an ovation. Things like that would
tend to show that such a man would
make a good officer.
Policeman Johnson who was ar
rested at Fargo for an alleged assault
on Attorney Reese, because the latter
stopped on the street to buzz a dining
room girl in the Waldorf hotel, has
been acquitted. The majesty of the
law has been indicated.
While hunting near Pcmbina yes
terday j. NJ. Chisholm found a heavy
post placed across the Northern Pa
cific track in such a way that it would
have derailed a train. He removed
the obstruction, and notified the au-
thorities. There is nothing to indi-
cate who the guilty parties may have
been.
A severe electrical storm, high wind
and heavy rain passed over Lisbon.
The storm in the central part of Sar-
gent county was especially severe. The
depot and tiathouse at Cogswell we're
blown down, a large barn neal Harlem
was wrecked and considerable stock
killed. Twenty or more windmills
and small buildings were destroyed
within a few miles.
Herald: Some of the wheat in the
vicinity Of Grand Forks is yielding
much better than was expected a few
weeks ago. Senator Murphy has
just finished threshing the wheat from
so acres, and the yield from this piece
was 1,4W bushels, being a little over
IL bushels per acre. After the eX-
tremely unfavorable weather this sum-
mer this is considered an exceptionally
good yield.
Williston Graphic: Colonel Louns-
berry, special land inspector, and VIM.
Mumby of Fargo, made Williston a
visit last Monday. The colonel is on
official business, and Mr.. Mumby is
enjoying a vacation. 1t is reported
that the colonel and William contem-
plate the establishment of q paper at
Buford, and all sorts of other rumors
are afoat as to what is going to be
done at Buford in the way of building
up a town at that historic spot. We
are glad to see a boom started for this
section of country, but our heart beats
with an increased volume of force for
the poor devil who attempts to embark
in a journalistic enterprise in this sec
ton of country in it's present status.
Never before in the history of the
valley have men for harvest work been
so scarce. The crop is thin, it Il
true, and could be easily handled by
fewer men than have formerly been
needed, but in spite Of this the grain
on thousands Of acres is lying I'M
shocked on the ground for want Of
men to handle it. In previous year;
Grand Forks has been the center fol
the distribution of harvest hell
through the districts north and west
and during the harvest season the
streets have been lined with men look
ing for work. This year not an idl
man can be found, and many of thu
farmers are becoming anxious lest thu
rains spoil the grain before it can b.
taken care of,
