Deputy Sheriff Warner has beon unable

through States Attorney Murray to bring back
the suspected horse thieves. Sharp and Will
llams, from South Dakota, where they are
located at present. Mr.. Murray claims that
there is no money in the state treasury which
can be used for that purpose. hence, although
the state has a fairly good case against the
supposed thieves, they can not he brought
back for trial. Other counties in the state So
cure the necessary requisition papers for the
return OF prisoners from other states-why can
not Steele county? Dickey county has secured
number Of such latoly without difficulty
Steele county should bs able to secure them
too.
H. A. Lucken, the proprietor of the Hope
Roller Mills, will begin suit shortly through
the Attorney General and the board Of Rail-
road Commissioners. against the Great North
ern railroad company to compel them TO haul
native coal to this point at the freight rates
fixed by tho legislature. This will be the first
case of this kind brought against the Company,
and The outcome will 10 watched with great
interest. The burning Of native coal, IL It

rates fixed by statute. Miller Lucken reckons
would save him from S1.OO to 81. so per day.
which would be big thing. Then if ths
company was compelled to bring it in at those
rates the coal would he extensively used by
farmers aud citizens of Hope. Let the good
work go on. ....
Nearly every farmer with whic!, we con-
verse these days signifies lis intention of SOW
ing his land to considerable extent to flax.
While flax has pretty nearly always proved a
profitable crop in Steele county, yet tho SOW
iHg OF too large an acreage of it any one sea-
son in our opinion would not be advisable.
The home market is all that can be relied up-
on for The sale Of this crop, and rs the moye
ment throughout the two Dakotas and parts
OF Minnesota is also to put in large acreage
in this crop, the supply will in all probability
bring down the price to considerable extent.
Flax is said, too, to lmpoverlsh land and to
promote tho growth Of weeds, so do not all
rush nto flax as a one.crop movement. Try
small acreage of that crop and other small
gratns-rye. barley, oats. etc. Also raise a
few potatoes and onons-they always pay.
-Mayville Tribune: G. Klgore, the alleged
detective. who will be remembered here ior his
brilliant maneuveEiug whereby Murphy was
allowed to escape, has again shown his utter
incapacity In tracing up case at Hope. Ac-
cording to the PIONEER he was called there TO
capture the culprits who were taking French
leave Of the coal in the Great Northern shute
at that place. He appeared Oh the scene in
regular dime novel style, that is to say '4ucog, !"
struck scent at once, and after little sxlr,n-
ishing in Willow Lake township had Willis
Gray arrested for the offense, and brought be-
fore Justice Pressly for preliminary examln-
alton. The result was that Mr.. Willis proved
concusively that he was Innocent Of the charge
and an honest man. also proving Kilgore a
first-class chump Of the long cared variety,
dangerous only to criminals when the7 get
