Elmer Oistad, the oldest child of
Mrs. M. n Oistad, met with seri-
Gus accident Monday afternoon.
The boy was coasting in the vicinity
of the Walker school house, and as
he and some other boys were coming
down the walk on a hand sled another
boy threw snow in their faces, blind
them for minute, during which
time the sled went off the sidewalk
into a deep ditch. Elmer suffered a
severe fracture of the left leg, just be-
low the knee, producing compound
fracture of a very bad kind. The
unfortunate boy was taken to his
home, and Doctor Spears was called
in and reset the member. He is. do
ing nicely, and is resting easy.

der Direction of the United
States Court.

The hearing on the application for
receiver of the Bayfield, Lumber
company and the Bayfield,, Superior
and Minneapolis railroad company,
of which John A. Rice, of Waukesha,
is the head, came before the United
States Court at Madison last week.
The petition upon which the appli-
cation was based was made by
Thomas Bates, of Evanston, Illinois.
Bates has some stock in the enter.
prise, which is the same little six
miles which Mr.. Sabin is trying to
get thirty thousand dollars of bonds
out of. It will be remembered that
Sabin held up old man Rice for the
revenues which were needed to build
the road, and that Rice finally 90,
control He has been operating the
road ever since the completion. The
ground on which a receiver was ask
ed was that the affairs of the COM
panies, which are formed Of the
same persons, are in a chaotic con-
dition. out the court remarked that
they would probably become still
nore chaotic in the hands of a re-
ceiver. The denial of the motion
was on the ground that the plaintiff
did not have sufficient interest and
that it was not shown that he did
not have ample protectionin the law.

appears that Tim. B. Keefe, former
ly Of this city, is having little
trouble over dog that disappeared.
The dispatch says that the author
tiles at Mitchell, S. D., are making
an effort to secure Mr. Keefe, who is
now in DEBORAH, Iowa, on the charge
of stealing dog last fall. Extra
diction papers were asked from the
governor of Iowa and granted and
Mr.. Keefe was arrested, but before
the officer could get away with MIN
writ of habeas corpus was served
on the sheriff aud in the hearing held
later the writ was sustained and
Mr. Keefe was released. Something
has been heard here regarding the
affair, as it was claimed that the
dog, which was very valuable one,
was shipped to this city. Whether
orEnot it was the same dog has never
been determined definitely. but the
South Dakota people were hot after
the dog that came here. Mr.. Keefe
shipped splendid hunting dog to a
friend in this city last fall, and it is
claimed that this is the animal in
question. The dog did not remain
here long, as hunter lost him in
the woods.
