When f,ews: John Babuiak

W,itfss.n f|ews: John Babuiak
a Russian farmer. living dightee1l
miles northeast of this city was
thrown from wagon loaded with
coal and instantly killed when
about two miles FROM town shortly
after 2 O'Clock p. m. Tuesday. The
particulars of the accident will
never be known. He had started
home with load of coal, and it is
possible that the wagon struck a
stone, knocking him off in front
and the wheel passed over his
head killing him instantly. A
farmer living nearby caught the
team and brought the news to
town. Deputy Sheriff Cotton and
DIR. Thompson went to the scene
Of the accident and concluded that
an inquest waS unnecessary. The
body was stretched across the road
the wagon wheel having passed
across the face and mutilated it.
cutting off the nose and upper lin.
exposing the teeth. Death was
there. No fracture of the skull
was visible, but it is probable that
a piece of the frozen earth had
been forced through the skull from
the under side. The remains were
inferred in the Catholi, cemetery
at Bismarck. Deceased leaves a
wife and large family.

The busy season Of the farmer
is at hand, and the prospects in
this vicinity is that large acre
age will be seeded this year. The
acreage of flax will be larger than
last year, as many Of tie new set
tiers who are moving in will break
on their land and SOW flax. A large
acreage of corn will also be plant
ed. The farmer should see to it
that his seed grain is Of the best
and free from all foul seed. The
great trouble with this country in
the past is that it has been only
partly farmed, weeds have been
allowed to thrive and no attention
paid to the quality or kind of seed
used. During the past TWO or
three years study has been made
of seed conditions and now only
good. healthy seed is sown. A
few years ago nothing was known
regarding the flax, disease. A
method Of treat has been studied
out and if the farmer uses care he
will be in no danger from the dis
ease. An ounce Of prevention is
betterthan a pound Of cure.
Henry Rohrer is having a well
put down near his residence.

A Chinese Printer.

! Editor Wells, of the Litchvill,
Bulletin, during his visit t.
the coast, describes his visit to ;
Chinese printing Office as follows
We called on Ah Sin Lin, edito
and proprietor of The Chinese
Daily Paper and he welcomed us
with such warmth, we all put our
hands on our pocket books. Bur
Ah Sin was better than he looked
He showed US through his prin,
shop, and very good one too, f;
Cranston cylinder and two old
style Gordons were in the press
department His COMPOSING
rooms were the wonder, however.
There is said to be over l2.OOC
Chinese characters, each one rep
resentlng one word and some
times more. They have no let
ters or alphabet. These 10000
characters are arranged in big
slanting cases tier after tier set
edgeways and reach from the floor
to six feet in height. The intelli-
gent Chinese compositor must
know all the characters in these
200 or 300 feet of cases and be
omewhat of a sprinter besides.
lie trotss down one alley and back
another, gathering type here and
there as he runs, until he has a
column set up. Ah Sin said it
took about five miles of cheap
walkee" to set a column of type.
AS a Chinese mile is something
like three or four of OURS, [ can
certainly imagine the pleasure of
setting type in heathen Chinese
shop. All Sin sold us his papers,
price l cent, for 25 cents in Yam
kee money. Chinese papers are
set bottom up. You begin to read
at the bottom Of the last column
on the last page and read each
line to the left and upwards.

COURT.

Court convened in WashburI
Monday with Judge Winchester
on tie the bench. It was though
that the term would last only two
days, but the case of the Assyrians
proved somewhat lengthy and
court did not adjourn until Friday
noon, the Judge and Stenographel
Tuttle returning, home on the noon
! train.
The first case on the criminal
calendar was the case Of State VS.
Joseph Sellin and Said Rlden.
Attorney Gibson was appointed by
the court to defend the prisoners
Mr.. Gibson demanded a separate
trial, and the trial of Joseph Sel-
lin was called. The case was for
an alleged assault on farmer last
winter by the Assyrian peddlers.
The jury brought in a verdict of
not guilty and the defendant was
dismissed. The case of Said Riden
was on motion dismissed.
The case of State VS. Chas.
Squires, charged with misde-
meanor, the defendant pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to six
months in the county Jail and to
pay a fine of $500.
The case of State VS. A. J. Ode
and Henry Ode for the selling of
intoxicating liquor resulted in a
verdict Of guilty in both cases,
the sentence Of the court was that
they be confined in the county jail
for a period Of 100 days and pay a
fine of $500.
The first conviction under the
prohibition law. and in fact we be-
Eeve the first case in this county
under that law, resulted in con-
viction at this term Of court.
The jury has said by their ver-
dict as expressed in this case that
the bootlegging and blind pigging
has got to Stop, especially in this
part of the state. The. law is on
the statute books and until it is
removed we believe in the enforce
ment of that law. If the prohibi-
tion law is obnoxious, work to
have it removed. This conviction
will be u lesson to the young men
and will deter Others from eneag-
ing in this nefarious business. one
that has brought ruin to countless
homes.

supply OF the vile stuff, called
blind pig whiskey. selling a bottle
here and a bottle there, to where
ever he can find a purchaser. is
entitled to 10 sympathy if he is
caught and convicted.
1t is matter Of congratulation
to the citizens that the jury
set their foot down and said by
their verdict that the prohibition
law must be enforced. If this
law had been overlooked, with the
large number of theworking class,
who will certainly make this place
their headquarters the coming
summer, it would have proven a
great field for the bootlegger..
The man who engages in the
bootlegging business must know
that it is a low, degrading business,
from the fact that they ply their
trade in barns and any old corner
where there is a chance Of sale.
It was a well-known fact that the
young BOYS Of this place last fall
secured intoxicants. and it is for
the protection Of these that the
enforcement of the law should be
strict and in the future all who en-.
gage in this unlawful traffic should
be made to suffer the consequent
ces. The states attorney is enti-
tied to great deal of credit for
the able manner in which he
handled the case.
