Crookston, Mimi. Dec. 15.-Dan Campbell a
former Crookston land man, who for years was
one Of the most successful soil sellers in the
Red river valley, was yesterday indicted by the
grand jury upon the charge of securing money
under false pretenses and is now in Jail await
Ing trial.
Campbell is accused Of selling several tracts
to Louis Peterson OF Cannon rails, Iowa, for
l,oo0 and signing deeds for property to which
ne mad no right Or title whatever. When ar
| raigned before Judge Watts, he pleaded not
guilty. He was considered u great hustler and
one or the best land men In the country.
At session of the state railroad and ware
house commission in this city yesterday, Wylie,
the little town to the north Of this city. which
Is to be cut off from railroad communication
with the outside world by the tearing up Of the
Great Northern tracks between this city and st.
H1laire and the running of trains to Thief River
Falls by way of Tilden and the Northern Pa
! c1hc, presented arguments to the members Of
| the board why the road should not close its sta.
ton there.
In the event Of the closing Of the wylie
station and the tearing up Of the
twenty miles Of track between this city
and st. Ifilare, Wylie citizens will have to drive
! ten miles, thereabouts, in order to reach the
railroad, and the nearest station will be St.
Hilare
Superintendent jerks and Assistant Man
ager Brown of the road stated that
at present all the road would do
| the station. and that the matter Of tearing up
the rails and isolating the town from the rail-
road would be left to the future The repre-
sentatives Of Wylie protested strenuously against
| the closing of the station and the withdrawal Of
the agent. The commissioners will return their
decision later.
Wylie will undoubtedly be cut of from COM
munication with the road in the next few weeks,
as steel gangs at work on the St. Vim
cent line tearing up the old steel on that piece
of track and replacing it with eighty pound mate
rial. The old rails taken up will be used in
making the Great Northern connection with the
Northern Pacific at Red Lake Falls, and as soon
| as the track is completed passenger trains
will run by the way Of Tilden rather than thru
Wy1ie. The reason given by railroad is

Whiskey for the treatment Of consump-

the blood and strengthens the ciroula ton

The Gladness of Springtime.
sigma Skogland.)

When spring approaches every
heart is filled with gladness and sum
shine. The sky is covered with white
fleecy clouds and the little birds sing
their gayest songs. The early spring
flowers and the grass begin to sprout
up here and there, the leaves put on
their dresses of green, the lakes,
rivers and brooks, which all through
the dreary winter have flowed so
sorrowfully on, now gurgle over the
stones in merry glee; the cheerful
songs of the lark and bobolink show
us that the birds have returned to
their former place of abode, while the
warm sunshine and the cool refresh
ing spring breeze make all mankind
rejoice. after the cold. icy reign of the
storm king.

Swamp Land Action.

Petitions are being circulated
throughout the range towns and the
land district in general praying that
President Roosevelt order the issue Of
patents to the state of Minnesota for
swamp lands be suspended. pending
an investigation which the petitioners
desire the attorney general to make.
The petitions are being numerously
signed, and land attorneys and others
interested are hoping there will be
enough signers to bring about the de-
sired result, for the law now govern
ing the CHASING the swamp, or non
swamp character of the lands is
generally believed to be unfair in
some respects, although it does away
with considerable litigation.

swamp lands should be determined

of the matter said:
"The allegations of the petitioners

field notes can refer TO only two lines
of the four corner lots or forties, and
one line of the outer lots or forties,
while they furnish no means what

character of any inner lot or forty.

is dotted and lined with swamps, but
in many instances they are so narrow

the lands. If the surveyors could

within their survey lines the new law
would have more reason for existence,
but this cannot very we'll be done.

Two Meritorious Essays by Pupils of
Miss Brayton's Room.
Silent Grief.
Grace Schaefer.)

All the night long she had sat there.
When she had first come in, the sun
was just departing behind the hills,
spreading his beams along the heav-
ems, making the sky glow in all its
beauty. From the window could then
be seen the beautiful sunset, but it
had no charms for her; all the beau
ties Of nature had turned to a
mockery that echoed and re-echoed
the incidents Of the past. She had
turned from them tiercely, depriving
herself of her sole comfort.
Soon the sun disappeared and dark
ness and silence were broken only by
the lights OF the will-o-the-wisp, and
the lonesome calls of the owls and
whippoorwills which sounded so
strangely loud. But there she sat,
rigidly upright in the stiff backed
chair, unmlndful of the ghost-like
darkness that was soon to enshroud
her, too full of grief to think of
aught but that which caused it.
The night grew darker and darker.
Heavy black clouds obscured the moon
which therefore gave no light. A
heavy wind came on. In moaned and
shrieked. sounding like human voice,
SO werd and wild that at another
time she would have been filed with
the greatest terror. But now it did
not brighten her. She felt no fear,
for nothing mattered now. Not a
single tear fell, she who had so often
found it hard to keep them from flow
ing, now found for the first time that
she could not weep.
The clock in the churchyard struck
each hour. The clock in the hall
each time Joined in. Sometimes she
did not even hear them, when she did
she started up in terror, paced the
room, then sat down again and
laughed convulsively.
1t was morning. The faint glow in
the east had grown brighter and
brighter. At last the sun arose from
behind the hills, but still she sat
there like a statute. Not asleep
would that sleep had come to her,
but fully alive to the great lonliness
and sorrow which had suddenly come
upon her.
| The door was opened softly, and a
kind friend came in. She started
back at the face so sadly changed.
For the beautiful countenance was
pale and haggard, the mouth drawn,
the eyes wild, so different from the
free and happy look she had always
worn. The kind friend, looking into
her fearless eyes. lead her to the bier
/, where lay her dearest and sweetest
friend, who was everything to her.
, And there, beside the one who had
found her in her sorrow and woe, for
the first time she wept, finding relief,
though slight, for the friend who had
. always proved to be a friend in the
!, hour of need.
