THREE unknown tramps were burned
to death on Sunday In the Jail Of Con.
way, small town in Walsh county. They
had been arrested and jailed for disturb.
ing the peace and footing stores, and set
fire to the Jail in an attempt to get free.
One was burned to death before help
came and two others died shortly after.
We regret to say that Major VIM.
Camp is failing rapidly and his death is
expected atany time. His nephew, ex-
Governor Merriam Of Minnesota, was a
visitor at his bedside this week. He is
lying at the Pembina House and is being
well cared for by Mrs. Gerardin and the
Masonic brethren.
REV. Mr.. McGREeoR will preach at
the M. E. church on Sunday evening.
He will leave for his home in Minneapo-
lis next week after pleasant vacation,
hunting in the vicinity. Mrs. Hamil-
ton Matthews Of Humbolt, MINI. who is
suffering from cancer, will return to
Minneapolis with him to enter the Metho-
dist Hospital there for treatment.
F. W. FELsoN has sold his livery barn
to w. ]. Kneeshaw. Mr.. Kneeshaw has
a large number of farm horses and other
stock and will use the barn for the hous-
ing of these. and will in connection con.
tinue the livery and sale business. Mr..
Felson, who Is an expert harnessmaker.
will open a harness shop. which has
been for long time a much needed in.
stitution in the city and which we believe
will be success for Mr.. Felson as well
as convenience for the people.
SAMUEL GIBSON of Neche is reported by
the St Paul papers to have beenrobbed
Of IS at a lodging house in that civ
while on his way home from Ontario.
Mr. Gibson also wanted to know howhe
could get $1,000 back that his young wife
had relieved him Of, and whom he had
been foolish enough to marry.
THERE is a picture of good looking

tickets" It is worth looking at the pic
ture and the opportunity. The name of
the good looking man, -wellllook for the
picture, he's too awful bashful to put II
in print
CERTAINLY, this rs. hot enough for
US" for this time Of year. We would
suggest to the signal man in town that
his flag signals are more Satisfactory
than the weather. It has been sqocal
showers and cooler" according to the
flags for a week, but the weather has
been dry and hot all the time. Howey-
er, they had showers in Fargo and it
looked like rain here. Later we will
likely kick if it does rain, and shiver If il
gets cold.
