81 am now at San Fernando. which
is the headquarters of the new Fourth
District of the Department of North

including 1000 native troops, more
than one-third as many men as the
regular army before the Spanish
American war. Captain Smith is still
with me; and is going to Japan on
leave in a few days. Mitchell is one

DR.. Cox on Wednesday visited Mr..
Coonrad, the injured smelterman at

recovering consciousness. The burns
on his legs are very severe and it is
feared the pain may prove too much
for him. If he survives the first shock
after fully regaining consciousness
there is hope he may recover, but it
will be weeks before he can resume
work.
c. r.. Nedrow, division superinten
dent of the Mo. Pac. was here yester-
day and examined Chas. L. Wood
cock and f. b. Lowe for conductors.
Both passed the examination success
fully but neither will take charge Of
the night crew which was recently put
on. Woodcock is in charge now but
will not take it permanently as it
would cause him to lose his road
right. 1t is probable that man will
be brought here from FIT. Scott.

The object is to send settlers to farm
the lands if the outlook is as good af-
ter examination as the owners are
now confident it Wal be.
Father Cieszynski has had long ex
perience in settling parties on from
tier lands in Minnesota, and his ad-
vice is taken for a great deal by those
who are acquainted with him. If it
is decided to recommend the lands in
the western part of Stutsman county
for settlement by friends of the Min

charge, it will no doubt result in get
ting quite settlement of new comers

near future, and also lead to the sales

CIGARETTE ;sIUB CAUSED FIRE
Al. Weideman Loses Separator Il
Fire Caused By Cigarette
Stub,

AL. Weideman lost his separator
Tuesday at noon, by fire. The crew
had gone to dinner a mile from the
machine. When noticed the separa-
tor was pretty generally ablaze. One
man rode over and with single horse
drew a wagon half loaded with fax
away from the separator. There were
between 40 and so bushels Of flax in
the wagon and both fax and wagon
were injured to quite an extent. The
separator was nearly new.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been the stub of cigarette
thrown carelessly in the straw by one
of the men. Had some one been near
the machine when the blaze started it
could undoubtedly have been put out.
There was no insurance on the outfit.
MI. Weideman will buy new sepa-
rator and resume threshing as soon as
nOSSible.

JHRESHERS WORKING LATE
WorkjRQ Long Hours and Charging
Increased Prices Per
Bushel.

Threshers are working late at night
and the machines are kept running
long after dark to make up for the de-
lay in getting flax threshed in the
early morning when the fiber is damp.
The prices have advanced in nearly
every case, and from 20 to 25 cents a
bushel is being charged for flax. At
this rate, with the good weather that
has prevailed of late, the machine
owners will make some money, to COM
pensate them for the losses in the last
few weeks of wet weather. Williams
and Joos have not advanced prices for
the services of their big machine,
which has been at work in the eastern
part of the county.

MISS tAkIN AWARDED OFFICE.
foster Ceuaty Election Contest Case
Decided BY the Supreme
Court.

Bismarck, Oct. l8-Supreme court
has handed down an opinion in the
case Of Eakin VS.. Campbell from Eos
ter county. This is an election con-
test case, in which Zerlina 8. Eakin,
: woman, contested the election OF /.
C. Campbell and on the trial OF the
case in Judge Glaspell's court she was
awarded the Office. The supreme
court holds that she was entitled to
the position and the following sylla-
, bus is filed:
ssTo secure a trial de novo in this
court in actions tried to the court
without jury under section $500,
Revised Codes, it is necessary that
the statement OF case settled shall in
fact contain all of the evidence offered
and proceedings had at the trial as
well as the specifications required by
said section. 1t is accordingly Held,
that the failure Of appellant to incor.
porate in the statement certain ex'
hibits which were offered in evidence
in the trial court precludes this court
from trying the case anew.
ssThis is an election contest. The
trial court found that the plaintiff
and contestant had majority OF the
votes cast upon the official precinct
return; further, that she also had
majority upon count Of the ballots
Of the only precinct in dispute. 1t Is
held that these findings support the
Judgment appealed from, which de-
clares the plaintiff to have been elect
ed and awards to her the office In dis
pute."
