}. F. Broadway of Adrian, LaMoure
county, was IN the city yesterday on his
way to Fargo. Everyone, he said, was
ready to 90 to work on the land as soon
as the weather would permit. Very little
seeding he reported as done yet. He
believed that the acreage seeded would
be about the same as last year or a little
less-not more. Last year he commenced
seeding on the q INST, but the land then
was dryer than at present. The farmers
10 that portion of LaMoure county he
considered as little better prepared
than last year in respect 70 the quantity
of land ready for crop. Stock losses
were small during the late storm.
Ex Senator Casey states that if favor
able weather permits, they will SOW
1000 acres, mostly wheat, this sprlng.
Preparations are made for getting in
fully that much seed, but in any event
as much ground as can be seeded with
safety will be cultivated. Mr.. Casey
thinks that the crop will be profitable
one. notwithstanding the present low
price, provided the grain natures INTO
good sound wheat. On the Darlington
Il Casey farms, seeding later than the
10Th of May, is not regarded with any
degree OF favor, owing to dangers from
frost. This opinion is entertained by
Mr.. Casey after years of careful observa-
ton OF frost effects in his locality
A. NJ. Clough, chief of fire department.
says: l have taken good deal OF interest
IN the fire department to make it what it
is, and spend considerable time keeping
everything in its place, going to the de-
partment every day, replacing on hose
carts, nozzles. wrenches, and also on hook
| and ladder trucks such things as ladders,
bell rope and pike poles. 1t should be
the duty of every one to help keep every
thing in readiness, but 1t seems there are
some citizens who don't care. They take
! what they wish, returning It whenever
they choose, ana forget to return what
they have now, as there Is missing from
the department rubber coat ana pair OF
rubber boots. hope they viii be re
turned without delay; also that no one
will take anything from the department
without permission.
Residents on First avenue beheld a
cruel outrage this morning. A wagon
belonging to a coal firm, drawn by
sorrel. white faced, team became stuck
in the mud. Repeated efforts on the
part OF the team failed to move the
wagon. Taking stick from his load
the driver proceeded numerically to
beat one of the horses. Tiring of this
method Of procedure he varied the exer-
clses by kicking the team for some time
and pounding one of them in the face
and neck with shovel. One of the
animals was repeatedly thrown down in
it's attempts to get away from it's tor
mentor. Five ladies who had witnessed
the proceedings went out IN the snow
and mud and after begging and plead
ing with the driver induced him to
throw of part Of the wood after which
the team pulled the load out easily The
ladies are highly indignant over the
cruelty and declare the law against such
should be enforced in cases Of THE kind
