Miss Elsie Lewis, who is staying with
Mr.. and Mrs. p. E. Nelson and attend
ing our school this winter, nearly lost
her life from asphixiation by coal gis
last Saturday morning. She sleeps in
the upper. chamber of Mr.. Nelson's
house. and stovep,pe runs from the
lower floor up into her room and int
the chimney. This chimney had, dur
ing the winter, become clogged with
mortar, etc., falling from the inside of
the chimney, and this caused the leak
age of gas into the bedroom. About
7:80 Saturday morning Mr.. Nelson
raped on the stovepipe for Elsie to
get up, as is the usual custom, but got
no response. A few minutes later Mrs.
Nelson raped louder and still no re-
sponse. MIR. Nelson then ran upstairs
and loudly knocked on the door and
thought he heard faint reply and
went below. Elsie dit. not appear in a
reasonable length Of time and he then
went upstairs and broke open the bed.

The above letter was handed to
the Courier by Mr.. Jimeson. It
would seem from the gentleman's
letter that he practically wants
Cooperstown citizens to build and
equip him mill and then he would
step in and reap the benefits.
Coooperstown does not want that
kind Of deal. We have the finest
location in the state of North Dakota
for a mill, but we want that mill put
in by the capital of the parties who
intend to operate it and not by any
bonus system. We are not in favor
Of paying bonuses for any legitimate
business. Our other business men
have located here without a bonus:
and if Mr.. Morris wants to put in a
mill he can do the same. Our
people would patronize mill liber-
ally and there is good money in the
investment for any good business
men or man. We admit that it
would be good thing for the town;
1t would also be nice snap for the
owner of the mill-the bonus we
allude to.

Right you are, Dunlap. Once in

your editorials we should judge tina,
you have been badly fooled. We
did not think that you were so dead
stuck on the old gang. However,
we hope for the best, and trust that

will try and keep its equilibrium and
not get fooled.

Several OF the state papers are
jumping astraddle of Senator Hans
brough's neck because he is favoring
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, for
president. Why shouldn't Hans
brough work for friend if he feels
like it? He has the same right that
those editors who are taking him to
task have. Hansbrough is hard
worker and good representative Of
the state of North Dakota. He works
indefatigably for the interests OF the
people and stands a goo,l chance of
succeeding fellow by the name of
Hansbrough as United States sena-
tor. We are not in favor Of Davis,
but if our senior senator feels like
supporting him, that is his privilege.
