From the Leader.

Dale.
Col. P. King has gone to Spring
Green, Wisconsin, to visit at his old

an aff1iction Of the eyes, Cashier H. C.
Peek is able to be out this week,
though not yet we'll.

MIR. and Mrs. Ira Barnes were in

David Griffin, who last fall forged
several checks on Guldborg & Pehl
which were cashed by several Ellen
dale merchants, was arrested in Aber-
deem and brought to Glendale by
Sheriff Drew Saturday. H. C. McMas-
ter heard the man was in Aberdeen
and within half hour had the man in
custody. Griffin had hearing before
Judge Keyes and was bound to the
district court in the sum of $500.
No bail has as yet been furnished and
the man is registered with Sheriff
Drew.
w. B. Minton has threshed his barley
and oats the former turning out
thirty-two and half bushels and the
latter fifty-six bushels. The barley
was sold for fifty-three cents. A few
years ago "Mint" came up from Iowa,
and brought with him some good hard
sence farming ideas which he has put
into practice and from them each
year has reaped an abundant harvest
Of grain and coin. He thinks North
Dakota a paradise and says he can
make money on any quarter of land in
Dickey county.
If nature continues as she has on the
farm of Commissioner Adamson this
season, it is feared the popular COM
missioner from the Fifth district will
become widely known as a freak
farmer. A lamb has four feet behind,
two on each leg, and all are perfect
and distinct feet. Mr.. Adamson says
when the lamb is by itself it will rise
on its front feet travelling without the
aid of it's numerous hind feet, but if it
becomes frightened, all six feet are
put into action and the way the lamb
skips over the green would put jack
rabbit to shame. Another freak on
the Adamson farm is a tailless calf.
Last evening after months of suf-
fering, jeremiah Carr, an old res
pected citizen of this county, passed
from this life. Early in January Mr..
Carr was nearly asphyxiated in his
room in the old Sherman house and
since then suffered a stroke of paraly-
sis. During his long illness he has had
the best of care. Medical and nursing
was of no avail except to relieve suf-
fering. Mr.. Carr was a painter by
trade and was an artist in his line.
Since coming here, however, until the
past few years he was actively engaged
in farming and was the owner of fine
farm situated a few miles northwest
Of Glendale. Mr.. Carr was born in the
state of New York in 1885 and removed
in early life to White Pigeon, Michigan
where he resided until the year 1882,
