District Court.

court opened yesterday, regular
October term, with Judge G. L.
Brown on the bench. There are
Twenty-Five civil cases and one Grim
mai case on the calendar. Yesterday
was taken up in reading the calendar
and disposing Of cases for trial. The
case of the Winona Manufacturing
Company VS.. Daniel McLane was
settled satisfactory to both parties.
Emil Michalsheck VS.. Asa Mumblow,
was dismissed.
This morning the first case called
was G. W. Edmonds VS.. Geo. FL.
Munro, as sheriff, ETC., with w. c..
Bicknell for plaintiff and S. A. Flah-
erty for defendant, and is now on
trial.
Among the attorneys were noticed
j. c. Michael anu Mr.. Rutherford of
St.Paul and Tim Byrnes of Minneap-
oils.
The calendar is somewhat lengthy
this term and it is expected that a
good many cas- es will be continued.
The grand jury is still in session as
we go to press and will not report
before tomorrow.

The Oriole Opera company failed
to appear last Saturday evening as
per agreement. The reason for their
not appearing was through kindness
(?) of j. j. Hills monopolistic powers,
who refused to grant them reduced
rates, and as it would cost them more
to transport their company over his
road they would make here, they con-
cluded to cancel the engagement and
go over another road to Fargo. That
is what it is to have such an accom-
modating road as that running
through the town. It does more in
jury to town than good, and we
would be better off without them.

DR.. F. A. Hoyt of St,Cloud, the
popular dentist, lost his celebrated
trotting horse, "Try Me- at John
Burns, Kandiyohi, last Wednesday.
The horse had beaten everything at
Morris, having clipped a straight
mile in 2;28. Sunday he was taken
i'll at Kandiyohi near the O'Brien
farm and was driven to the Burns
farm where the best of veterinary
skill was obtained from Willmar and
ST. Cloud. The horse died of inaa-
nation Wednesday, and it appears
that dope given by some envious
person is what caused his death.

A good deal of complaint is heard
among the farmers in regard to the
scarcity of threshing outfits. There
are not enough machines in this sec
ton of the country to do all the
threshlng, and there will be more
than one farmer whose grain will
remain in the stack until after the
snow flies.
One of the thriving little burroughs
of Stevens county is the village of
Chokio. In the past few months it
has made some very substantial and
permanent steps towards the front,
and before long, if the same progress
is kept up, it will be ranked as sec
ond place in the county. Last Thurs
day new telegraph Office was opened
up and a depot with an agent sta
toned there. A new store is also do
ing business there in large building
built for its own use. And last, but
not least, comes the new barber shop
started by E. G.. See, with Frank
Carney in charge. There is an enor-
nous amount Of grain handled in this
little village; an amount that would
be credit to town thrice it's size.
We are glad to see the little town
making such advancement. Let the
good work go on. The town must
have some energetic business men;
men of push.

BURGLAR IN A BOX.
New Thing In sIouscbreaksng and One
That Requires Nerve.


That Requires Nerve.
There is an amusing story told about
burglar in box. According to
presumably veracious narrator in the
London Telegraph, two detectives who
were on duty one evening in the Rue
Saint Martin heard man address a
large box whichhe was wheeling be-
fore him on a cart as if it were hui
man being. The detectives may, or
may not. have thought of the story of
the wooden horse, but, ut all events,
they listened attentively, and distinctly
heard the words: Don't stir, old man!
III take you round by the shortest
cut" The porter was followed Mt once
by the plnin-clothes men. The cart
containing the box was wheeled into
large business premises in the Rue dc
Body and delivered over to clerk, the
porter observing that he would call for
it in the morning and take it away to
another destination.
The clerk objected to receiving the
article, as he had no notice of its COM
ing, but he was prevailed upon to let it
remain in the place. The detectives
entered soon after, and, having mem
tloucu lAcH suspicious W tue Clerk. IL
was arranged that they should hide on
the premises and await events.
On the stroke of midnight the lid Of
the box was observed rising gently,
and out came a man, who walked to-
wards q money safe, opened it with the
aid Of tools which he had in his posses
sion and, after having annexed ssap-
ply Of gold and bank-notes, returned
to his original hiding place. The de-
tectives waited until the morning,
which brought the porter, who was
arrested, and the box with the safe
breaker in it was conveyed to the
office of the Surete. There the thief,
overcome with surprise, was despoiled
Of his booty, amounting to about eighty
pounds, and was quickly dispatched TO
the depot
