NOT A NUISANCE.

Judge Pollock handed down dc>is.
ion in the case of the First Baptist
church here against H. S. Palmer, who
is erecting livery stable at Fargo. A
few weeks ago Palmer bought the prop
erty contiguous to the Baptist church
for the purpose of erecting a livery
stable upon it. The church Immediately
applied for an injunction on the ground
of the stable being a nuisance. The
construction was discontinued. The
judge denies the right OF the church to
prevent Palmer from erecting a stable
on the ground that the stable is not
yet a nuisance. The case has been OF
absorbing interest in Fargo, as the prin-
ciple involved means practically con-
fiscation of property. The church in
tends to renew the case as soon as the
stable is used, if the least opening is
given, as they claim it materially de-
preciates the value of their property.

Benjamin Berdell, wandering clock
repairer, is death on flies. Three years
ago, when at Railway, N. j., during a
storm he was picking cherries, when
the tree was struck by lightning. Ber-
dell received severe shock. 1t trans
formed him into an electric man. Any
one who shakes hands with him now
receives a severe shock. BY pressing
the blades of knife between his
thumb and finger during storm he
charges the metal SO strongly that
heavy weights can be lifted. When
flies alight upon him they drop dead.
When he is in "a dark room sparks flash
from his flesh and his eyes shine like
incandescent lights. Whenever a
storm approaches Berdell becomes
highly charged with electricity, and it
is dangerous to touch him. He saws
that he feels no inconvenience except
that he will not go near moving loco
