May Change the Plans.

We understand that some of the per-
sons who oppose the digging of ditch
No. 81, think that the cost is too great
and that smaller ditch would do and
cost less monev. Now is it possible that
Engineer Mott is mistaken in his calcu.
Iations, but we would prefer his opinion
to the off-hand guesses of persons who
have not made a study Of the subject.
Certainly the people of Carlisle and
toilette townships would not want to see
the ditch made smaller until assured BY
competent engineers that smaller ditch
would carry off the water. 1t is easy to
see that small ditch, with an average
fall of ten or twelve feet to the mile
through Cavalier and Hamilton would
take lot of water from the Tongue
river, but it is just as easy to see that the
ditch must be pretty good size to carry
off that flood where the fall is only two
feet to the mile as it is through the
former named towns. Otherwise the
ditch would simply bring the flood
water to spread over these areas, side
ways. A very fat old lady was trying to
get into the narrow door of bus, and
the driver leaned over and said, "Try it
sideways ma am;" but she looking up,
replied, "Lor' bless yer, Johnny, l amt
got no sideways, "-and that is how the
ditch ought to be.

Accidentally Kelled .

James Bell, brother-in-law of Homer
Youmans, of toilette. whose farm he was
running this year, was instantly killed
near that village last Thursday evening.
He had hitched up to draw load ofseed
grain from the Aitchison farm, formerly
the McGregor farm. after supper, SO as
to be ready for seeding the next morn
ing. He had loaded the wheat, some
eight or ten bags, in low wheeled wag-
on, and in the darkness driving on the
grade at culvert, the wagon turned ov-
er and the man was pinned under the
sacks, and when found some halt hour
later, was dead. No bones were broken,
and it is quite possible that if help had
arrived sooner he might have been saw
ed. His hands still held the lines and
the horses were standing quietly in the
ditch. Mr.. Bell was man of good hab-
its and we'll liked by a large circle of
friends. Funeral services were held on
Saturday and the remains buried at
Hamilton.

Held Tor Hors estealinp,

A man who stopped off the train at
Drayton on Tuesday went to the livery
stable of Duncan Levison, and hired a
team, ostensibly for the purpose of
driving out in the country few miles
to buy chickens, representing that he
was connected with Port Huron firm
in that business. Later the liveryman
became suspicious and telephoned to
Sheriff Atkinson to look out for such a
man if he came this way.
Sheriff Atkinson kept on watch, but
while he was at supper the, fellow passed
through the city and went to Emerson.
The sheriff found this to be fact drove
over to Emerson, found the rig at the
livery stable and the man at the MOTEL
He had left orders to have the team
fed and ready for the road at five in the
morning. He was arrested and made
no objections to coming back across
the line, though when informed of the
fact that he need not come without be-
ing extradited, remarked that he knew
that. He gave his name as Smith, but
on being searched, memorandum book
and an insurance policy found would 20
to show that his name is David r.
Gordon and his residence Port Huron.
He says but little and explained that
he intended to return to Drayton the
following day. He had 81 SO as capt.

On preliminary examination before
Justice Aylen he asked for a continuance
until May 9Th, to get witnesses here,

which we take the following:

his title to Huron City over in Dakota.
Capt. Russell arrived in Pembina to
take charge Of the steamer Dakota which
he will run this season between Pembina

A Daring Robbery.

81 A0AAA6 AAvOOoAys
The post Office at Cavalier was robbed
on Thursday night Of last week by un-
known parties. Whoever did the job
knew how to handle the safe and blow it
open in burglarlike manner. Postmas-
ter Leighton had just received about
$500 worth of stamps the day before and
the burglars took them and about $500
in cash, part of which was Mr.. Is mon
ey. No clue has been found, but two
men were seen day or two later near
Hensel, who acted suspiciously, and it is
said that lights and two men were seen
at deserted house near there, which is
the same house where it is supposed the
Hensel bank robbers divided their booty
last fall.

The reader will understand that Mr..

miles from San Jose, but is in business
at the latter city and from which place
he writes.
Il have just passed through the worst
time Of my life as regards terror and
such things. but cannot take time to tell
you of it FULLY just now. Will have to
write special letter for that. We are
all alive though, and suppose we should
be thankful for that. l am, anyhow.
The destruction here is simply awful.
Nearly all Of the business buildings will
have to be rebuilt, as they will be un-
safe. l presume there is not house in
town that has not suffered. l will get
some papers to you as soon as there are
any. Here we are only fifty miles from
San Francisco and SO far we have had
no news that is authentic. We can hear
them dynamiting the buildings in trying
to stop the fires as their water supply is
gone. The suspense is something great.
There are so many people who have
relatives there. too, and there are no
trains or wires otany kind working. We
lost lot Of things by breakage which
will report later. Tips chimney came

Disastrous Fire.

The Canadian Hotel at Drayton burn
ed last Thursday night. 1t was remark
able fire in that it broke out twice after
the first alarm, and it took all three fires
to complete its destruction. The first
alarm was about twelve o'clock Thurs
day night and the firemen extinguished
the flames, or thought they did, before a
great amount of damage was done. A
$50 it broke out again and this time 1t
burned out most of the building. Sum
day morning the fire started for the third
time and completed the obstruction. The
walls were filled with sawdust to the Sec
ond story, which probably retained the
fire. The original fire is thought to
have been caused by lamp explosion
The hotel was estimated SO, 600 at value
and the insurance was 81, 500. 1t was
owned by Mrs. James Hunter.

A Close Call.

Pembina had another close call for
what might have been an extensive fire
on Sunday night. Mr.. Sam. Joyce who
takes care of the Ardies livery stable left
the place about 10 O'Clock, and when he
came back about $50 next morning he
was astonished when he opened the Of
flee door to find hole burned through
the floor nearly round and about eigh-
teen inches in diameter. One of the
joists had also been burned nearly of,
but the fire was out and there was even
no smell of smoke. A box filled with
sawdust, and used AS spittoon had also
been burned and it is supposed someone
had thrown lighted cigar stub in the
spittoon and caused the blaze. The sta
BILE is between the city hall and the Chap
man house. Moral: sawdust spittoon
in wooden box is about the best inven-
ton known as fire trap.
