Burned to peath.

The tragic death by FIRE Of Mrs. Jacob
Lindal at Edinburgh on Friday. brings
many expressions Of sorrow and regret
among the citizens of this city, where she
for many years had made her home. Up
to about six months ago she was Miss
Bertha. Palmer, and until year or so
ago had followed the business of dress
maker, and as such had been, employed
and was favorably known in many of'our
families. She was married about six
months since to Jacob Lindal, who. is also
we'll known as former resident here,
and later in business at Edinburgh as a
general merchant. Several weeks since
Mr.. Lindal sold out his business there
and passed through the city, on his way
across the line looking for new location
and had returned again, but we have not
heard if he was at home on the day ofthe
fire.
Mrs. Lindal was a genial intelligent
woman, and the sympathy Of many
friends will be extended to the sorrowing
relatives. She leaves beside her husband
a father who lives near Hallson and two
brothers who formerly resided in this
city.
Mrs. -Bjorson who also lost her life was
friend of Mrs. Lindal and had been
living with her some time assisting in
sewing. She was also formerly a resi-
dent of this city, where she was known
before her marriage as Helga Johnson.
She left here about three years ago and
resided near Gardar since. Her father
died here and her mother married John
Arnason who lives about five miles
south of this city.

from proofs they have, that a wealthy
countryman who is interested in a lum-

The Manitoba colony has seen pretty

sums to assist them. While detained

obtaining jobs OF gardening and cleaning

several children in the crowd. A few

The Doukhobors were let go on their

having overruled the decision Of the local
officers. Their destination is California
and it is understood that President Hunt

The weather is the constant topic on
everybody's tongue. No one ever saw a
more beautiful spring in North Dakota,
and therefore no more beautiful any
where. Summer weather, without its
excess, has been ours for about three
weeks, and the only drawback has been
that it has been too pleasant to rain. The
ground however has not suffered as there
is ample moisture from the frost which at
this time is still about foot from the
surface. Rain however would be bene-
fetal in starting grass little more plenti-
fully and thus insure good crop of hay.
Many of the early sown wheat fields
already show green to the eye. Some
people are prophesying snow and frost
later, and perhaps it'may come, but this
is fine and enjoyable now at any rate.
