%venience arising from the loss will be
great.
The losses OF the Alliance Hail asso-
citation up to and including the great
storm of the Goth ult, were about &C, 900.
Since then the company has recaived
over $50 notices of loss, mostly from tn 9
storm of the 18th inst. in Pembina, Cav.
alier and Walsh counties with scattering
losses in Stark, Barnes, Steel, Traill,
Rlchland, Sargent and Rarsom counties
which may make the grand total of
losses this year man thousand dollars
in addition to the above figures. This
year has proven the most destructive of
any year since the organization of the
company.
The recent boiler explosion near Fargo
was a terrific one, the boiler head was
blown over 800 feet from the scene of
the disaster, the cylinder and cylinder
box with a piece of casting attached,
weighing in the neighborhood of 1000
pounds, was thrown $50 feet, and lay
half embedded in the loose soil of the
field. Fragments Of the wreck lay on all
sides, but the force of the explosion was
north and west-as parts of the boiler
were 140 rods to the west. Where the
engine stood there was only the under
section of boiler and four or five hues to
show where she had stood.
The Plaincealer says investigation re-
veals the fact that more divorces are
granted in Grand Forks courts during
the year than the average posted person
would suppose. The outsider coming
there for divorce rarely boards at the
hotel, but seeks a private boarding place,
hires an attorney who looks after the
case quietly, and with little Of the bass
drum tactics, the regular proceedings are
gone through with, and in case of no
contest, and on just grounds the decree
is granted. One attorney in the city en-
joys a very paying business in this line.
The greater part of the recent arrivals
in the city who come on this errand are
ladies'. l
kilograms received at Fargo report
that Thomas D. Wright, alias W. w.
Hinkley, formerly telegraph editor of
the Republican is in trouble. Wright
was born in Waterloo, Iowa, and has
had a varied newspaper experience in
the different parts of the northwest. He
deserted a wife and five little children
three years ago, after sending them on
a visit to relatives at West Superior. It
is said that he is living now with a wo-
man whom he is alleged to have married
in Duluth two years ago. He is now at
Great Falls, Mont, under his true name,
and it is said will be arrestedon a charge
of bigamy by a detective in the employ
of his former wife. .
A dispatch from Superior revives the
old Duluth and Dakota railroad project.
The new road is seeking terminals at
either Superior or Duluth, and the line
will lap North Dakota at Portland, New
Rockford and other places west to the
Missouri river if built. It is claimed by
the party who represents the capitalists
that work will be commenced within
thirty days after the organization Of the
company, and that the company will be
organized within ninety days after ter

Within three years 500 miles of road will
be built if the company meets with rea.

Farmer Whitmer, who lives IL miles
northwest of Mandan, nearly bnrned uI
his crop Saturday, the fire catching from
an cause. His hired mar
was hauling hay, and the rack over one
of the wheels sayged enough to drop tc
the tire. It scraped but as it was dowr
hill to the ranch, the man thought nc
particular harm would be done by keep
ing on, as it would be some little trouble
to throw off the hay and fix the rack
He went on, but when about opposite the
wheat stacks the load of hay caught fire
from the friction between the rack anc
the wheel. The hay and wagon were
burned; the horses we're liberated, and
by good work, the wheat stacks we're pre-
vented from joining in the blaze.
