AGENTS for the sale Of groceries
to farmers have been operating in
this vicinity this spring, with what
result can be learned by viewing
the carload lots Of merchandise
shipped in by these agents for de-
livery. Il the farmer will only
think that these men are not
humanitarians, do note this for
nothing, and that they go else
where as soon as the goods are de-
liyered, SO that he has no protec-
ton against imposition, he must
see his great liability of not getting

The conf as silver repub-I
licans held at Chicag s. last week
was attended 81 delegates from p.
every state inthe Union, BY states
men who hereto fore have been res
cognized as trusted leaders in the
republican party. North Dakota
being represented by Col. Creel,
Of Devils Lake. They now see
that the repubh can party has been
betrayed, and the voice Of Wall
and Lombard streets has been sub
stituted for the voice of Lincoln
and the patriots who carried the re-
publican flag through the darkest
days of the nation. We saw the
nearing approach of this overhang-
ing cloud of the English gold
standard overshadowing that party
years ago, fortelling the destruc-
4 = 1 q N
ton of silver and the bringing
upon the country the miseries Of
the gold standard.
The Chicago conference of re-
publican silver men, finding they
can no longer serve in the ranks Of
goldocracy, have wisely resolved to
consult together and act only with
those who are in favor of the peo-
pie and the coinage laws of the
better days of the republic. They
will cooperate with the unfettered
democracy which threw off the
shackles Of gold at the Chicago
convention and will support Bryan
and the free silver platform.
Hundreds of thousands, and per
haps millions, will follow them, as
the knowledge that the republican
party has been betrayed and is
now in league with the enemies OF
the country spreads among the
masses of American voters.
We congratulate the silver re-
publicans who met in Chicago last
week. The movement will be q
valuable aid in achieving victory
1895 and 1900 for the people
against their oppressors.

POACHBRS KILLED.
Four Young Hunters Shot-The Came
keepers Arrested.


CROWN POINT, Ind, Jan. 1S.-In
pitched battle between the Tolleston
club gamekeepers and poachers on the
preserves of the Tollestor club of Chi
cago, near here today five men were shot,
three of them fatally. The wounded are:
Frank Costwick, shot through the
lungs; will die; Theodore Pratt, shot in
body; will die Charles Pratt, shot in
body; will probably recover; Alvin
Botwell, shot in body; will recover; John
Blackburn, shot in temple with revolver;
will probably die.
Poaching on the clubs grounds had
given its caretakers much trouble of hate
and several gamekeepers, we'll armed
with shotguns and pistols, were on duty
today when fourteen young men. men,
bers Of the families of neiggboring farm
ers, invaded the duck swamp and pre-
pared for days sport
The watchmen bore down on the boys
in a body and hailing them from con-
siderable distance ordered them off the
clubs grounds. Instead of complying
the poachers made rush for the game
keepers. The latter opened fire at three
rods range and four of the young men
fell to the marsh, riddaed with shot.
Their comrades returned the fire, and
Blackburn, one of the watchmen, fell
with a. shot in the skull.
Sheriff Farley arrested Barney Whit
lock- the Blackburn brothers and Alfred
Taylor and lodged them in jail tonight.
The shooting was done at such short
distance that every shot went through
the bdoies of each of the wounded. In
the body of Theodore Pratt over 16 shot
were counted; the bullet which struck
Costwick went clear through the body.
Several other men will be arrested in the

EDITH ASHBROOKE WANTED
To Claim Her Share in Her Fathers
Estate
An Australian Sheep King Leaves a
Vast Fortune-The Daughters
Whereabouts Unknown

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Fred Ashbrooke.
millionaire sheep owner of Melbourne,
Australia, died in 1896 and left his es-
tranged daughter Edith one-third of his
vast estate. The heiress is supposed to
be In Chicago or its vicinity and the rela-
tives are trying to find her Announce
ment Of Ashbrookes death and the dis
position of his property was made in a
communication received today by at
torneys from correspondents in Mel
bourne who have the estate in charge
The estate of the sheep king, as Ash
brooke was known, is estimated to be
worth at least $2,5OO,OOO. Two daugh-
ters besides the missing Edith are the
beneficiaries.
The story of Miss Edith's leaving home
and her estrangement from her family is
romantic. In spite of parental objec-
tion, she married the man she loved
and received a fathers curses and prom
ise of disinheritance. But the latter
promise was, as now develops, never
fulfilled. In 1880 Edith Ashbrooke, then
IL years old. met and loved Edward
Townsend, an American civil engineer.
at a ball in Melbourne. After a few
months courtship, Townsend proposed
and was accepted by the girl, but the
parent would not sanction the union. The
girl, however, married Townsend
The following year Townsend and his
bride left Melbourne, going to San Fran
cisco, where for awhile he was en-
ployed on one Of the morning papers.
In 1886 the couple went to Port Townsend
Wash, and later drifted to Victoria, b.
c., where Townsend is said to have died
of pneumonia. With her child, Mrs
Townsend has moved from one place to
another supporting herself and child as
best she could. Two years ago advices
from Melbourne state she was employed
as a clerk in one of the big department
stores in Chicago. That was the last
heard of her.
