4 Beautiful Home.

GeorgcLaiond Saturday closed deal
with Col. Bridgman forthe purchase OF
the Iatter's handsome residence pro-
perty on Second street north, the
finest inside the city limits. Mr.. La
Fond bought it for his personal occu-
pancy and will take possession about
July l. The consideration is given
as about $4,000, of which $1,000 is
cash. Mr. La Fond is to be cOngrat-
ulated on securing such a beautiful
home but while offering him our con-
gratulatiOns we regret to learn that
Col. Bridgman and his estinable
wife will remove elsewhere. The Col
Oncl has disposed of practically all OF
his business interests in Little Falls
and decided to remove west In this
connection it is not amiss to express
to Col. Bridgman the appreciation
of the people of Little Falls regard
ing his attitude towards the Weyer-
haeuser syndicate bonus when they
first contemplated coming here. He
owned some valuable property
which they desired, and in the face
OF the fact that he knew he would
not remain here and had nothing to
gain by the securing OF the company
gave the land The matter rested
with him and he generously sacriced
his own interests to the good OF Lit.
tie Falls.
All honor to Col. Bridgman!

ever, is only one OF fifty similar loco
motives which the Works at punkirk
are manufacturing for the Great Nor

general use on the ST. Cloud and
Fergus Falls division. These engines
are Of the latest pattern. The one
received this morning weighs -, 900
pounds and is lighter than the mon
ster II wheelers, commonly called
''hOgs," which were put into service
last fall on this division. These con-
cOnsolidatOrs have : drivers with a
pony truck. The size of the cylinder
is 19X2O inches, as against 2ox4 and
20X2G on the "hOgS." The kind of en-
gine that was received to-day will be

across the Mississippi here. They

The st. Cloud correspondent OF
the Minneapolis Lumberman has the
following to offer:
Logs are running light from Little
Falls in consequence of the putting
on OF thirty to fifty men by the Pine
Tree Lumber company to pick out
the jam which has been there ScI cral
weeks. The Andersen mill has run
everyday steady during the high
water and has suffered neither
Inconvenience nor loss in any way
by it. The mill is saving for the
H. e. Akeley Lumber company and
it is understood that the Bridgman
mill is also to saw for them as soon
as the logs from the Little Falls jam
get fairly to running. The reports
in the daily papers about damage to

wholly false and no interested

"it was a picnic Saturday evening to
see Baggagelnan Pike and Night Ope-
rator James try to eat their mid
night lunch. The flying bugs and
mosquitoes were so thick that they
had to stretch screens over their

AS screens are usually Il yard wide,
we should Judge from the fact that
the screens had to be stretched that
the N. P. boys at Little Falls have
big holes in their faces.

Young, and it is thought that the

there is little question but that
Young has been foully dealt with.
He was in the habit of telling his
nearest neighbor when going away
anywhere of his intention and re-
questing him to keep watch OF the
premises, but he said nothing previous
to his disappearance of any such in
tentiOn. On the night when last seen
(in january he had been spending
the evening with this ncighbOr and
after he left they claim to have heard
the report of a gun and to have found
blood spots Oh the snow. y rifle

are gone and everything points to
his having been murdered. He lived
on Il homestead which he had not
proved up upon and his estate will
