month ago two men with horses and
wagon laden with provisions passed UP
Mill Creek and stopped at a cabin locat-
ed at the head of Pena Creek. A few days
later one of the men returned with the
rig, the other presumably remaining for a
hunting and fishing vacation.
Last Sunday Messrs. Hayes, Corbell and
others happened to pass that way and
stopped for chat with the stranger No
response was received to their knocks at
the door and they entered without invi-
tation. The cabin was found unoccupied.

The residents of that section believe
that the man met with foul play at the

shot himself while hunting in the wilds
of that region.

ACTION OF THE BOARD.
THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
lpon the return of the committee of the
Alliance to their room, the committee made
the following report:
10 the Board Of Directors Of the State
Farmers Alla Of Minnesota:
Gentlemen-The undersigned were ap-
pointed by you as committee to call upon
the newly elected governor of the state to
impress upon him the Importance of appoint
ing fair share of practical farmers on the
several official boards Of the state, and es-
peclal1y upon the board of railroad and
warehouse commissioners, which was pri-
marlly established and intended for the pro-
lection Of the farmers.
The governor received US with great cour-
tesy, but Informed us that he had already
appointed tC the vacancy on the board of
railroad and warehouse commissioners a
gentleman who was not farmer and had
no connection with the business Of agricul-
ture, and that he had made several other
appointments, including member of the
state prison board, which has charge Of the
Irvine factory.
we We're taken by surprise, for the gov
ernor had fixed o'clock p m. OF today to
near the views of the State Farmers ALI
ance upon these appointments, and then
proceeded to fill the most important places
at 10 o'clock Of the same day. and the SEN
ate had already confirmed them. 1t looked
TO us somewhat like hanging a man and
giving him a fair trial afterwards.
we think, however. our visit was product
I've, In other respects. of good results. The
governor assured us that he would bear
our request In mind, and that a majority Of
ms appolntees on the state board of equal
1zatton should be practical farmers. This
VIII be a great gain to the cause of good
government.
