The Bemidji Pioneer OF April ~
says: Sheriff Nygaard returned
from Crookston Yesterday. where he
had been with the man, Robt. Kin
ney, who murdered Jerry Root.
Mrs. Jerry Root called at the court
house the morning after KINNEY and
the n sheriff has departed for
!Crookston, and was much disap-
pointed at not finding Bob" as she
called him. at home with the iatler.
She said he would sink into the
earth at the sight of her, for she had
helped him for over ten years to
keep out of trouble. Mrs. Root re-
turned home to- FIT. Ripley In the
afternoon OF Friday with the body
of her husband. She Yves very much
broken up over the murder, but is
evidently a brave woman, and one
who would have many friends.
The Little Falls people here all as.
sisted her to make arrangements to
get back to her home as speadily as
possible.

A bicyclist came to grief Tuesday
evening by riding too fast on the
main street, and not keeping a prop
er lookout for other vehicles. The
bicyclist was Harry Conliff, and he
was going at a rapid rate down
First street. The Minneapolis Brew
cry wagon was crossing First street
on Broadway, and as the bicyclist
was going too fast to turn out or
stop he ran into the wagon full tilt.
OF course, there could be but one re-
suit, and that was injury to the
rider and his wheel, but considering
the speed at which he was going
Conliff's escape was lucky. He was
knocked off his wheel and received
severe bruises on one hand, and one
OF his legs was also badly bruised.
but no bones were broken. His
wheel also escaped with slight DAM
age. ~

structor Walter Folsom can he re-
tained during the summer months.
since the series 81 concerts ended Mr..
Folsom has received nothing for his

lions. As the members are not able
to pay his salary themselves, q COM
mittee was appointed to call upon
the business men and other citizens
to ask for donations to pay Mr..
Folsom's salary. In return the
band boys agree to give street

that he lost money bv the delay ~

Day & Co. to- drive the logs the f1rat
season II they had:wanted to. Gravel
claimed he received u lower amount
TOR logs the year Day & Co. drove
them than he could obtain the year
they should have been driven, and
that his loss through Days neglect
eoualled the amount that Day was
co receive for driving.
The question OF the standing OF g
sale Of the logs made by Gravel the
first year was alao involved. as II
that sale was binding the delay had
causetl no loss. The 10 wer court
held the sale was binding. but the
supreme court SAYS It. was not, and

WEEK ENDING MONDAY. MAY 2, 1879.
The light and scattered showers in
the first half of the week were soon
dried UP by the high winds, which
are said to have caused damage also
by drifting the soil, but good soak
ing and warm rain in nearly all
parts OF the state began on the 18th
or 9Oth, thoroughly settling the soil.
The temperature has not varied
much from the normal, but some of
the nights have been cold, with
frosts, especially on the morning of
the 18th, but no damage resulted.
Wheat and oat seeding is about
finished in the north. and wheat is
coming up nicely as far north as
Kittson county. 1t is,growing finely
in more southern portions, but that
sown with drills makes g. better

Corn land In the south is well under
preparation, and a few warm days
will make planting general. An
absence of warm weather has kept
the fruit buds well In check. Fruits
generally have wintered well, and
promise a good crop, but the snow
less winter is said to have injured
rasrberries. Early strawberries are
beginning to bloom in the south.
Early potatoes are being planted,
and gardening Ia well advanced, the
market gardeners having peas and
radishes growing well, and early
corn planted. Winter wheat is
