Grain Stacks Burned.

The first accident OF the season by
occurred ut the farm Of T.. ROchlpau,
In the eastern part Of Belle Prairie
town, Wednesday afternoon. Christ
Grest's threshing crew had just fairly
started the work W threshlng Mr..
ROclileaus grain, when u spark from
the engine set fire to- the stacks and
they were completely destroyed.
knowing that it was useless to at
tempt to Savp the stacks the crew
Immediately turned their attention
to saving the seperatOr, which was
OF far more value than the stacks.
The new and powerful traction EN-
gine, which Mr.. Crest purchased this
season. was quickly attached to the
separator and it was hauled to Il
safe place.
The amount OF grain destroyed
was the product OF thirty-elght acres
Of wheat and twelve acres Of rye, less
about forty bushels OF wheat that
had been threslled. The grain stacks
were insured and the loss Is esti-
ated at about 300. s. .s... .2 .ss,...
No one was to blame for the acci-
dent, as it was due to the wind be-
coming stronger and shifting after
they had begun tlIreshing. Noah
Morin has charge Of the thresher
and crew and IL an experienced and
careful hand.

While at the Morrison county fair
last year Senator Knute Nelson
promised several citizens OF Elm
Dale that he would visit their town
in 1896. and make an address to the
people there. Some of the leading
citizens of Elm Dale will be In st.
Paul next week at the state fair and
&. A. r. encampment, and expect to
see tile senator at that time, and
ARRANGE the date for his coming to
Elm Dale. 1t is probable that ar
rangements will be made for him to
speak in Elm Dale in the afternoon,
and then come to Little Falls and
speak in the evening. Mr.. Vallett,
the Elm Dale mill man, has just put
up II building in which several
hundred people can be seated. and it
is the only building in the town that
would any where near accommodate
the crowd that would turn out to
hear Knute Nelson, and it will
probably be obtained for the meet
ing.
Senator Nelson is in great demand
in campaigns. and the Republicans
OF Little Falls expect him here this
year. He spoke here in 1892, but
was unab ble to be here in 1894.
