to-hand fight for possession of the
county treasurer's office took place at
the courthouse yesterday morning be-
tween the forces of a. L. Smith, re-
publican, and George Mudgett, demo-

early yesterday morning, locking all
the doors. Mudgett jumped in
through the window and let in his
deputies. He then tried 10 enter the
treasurer's private office. A scuffle
resulted, during which the vault was
locked, Smiths men holding the keys.
Both men are now camping in the
offices, each with full force of dep
mites. AIudgett was the only demo-
cratic county officer elected last No
vember, claiming II plurality over
Smith. The republicans appealed and

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

day afternoon was that in which
the union constituted it's frstlife
member in the state union. Ex-
tracts were read from the last
annual address of the state pres
ident, the last one beiug read by
Mrs. Cooper, who, before re-
suming her seat was detained by
the leader who said in part:
"Dear Sister, we think we have
found fitting and satisfactory
medium through which to ex-
press to you. to the public, and
to the state union, the sincere ap-
probation which the union feels
for your faithful five years ser
vice as it's president. You are
familiar with the fact that this is
a way which our mother national
takes of paying tribute to her
honored ones at each annual har-
vest home gathering. We fully
believe in all her ways and so we
gladly follow in her footsteps:
and therefore take pleasure In
presentingtoyou on behalf ofour
membership this certificate for a
life membership in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of
North Dakota. . The union then
gave the Chautauqua salute, the
first time it had ever conferred
either Of these honors upon one

as a complete surprise to the re-
cipient, as it was intended to be,
and her thanks we're expressed

Wanted a Mortgage.

John w. Dwight, who owns
the second largest wheat farm
in North Dakota, who votes in
Dryden, N. Y, but who spends
most of his time in New York,
city, was once a dealer in farm
lands in North Dakota. He tells
this story of a sale of a quarter
section to Scandinavian, says
the New York Times. When
the agreement had been made
the buyer said to him in choice
Swedish dialect:
wal, Aye tank we go up to the
voltage and Aye get mortgage. :"
"All right, replied Mr.
Dwight, "we'll go to the notary's
office and fix the papers but what
you want is a deed, not a mort
gage
':No," replied the man from
Sweden, '.Aye tank Aye skel
have mortagage. y
"No, no." insisted Dwight.
"You don't want anything to do
with a mortgage. It's the deed
you want, to show that the
property is yours. Z
Again the Swede made the
same reply: "Aye tank Aye
skle have mortgage on land"
Nothing would convince him
and when they reached the
notary's Office, the buyer insist
ed that he must '.have mort
gage
"Why do you want a mort
gage?" the notary asked. ''Don't
YOU understand that when you
buy a piece Of property you get a
deed?"
The Swede enlightened them
in these words:
"Val, one time Aye buy me
piece of land. Aye got a deed.
Bimeby mother feller he come
along with mortgage and he take
land. Now, by hal, Aye ske]
have mortgage myself!'

Insane Stranger With Drawn
Revolver Made Them
Follow Him.

Grand Fork, N. D., Nov. -.
Some half-cracked roustabout
who would pass as a disciple Of
Pat Grove, created some excite
ment a few miles south of the
city. Two sons of Robert
Reeves, George, aged IA, and
Charles, aged Is, were working
at the barn whena stranger ap-
peared and Withdrawn revolver
ordered them to follow him with
out a word or he would shoot
their heads off 4.
The two lads were frightened
and obeyed the orders without
protest. Their captOr led them
towards the river and wandered
through the woods along the
river bank till about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, when one of the
river steamers happened to pass
on it's way to Grand Forks. This
seemed to attract the attention
of the kidnapper and without
word he left the boys to follow
their own Wills and disappeared
IN the bushes.
The boys made their way out
of the timber, and as soonas they
reached the prairie recognized
their surroundings and headed
for home. Mrs. Reeves came to
the city yesterday and warrant
was sworn out for the stranger.
He is described by the boys as a
tall dark individual about 5 feet
10 inches in height. He wore a
dark suit of rather old clothes.
and soft brown felt hat, and
had a two-days growth of beard
on his face.
It is thought by authorities
that the man is insane, and
had been reading an ac-
count of the Cudahy abduction
case, which worked on his mind
till he came to the conclusion he
would try his hand. Descrip
ton have been sent in all direc-
tions in the hope that he may be
captured.

Miners Travel Across q Wild River
on a Thread.
Mcn Who Use the "Sky Trolley" I'm
Western Pennsylvania Laugh at
What Strangers Call the Perils
of Their Daily Trip.

Sky ferries are probably unknown n to
country than those of the Youghio-
gheny river valley, In western Penn
sylvania.
The Youghiogheny river is the lar
gest tributary of the Monongahela, and
although only navigable for about six
or eight miles of it's length above its
mouth at Mckeesport, where it emp
ties into the Monongahela, it is n
most important stream, as along its
banks are situated the great Pennsyl-
yania coling coal fields.
The Youghiogheny is a brawling,
rough stream. that tumbies over rocks
most of its way from its source away
up in the Blue Ridge mountains of
southern Pennsylvania to its mouth at
Mckeesport.
Rolling along through the mountain
passes. nature has not always been
kind enough to furnish a town site at
the same point where the mouth of u

quently necessary for the hundreds of
miners who work in the mines along
the river TO seek habitations on the
opposite side of the stream from the
coal works.
This is where the ''sky ferry" comes
in handy, says the Philadelphia Press.
Nothing ever disturbs the ferries.
High water never reaches them. and
when the ice goes out in the Dare
Devil Iough," as the stream is locally
known (it is pronounced "iock," by
the way. the sky ferry" carries its
passengers high and dry above all
danger.
There are number of these ferries
along the river.
The first one built was at Greenock.
about six miles south of Mckeesport.
The river is about $50 yards wide at
this point and the nature of the ground
and the financial status of the resi-

dents of Greenock both prohibited the
erection of a substantial bridge.
In this emergency two geniuses of
the little mining hamlet, W. II. Heath
and +. +. Cloman, solved the problem
OF ali-the-year-around transportation
for the Greenock people over and back
across the Youghioghcny river.
They built the first SKY ferry" and
since then the scheme has been adopt
ed by a DOZEN or more mining towns
on the river.
The ferries are purely cooperative
affairs.
To become a member of the company
owning and operating ferry requires
membership fee of two dollars.
Upon the payment of this sum the APP
plicant for membership in the com
pany is furnished with a key, or with
several keys, for his family. if he needs
them. Until the trap door leading to
the platform on either bank of the
river is opened with this key passen-
gers are unaDl 10 Teacn tis cage III
which the passage from one side of
the river to the other is effected.
A small windlass, in the cage, en-
ables the passenger to grind himself
along the wire if the cage fails to make
the run all the way across the river on
gravity. A similar windlass is proyid-
ed on the platform at each side of the
river to draw the cage over if it
chances to be on the opposite side
when an intending passenger climbs
the steps to the cage platform.
These ferries have now been in use
for a number of years and are the
most popular form of communication
between the opposite banks of the
brawling Yough.
No accidents have ever occurred, and

suspended 100 feet or more above the
swiftly rushing Youghiogheny.
