NORTH DAKOTA NEWS


Chief Murphy, Of Moorhead, came to
Fargo and captured VIM. Gray, want
ed for burglary. Before they got
across the river Gray shot Murphy
and attempted to escape, but was
himself shot and taken to Jail. In
searching him lot Of jewelry, in adj
dition to burglars tools was found on
his person. Among the articles were
some rings, stolen week ago, when
the Office of Undertaken Rice was enc
tered. The man arrested with Gray
is Ed Briggs, of st. Cloud. He denies
completely in the robbery, but states
that he heard the burglary planned.
Briggs is under indictment for grand
larceny in Benton county, Minnesota,
and the officials will be here for him.

things, three blank forms of will which
he is at liberty to fill out at his leisure.
In a majority of cases, however, he pays
no attention to this pocketbook and
goes into battle with his will still I'M
made. After he has been hit by bull
let and begins to realize that his
chances of getting home are small, the
soldier begins to think more carefully
of the loved ones left behind him and
of the provisions he has made for their
comfort. AS result many queer and
pathetic wills have been found upon
the bodies of dead soldiers, and in every
case the wishes of the testator have
been respected. During the soudan
campaign of 1854 the body of one SOL
der was found on the battlefield of Ell
Teb, who, before death, had scrawled
with the end of lead bullet on the in
side of his helmet, the words: "All to
my wife," When an English army in
vaded Afghanistan one soldier was
caught while doing scout duty and shot
down when none of his comrades were
in sight. Weeks afterwards his body
was found lying before tall rock on
which he had written in letters of
blood: II want all to go to mother"
In both cases the war department held
the wills to be valid, and saw that the
proper distribution of the property
was made.

Four of the twelve saloons, at Man

functions under the prohibition law.
Their supplies were seized and are
now in the possession of officers. The

Luckily the fire was extinguished be-

Freaks Of Explosions.

Gunpowder explosions have one re-
markable feature. The bodies Of per-
sons killed in such an accident are
always found without clothing, but
frequently one foot will have the shoe
on. This is true Of horses also. II
one of the feet is in the air and an
other on the ground, the shoe will
be found torn from the foot that was
on the ground, and not from the
other. When men are killed in pow
der explosions the foot that happened
to be in the air when the shock came
will be found wearing the shoe, while
the other foot will be bare.

Bid For Russian Familles.

G. G. Young. of Dickinson, one of
the prominent members of the Rus
sian immigration Association of North
Dakota, was in conference with
Northern Pacific officials, at st. Paul,
regarding land for the settlement of
5000 Russian families which are ex-
pected to arrive in Montreal during
the early spring. Representatives of
the proposed immigrants will reach
Montreal Jan. 6 and arrange for the
settlement of the Russians. The Cam
adam Pacific is understood to be maxi
ing strong bid for the colonists for
settlement in Manitoba and the Can
adian northwest. The colony is of
Teutonic extraction, different from
those who were placed on Canadian
lands some time ago.

Responsibility of a Railroad.

The responsibility of q railroad in
the care of drunken patrons will be
settled in the case of Haug VS.. the
Great Northern. Haug, while intox-
icated, got on the wrong train and
was put off at Kelso. A little later
the agent wanted to close up the de-
pot and made Haug get out in ter
rible blizzard, which was raging.
Haug evidently attempted to walk to
Hillsboro, as he was found frozen to
death next morning between Kelso
and the county seat. Mrs. Haug
brought an action for damages. The
railroad won out and the appeal was
taken.

A BrayeGirl.

Claudine Chenery, the little daugh-
ter of o. c. Chenery, of jamestown,
had thrilling experience on the
James river recently. In company
with another little girl, she went to
the river and had started to walk on
the ice, when it gave way, letting her
into the river. She could not get out
without assistance, and as the water
was deep, would have drowned had
not Jenie Daley, girl of IA, hap
pened along. Miss Daley jumped into
the icy water, brought the little girl
to the shore and took her to neigh
bors. The action of the icemen in not
putting a fence around the place
where the ice was taken out, is severe
ly criticised by people generally.

whatever Of the source of their amelio-
ration.
Bishop Goesbriand's dearest wish was
to die poor man and among the poor.
This is no very easy wish to crafty for
rich man who is not q spendthrift.
But the bishop went about his work
with judgment and activity and before
he was ready to retire into his orphan
asylum he had given away everything
to worthy religious or charitable enter
prises. The orphan asylum, which was
created by him, was his pet charity. He
solicited many of the funds which
built it, but most of them were con-
tributed from his own private fortune.
When he began to feel the stress of age
he retired into his beloved institution
an asylum for him in every sense of the
word.
Many pretty instances are related of
his truly Christian feeling and his great
humility. "Sister Joseph" he said one
day, "where do you place my name in
your regular report of the inmates of
the orphanage? Am classed with the
children?" When the sister informed
him that he was numbered among the
''old people" he replied: Hereafter
count me as among the orphans. am
one of them"
HE was the most remarkably self
sacrificing man ever knew" said the
mother superior of the Providence or
phan asylum to reporter. During
his stay here could not fail to notice
many little things that would illustrate
his character. His greatest desire was
to make the children happy. He was
extremely humble, and aside from the
small change he left in his desk, his
earthly possessions consisted Of his
clothing, and can assure you his ward
robe was scanty and poor at that.
"When his body was taken from the
asylum to the cathedral the little ones
followed it. Now that he is gone some
of them will come to me with tears in
their eyes and ask when he will come.
back to them. One day Father CAM
peau, of Essex, died and left $500 to the
orphanage. When the check was
brought to the bishop he said:
Father Campeau has been very
good and there are others who will fol-
low his example, but when die will
not be able to leave them anything. I
don't intend to have anything to leave.
I am going to die poor man."
This great philanthropist was born
in Brittany, France. Both Of his
parents were noble.
