ic history. In 1872, a young lady
living in Grow Wing, near this
city, was missing from her home
and drunken Indians having been
seen in this locality search was
instituted, and the body of the girl
found murdered. The arrest of two
Indians followed, and they were i'm
prisoned in the then village OF
Brainerd. Later, the citizens pro-
ceeded to the Jail, took the Indians
to large Norway pine, and hung
them. The Indians in the vicinity,
becoming restless, the government
troops from Fort Ridgley were sent
up to protect the citizens. The in
cident is spoken of as the "Blue-
berry War; the occurrence happen
ing in the season of the picking of
that fruit, which is produced in
great abundance here. The pine
tree died soon after but stood dead
for years until the branches began
to fall, when it was cut down, and
the stump is the marker of the
deed.
s'The scarcity of labor is troub-
ing the lumbermen. Two weeks
ago the wages of common labor
ers to work in the woods was $25
per month, board included. Now
$50 and $35 are offered, and a pro-
spect of still higher wages. Work
has already begun at swamping
roads and getting the camps in
shape for large cut of lumber and
loads of supplies are being hauled
out of this city every day to the
various camps tributary to Brain
erd.
"The possibilities of this north
ern portion of the State for stock
raising are immense. All kinds of
tame grasses grow luxuriantly,
while corn is counted a sure crop
with a large yield. Brainerd has a
creamery that is doing flourishing
business, while farmers at home, who
live at distance, have separators
of their own and market their butter
regularly at good prices. A great
chance is offered thepoor man-cheap
good land, good water, and good
prices for all farm produce.

COLD STORAGE.
A. H. MeIges Branches Out in an
important Industry.

A magnificent cold storage depot,
costing in the neighborhood of
$1,000, will be erected on the Chica-
90 & Northwestern tracks, just east
of the depot, by A. H. Melges of
this city, who has practically con-
cluded lease for the grounds. The
plans for the substructure are al
ready in Mr.. Melges' hands they
having been prepared by a leading
Boston firm, while the plans for the
superstucture will arrive from the
same concern in the course of a
week.
The main building will be a two
story structure, so feet long and 80
feet wide. The cold storage de-
partment of the main building will
be on the east end. It will be 35x3O
feet, and over it will be the big ice
room. The adjoining room will be
for general storage.
Mr.. Melges has a brother in Chi
cago in the cold storage business,
and the business of the Redwood
house will be run in conjunction
with the house in Chicago. Mr..
Melges will pay cash for all kinds
of country produce, eggs, butter,
beef, etc., and his prices will be as
high as the Chicago market will
warrant. In return be will receive
fruits, etc., of all kinds in season,
and will sell to local merchants in
such quantities as they may ask
tor, and consequently the latter
will not be in fear of having an over
supply of these goods on hand, and
loss from decay, etc. Both feat
ures are commendable and promise
to make the business a commend
able one for the manager.

the foundation will commence as
soon as the lease from the Chicago

is received and the stone are placed
on the ground by the North Red
wood Granite Works. The super
structure will be of the best mater
ial used in cold storage buildings,
and will be hurried as rapidly as
possible.
The railroad company oil and
coal house will be moved to another
portion of the yards in order to
make room for the storage building.

AMONG THE BOERS.
A. Williamson Says They Will Give
ENGLAND a Hot Reception.

A. Williamson, who visited here
for some time last summer, while on
his way from johannesburg, South
Africa, to the gold fields of Alaska,
and who only recently returned
from the latter place, is watching
the trouble between the English and
the Beers of the Dutch Republic in
South Africa, with great deal Of
interest, because it is there where
he has spent number of years Of
his life mining for Transvaal gold.
In an interview with Mr.. William
son he stated that the boys were
going to put up lively scrap, and
the English might have another
Majuba Hill, where they met disas-
trous defeat at the hands of the
Beers in 1881, to charge to the loss
account.
The real grievance Of the English
governmentA is because what is
known as the uitlanders residing
in the Transvaal, who contribute
about 50 per cent of the revenues
of the government out of the rich
gold and diamond mines of that coun-
try, are complaining that notwith-
standing the heavy taxation they
are not receiving the right of suf-
.frage in that country. England
wants Kruger's crowd to permit the
uitlanders, or outlanders, to become
residents or inlanders, at the end
of five years residence, in case
they so desire. If the Beers per-
1nitted this franchise the present
uitlanders would be in full control
of the government at the end of five
years, and the Beers, whose only
desires are to farm and to read their
Bible and live by themselves in
peace, would have to look for new
land to establish their peculiar
homes. But the uitlander wants to
Ghecome permanent resident of the
Transvaal-not merely person
who comes there to seek and secure
gold, and then return to his country
and spend it-but he wants to be a
stable part of the government, and
he contends that the unjust and op-
pressive taxation which he has
stood for many years, warrants
him in asking this right. Only
crude public schools are provided
for the children of the uitlander,
and freedom of speech and freedom
of the press are denied him.
Mr.. Williamson stated that mo
nopolies have been imposed upon
everything from mining machinery
to mineral waters. and after enrich
ing their own Golfers to the burst
ing point the shrewd minded Beers
have expended a goodly fraction of
the remaining revenue to arm and

Stump Concentrating an Indian
Hanging Still STANDING.

Frank E. Kenney, formerly of this
city, but now of Brainerd, writes
The GAZETTE under recent date to
the effect that on the last pay day
at the Northern Pacific shops two
of the employees of one of the banks
of the city went out to the shop and
in two hours disbursed $36, 900.
''There is a large pine stump in
the sidewalk on Front street., y Mr..
Kenney continues, s'that has q trag-

equip their countrvmen with the

ticipation of coming unrest.
whether the Beers are able to
defend their country or not is a dis
puted question. On the face it
would seem absurd that a nation
which shows fighting force Of only
&c, 900 could successfully resist the
great armies which England could
send against it. But those figures
do not truthfully represent the
number of ablebodied Beers who
can bear arms.
''The real army is the nation in
arms. It is impossible to give ex-
act figures concerning it's strength.
An army officer who recently made
report on the Boer fighting
strength says he asked men and
boys of all ages in all stations of
life in all parts of the Transvaal,
whether thev would 60 to war, if it
came to war, without ever receiving
a negative or even a doubtful an
swer. Even the oldest men he
met thought they would be good for
something's long as they had fingers
to pop a gun with and eyes to see a
redcoat.
1T is believed that the citizen
army comprises at least 10000 men
between the ages of 25 and IS years.
Though the majority of uitlanders
are exempted from military duty,
the younger men will readily help
their neighbors, he thinks. Of the
60, 600 blacks able to shoulder arms,
30, 600 may be relied upon to fight
with will.
The nation in arms really means
an army of mounted infantry, for
every citizen soldier reports for
duty on horseback, and there are
no better riders or sharpshooters
in the world. It seems impossible
to tire out Boer or his mount. AS
to getting away from his bullets,
the English have tried it once.
Their losses in the war of 1880 and
1881 were l, 159 dead and wounded
against 113 Beers, who received
''This subject of the remarkable
qualities of the Boer is a
facinating one which has been often
dealt with. In fact there has been
SO much exaggeration that it is hard
to say what is the truth and what is
mere romancing. But even the
admit that a Boer with a
rifle is a dangerous customer, even
at distance of 1000 yards, and
Tommy Atkins must be much near
er than that to do effective work.
'The best defense against an in
vading army, however, is found in
the character of the Transvaal bord-
err. Shut in on all sides by noun
tain ranges, the Boer could not be
safer if he had a Chinese wall all
around his republic. Each entrance
to the Transvaal, except from the
north, is through mountain pass,
and the Beers gold these passes.
''On the other hand the Beers are
practically surrounded by British
territory. Beyond the mountains
wait the redcoats. Germany is far
away The only friends upou whom
the Beers can count are their
brothers in the Orange Free State,
just across the Vaal. But to the
southeast, to the west and to the
north extends British Africa. The
Beers only path to the sea is blocked
by Portuguese East Africa, and the
Portuguese are under British in
fluence.

 It will be greatly to the advantage of the sheep men to file applications immediately, as none of them can he acted upon until all such applications are filed and a settlement made by sheep men as d body as to the territory allotted each, so there will be no con- flicting allotments.

They Must Obtain Permits to Range in the Forest Reserves Division of Range Left With Sheep
 Men.

It was recently decided by the com missioner of the general land office that sheep would be allowed to graze on the San Francisco mountains and the Grand Canyon reserves with the fol- lowing restrictions:
 On the San Francisco reserve they are allowed to graze upon all parts except the eight nest western town ships, viz Townships l9, 20, 2l and P, north, ranges l and east. The number of sheep allowed to graze upon the reserve will be somewhat reduced from the number grazed on the reserve last year. and allowed to graze from April lst to December lst. It will be necessary for each individual wishing to run sheep on the reserve to immed- ately file an application for the terri tory in which he desires to run sheep, otherwise he will be excluded from the reservation.
 On the Grand Canyon reservation it has been decided that limited num- Der of sheep will be allowed to graze, and the excluded territory to be two miles from the rim. The time allowed to be from November lst to May lst.
 The division of territory to be ranged by the different sheep men is left entirely in the hands of the sheep men, with the only provision that a certain number of sheep be allowed to graze on the reserve, the number also to be allotted by sheep men among themselves.
 It Is further stipulated by the com missioner that each applicant for graz ing permit must be citizen of the
