VIM. Beard, the Emmons county
patient, whose skull was broken by a
falling rock, and whose injuries we're
sufficient to kill the ordinary man, has
80 far improved as to be up, and walk
about, and his recovery is but a matter
of days. Beard was able to come down
town a short distance to-day, and is in
good condition. The mans recovery is
a wonderful one, and with the exception
of the disagreement caused by the
crushing of the frontal bone, will be
complete.
Auditor Edick: The s29,450, 10 per
cent. court house bonds have been dis
posed of, $9,450 of the principal has been
paid, and the balance of $4,000 has been
refunded at 6 per cent. This deal makes
a saving of about $1,750 per year IN in
terest, besides cutting down the prinoi-
pal, and the county commissioners have
cut the tax levy down from $4,000 to
100000, which will make the taxes for
the ensuing year a good deal less than
they have been for many years. A few
more deals like this and this county will
begin to see it's way out from under the
heavy load of it's bonded indebtedness.
Jamestown Alert: Preparations for
the reception of Governor Shortridge
and party at Spiritwood lake next week
we're begun to-day, Major Lowell leaving
for the lake with tents, bedding, cooking
utensils, and a party of workmen. It is
intended to erect a number of tents, en-
closing all with a fence, and making as
comfortable a colony rs is imaginable.
The attendants and some of the patients
will also be given a twenty-four hours
outing at the lake at the same time, as
opportunity will permit. The steamer,
Zulu" named in honor of the daughter
of the governor, will be transported to
the lake Monday, for the use of the
party.

An Odd Traveller.
The Jamestown Alert gives an account
of the travels of Joe burlington, a Grip
pie from his boyhood, who stopped in
that city yesterday, to make necessary
repairs to his buggy, while en- route
from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Lincoln,
Neb. His mode Of conveyance is a
small, four-wheeled buggy, drawn by a
pony weighing about 700 pounds, half
Indian and half mustang. The buggy
is a strongly constructed vehicle; it's
wheels about three feet in diameter, and
the box standing about two feet from the
ground. The original cost of the vehicle
was 1925. Since leaving Salt Lake City,
about two months ago, burlington has
visited Butte, Helena, Great Falls, Fort
Buford and Leeds, the course of the
Missouri being followed through the
state of Montana. From jamestown he
caves for Yankton, intending to make
Lincoln in about fifteen days time. The
pony is about five years old, strong and
wiry, unshod and travels daily about
thirty-fve miles. When 4 years old Cur
rington says he received a fall, breaking
n of his legs; four years later he re-
ceived another accident during which
both limbs were broken, leaving him a
helpless cripple for life.
Last year he took a similar trip to the
one now nearly completed, in which he
went from Salt Lake city to and through
Texas, returning by another route, which
led him around and through California.
He is % years old, dwarfed and pinched
by disease, with the trunk of a l4-year-
old boy, and his lower extremities mis-.
shapen, twisted and gnarled into helpless
members of locomotion. His sombrero,
a heavy light.colored felt hat, is sur
rounded by a heavy chain band IN genu.
inc western style.
A Little Blaze,
An alarm of fire at 10 o'clock Sun
day night called out the department, and
the barn of John D. Mack was discovered
to be in flames. The fire boys had to
lay a long line of hose to reach the
blaze, and the fire had attained such
Roadway in the meantime that the saving
of the barn was impossible, and it was a
total loss. The residence was scorched
somewhat, and some of the furniture in
jured in it's removal from the house, dur
ing the danger. The barn was insured
for 5000, and the house and furniture for
$3.50 in the DePuy agency.
