following to the Fargo Forum:
Minot, N. D., May lS.-To The Fo-

ofthe land Office of this district, is still
here and will soon open law Office.
Mr.. DISCARD was the first register of
the land Office here, and I>was receiver.
We entered upon our duties in Octo.
Der, 1891. and held on until October,
1894. In 1897 Mr.. OlsRard was again
appointed register and held the office
for more than four years. But how
different we're these four years from
the three years We held down the chairs
of the Office from 81 to '94. To hold
down chairs was about all we had to do.
There was no business of any import
ance. The salary was a most meagre
one, and the fees were few and far
between. No settlers were coming in
then. The people here had no faith in
the country hereabouts. 1t was most
discouraging outlook. Today I had a
good long talk with my old partner in
misery and we laughed oyer the old
times. During the four years of Mr..
Olsgard's last term, the office was a
maximum one+and I am really glad
for the streak of good luck he has had
for he is an honest and deserving man
"a true and sincere friend.

began on Tuesday Of this week. For
the past four years the flag of the United

under it's powerful and directing govern.
ment conditions were changed from war
fare and anarchy to prosperous peace.
Foreign nations could scarcely realize
that the United States, whose title to
the island no nation could dispute, would
give up the possession of such valuable
land, purely in'the interests Of freedom
and humanity. The event is unparaI-

by ito action. has gained the wholesome

BADWRECK NEAR MINOT.
Number Four collided with Freight

Minot. N. D.. May 10, 19O2.-There
was bad wreck on the Great Northern
- miles west of Minot yesterday morn
ing, in which the engine on No. 4, the
east bound Great Northern flyer, from
the coast, was derailed, and three cars
of stock on the freight train which col.
lided with it were reduced to mince
meat. From accounts as they were re-
ceived here yesterday the freight which
was west bound, was struck when part
way up the hill west of Minot. these be-
ing steady grade there for several
miles,. The train wis therefore, cut in
two and the engine started Tor, PES Lac,
the next station wesA with lthe front
half of the train, it beink thS intention
to side track that portion a Des Laos,
and later return for the bSance. After
proceeding two and a ShaA miles the
collision occurred with No. y the en-
CINE of which was thrown from the
track. The crews Of the two\engines
jumped before the collision OCCURRED,
out the engineer pm tne 1relgnt tralA
reversed his engine before he jumped.
The freight engine was not thrown from
the track, and after the collision started
back down the grade full tilt, and after
gaining terrific speed in backing up the
two miles and half, the engine having
been reversed, crashed in to the rear
portion of the train which had been left
part way up the bill. Three cars of
stock were killed, the cars being re-
duced to kindling wood, and the ami
mails ground to small bits.
No information could be obtained as
to who was at fault. No. delayed II
hours, as it took long time to clear
away the wreckage. 1t was fortunate
thing that no one was seriously injured,
though one of the engineers will sport a
game ankle for some time to come.
