The barn and crops of Lewellyn Dill
near FELTON,, Were destroyed by fire
last Monday. The fire had its origin
from an engine used to drive a corn
husking machine, and started in the
morning from sparks that settled on
an outbuilding. The residence was
saved, and Mr.. Dill had only small
insurance on his barn.

Cunning and TURNER'S.

Game was never more plenty, or
gunners more numerous than this sea-
son; and, it can be added, advertising
against cunning so general as it is now
about Milford.
A young man near Georgetown was
arrested for shooting before the law
expired, and was fined $3.50 by the
Game Association.
A party of city spOrtsmen are stop
ping at Slaughter Beach Hotel, and
Mr.. Reynolds is acting as guide for his
guests.
Some wonderful scores have been re-
ported as having been made; but only
a few have been substantiated by pro-
ducing the game.
The weather has been too warm for
good cunning, the green growth on
fields interfere with dog seeming the
game.
The first morning train over the
Delaware division of the P, b. & w.
railroad carried a large number OF
spOrimen and baggage car filled with
dogs. The first day of the season was
uneventful no accidents being reported
Never before have land owners anC
farmers advertised and posted theil

the case Of Samuel J. King asainst the
city, In which suit was brought On two
bonds amounting to $4,000, Of an issue Of
about $3.50, 000 Z.
The decision was adverse to the city
and the full text has just been received
BY City Attorney Lyons. The court says
IT would be unjust that cities should Be
improved at the expense Of strans4rs Hho
pay their money, relying upon the gopd-
faith OF the declaration made by the mu.
nicipal authorities. The court says:
I'VE are not greatly grieved that DUR

The suit grew out OF the default In the

brought suit in the United States court
at Madison The cfty's bonded indebted
ness was in a rather tangled mess and the
city attorneys endeavored to ger q favor

bonds at lower rate of interest and hav-s
ing them extended. This was done IN the
lower court, where Judge Bum directed
the jury to find for the city Ga tide
ground that the constitutional provision

Convention Representation.

The meeting of the republican state
committee here yesterday did not result
in the savage fight over representation
that had been expected. In the good old
North Dakota way most of the details
were settled before the session was held.
During the last campaign, in order to
keep various counties from knitting GER
tain candidates on the ticket, the state
committee passed a resolution basing the
representation for this years convention
on the lowest vote given any republican
candidate, with the exception of railway
commissioner. There was an element in
the committee which insisted that this
basis should be sustained.
& Another element, headed by the valley
counties. maintained that the resolution
was passed only as a bluff and that
fairness to republicans in all sections Of
the state demanded that the vote on pres
idential electors, or an average of the
vote on all candidates, should be the basis.
A conpro mise was finally effected basing
the represent alton for each county on an
average Of the highest and lowest vote
cast BY 1t for candidates on the republican
ticket. excepting presidential electors,
