TWO HOTELS NEEDED.

AGROWING NUISANCE.
A Merchant Objects to Cheap Johns

To the Editor of the Sentinel
l desire to speak of a growing nui-
sance: and | might say evil which is
established in our midst and which is
doing both town and country people
harm, and which, ain my opinion,
should be abated. The nuisance
| refer to, is the loud-mouthed
and arrogant hard-faced man who
stands upon his counter next door to
the postoffice calling himself Cheap
accompaniment to Staler goods.
There is hardly night when his
store is not overfiowing with the far
mefS who visit our town until the
sidewalk in front of his place is so
much crowded that pedestrians are
unable to pass.
Now this is not as it should be, for
the following reasons: 1st, His

munity.

are auction-goods or maybe stolen,

foist them upon the poor, ignorant
farmer at prices far below the prices
charged by legitimate merchants

times. Now, the decent merchants

Last night about 10 o'clock, on the

a caboose attached, were coming to-
wards Fargo and were running at

to encounter, and when about two

the track, which caused the derail-
ment also of the cabooSe. Conductor
w. ]. Crawford was in charge and
Conductor VIM. J. Quinlan was acting
in the capacity of brakeman together
with Tom Smith. Smith was in the
cupola at the time of the derailment,
while Crawford and Quinlan were
down stairs. At the place where the
cabOOSe left the track was large Gull
vert. and the caboOSe was precipitated
end first to the bottom of the culyert,
hurting Crawford and Quinlan, togeth-
er with a red-hot stove, into the end
of the car where they were pinned, the
hot Goals were scattered promiscuous-
~ over the whole. The canOose was
soon enveloped in flames and the I'M
fortunate men were literally roasted
alive before assistance could possibly
arrive"
