stone Man in Court.

Grand Forks. N. D. Judge Mer- gan is in the city to try some cases for Judge Fisk. and the first one called has been that of the famous stone man, which has taken up 80 much court time in months past. The case is en- titled Mrs. Holmes against George H. McPherrin ct al. Mrs. Holmes claims that the stone man is her properly, as the other two men failed to keep a contract that was entered into. The two Le Count brothers came in as in- tervenors. claiming that the body was that of their father, but Judge Fisk. who heard that much of the ase. de- cided against them. A Crookston man however. who put up bonds when the stone man was being banded from one claimant to another, was allowed to come in as an intervenor. The stone man has been in the county jail for several months and tho bill for storage will probably amount to over $100. The result of the action will be watched with much interest.

The mathematician took it up and began to read aloud. thus: Half q league, half a league. half a league

A store in Which Nothing is Ever

A Store in Which Nothing is Ever
 Sold
 In Bainbridge, Geanga county. O., not far from Cleveland. is the queer est country general store ever ran a cross. Bainbridge is small hamlet, but the store is as large and as well stocked as the average suburban store It is kept--that is precisely the word for it-by an old widower. whc has no elatives in that section of the country and is practically a hermit. When the civil war began he was running a fourishing general store in Bainbridge and made money rapidly during the succeeding four years, When peace was declared prices, which had been greatly inflated, took a sudden drop. The old fellow believed that this would be followed by boom which would send prices skvward again, and refused to sell his goods for less than he paid for them. Down went the prices-down. down, down and finally he was forced to close his store for want of purchasers.
 To-day it stands almost as it did thirty years ago. It is stocked with such goods as are usually found in country stores, but. of course, the stock is practically worthless.
 Every day the old man opens up the place to give it an airing. He IS there, too, for business, if any one wants to buy what he has to sell, and is willing to pay what he asks for them.

The full statement of all expense and
all receipts will be made at the annual
