The scaffold on which six brick
layers were standing at the new
City Hall building, broke Mon.

met instant death. The heavy
weight OF the wreckage pinned
him to the floor, injuring him
internally. 1t was 20 minutes
before the men could extricate
their companion. He was car

been disinterred from a Chinese
burying ground at Chicago, and
the remains are being taken back
to tie native land of the dead
Chinese, there to be buried. The
work is under the supervision OF
a large Chicago Chinese society.
The Chinese believe that to enjoy
the blessings Of a hereafter, it is
necessary to be buried on native
soil. They always plan to lay
aside enough money to take
their remains to their old home.
They believe it is also necessary
to preserve their cue, and take
great pains with their hirsute
appendage.

not yet been recorded.
Since writing the above, a
letter from White Earth brot us
221O votes for Miss McGlynn.
In a letter we are lead to believe
that a ball is soon to be given at
White Earth, for the benefit of
Miss McGlynn. A basket ball
game will probably be given the
same evening between the White
Earth team, and perhaps a team
from Minot. Miss McGlynn in
forms us that she will try to
duplicate Miss Lindsay's feat. in
the Optics piano contest. 1t
will be remembered that Miss
Lindsay raised several thousand
votes in one evening with a ball.
Miss Anderson is thinking
strongly of giving a public social
of some kind, as many OF her
friends would be only too glad
to assist her in this. Miss NC
Glynn is a very formidable candi-
date. Look for something do
ing from the western part OF

be made known in this office
sometime Saturday night Dec.
16., or thenext morning, as soon
as the Judges can finish the count
of the great volume Of votes.

the wedding was one of the most
prominent social functions held
in the county for many a day.
The couple came to Minot the
following day and spent Thanks
giving with their friends.
Mr.. Bach and the minister ex-
perienced great difficulty in driv-

afternoon thru the deep snow.
That evening at 8 O'Clock, Mr..

the driver started for Minot, and
when but a mile from Burlington,

Competition Brisk.

The sale OF delinquent tax real

attracting a large number Of
capitalists from all parts OF the
county. Competition was strong
and many bid in the taxes at
one per cent. A good many OF
the business men became wise''
to this fact and rather than pay
their taxes, allowed the bidders
to do SO, as at that rate, the
money would be worth but six
per cent.

Homestead Laws, if you will go there and take it. Think what a
high priced land and have no home that you can call your own.

The United States land office reports for the month of November.
1905, over 40 900 acres of land entered under the Homestead act,
