survive him. He, was thirty-one years
of age and was held in the highest esteem
by all who had became acquainted with
him during the year that he had made
Milton his home.
While the st. Anthony & Dakota
elevator had been burning johnson had
been up on the roof of the NJ. Il N.
elevator, fighting the sparks which the
burning cinders from the fire hundred
feet away had started, and after battle
with the flames, lasting over an hour,
while the temperature was 40 below zero,
had saved the property of the company.
1t was an hour after the fire was over
that searching party found the body
of johnson, horribly bruised and crushed
on the floor of the elevator, where he
had evidently fallen from the top of the
inside. The last that is known of him
is that he told some of those at the fire
he was going to make one more trip to
the top to make sure that everything
was all right. In the dark, with nothing
but the light of a lantern, he undoubt-
edly made false step and fell to the
floor sixty feet below.
The remains are being taken to his
old home at Corning, Minn., for burial
today. Besides brother and sister at
Milton he has father and several bro
theirs at the old home in Minnesota.

DEATH OF JOHN HUNTER.
KrIElEE0

Friday morning another of Cavalier
countys oldest settlers answered the
final summons home. John Hunter, OF
Harvey township, who had been bed
ridden and gradually failing away since
his serious illness CT three years ago was
last week finally released from the
great suffering that he so patiently
bore At the time when death came
he lacked but four days of having
reached MS eightieth year. 1t is nearly
twenty years ago since Mr. Hunter came
with his family to Cavalier county from
Eastern Canada and his whole life has
been such a one as leaves behind it no.
thing but regret at the loss felt by all.
The funeral Sunday afternoon was held
with Masonic honors the services con-
Quoted by Rev. Marsh, being held at the
Masonic Temple. He was one of the old
charter members of Lebanon lodge and
in recalling the early history of the order
in Langdon his usefulness is omnipresent.
The widow he leaves behind has reached
the advanced age of eighty-two years,
and in spite of the terrible cold weather,
was in attendance at the funeral, in com
pany with the grown members of the
family, all those living being here with
the exception of a son, Alex. Hunter
who moved out to Oregon a couple OF
years ago.

At an early hour Sunday morning, be-
fore daylight, the town of Milton was
visited with fire, accompanied by the
loss of several thousand dollars and also
the direct cause of the loss of human
life.
The fire in which Ole P. johnson met
with a sudden and tragic death was
first discovered at four o'clock Sun.
day morning in the st. Anthony q Da-
kota elevator and the first indication
the people of Milton had that there was
a fire within the limits of the village was
the issuing of flames from the roof OF
the building. Nothing could be done
but put forth every effort to save the
Minneapolis & Northern elevator, the
roof of which was atire shortly after
the firemen appeared upon the scene.
Hours of hard fighting were required to
accomplish that result. The thermo-
meter at the time was about 80 degrees
below zero and the conquest of the fire
was not accomplished without intense
suffering on the part of the boys fighting
the flames.
The fire started in the office and the
agent. w. E. Jennings, is of the opinion
that an explosion or puff from the stove
must have lighted the excelsior packed
in the box in which the electric battery OF
the engine had been delivered in the
afternoon before. The total loss OF
property is $4,000 of which 5000 was
upon the elevator itself and $4,000 upon
the grain in the house at the time that
& was burned. The building was new
and had only been constructed two
years ago, at the time of the destruction
Of the old elevator by fire.
The victim of the fire, Ole P.Johnson'
had been employed in the elevator since
early last fall, and was half brother OF
lis. o. Tollefson, agent for the elevator
|company at the time of the tire. He

FOR MASoN'S SUCCESSOR.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Jan. THE
Illinois general assembly convened in
biennial session today with prospect
of lively times and much work before
final adjournment is reached First
and foremost on the agenda is the
election of United States senator to
succeed William E. Mason whose term
will expire in March. The choice of
a Republican is assured by the Re-
publican control of the assembly. The
last Republican state convention in
dcrsed Congressman A. ]. Hopkins
for the senate, but open and vigorous
efforts to block this plan have been at
work ever since the convention, Sen
ator Mason is an avowed candidate
for reelection and those who remem-
Der the circumstances and conditions
that surrounded his first election
would not be taken entirely by sur
prise at any piece of duck that might
betall the Chicago statesman Close
followers of the political game, how
ever. are of the opinion that Hopkins
has a long lead in the race and with
the support of the Yates organization
is bound to win The contest, what
ever may be the result. will undoubt-
edly have an important bearing on
the future organization and control
of the Republican party in Illinois.

The feeling and excitement in Sill
verton is quieting down to consider
able extent. 1t is believed the bank
will pay out better than at first anti
cipated. Although not officially given
out, the real conditions existing are
pretty well understood. The availa-
Bile cash assets will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. The loans and dis
counts are in the neighborhood of $685.
600 with deposits amounting to $121,-
600 OF the loans $4,000 is second
mortgage on deceaseds Denver resi-
dence, first mortgage for the same
amount being held by an eastern CON-
pany. There will be an equity of
$4,000 In the house after paying the
second mortgage of $4,000 to the
bank. 1t is believed rs per cent can
be realized on the remainder of the
loans, thus providing a fund of over
$4,000 to apply on deposits. To this
will undoubtedly be added $4,000 life
insurance, as it is known that half OF
his insurance is made payable to him
self. The life insurance was $4,000.
but Mr.. Robin allowed policy or
two to lapse. Then, 1t Is said that
Mr.. Robin owned one-fifth Of the Iowa
Royal Tiger group, or that the estate
will realize fully $4,000 from this
source. Then Mr.. Robins Camp Bird
extension and Silver Ledge holdings
will bring neat sum, Mr.. Robins to-
tai mine holdings probably netting
$4,000 to 100000. Therefore many
| are of the belief that the bank will
| eventually pay dollar for dollar and
| had Mr.. Robin had the courage l@tQ
stand the ordeal would sunlly O.
have pulled through all right. Las,
| fall he was offered $35, 900 for his Den
yer property. This would have sun
piled the bank with all the necessary
funds to carry on business by can
ceiling the $4,000 loan and it seems
queer that he did not think Of this.
But MIR. Robin expected to realize on
the Silver Ledge and kept postponing
| preparing for the storm until he be-
| onfrpmha ETAOI7S90$. .CMFWYP
lieved ruin stared him In the face. 1t
is too late now to see where the dead
man could have managed to pull
through.
| The county money deposited by
Miss Tulley is fully secured by bonds
furnished and the bonds are secured
by collaterals.
Taking it all in all. there is no reas
on for any great worrying over large
