AT midnight the river was slowly ris-
Ing, four-tenths of foot being the rise
in the twenty-four hours from mid
night Saturday night to midnight last
night. The water has still something
less than two feet to go before the
highest mark of 1877 is reached, which
was registered April 18, 1881. The rise
yesterday was over one-tenth of foot
more than in the preceding twenty-four
hours, and old river men are authority
for the statement that the water will
come very close to the 1881 mark before
the flood subsidies.

A Fatal Accident.

The accidental discharge of shot
gun terminated the life Of an old and
highly respected citizens of Little
Rock township, this morning. The
victim of the terrible accident, one
of the saddest that has occurred in
this county in years, was George
Roberts, farmer whose home was
on section %, Little Rock, and who
had been for years we'll known res
ident of that township. Mr.. Roberts
saw a flock of prairie chickens alight
in field near the house, and taking
his gun started in that direction.
Shortly afterwards, his wife heard the
report of the gun and saw the tin
fortunate man fall. The accident
evidently occurred in passing through
a barbedwire fence, the hammer hav-
ing caught on the lower wire. The
full charge struck him in the neck
and chin, tearing it's way through and
out of his head and one eye, and
death, of course, was instantaneous
The body lay partially on each side
of the fence, one leg over the wire
and it was probably owing to his hav:
ing tripped that the gun was allowed
to fall and catch the wire. Mr.. Ro
berts was about forty years of age
and leaves wife and two children

A LETTER FROM MIR. PALM.
WoRTH1NGToN, April 7.

WoRTHlNeroN, April Z.
To the Editor of the Democrat.
An article in your paper OF last
week contains some statements in re-
gard to Mr.. j. Kendlen, ex-county
auditor, that are not quite fair to-
wards him, in view of the facts in the
case, and ask that you will favor me
with small amount of space in way
of correction of that article.
The board of county commission
ers claim that during Mr.. Kendlen's
term of Office he drew over and above
the amount allowed him for salary
and clerk hire, all told, something
like 500, which the board thinks
should be paid into the treasury of
the county. In this the board is act
ing by advice of the, county attorney,
and he, in turn, is backed up by an
opinion of the attorney general of the
state. >
Mr.. Kendlen claims that he has
drawn nothing but. what he was
legally entitled to, and [ understand
that he has legal advice to support
his pOSlClOu. IL DecOm6S, Cneu, mere
ly legal question between the board
and Mr.. Kendlen.
That part of your article that re.
fers to supplies purchased by him in
his own name and by him in turn
sold to the county, is disproved by
the fact that the commissioners pro-
ceedings and financial statements do
not show such purchases to have been
made from him.
The board has made no criminal
charge whatever against MIR. Kend-
len, and has no evidence on which
such charge might be based. The
matter at issue depends upon an in
depreciation of the law, and as far as
any action taken by the board is con-
cerned, that only.
AS you have always shown dispo-
sition. to deal fairly by all parties, I
doubt not you will cheerfully publish
this statement. H. M. PALM,
Chairman Board of Commissioners
Democrat, Adrian.

The amount for Worthington after deducting
the average surveying and the amount returned
is $568.ss and in March '9e only 1888 was
paid for clerk hire. Compare this with
other towns and if you claim that the
labor is as much where small amount is dis
bursed as large one. make the comparison
with towns handling a less amount as we'll.
In conclusion, while in conversation with a
member of one of the past councils he incident
dentally said: with clerk $50 would be big
salary for the recorder as there was no nc essiy
for the recorder doing any more than the men,
bers but 1t would be alright to allow something
or the use of the name of the recorder.

Edward H. Basse,t died at his
home near Rushmore, at II o'clock
Friday morning, April 9th. >
Mr.. Bassett has been in poor health
for good many years, caused by a
hard and arduous service for his
country during the civil war. He
has been a resident of Mobiles county
for the past 2l years, and was one Of
it's most valued citizens.
Edw. H. Bassett was born at New
Haven, Connecticut. Dec. 2l, 1912.
His father and mother, in their later
years, lived at Fairbault, Minnesota,
where his father died Jan. 4, 1878.
His aged mother, one brother, Alfred
S. Bassett, prominent attorney Of
Faribault, two sisters, Ella, wife of
Geo. Chamberlain, of Minneapolis,
and Anna E., still survive him.
His early life was spent with his
parents. At the age of eighteen
years, prompted py spirit CT patrio
tism, be enlisted, April 20, 1861, at
the first call for IS 900 men, in Co. G.,
First Minnesota Infantry, which was
commanded by Col. Willis A. Cor
man. The regiment was sent direct
to Washington and was mustered in
under the three years term. Mr..
Bassett participated in thirty four
battles of the civil war-a record that
is hardly paralleled for arduous SER
vice. He participated in the first
battle of Bull Run, Fair Oakes, An
teitam and the decisive battle of the
war at Gettysburg. When his three
years had expired be re-enlisted as a
member of Battery L, First Minneso-
ia Heavy Artillery and was sent to
Chattanooga, after taking part in the
battle of Nashville. He was here en-
gagged in guard duty and continued
at the front until Sept. 27, 1866, when
he was honorably discharged. This
is brilliant record, indeed, and sug
gests the heroism which prompted
him to give so many years to his
country at time when any hour
might require the sacrifice of mans
most cherished possession-life.
At the close of the war he returned
to his fathers home at Fairbault.
Shortly afterward he was married to
Hattie A., the eldest daughter of
Benjamin and Sallie (Norton) King:
natives of Vermont, and came to
Minnesota with her parents when, a
maiden of fourteen years. After their
marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Bassett moved
to LeSueur county on farm, and in
1875 they came to Mobiles county.
They were the parents of eleven
children. nine of whom are still living.
Mr.. Bassett was a member of Stod-
dard Post No. "a G.. A. r., and was
esteemed by his comrades and re-
spected by his many friends.
He was buried in the Worthington
cemetery Sabbath last by his com
rades, Rev. Robt. McCune officiating
