting in the outer end of
the seat upon a light gon-former
fastened on by means of two pegs ut
either end reaching into the upper
edges of the wagon box. respectively.
came Off in the sudden turn, precipi-
tating the driver and seat to the
ground; and from injuries received,
occurred the death in few hours.
In the light of controversy over the
misfortune, we understand that Mr.
Nordeck was by no means help
lessly drunk. He seems to have
united his horses and gotten into the
wagon unaiied well enough, when
he started home. and lost his life on
account of the seat leaving the wagon
on sharp turn in the road. 1t is
possible that had deceased been per-
fectly sober he might not have lost
his life-he might possibly have bet
ter controlled his horses. And as
for the story that some official of
Richland county piled him with
liquor to drive a rascally bargain,
we believe to be all bosh.
