Judge Newman determined to be
light on him, and administer a small
fine, accompanied by lecture and
some words of warning.
"Old man, am going to be light on
you this time, because 1t is your first
offense, and you are old enough to
know better. l warn you, however,
that If you ever come before me again,
it will go hard with you"
Sudden humor wrinkled the grim old
mouth and made the eyes twinkle, as

ON HIS OWN HEAD. Ri
Sought to Make Light of olaffson in
Dispatches that the Latter Con-
tracted Appendicitis by Swallowing
Sweet Pea Seed for Liver Pills.
He Goes Under the Knife Himself.
Special to The journal.

Osnabrock N. D., June 16.-some weeks ago
q news Item was. sent out from this place and
widely printed, to the effect that thru an. error
on the part OF clerk in Chicago mail-ordsr
house Olaf Olaffson had lost his veriform APP
pendix.
AS the story went Olaffson and his wife sent
orders to the Chicago house, one for supply
of liver pills and the other for sweet pea seed.
The clerk had made mis- ia ke in the packages,
and Olaffson suffered from appendicitis as a
result OF taking several doses Of the seed, his
wife being much vexed because the liver pills
which she planted did not sprout.
A Chicago house which does large mail
order business in this state determined to inves-
tigate the truth Of the story, and sent special
representative to -OsnabrOck.t He had little diff
hculty in finding Mr.. Olaffson, who is well to-
do farmer living about twelve miles from here.
Olaffson, however: declared that the sweet pea
liver pill story was erroneous in several particu-
lars. He admitted that he had lost his veri-
form appendix, but declared it was several years
ago. He also denied that he was a victim of
the iver-pin habit, declaring that he had never
taken q dose of medicine in his life, at least
not liver pills. His wife did not order sweet
peas from the Chicago house, as asserted, for
the simple reason that he never had wife.
Olaffson explained that the story was the
paper man who was unfrendly to him and who
wished to hold him UP to ridicule.
As bit of poetic justice, however, Mr.. Olaf.
son stated that after sending out the
story the newspaper correspondent himself had
been attacked by the disease and compelled to
submit to operation. In the deleted appen.
dix Of the newspaper man two b1rdshot were
found, but Olaffson refused to advance q theory
az to how they got there. L..

cago man resulted In full substantiation o,

Yankton, S. D.. June 16.--When the Missouri

force OF its high food waters into the James
river valley, what will happen7 is The question
farmers In the neighborhood are asking as they
anxiouHly watch the fastdisappearing neck of
land only few feet across
For years the river has been cutting Its way
thru the low land one-quarter Of mile above
the James river mouth, until when the June rise
came this week only few rods remained to
connect the mainland In this county with i 500
acres of valuable land belonging to Honest
Abe" Van Osdel, and which is leased to four
or five renters. The neck has now narrowed to
few feet; a broad area is submerged and the
water. is already passing over into the James.
Another day will, 1t IL expected see the COM
pletion of the work and the cutoff land will be
sold Muddy IS, last formed island. s
Farmers who have been watching the river
closely fer some years think the land will be
worn away until the old mouth of the James
will be cut out, when the Missouri will be
able to make a complete; sweep of the island
along its north shore. Whether the river will be
able to cut the island out entirely is mere specu
lation at this time, but It is thought not and
that property and the large herds Of stock in

The sight is Interesting one, and many
persons are watching the Missouri as it continues
to cut its way thru the rampant of sand and
trees. 80 = :. T. EF5. -:
In any case there will be an immense rush Of
water, similar to that OF dam breaking, and i,
is hard to predict the results. ~. s .-.s
