Sheriff Farrow this week brought owe,
man named Austin who lives nea,
Mountain to serve in the county Jail
Austin was sued at last court by one
Solely for alienation of affections of hi:
wife and got damages for two or three
hundred dollars. Thus far Austin ha:
neglected to pay the damages given by
the jury, and warrant for his confine
ment in Jail is the result. A crimina
charge against Austin for the same crime
was also on the calendar at last cour,
term, but it was not tried.
The second murder of the season in

soldier aged about IS years, got into an
ialtercation with mulatto named Dor.
sey employed in Dan Sullivan's saloon
McCabe threw a glass at the negro, who
then went away into back room. Later
as McCabe was leaving Dorsey ran up
behind him with a stick of wood and
smashed his skull. Dorsey was arrested
and is now in Jail at Crookston.
The literary and Evolutionary enter
ment at Kittson Hall on Tuesday even.
ing by Misses Josephine Bonaparte Rice
and Ida May Paulson was fairly we'll at
tended considering the weather. Both
ladies are good in their specialties. Miss
Bonaparte is one of the best elocutionists
we have had here and Miss Paulson's
voice is not only musical but remarkable
in its similarity to male voice. In the
middle register it is remarkably clear
and sweet. She is also very excellent
pianist.
The last legislature made an appro.
preparation to provide for the holding Of
twenty-five farmers institutes in the state
this winter. Professor E. E. Kaufman
of the agricultural college was named as
director and is now arranging for series
of institutes. The communities wanting
them must provide hall, heated and
lighted, and the speakers will be furnish
ed and paid from the appropriation. The
best papers will bepublished in pamphlet
form and distributed to all who attend
and leave their addresses.
We notice that as yet our fruit farmers
have neglected to harvest the orange and
banana crop. No doubt many are letting
these tender fruits remain on the trees
on account of the exceptionally fine fall;
but we want to warn our readers and
remind them of the fate of our neighbors
in Florida, Louisiana and Texas last sea-
son and therefore not to depend too long
on this warm weather. We are liable to
have killing frost almost any time now,
though if not too heavy, vegetables and
field crops are comparatively safe-at
this time.
w. c. Short moved into his new and
elegant residence this week and ate his
Thanksgiving dinner there with more
than usual reason for thankfulness, for it
was a big job to run his store in the busy
season and at the same time put in ten
hours day working at hard labor house
building. However Mr.. Short has.S the
satisfaction Of knowing that he has a
