John Hornstraw, butcher at the Der.
ringer market. accidentally shot himself
Thursday evening. He was driving to
the slaughter house and had his right
hand over the muzzie of a Winchester
rifle which was discharged through the
palm of the hand, the ball entering under
the chin, passing along the left cheek
bone and out at the ear. Friday morn
ing the patient seemed to be resting we'll.
His hand seems to be in the worst con
dition, but it is believed he will recover.
Mr.. Hornstraw is from Groton, S. D.,
and has been here but a month. He has
= wife and little child who will probably
arrive here today or tomorrow. Mr..
Hornstraw says he did not know the gun

Campbell Bros. gave their circus per-
Torrance to a large crowd in Dickinson
last Friday, and a more pleased COM
pany never attended a show. The per-
formances were frst-class from start to
finish. and should Campbell Bros. come
this way mex year they would have a
much larger crowd than they had on
their first appearance last week. Their
employees are very gentlemanly as COM
pared with the usual run of circus peo-
pie, and they do not allow she'll game
and other fakirs to travel with them. A
year or two ago Campbell Bros. started
on tho road with two cars. They now
have 10 cars, W no man a dollar, and
another year expect to add ten or twelve
more cars to their show aggregation.
A visit to the Northern Pacific yards
and shops at this place will convince
anyone that there is something doing.
In addition to the general overhauling
Of the round house, re-setting. Of sta
%tionery boilers, installing electric lights,
etc., the car house is to be remodeled
and put in shape to take care Of the work
OF the division. The building has been
practically closed since the removal of
MI. Purcell some ten years ago. New
side tracks are being laid, old n lei OK
tended, and four arc lamps are to make
things bright at night around the depot
grounds. The putting in of an 8-foo,
dam precludes any water shortage as
was experienced last winter. The com.
pany expects to get a good artesian we'll
at this place and has instructed the well
borers 10 60 down 5000 feet if necessary
