Death In AZ Well.

Out ut Frank Westmiller's place at Tur-
tie Lake fatal mishap occurred about &
o'clock Tuesday morning that cost Eugene
NJ. Tenant, his life. Young Tennent has
been employed all spring by William
Randall, the we'll boring contractor, and
they had been uniformly successful IN
their work. At Westmillers they were,!ig-
ging we'll, and at depth of abont sew
enty feet they encountered al obstruction
and Tenant was let down to remove it.
On being lowered down the fatal mistake
was made of slipping the lowering rope
around his ankle and keeping it
there, t;nstead Of having it around and
under his .armpits. He reached the bot
tom all right, but poisonous gas manifest
ing iteelf he yelledmp II don't think I
can stand it here long" Mr.. Randall then
answered, "may bel had better haul you
up?" II think you had" Tenant replied,
slowly, and then Immediately added quick
lv, ''Yes, pnll me up! - which MIR. Randall

it would seem he became lymp and uncon-
scious, and fell back in such way that
when up twonty feet, the rope twisted off
of his ankle, and he was left wedged in
the we'll. Mr.. ,feetmlller and his son
were now OH hand and with united efforts
andta good bit of trouble, and only after
an hours ceaseless effort Moose was fas-
tened around his neck and he was pulled
to the top in this way. When brought
to the surface, his heart was slowly beat
ing, showing that life was not yet extinct,
though it soon thereafter osassd.
Word was at once. sent to acting >coron-
or Bartells, who came,on at once and i'm
.panalled a jury with verdict in line with
the above. The remains were brought
over to Mr.. Randall's residence near Wash
burn, and coffin procured and prepara-
.fins made for his burial the day follow
ing in the Washburn cemetrY, which was
done. The corpse was neatly clothed and
garlands of fiowors placed upon his breast
by sympathetic ladies, and at the
hour of II a. m. last look was taken by
friends at the face of the dead, the lid
closed and the cortage moved to the Gem
etry where few appropriate remarks was
spoken BY Judge Bartells, when the re.
mains were consigned to the earth.
MIR. Tennant was quiet and exemplary
young man, and had been in this county
about six months; coming from LaMoure
county, where he has relatives liv-
ing He was an only son of widowed
mother, who resides In Columbus, Wiscou-
sim and it will be very sad news for her
when she learns what fateful Fourth of
July, 1894. had in store for her only boy.

p. II Burton the Douglas creekSranch-
man, met with bad mishep, Tuesday
morning, on his return from Bismafck.
He was riding leasurely along op the
river road, and when opposite the old
Mandan village at the head of Burnt
creek, his horse suddenly fell, pitching
Mr.. kBurton head formost on the hard
gravel, and it is believed broke his cellar
bone. In the sudden fall the horse broke
his neck and died instantly.
AL Stimson, Of this town. returned
Thursday from a three weeks trip among
the stock ranges of the Little Missouri
country where he had been looking for
some stock. Though finding his animals,
he Expressed it as almost like looking for
"leedle in hay stack" so many miles
of grassy plains. and so many scattering,
bunches of horses and cutsle !grazing all
;arounH. Mr.. Stimson says they have had
plenty of rain over that way and the high
prarios are still nice and green. The
wolves are very bad on young stock, and
around the Kill Deer mountains, fully half
of the increase has been destroyed by these
'terrors of the stock ranges.

Working his Passage.

jay Gould once told a story about
an Irishman. 1T was when there were
packet boats on the Erie canal. The
lrishrnan offered to work his passa, q
to buffalo, and they set him leading
the horses that towsd the boat. He
worked faithfully for two days, doing
a great deal of thinking. On the third
day he thought it out. "Ey the pow.
ers.' he said, II ,noight as we'll walk
as work me passage" And walk he
did, without even thanking his cm,
ployers.
