Under Failing Slate
ED. O'BRIEN INJURED At GLENDALE
Mckenzie the Man who Was Indicted
by the Grand Jury for Burglary
and Was Afterwards
Released.
[From Fridays Daily.]

[From Fridays Daily.]
Henry Howells, of the Ottumwa fire
department, received telegram this
afternoon containing the information
that John Mckenzie was killed at Hite-
man today. The telegram did not
state the time or the manner of his
death.
1t will be remembered that some
time last winter, Mckenzie was indicted
by the grand jury of this county on
the charge of breaking and entering the
store of the Phillips Fuel company, in
Fairview. Mckenzie had always borne
a good reputation prior to that time,
and the action Of the grand jury was
surprise to his friends. Mckenzie
claimed that he was under the influence
of liquor at the time, and was not ac-
countable for his actions. This view
of the case was taken by his friends,
and they prepared a petition asking the
clemency of the court. which was fl
nally extended and Mckenzie released.
The matter created quite feeling
among the people of Fairview, some Of
whom thought him guilty and others
that he was led into wrong doing by a
| companion. The court took into con-
sideration the fact that he had always
borne good reputation, was man of
family and the further fact that his
friends had interested themselves
enough in his case to secure the sigma
lures of great number of people who
had known him for years.
In the case of John Scarlet VS.. Viola
Scarlet, petition for divorce in which
the plaintiff was granted an annul-
ment of his marriage to defendant, an
amendment has been fled by the de-
PENDANT asking the custody of the
child Cora, four years of age. In sup
port of the same the defendant files af-
fidavits from different people acquaint-
ed with the married life of plaintiff
and defendant. Mrs. Scarlet AYERS that
the divorce was procured on grounds
that We're not true and without her
knowledge. She further says that the
plaintiff forcibly abducted the child on
or about October 10, 1899, and that he
4 is not fit person to have the custody
of it. That the confinement to which
the child is subjected is injurious to its
health. She prays the court to make
an order granting her the custody of
the child and is willing to let the di-
vorce decree stand.

Sheriff Shaw and DIR. Lindsey re-
turned Monday evening Of last week
from the Cruise ranch, where, as re-
ported in our last issue, one Wilson
had been severely cut by another
cowboy, one Rodgers. Wilson's
wounds did not prove as serious as
at first seemed probable, and as he
refused to prosecute his assailant the
affair vas dropped. From all ac-
counts the attack was the outcome
OF a drunk and is entirely pardoned
by Wilson.
For the information of persons in
quiring why the streets and alleys

stated that orders for the removal OF

office, but will be sent to all owners
or occupants, without Partially, az
soon us the frost is sufficiently out of
the ground to admit Of thorough
work being done. 1t is hoped that
all good citizens will cooperate with
the health officer in his attempt to
improve the sanitary condition Of
Lewistown, thus rendering it a still
more inviting place OF residence.
While the citizens OF Lewistown
have good reason to complain he
cause of the late arrival Of the Great
Falls mail during the past two
months, as the coach has not been on
time since Feb. / and often a full day
behind. exception should be made in
the present instance, for the high
water compels the stage to travel
many more miles than ordinarily and
over very bad roads. 1t is hoped,
however, that the company WILSON
be able to get within speaking dis
lance OF its schedule. Surely Lewis
town people have manifested more
patience than ever before under SINH
lar circumstances, but there is aliInit
to all things.

MIR. GORDER's DEPARTURE.

Oakes Republican.
The Odd Fellows and Woodmen
lodges, together with their auxili-
ary orders, met at the society hall
lse't Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of bidding Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
der farewell.
There were about two hundred
people present, many of whom
were from the country.
About 9 o'clock Rev. Bishop
called the assembly to order. and
made quite a lengthy address on
the subject of friends, neighbors
and fraternity. at the close Of
which he presented Mrs. Gorder a
handsome lamp and Mr.. Gorder a
substantial oak rocker, the gifts of
the combined assemblage.
Mr.. Gorder took the floor in re-
ply to Mr.. Bishop and thanked the
people for this expression of their
feeling. Mr., Gorder spoke quite
at length on the feeling of regret
which he and the family had on
pulling up and moving from here,
where they have lived far the past
sixteen years. Only those who
have had the experience can realize
what it is to pull down a home
that one has builded up with the
intent to make it permanent
dwelling place. To leave COM
munity where one knows every
body intimately, their temperament
and personal peculiarities and go
among strangers to build another
home. Mr.. Gorder's remarks were
full Of feeling, and greatly increas-
ed the regret which the audience
felt for the departure of this ex-
cellent family from our midst.
The ladies served coffee, cake
and sandwiches for refreshment,
and the party dispersed about mid
night with a hearty god-speed for
Mr.. and Mrs. Gorder.

THE MILL DESTROYED,
The Devils Lake Roller Mill Consumed
by Fire Early Wednesday
Morning.

Loss, But Expects to Rebuild
at Once.

At.about 2:30 o'clock Wednesday
morning fire was discovered issu-
ing from the engine room of A. p.
Hanson's roller mill, and in less
than two hours the structure was in
ashes. Mr.. Hanson was COM
PEELED to run the mill until about
10 o'clock Tuesday night to fill an
order for carload shipment of
flour, and the fire undoubtedly was
caused by an overheated smoke
stack.
The alarm wa. promptly sound
ed by George Buska, boarder at
the Tower House, whose room
window faces the back of the mill,
where the fire started, but it was
fully half an hour before the two
streams of water from the fire en-
CINE began to play upon the flames.
Although the delay was unusually
long, the firemen had tn, flames
under control, after Il gallant fight
of half an hour. and would have
saved the mill had not the safety
plug in the fire engine blown out.

down of the apparatus. Nothing
now could check the rapid spread

ately veered from northeast tc
southeast. In this direction there
were no buildings in close prox.
unity to the mill, and the hanc
pump was sufficient to prevent the
spread of the flames.
There were 1000 bushels OF
wheat in the mill at the time o1
the fire, portion of which can be
saved. Nearly all the second grade
flour was carried out, but large
portion of the hrst-class grade was
consumed.
