IMPORTANT TOFARMfRS
Grain Memorandum Not
sufficient--Receipts Nee
eSSary.

The noted case OF Henry Cramer of
Clara City, MIMI, against the North
western Elevator company of Mime.
apolis has been decided in favor of
the defendant. There ia involved
in this case a question of vital
interest to the grain trade
and to every northwestern farm
er the right OF country elevator
manager to issue receipts for grain in
form other than that prescribed by
statute and the regulations of the rail-
road and warehouse commission, and
the binding power of such receipts of
memoranda upon the elevator COM
pany, says the Starbuck Times.
The case was bitterly fought in
June. 1901, was lost by the defend
ant, went before the Minnesota
supreme court, was sent back for re-
trial, and came up again last month
at Granite Falls. Fifteen or more
rough slips bearing memoranda in
numbers and signed by J. Kelley,
agent Of the Northwestern Elevator
company, but without date or other
marks Of detniteness, made up the
principal exhibit. The court decided
that such receipts are not binding
upon the elevator company and are
not collectable.
In the case in question the elevator
1os - CHI khok
was no record on their books that they
had ever received the grain and that
their agent had never notified the
Minneapolis Office of any such re-
ceipts. The first knowledge of 1T
came with the presentation of the,
slips in question, which, the farmers
claimed, were issued to them by
Kelley for grain taken in.
| With this decision in mind farmers
and country elevator men will need
for greater caution hereafter. AL
though the state has prescribed the
form of receipts to be issued, it has
been the custom to disregard this in
many instances.
The news that these memoranda
are worthless in law, in the event
of an error or dispute arising, win
surprise many farmers who have
taken them without question -
! Charles A. Magnuson, president of
! the Northwestern Elevator company,
says: From this case it must not be
inferred that there is any disposition
on the part of any elevator company
not to pay for grain delivered but the
companies do not wish to pay for it
twice. 1t a farmer accepts for his
load of grain slip of anything except
the regular authorized warehouse re-
ceipt, the elevator companies do not
feel it incumbent upon them to pay
for such slips, as their agents have
instructions to issue for ali grain re-
ceived into their elevators regular
warehouse receipt such as it ia pre-
scribed by law. i

WANTS TO JOIN sixth
Beltrami County Prefers
Belonging to This Dis
trict.

Beltrami county is in the wrong
congressional district, says the Be-
midi Pioneer. At least this seems to
be the conviction Of number of
prominent people in Bemidji, who do
not disguise the fact that they be-
lieve the county's interests could be
better served In Congressman Buck
mans bailiwlck, the Sixth, and who
will make an effort to have the county
placed in the new Sixth district at
the next session of the state legisla.
ture.
just what reason there was for plac-
ing Beltrami county in tie Ninth. dis
trict under the last re-apportionment
no one seems to be prepared to state.
Little thought was given the matter
at the time, but recently it has been
given some consideration and it has
been decided that Beltrami county
ought to be in the Sixth.
OF the twelve counties in the Ninth
Beltrami is the only timber county.
All the other counties are in prairie
county and local needs in the way Of
legislation are apt to be overlooked
by congressman who has a district
whose needs are SO diversified. Drain
age Is something that would be of
vast benefit to many sections of Bel
trami county, but the problem of &C.
curing it when government money
for the same purpose is in demand in
the older counties to the east is not q
small one. Beltrami's recognition in
the Ninth can be small to say the
least for some years to come. Now
in the Sixth they would be differ
ent. It is said that If the county
were in the Sixth this year it might
be in position to name the next
congressman and there are many
shoulders In this vicinity broad
enought to wear congressional toga.
The interests of the counties making
up the sixth--so far as. congressional
legislation are concerned are Identical
with those of Beltrami county and
there is unquestionsbly strong senti-
ment in this city favoring the change.
Already the rotation of the congress
sional honor Is being figured out in
the Sixth. It will be Buchanan this
term and Ripley Brewer, of St. Cloud,
in two years more so they say and af-
ter that if Beltrami county were in
the Sixth. there might be chance for
the right kind of home talent from
this county. Anyhow, the PROPOSE
ton of a change is interesting and ite
merits might bear closer investigation.

The ld-fashioned oaken rocker moved
with rhythmic sweep and slow;
With her feet upon the fender, In
cadence low and tender,
Floated forth that slumber anthem
Of q childhood long ago.
There were COLLINS in the cleaning
and the half-closed eyes went
roaming
Through the twilight for the ghostly
shapes of bugaboos s.along;
Now the sandman's slylv creeping
and a tired lad half sleeping
When she sings to him that

VICTIM OF
CIRCULAR
SAW DIES

Joseph Paine OF Georglaville. an en-
ploye OF A. c. Gould. dealer in wood and
ice, met death yesterday through fright
full injuries received while using circular
saw.
The saw was In operation In a small
shed near Goulds home and was attend
ed by Paine alone.
In an unclaimed manner the man was
thrown against the terribly sharp teeth
OF the saw so that they sank into his
head back OF the right ear. Spasmodical-
ly Paine turned to escape the deadly
peril. The saw cut on, crossing the throat
and severing the brestbone.
The man then freed himself. retaining
consciousness in spite OF his horrible In
turies His nerve falling him he fell to the
floor. shouting for help. Mr. Gould heard
the cry and hurried TO the building. The
sight that met his eyes would have un-
neryed A much stronger man. He lost no
time in assisting Paine TO the house.
though he was fearfully weak from loss
OF blood.
DR. l. 8. Cook was summoned and ar
rived IN time to render invaluable aid In
staying the agony OF the wounded man.
The cruel blade had worked myrderously
and several large arteries and veins were
found either completely severed or fear
fully punctured I'm the throat and chest
OF the victim.
For two hours Paine fingered. bearing
IN heroically under the awful suffering.
Ue retained consciousness until within
few moments before his death.
Paine was well and favorably known In
Georgiaville and great sympathy is felt
for the widow and two children on whom

on Main street.
The three had been skating at Crystal
lake, and started for home about $3.50
o'clock. Instead OF going down Eagle
Rock avenue, they took a short cut over
a lonely and isolated part or the Orange
mountain. It wasn't long before they
lost the path.
The boys wandered about i'm the dark
until they came 10 tho edge OF a quarry.
After some discussion, Harold. who is
