A terrific hall-storm, with heavy
wind, last Saturday, passed through
portion of Eddy. Barnes, Sargent and La
Moure counties. In Barnes county a
woman by the name Of Anderson was
killed by hail-stones, and the stones were
so large as to damage buildings and farm
machinery.
A peculiar case of insanity was brought
in St. Paul by the deputy sheriff. when
he reported the arrest Of Johanna Lind
berg, a woman 45 years old who has
lived in this city for some time with her
husband and three little children. The
cause of her insanity is excessive coffee
drinking.-Ex.

has arrived at the pen to serve sentence
of three years at hard labor for the crime
of seduction. His victim was girl of
II. This was Judge Sauter's first pen
ltcntiarY sentence and was happily
placed. The judge of the new district
is winning great praise.
In Hall township, Sargent county,
over 1000 acres of grain were totally
destroyed and several head of colts and
calves killed by hail. the stones were
jagged and half as large as man hand.
The storm was acc ompanied by terrific
wind, and early-sown grain outside the
path of the hail was badly lodged.

Fargo Argus: The county newspaper
ought to have the first dollar that the
subscriber receives. Nothing serves the
community as faithfully and as per-
sistently as the county newspaper. Pay
the publisher the trlfle that he charges
you for his lnestimable services, and he
will use it to do you more good. After
the county newspaper there is The Argus
but The Argus has unlimited con-
fidence in people that looks after its
home newspaper.
The game law protects prairie chickens
and ducks until August 20. Let's all
join together this year in waiting until
the proper date. If we wish to have the
prairie birds furnish US with sport and
food in the years to come, we must Let
them alone until they are sufficiently
grown to stand some show with the
hunter. The law provides severe punish
ment for its infraction, and game war
dens are provided for in every county.
The Record does not know who the
wardens are in this county, but we hope
that they will see that the law is strictly
enforced. They can afford to take the
time to do so, as provision is made for
their payment when violators are round
ed up. The new codes have provisions
that will tend to keep out the hordes of
nonresident hunters, but they will not
be effective this year. 1t rests entirely
with ourselves whether the prairie chick
ems continue fixture with rs.
For years the Record has been fur
nished week after week to subscribers
and, knowing that in recent years times
have been hard and money close, very
little effort has been made to collect
subscriptions. In fact, during the past
year or two scarcely enough has been
taken in from this source to pay for
ready prints. But there is a good crop
in the county this year, and we are con.
vinced that those subscribers who do not
pay up this fall will not pay at all.
Therefore, after the threshing Is done, we
intend to discontinue the paper to those
who do not pay at least q part Of what
they owe. In few weeks we will send
out statements of account, and earnestly
request that those who owe US will make
arrangements to pay up. We have
furnished the paper right along, week in
and week out and we feel that we arc
entitled to get our money for our work. :
just as any other man expects to he paid
for work done or goods furnished.
Do our readers generally know that the
common black currant found along the
streams in the county will, if trans
planted to cultivated ground and mulched,
yield twice as heavily as in its native
habitat and produce fruit twice as large ?
At the Record ranch there are some fifty
black-currant bushes that were set out
four years ago and mulched with six
inches of flax straw and manure. They
have yielded we'll each year. They are
Row ripening at least two bushels of
fruit-a good part of it as large as goose
berries. They lack the "bedbuggy'
flavor of tame black currants 1.-TWO bushes
of which are growing IN the same
garden with the wild ones) and, for
making into jelly, the lady who puts 'em
up says there is no other small fruit in
these parts that is their equal. Goose
berries, red and black currants and wild
plums are sure and prolific crop here
if mulched. They yield we'll with Or
dlnary cultivation; but they yield i'm
mensely when properly mulched. A lady
who has lived near Williamsport for
twelve years and has often seen the black
