The storm this week had tendency
to drive large number of cattle from
the ranges into the settlements for shell
ter and feed. 1t was during the worst
of the storm "Wednesday morning that
bunch of G. A. Wittmeier's dogies
came rushing into town from Eight. Milo
creek, seeking protection from the in
clemency Of the weather. After arriv-
ing in town the buncl, separated, abont
dozen Of them finding their way to G..
w. Newron's residence. Nobody being
at home they proceeded to walk in and
make Themselves at home. They went
into the parlor, upset the center table,
broke lamp, pounded on the piano,
eat up the piano-coyer and window cur
taips, and was further holding high car
nival when they were discovered. The
reader can better imagine the condition
Of the room than we can describe it.

The many friends of L. II. Thursby,
at one time q banker aud cattle king in
McIIenry county will be sorry to read
the following from the Grand Forks
Plaindealer. Thursby had hosts Of
friends as long as his money lasted but
now it is different: "E. II. Thursby.
who has been slightly demented of late
and an occupant Of the poor farm, stray
ed away from that institution Sunday,
and all the way ia this city. 1t requires
constant attention at the farm to watch
him, and Dick Fadden, the superinten-
dent, has had his hands more than full
keeping track of the fellow. This morn
ing Sheriff Collins went over to the
Commercial hotel where Thursbv had
at one time been stopping and found
that he had arrived there about twelve
o'clock last night. He was taken in
hand and is now in the county Jail. He
will probably be taken back to the poor
farm"

The entertainment given last Monday
evening at Odd Fellows hall, under the
management Of Prof. f. r. Brownson,
was another successful affair, and fully
up to the standard of excellence already
established by the pupils Of the Willis
ton schools in former exhibitions. The
house was literally packed, and many Of
the spectators were obliged to stand and
filled every foot OF available space. The
performance, from start to finish was
rendered without break, and was re-
ceiyed with frequent aud hearty APP
parse, demonstrating the deep interest
in and the thorough appreciation of the
children's efforts felt by every one pres
ent. Every participant in the exercises
acted so well his or her part that any
special mention ofindividual effort would
look like partialitv. The program was a
choice one, and the admirable rendition
Of it a most happy termination Of the
winter term Of school,

resulted very satisfactorily to at least a
portion of the candidates. The grentest
interest seemed to center in the offices
Of marshal, and trustee for the second

was put up, and in which Fred J. Smith
pulled out ahead of Mr.. Fngan for

the contest between l.. V. Coulter

of cleaning out the "kid' by very
handsome majority, but the sequel

Aloud Explosion.

All Marietta was startled about 5
o'clock last evening by a tremendous
explosion which occurred at the
Forbes Diastase Company's works,
tast of the Union Depot Scores of
people FASTENED to the scene, suppos-
ing thatthere had been an explosion
of chemicals and expecting to behold
the effects of some dreadful catastro-
phe.
Mr. Buell. the owner Of the plant, had
taken betwee none and two pounds of
what is usually termed flash light
POWDER used by photographers, out
into the yard near the buildings and
had touched it OFF. The explosion that
followed was the cause of the alarm.
1t was sufficient force to break "A
panes of glass out of the windows of
the building, beside shattering window
glass in the Knox-Savage building
No one was hurt The loudness and
force of the explosion were much
greater than Mr.. Buell. expected. He
took that method of getting rid of
some of the flash light powder that he
did not need.
