District Court.

Court convened in Washburn,
Tuesday at 2 p. M. Owing to the
judge not being able to get here,
due to the snow blockade, court
was adjourned by the clerk of
court until Wednesday at 2 p. M,
in hopes that the.judge would ar
rive, by that time. Most Of the
jurymen were present at the open
ing,o of court Tuesday. Judge Win
chester was unable to be present
owing to sickness, Judge Glaspell
of jamestown being called III for
this term. Word was received
from Jamestown Thursday morn.
ing from the Judge saying that it
was impossible for him to get to
Washburn until next Tuesday.
Court adjourned Thursday until
next Tuesday at 2 p. m.
o.
This makes an extra hardship
on some. of the jurymen who have
q long distance to come-some 70
miles.
There are five criminal actions
and two civil actions on the calen-
dar for this term. Most of the
iurymen returned home Thursday.
.. P. Herman, of Denhoff,
came over Thursday to attend
court, but returned home Friday.
He said that coming over he was
six hours in going II miles. One
can gain a good idea from this the
condition Of the roads.
Mr.. Willard Moore, Of Harvey
was a caller on the Leader Friday
and had his name added to our
subscription list. Mr. Moore said
that the snow was drifted and more
of it over his way than here. Some
loss of stock was reported.
Those who have reported the
loss of stock we note Luke Eskes,
between 20 and 30; j. Beck and
Go, IL; B. Dewet 25; Chas. Witt
mayer Of Square Butte creek 30.
There are some more whose names
we have failed to get. The loss in
in stock alone in this county will
foot up to a good many dollars.
Frank Filley is one Of the heav-
lest losers Of stock in the county
having lost something over 100
head in the recent storm, and in
the storm before this he lost quite
a number by the caving in Of his
sheds. The loss in the recent
storm together with his first loss
means the entire loss Of his band.

with presents, and appeals to those who
are so situated as to contribute in any
way to do so and thereby greatly assist
in a way for the caring of the $50 peo-
pie bereft of reason and confined within
those prison walls. Any kindly remem-
brance for the sufferers will be doubly
appreciated by the superintendent and
promptly acknowledged and any nstruc-
tons from any one forwarding donations
will be most faithfully carried out in de-
tail. No provision has ever been made
to cover the expense of Christmas cele-
bration for these helpless human beings
but the charity of our citizens in such a
cause can usually be depended upon.

say. But to me it means far more,
for memory has endeared it. On
that particular strip of prairie
land first herded sheep, and as
those animals are usually con-

not=7often busy. There it was that

bells and white anemOnes, weaving
them together with my fancies-
dreams of the time when l should
be famous. My air castles grew
apace; they. grew so great that
dare not describe them for fear
their immense proportions might
,startle you. Alas, how soon those
dreams of childhood fade! On that
meadow the flowers were the sweet
est and most beautiful; the straw
berries, ripened earliest and were
largest. In fact, to me the place
seems almost perfect.
Let others rejoice that all the
wild land is being settled, and
beautifulH fiower-covered prairies
turned into cultivated grain fields!
