LISBON, N. D., Aug. 1S.-At the last
meeting of the Soldiers Home board
the city OF Lisbon offered the boald the
choice of two locations, which were re-
jected, and the board purchased the
farm Of Henry Cramer Of eighty acres.
This is without doubt one OF the finest
locations for the institution in the
state. There are twenty five acres of
large natural timber, and the land is
just rolling enough to insure perfect
drainage. The Sheyenne River bounds
the tract on the west. and it is only five
blocks from the Northern Pacific depot.
The c.ty proposes to grade and gravel
the streets leading to the site; also to
lay good and substantial sidewalk.
The selection of this site gives entire
satisfaction.
Every one is busy taking care of the
''bigg' st crop ever raised in Ransom
County" Even Colonel fuller, OF
"Owas co Farm" fame, has no time to

We wish to repeat that there are sew

Rather IliUb.Hnlialed.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 17.-Adjutant
General Mabry of Texas was decidedly
shocked by receiving letter from an
editor i'll one of the border counties
stating that Mexican governor had
offered reward for his he'd. The
writer, Catrine Ga1zia, is the son of one
of the wealthiest Spanish families in
Nueces County, and is the editor of a
paper at Alice. Tex. The paper is
printed in Spanish, and the particular
issue in question contains two-column
article denouncing one Reyes, who is
governor of one of the Mexican border
states This article contained a number
of ps rsonalities regarding Governor
Reyes, who became mortally enraged at
the editor, and issued proclamation
offering reward of 1000 for the cap
ture of Mr.. Garzia or his head. His
capture was not so easy as was thought,
and proceedings were then brought
against him in Texas. Warrants we're
issued for his appearance before the
authorities in Laredo. The deputy who
was to take him to Laredo learned that
an armed band of Mexicans were pre-
pairing to wreck the tram and kill Garzia
or carry him ossr the border. The
officer Immediately telegraphed Captain
Mcneil, who, with nine men. b oarded the
train at Alice and made the trip without
the officer and editor. Ga arriving at
Laredo they found fully 1.4OO armed
Mexicans waiting for the train. On
finding that their man was not aboard,
the mob quietly dispersed and nothing
serious happened. The Rangers and
Texas authorities are on duty, aud are
equal TO any emergency. The adjutant
general of Texas will have the matter
thoroughly investigated, and accord MIR.
Galzia all the pr, teclion due an Ameri
can citizen.

upon: In this case it appears that the

Corliss and Wallin hold that this fact
is fatal to the legality of the tax; that
the fact that the board of equalizati4n

the omission to meet at the time and

public is not chargeable with notice Of
