Donald Miller Falls Victim to the carelessness
ofa Fellow Hunter.
Donald Nn'er, n well known German
American resident OF Crystal Falls, was
shot and almost instantly killed by the !
accidental discharge q, rifle in the |
hands OF Roy Letch at four O'Clock on
Wednesday afternoon. The accident oc-

miles from Sagola, in Dickinson county.
AT the time OF the shooting, Roy
Letch, Miller and five other compan-
ions-John Cameron, Joe Thomas, +.
camp. The party were preparing for
the evening hgt Letch stood in the
middle OF the room, putting shells in the
magazine OF his rifle. lie filed the ma
gazine and having one extra shell, plac-
ed it in the barrel OF the gun. lie then
threw the gun across his arm, the mug
zle pointing toward Miller and Dsau,
who were standing side by side at the
stove As he threw the gun over his
arm, Letch closed the breech lever
The rifle discharged and the bullet en-
tered Niller's right breast. Miller did
not fall instantly. As soon as Letch
realized the terrible accident he had
caused, he started for Sagola to procure
surgical assistance. He returned late in
the night with doctor, but Miller had
been dead several hours, having expired
about an hour and a quarter after the
shooting. The following morning, the
party set out for Crystal Falls, arriv-
ing here about noon on Thursday. An
attempt was made to empannel coro-
ner's jury, but upon the disclosure that
the accident occurred in Dickinson county
it was decided to let the authorities OF
that county deal with the ca ,e. Coroner
j. ID. Cudlip, OF Iron Mountain, came up
With a jury OF six men yesterday aud the
remains were viewed. The jury then
ajouined to Iron Mountain 20 meet Mt
ten o'clock this morning
The remains will be buried from the
First Methodist church at two o'clock
tomorrow.
Mr.. Miller was iorty-one years OF age
and has been II resident OF Crystal Falls
for fourteen years. lie was well liked by
all who knew him and was sober and
industrious man. He has been the
victim OF much ill-luck during the past
few years, having suffered from sickness
and loss OF savings loaned to friends.
Consequently, when hard times struck
this district, he had no money and has
had "A difficult struggle TO keep want
from the door OF his wife and five
children since. For this reason he
dropped his membership in the benevo-
lent order OF Sons OF Herman short
time ago. The eldest Of his five children

The DIAMOND DRILL has been unable
to secure complete returns on the legis-

Mr.. Crippen ran ahead OF the Republi-

w. o p. HILsDALE,
Postmaster,

1t is gratifying to know that an old and
esteemed former citizen OF Sank Centre
seems to be in luck. The following is from
the JournalPress of Monday: Engineer
Chas. Dram of Willmar and formerly of
this city, has gone on mission to South
Carolina which may prove profitable one.
A letter recently received by him from an
uncle in that state tells of coal min. which
was owned by the father, now deceased, of
Mr.. Ormap, and which has proven a most
valuable property. Mr.. Orman, ST., never
considered the mine of any great value but
recent developments have shown it to be of
no little wealth in producing qualities. Mr..
Orman, acting on advices from his uncle,
has gone to investigate the. merits of the
mine. His many friends in this city will
hope to hear that it will make wealthy man
of Charley.'

And her clever company including the
wonderful child actress Politics. Baby will
play one night engagement at the City
Opera House on Tuesday November 10th.
1t would be difficult to make an announce
ment that would be received with more sat
isfaction by the theatre patrons of the city,
for Miss Goodrich is one of the most success
full favorites that comes to the West.
Miss Goodrich has given good grounds in
the past for regarding her with favor, and
that she will continue to do so there is little
doubt. She is simple and natural, and her
humor is of the most graceful order and is
closely allied to pathos. She is different
from any one else her individuality being
very marked, and in this as much as her
acting lies the secret of her success.

THE ELECTION
1t Was Quiet and Orderly, and no
UnpleaSantness Resulted,

The election in this CITY passed of
very smoothly, and Notwithstanding the
Intense interest manifested, the day was
exceptionally quiet. There was little
too much occupancy of polling places by
those who had voted, contrary to law
but on the whole there was little cause
of complaint, Once in a while some
voter would be challenged. bur only a
few votes were excluded for cause, an d
those offering the m acted in good faith.
Special officers were delegated to en-
force the law at both precincts, and the
fact that no arrests were necessary
speaks well for the eommunity. when it
is considered that feeling was intense.

sidewalk electionering, the ground be.

Voting commenced early and the
booths were rarely vacant from early
morning until late in the afternoon, the
last hour giving the judges and clerks
little relief. The big ballot was puz-
zler to many, and considerable num-
Der of votes were thrown out for ire
gularity-the per cent. all told being
considerable.

LEGATIONS and experiments So far as
our resources are concerned, but little
more is known than in the days of our
first settlement. Nobody can say
from personal knowledge that there is
not an abundance of coal, for no in
vestigation worthy of the name has
ever been made. ''Signs" are abund-
ant in different sections of the coun-
try and the probability is that coal
may be found. From personal knowl
edge nobody can affirm that artesian
wells exist only in the fertile 1magi
nation of the western Kansas settler,
or that from such a source water may
not be had in such quantities that
will make our broad acres even more
productive than the famous irrigated
lands of California. for it is admitted
that our soil is much richer. We are
not entirely ignorant of the fact that
in the discussion of this subject we
have entered largely into the realms
of speculation, but until we are con-
WINGED by an actual demonstration
that none of these good things are for
us we shall at least continue to hope
and we do not think there is entire
absence of tangible reasons for such
delightful anticipations.
