LUND BROTHERS.
Repeat Their Experiences Here of Over
Year Ago in Nelson County.

The Lund brothers, who it will be re-
membered had a good deal of trouble
last winter at Dresden about fixing up
their board bills and the paying of
sundry accounts run during the fall
while operating threshing rig, have
come to grief over in Nelson county,
where according to report, they have
been trying to run the same kind of skin
game on the folks at Michigan City,
They have been running a threshing rig
in that county all fall and the crew,
finding how hopeless their chance Of
getting money was becoming, attached
the machine. The Lund brothers have
also become entangled in legal proceed
ings with several of the business men
there and seem to be in fair way to
spending the balance of the winter in
the Nelson county Jail. People here
have no sympathy for the Lunds in their
present predicament and it Is to be
hoped the cases against them will be
pushed as fast as the slow process of
law will allow, making them pay every
cent they owe. then perhaps they will
get out of the country, and we hope stay
out. Such characters as the Lunds,
Beckett and Mcintyre are what give the
localities they infest such bad name
among outsiders.

A private letter from VIM. O'Reilly,
one of the early day Cavalier county
school teachers, and former resident
of Langdon, who left here some four
years ago on health seeking trip to
New Mexico, states that he has new
lease of life, and that his old friends

fellow that was unable to speak above
whisper when he left here. Besides
having regained his health he is getting
along nicely in this worlds goods. being
engaged in running post Office and
store at Fresual, N. Mex. He says that
as Mckinley appears to have neglected
to do his duty for the g. o. p., in the
Sacramento mountain country the ad-

cratic postmaster at Fresnal who will
not contribute 'cinco centavos" to the
Hanna corruption barrel for the repub-
lican campaign in Ohio.

BAD HAIL LOSS.
It Shows the Wahpeton Company Up in
Very Bad Light.

On Monday of this week Attorney
Doughty mailed to Wahpeton the neces-
sary papers to bring action against the
Red River Valley Hail Insurance Co.,
to recover the sum of s400, the sum of
an adjusted loss by hail sustained by
James McGauvran, of Loan township,
who is policy holder in the company.
There is, we understand, other relief
demand in the complaint, asking for
the cancellation Of the charter, which
allows the company to do business
in the state. AS his neighbors
know, McGsuvran suffered total loss
by hail on quite q large acreage
of his crop in the summer of 1893. This
was estimated by the company's adjuster
to amount to $4O0, but McGauvran, hav-
ing learned that it was likely that the
company's losses this season would put
them out of business, and wanting to
get in on the ground floor, offered to
settle for half the amount 5000. This
was agreed to, but repeated demands
upon them for settlement failed to
bring q reply. Finally McGauvran
placed the case with Attorney Doughty.
who the company have informed that the
McGsuvran clam had been filed and
would be settled pro ratra-the same as
the company's other losses. This result
ed in an action being taken as outlined
above. From the facts ss noted the con-
clusion Is arrived at that the Red River
Valley Company is on its last legs
and we give the above incident this
amount publicity in order that the many
policy. holders in this county may
govern themselves accordingly.

STRANGE SUICIDE.
Young Joseph Bowman Blows Out
His Brains.


The suicide of Joseph Bowman at
noon yesterday is one Of the most mys-
FERROUS tragedies that has occurred
here in years. Bowman was but ~
years of age. and was apparently
person Of light heart. He was en-
ployed as assistant In the stereotyping
department of the "Record-Union,'
and was a young man of CHEEKY dispo-
sition, who seemed to have not a care
or burden in life.
Deceased had worked all through
Friday night and went to his home at
242T street, early yesterday morning
In his usual happy mood. He did not
retire, however, but remained about
the house during the forenoon. His
sdster-who kept house for her two
brothersenoticed nothing unusual in
his manner whatever.
Shortly after II o'clock Bowman,
who was then in the house, suddenly
produced a pistol and saying GOOD
by to his sister and the young woman
employed in the house, placed the
pistol to his head, just behind the right
ear, and before his sister could inter-
fere, he sent a bullet crashing through
his brain and fell to the floor dead.
So far as could be learned yesterday,
the house, no reason could be assigned
for the young mans rash act. He
leaves besides his sister, three brothers,
one of whom resides here, one in Los
Angeles and one in Spokane, Wash.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and

Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
lndig estiOn.
The national disease OF Americans is
indigestion or in its chronic FORM dys-
pepsia, and for the very reason that it
IS SO common many people neglect talk
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trifiing stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact. indigestion lays the
foundation for many incurable dis
eases. No person With a vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall victim TO
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stom-
achs are out of gear; weary, languid,
faded out women owe their condition
to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
Is afflicted with weak digestion 1t is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims to
be cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as a
score of other troubles, when in fact, as
Dr. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable. and moreover,
this remedy is not a patent medicine,
but it is scientific combination of pure
pepsin (free from animal matter), vege-
table essences, fruit salts and bismuth.

apparently excellent health.
Mr.. Hewes went to Sacramento City

so lacked only a few days OF being
81 years old at the time of his death.
When but a very young man he went
to Illinois, and after completing his
education he began teaching school;
but he had pursued that profession only
about two years when the Civil war
broke out. In 1861 he enlisted as a
private in Company F of the Eighth
Illinois Cavalry, and served until the
close of the war. He distinguished
himself by bravery on several ocea-
sions. He was detailed in a squad OF
ten men at one time to do some scout
ing. The squad became involved in a
brisk encounter with a small Confed-
crate force. During the engagement
Mr. Hewes became separated from his
companions. but he managed to cap
ture and march eight prisoners into
camp. For his signal act of strategy
and bravery he was made Corporal OF
his company and but for his compare
tive youth. would have received higher
honors. He was afterward promoted
to the position Of Sergeant tor some

In 1867 Mr. Hewes was married in
Illinois to Miss Frances McWhorter OF
Wisconsin, and Immediately left for
California on a wedding trip, arriving
t in Dixon. Solano County, in 1868. About
twenty-one years ago Mr.. Hewes with
his family moved to Ophir in this
county. where he has resided ever
since. In 1882 his wife died. leaving
to his charge and protection a family
of five young children, all OF whom
survive him.
Mr.. Hewes was prominent in Placer

prominence and trust He served as
Justice of the Peace for several years,
then as Deputy County Assessor. and
in 1890 was elected a. member of the
Placer County Board of Supervisors,
which position he held for four years.
At the time of his death he was one
Of the directors of the well-known firm
of the A. s. Hopkins WOODWARD Com
pany Of Sacramento.
Mr.. Hewes was genial warm heart
ed neighbor and friend and kind and
affectionate father. He was a man Of
more than ordinary ability and pos
sessed many versatile qualifications.

Christmas day was more generally
observed at the churches this year than
for many years past, because the fes-
tival fell on the Sabbath day. Coming
as it did on Sunday, there was little to
be seen on the streets or public places
to attract attention or indicate that it
was the day of all days among Chris
tan people the world over. But If
Sacramento was quiet 1t was also hap
py. IF there was any family or individ-
ua1 who was not made to feel that
Christmas is something more than a
name. it is because of no fault of the
charitable organizations. Every effort
was made to reach those who were not
able to celebrate Christmas of their
own account OF course, Christmas
was a day Of great rejoicing among
the children. Santa Claus was up
bright and early, and the little ones
who had been for weeks past laying
plans to surprise the good friend in
the act Of filing their stockings tum-
b1ed out Of bed long before daylight,
only to find that the jolly old fellow
had already made his rounds and de-
partedafor his mysterious abode.
