ONE DAY REMAINS.
But Short Time Before Hunters Will
Pour Into the Country.

nut ouOFI AlHle before HunterS Will
Pour Into the Country.
With only one short day remain
ing before the opening of the hunting
season. sportsmen are becoming an
Xious and exhibit nervousness to be
out in the fields. The trusty shot gun
has been taken from its cover and
carefully cleaned and frightened,
dogs have been fed up and taken for
short jaunts through the country to
get them in good running order, and
when the call to arms is sounded on
the first of September the country
roads will resemble an old-fashioned
battlefield with no enemy to disturb
the hunters. Duck and chicken hunt
ing In North Dakota is recognized the
best in the northwest and hunters
from all the neighboring states an
nually come to try their luclS within
Its limits. Everyone who has been in
the country within the last few weeks
states. that the game bipds are more
plentiful this year than they have
been for at least several years past
When the hunters return after the
first week in September the ranks of
the poor birds will have been thinned
out to considerable extent and the
hunter who has been forced to be con-
tent with breaking clay pigeons all
summer will be wearing the smile that
won't fade away.

TUBER CROP SHORT
In the yalley-Prlces Will Probably
Go lin.

According to the statements of
parties who have fields of potatoes
near the city. there are Indications
at the present time that there will be
a shortage this fall which will result
In the price of that commodity soar
ing so that what Ia usually a necessity
may become something of a luxury.
The rains Of the past week of which
there were many in this vicinity, have
started the potatoes roofing and where
such is the case the process will con-
tinue till the hills are practically
worthless.
Where the land is high and sandy
the potato crop will be fine, as the
wet weather does not bother. The
land Is light there and can stand
good deal Of water. An extensive DO
tato grower of this city stated last
evening that the Early Ohio potato,
which has been considered rather
fancy heretofore, had received it's
death knell this year. The land here,
he said. was altogether too heavy,
and as result the crop has rotted.
A large white potato has been found
to stand the conditions and will be
planted extensively the coming year
by potato growers Of the state.

wHISKEY VS.. COFFEE.
Mixture Of Drinks Cause Fatal Fight
Between Two Men.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. 3O.-Peter
Kanti, Finlander residing in the
town of Deer Creek, received probably
fatal injuries at the hands of Henry
Mork and John Hakkila, his neighbors,
last night
The two men had been drinking, and
went to Kanti's home, where they were
Hospitality received and treated to cof-
fee. They added some whisky to the
coffee, and after drinking a quantity
of the mixture, began discussing their
relative strength Mr.. Kanti, who is
rather an elderly man, stated that he
was something of an athlete in his
younger days in Finland, and was by
no means weakling yet. The dis
cussion became animated and a scuf-
file followed.
Kanti was knocked down and the
two men are alleged to have kicked
and otherwise abused him until his
face and head were one mass of cuts
and bruises. His wife interfered and
was also injured.
A physician was summoned and is
doubtful as to whether Kanti will re-
cover. Sheriff Albertson went to
\ Deer Creek and arrested -Mork and
'Hakkila, and they are being held
without bail to await developments. +,

NO FEAR OF FROST.
Recent Cold Snap Did No Damage In
State.

There were several anxious owners
of property in North Dakota waiting
for Section Observer T. s. Outram at
the local weather Office and they were
greatly relieved to know that the cold
wave did no damage to crops. From
nowhere in this section was frost re-
ported. At Lisbon, the temperature
dropped to 80 degrees, while at Detroit
and Milaca, Mimi, sc degrees was re-
ported. North Dakota sometimes gets
a cold jolt in August. after which con-
ditions return to nCvnal. but many
wheat growers have still in mind the
disastrous frost of Aug. II, 1888, and
are on the lookout accordingly.
The present cold wave Is past, ac-
cording to Mr.. Outram. the high pres
sure center, which sent the cold winds
out of the extreme northwest. now hav-
ing moved to the vicinity of Topeka,
Kan. So warmer weather is the order
of the day and there will be no good
reason for RELOCATING the common or
garden straw hat yet awhile.

HUNTING PROSPECTS

Inquiry among the merchants who
handle sporting goods discloses the
fact that the prospects for splendid
hunting season are decidedly good.
The sale of firearms and ammunition
are good criterion for the seasons
hunt, and in this particular the in
iications are away ahead of what they
were last year. Not only will the old
hunters be out in force but the num-
Der of new ones who will make their
debut this season is greater than for
several years. Dogs are being trained
and when the season opens there will
be a general fussilade all along the
line, and the birds that escape will
have to do some good maneuvering.

ton: who was captured at Aberdeen
with the Pencil horses. which he had
stolen from pasture at Bismarck last

sold the saddle. A few moments later
