of this city. and Robert Gedney, of Phila-
delphia, went to the top of tho Great North
ern hotel. sixteen-story building, for the
purpose OF looking over tho city. they
stood for some time looking about and then
Gcdney gave strange laugh and grabbing
Doyle began to pull him about as If the
cool breeze had exhilerated him to playful
ness. Then he said: Hold my hands, I
want to look down." Doyle did SO and after
Gedney recovered himself he approached
Doyle with baneful light in his eyes and
a strange earnestness in his voice, contrast
ing unpleasantly with his recent playful
ness. and said: You've got to jump off
the building or l will throw you off >"
With fearful reality it came to Doyle 3
memory that Gedney, several years ago.
was treated for a mild form of insanity
Ills hrst impulse, as sickeninR realization
of tho situation came over him, was to cnll
for help. But he saw it was useless ana
tried to temporize. treating the matter as
joke.
"Will you jump2" Aercely screamed Ged-
ney. and without waiting for reply he
seized Doyle and began dragging him
toward the edge. Doyle fought with the
desperation of despair and the men stag
gered to and fro over the roof. Robert
Haslam who has an office in the upper
story OF the Monadock building across the
street. saw the men struggling and watched
them, thinking it was only sport. He soon
saw, however. it was struggle for life and
death, and hurrying down rushed to the
hotel and informed Eden. the proprietor.
Accompanied by porter the three
men started for the roof. On
the stairs leading to the turret thev
encountered Doyle, bareheaded. with his
clothes torn from his back. He was very
weak. excited, and in fainting condition.
dedney was walking calmly around the
roof when Eden put his head out of the
scuttle. and pleasantly invited that GENTLE
man to come out and see the city, but Eden
declined. and finally succeeded in getting
Gedney to come down for the purpose OF
taking drink. He WAS put into q room
and when asked why he attempted to throw
Doyle OF seemed surprised. but laughed
and said it was only joke. Nevertheless
he was locked up and his father telegraphed
for.
When Doyle was able to talk he gave
graphic account of his fearful fight for life,
and it was learned that he only escaped by
strategy. After the struggle had progressed
some time. feeling his strength almost
gone, no suddenly called to Gedney to stop
and he would jump of, stipulating, how
ever. that IN ne must have few moments for
prayer" dc stepped back and knelt down
while Gedney reverently bent his head.
Doyle watched him through his half closed
eyes and suddenly da1ted for the scuttle
and went through IL like a flash into the
arms OF his Would-be rescurers.

last Friday. .-...---- -.---,.-- .--....----
We hear it rumored that the musical
talent Of this city will organize all
orchestra this winter.
There were chattle mortgage sales
galore at the front door of the court
house last Saturday afternoon.
A buck deer brought into town last
week by a Turtle Mountain half-breed
furnished a toothsome morsel Of veni-
son for the table of several Langdon-
ties.
Next week we hope to resume giving
our readers the usual big dose of news.
During the past two weeks this has
been impossible owing to the presence
of the tax list.
Now that winter is coming on apace
why not resnscitate that literary society
out of it's state Of innocuous desuetude.
If properly looked after quite number
of pleasant and helpful evenin gs might
be rnjoyed in this manner.
Mondays mail brought us a s'hold
your wheat" circular which gives it out
cold that by January 1st, 1894, our
wheat will be worth 80 cents a bushel.
We pray without ceasing that the
fellow amt talking through his hat.
The lecture and entertainment an
nounced for two nights next week by
ProfLouis Favour, on the subject of
Electricity has been unavoidably
postponed owing to the professor be-
ing unable to fill his North Dakota
engagement until next spring.
About thirty members of the local
Masonic organization, and some fifteen
members Of Langdon's state militia
company, we're in attendance at the
funeral Of their late brother and COM
rade Peter Mclean, at Tyner, last Sat-
urday afternoon. From those present
we learn that the procession was near
ly mile in length and that fully
seventy-ive Masons were present
almost every lodge i'll Walsh, Pemblna
and Cavalier counties being represent
ed. Such universal mark of respect
must have been very comforting to the
afflicted family.
Langdon will have a fair share of
attraction Thanksgiving night and
there is no reason on earth why every
one of our citizens should not thorough
" enjoy themselves. The ladies of the
Presbyterian church will give their
annual Thanksgiving dinner at six
O'Clock to be followed by a select liter
airy and musical program. The ladies
are noted for the delicacies that they
spread before their friends on the
annual event, and the hospitable wei.
