Will be circus DAY in jamestown, and il
the fair weather continues no doubt they
will have large attendance. Reports
from our correspondents IN other places,
and from our various exchanges along
the line by which the big show is COM
ing, tell wonderful tales Of the glorious
and triumphant march of this msgnif-
cent and marvellous tented amusement
giant. A mere newspaper notice. no
matter how extended can not tell
tenth of the wonders which the great
tents are credited with holding There
is large Three ringed circus, monster
Menagerie, which, by the way, is entirely
distinct and separate from the wild
beast show, which consists of all kinds Of
savage brutes exhibited in startling per-
formances in a huge, steel barred cage,
the same as seen in European capitals,
New York, and the Chicago and Atlanta
exhibitions. Then there is real
Roman Hippodrone, aud world of
wonders, which space forbids detailed
account of here. All in all, the Lemen
shows are held to be most surprising
and pleasing unifcation of all that is
new and wonderful in the great circus
world. and our people may expect to be
sgreeably surprised at the marvellous
exhibition which will be seen, here Tues
day, June Goth.

Col. Towner Dead

Col. O. NJ. Towner, after whom Town.
er county and city were named, died OF
spoplsxy suddenly. He vas for num-
bsr Of years ono Of the most popular and
prominent citizens 0f tho state. He
came from Missouri in 1878, whom the
Red River valley was being rapidly SET
tied. Soon after his arrival he interested
. party of st. LOUIS capitalists in .
mammoth colonization scheme. Several
car loads Of plantation negroes were
brought from the south and located on
contiguous quarter sections Of land IN
the western part of Grand Forks county.
When they proved up on their claims Q
few months later the colonels company
Of capitalists became the owner Of thous.
ands of acres Of the finest farming land
of the northwest. He promoted several
other colonization schemes. He was
once candidate for governor and was
nearly successful. His colony scheme
collapsed. A domestic affair caused 9
commotion and the colonel went to
South America and remained the 70 sev-
eral years. He returned q year ago to
Towner and for the past few months was
engaged IN another gigantic colonization
scheme which planned the settlement OF
the western portion of the state with
farmers from the vicinity OF Chicago.

Horse thieves rounded up $50 work
horses near Dickinson and..stsrted south.
The county sheriff and ten trusted men
are in hot pursuit. A gang Of thieves
has been operating there for long time
and the settlers are becoming much
exercised over the matter.
They have peculiar ideas Of justice in
Wells county, says the New Rockford
Transcript. An inhuman wretch by the
name Of Stout was arrested charged with
rape upon the person OF his 13 year old
daughter. A preliminary hearing was
had, and the justice found plenty Of evi.
dence to assure HIM the prisoner was
guilty and bound him over to the district
court. The bond was fixed at $3.50, and
the prisoner was let ont on bis own
recognizance to get bond, and appar-
emily hasn't found it yet, and the sheriff
has since been unable to find him.
Mrs. Urbane Dixon OF Bismarck had
her husband arrested and brought back
from Miles City, Mont, on the charge of
adultery and recently made application
to the state supreme court for 9 writ of
habess corpus to put her husband out Of
jail. Mrs. Dixon stated she never made
the complaint against hlm for the crime
charged and as she is the only person
who can make the complaint, under the
law, she asks his release. She statesd
that the complaint she signed was in
blank and States Attorney Allln says
she signed regularly filed out com

The five Indian murderers under arrest
are stlll in the Emmons county Jail
where they are watched by four guards.

Track and Ireland will be brought to

in the Jail and county building A
motion for new trial will be made IN
the case against Coudot, convicted Of the
murder, and il this is denied, the case
will be taken to the supreme court at
the October term. The point upon
which the appeal will be based will be
the lack Of evidence corroborative Of the
testimony Of Holy Track and Ireland,

an acoomplice cannot be used to base
conviction for murder unless it is cor
roborated by other facts and clrcum-

The past week has made quite an im-
provemsnt in crops OF oil kinds. Heavy
rains in oil parts OF the state except the
western portion, followed BY warm
weather, hes revived vegetation that was

Field Diversions

General Horace Porter tells the fol-
lowing anecdote in campaigning with
Grant in the Century: During the ten
days of battle through which we had
just passed very little relief, physical
or mental, had been obtained: but there
was one staff-Officer, a Colonel b,
who often came as bearer Of messages
to our headquarters, who always man
aged to console himself with novel
reading, and his popularity in this re-
spect became a standing joke among
those who knew him. He went about
with his Saddle-bags stuffed full of
thrilling romances, and was seen sew
eral times sitting on his horse under a
brisk fire, porting over the last pages
Of an absorbing volume to reach the
denouement of the plot and eviacing
a greater curiosity to find how the hero
and the heroine were going to be eX-
treated from the entangled dilemma
into which they had been plunged by
the unSympathetic author than to learn
the result of the surrounding battle.
One Of his peculiarities was that he
took il for granted that ali the people
he met were perfectly familiar with
his line of literature, and he talked
about nothing but the merits Of the
latest novel. For the last week he had
been devouring Victor Hugo's Les
Misera bles' 1t was an English trans
lation, for the officer had no knowledge
of French. AS he was passing house
in rear of the angle he saw a young
lady seated on the porch, and, stop
ping his horse, bowed to her with all
the grace of a Chesterfield, and en-
deavored to engage her in conversat ton.
Before he had gone far he took occa-
sion to remark: by the way, have
you seen Lees Miserables' ?" angliciz-
ing the pronunciation. Her black eyes
snapped with Indignation as she tartly
replied: Don't you talk to me that
way; they're good deal better than
Grants miserables anyhow This
was retold SO often by those who heard
it that, for some time after, it's repeti-
ton seriously endangered thevColonePs
