The Farmers Excursion,

! The Marshall county, farmers who
participated in the excursion to the
State Experiment farm returned home
on Friday morning last week, and re-
port having had a very pleasant and
profitable trip. At the depot they
gave three rousing cheers for the
Great Northern railway, by whose
courtesy they had been enabled to
take the trip, and for Mr.. R. Glavin
and Mr.. J. P. Lundin who personally
conducted the excursion and acted as
guides. One day was spent at the
Experiment farm where much useful
information was received in regard to
improved methods Of farming and
stock raising. It was interesting to
note the experiments conducted with
wheat and other grains with view of
ascertaining what varieties are the
most reliable and productive and
what conditions are most favorable
for its growth. Many pointers were
obtained about raising swine, sheep,
cattle and horses. The carpenter and
blacksmith shop, and veterinary de-
partment were points Of interest. Free
lunch was served On the farm. A
delegation of 100 farmers from Walsh
Co., n. D., were entertained the
same day. The second day was
spent in inspecting the Walter A.
Woods Harvester Works where
1000 men are employed, and the
South St. Paul Stock Yards. After
viewing these sights an opportunity
was given to top off the day by Wis
it to the circus ard the beautiful
Como Park. On the third day they
were given the privilege of a visit to
the States Prison at Saltwater. Here
they were welcomed by the warden
who in his speech said he was pleased
to see them come in the way they did,
and not as prisone They inspected
the twine making machinery, saw
the Younger boys and a great deal
more Of interest, but not one of those
we have seen expressed any desire to
remain there indefinitely. Here they
were treated to a good dinner and
cigars.
Two coaches were provided for the
use of the farmers by the railway
company. The following are the
names of the farmers participating

Ihe story as told by the LaCounts
has been published in the Tribune.
The LaCount brothers were with
their father when he was killed fif-
ty-eight years ago near the Snake
river in Marshall county. The
younger one, Naive, who lives near
Red Kake Falls, was twelve years of
age at the time, while the elder, An
tome, who lives at Medicine Lake.
Ramsey county, this state, was eight
cen years old, and although he is
now almost eighty years old, he has
a vivid recollection of the shooting
OF his father by the Englishman and
his burial in the shallow grave.
About two weeks ago the brother
living at Red Lake Falls went to
see his elder brother and told him
that the body of their father was be-
ing exhibited through this country
as a curiosity. The two men re-
turned to Crookston and have been
here ever since. The warrant for the
arrest OF the parties exhibiting the
body was sworn out several days
ago, but was not served, in the hope
that the body would be brought in
to Minnesota, and thus extradition
papers would be unnecessary. But
this week it was decided to arrest the
parties wherever found, and extra
dite them if necessary. The out
fit was found at Fargo yesterday and
the arrests made. May Holmes was
the only one Of the owners found.
If the LaCounts succeed in identi-
flying the body as that Of their father
they will Of course be entitled to
possession of it. It must be admit
ted that there is striking resemb-
lance between the petrifed body and
the LaCounts. The thick lips, re-
ceding forehead, the heavy body and
light limbs are particularly notice
able. Two old squaws living on the
Point, near Grand Forks, viewed the
body and Immediately identified It
as the remains of Antoine LaCount,
who was well known through the
Northwest as guide and horse deal
er. He had very decided limp, one
OF his legs being shorter than the
other, and as the body of the stone
man has this defect, it will go far
toward identifying the body Crooks

NEW FOLDEN.

Unusual quantities Of water came
down from heaven here as elsewhere
this spring. Very little seeding could
be done.
Two years ago, a ditch was dug
across a ridge and low lands by in
dividual and local enterprise to drain
a swamp six miles in length and pre-
viously impossible. The work was
not completed. The unusual quanti-
ties OF rain made some people uneasy.
They seemed to think the ditch was
the cause of the inundation of their
lands. They made camplaint to the
Town Boai |. The Town Board
ordered out twenty-three men to
close the ditch for distance OF twen-
ty rods. This work was to be paid
for by those who had dug the ditch;
notice having been given to this eff
feet. On the day when the closing of
the ditch was to take place, fifteen
men and some spectators gathered,
the former to oppose the work, the
latter to symphathize witt, one oppo-
sition. All of these sat down to
watch the work. When it had pro-
ceeded somewhat, one OF the opposi-
tiOn leaped into the ditch, waist deep.
and began to tear up what had been
put down, the rest of his party joined
him. When their work was done and
they came out of the ditch, a loud
"hurrahF' greeted them from the
sympathizing spectators. This in
reference was to cost the opposition
dearly; the road boss had declared
that it would cost $4,000. On the
eigth Of June, the main offenders APP
peared, in obedience to summons,
before Justice OF the Peace, Nils
Brandt. They had secured Hon. A.
F. Grady, Of Thief River Falls to con-
duct the defence. Grady found that
in the complaint, the case had been
