garding the fast driving INDUCED
in by Miss Satterlund before get
ting out of the city limits-being

| Jasper Hansen, who has claim
near Washburn, made a visit to his
residence near Washburn last week
and found that the window had
been taken. Jasper placed a notice
on the remaining part of the afore-
said shack, warning against remov-
ing any Of the property. The other
day he went out and found that the
entire shack was gone-notice and
all. Jasper will have to rebuild and
plant a mine that will cause all fu-
ture trespasers to get an imitation
of the siege of Port Arthur.
While visiting at the home of
his father-in-law, Mr.. Gustafson.
last Sunday, Tom Figenskau had
an experience that he does not care
to repeat, After dinner, he took
out his pipe and proceeded to fill
the same with some tobacco he had
in his pocket, preparatory to taking
smoke. In the pocket along with
the tobacco were several O. calibre
cartridges, and not knowing it, he
got one of them mixed up with the
|. tobacco and putt in the pipe. Tom
lit his pipe and settled himself for
quiet smoke. After short time
there was an explosion, the shell go
ing one way and the pipe the other,
and there was a cloud Of smoke that
made him think Japanese gun
boat had struck this section. Tom
thot some one had shot at him thru
the window. Beyond a severe scare
no damage was done.
