Alices lips quivered, but Hildegarde

devoted cavalier, and Alice half re-
preached herself that she had enjoyed
the day SO much.
So the glowing midsummer swept by,

himself to think how he was outwitting

''Yes, Hildegarde," said Alice, Il am

Captain Aymer looked penetratingly
into her face. There were real tears
sparkling and quivering on her lashes
and the roses paled from her cheeks.
"Alice!" he said, impetuously, 'is It

Alice, silly little creature that she

"Oh, Kent! You promised that"

CITY IS LOSER.

Prompt Payment Of Railroad Tax Not
Anticipated.
Fargo is in a peculiar position as a
result of the prompt action of the
Northern Pacific in paying it's entire
paving assessment for recent work on
Front street. The action of the rail-
way company is likely to cost the
city about $4,000 The company's
share of the paving was over $4,000.
The paving bonds were made payable
in fifteen annual installments, and not
anticipating such action by the rail-
way company the city sold all the
warrants at per cent interest. The
railway company concluded it pre-
ferred to pay the entire amount now
to being bothered with the annual
payments and sent in it's check. It's
now up to the city to do something
to Offset the loss of interest. The
bonds bear per cent, while the city
gets only 1 per cent on deposits.
There is more trouble over the matter
because, under its charter, the city
can't use the funds in general pay.
ments, but must confine it to paying
paving warrants The only solution
appears to be in inducing holders Of
the paving warrants to take other
warrants and permit the city to can
Gel the amount for which the railway
company has paid.

the department that it was not the

the change of altitude was so great
that it worked hardships on the men.
American Lake is an ideal place for

Home.

e. Lunquist Found Dead in His
Home.
E. Lunquist, residing at Esmond, on
the Oberon branch of the Northern
Pacific railway, was found dead in
his house. The body when found was
lying face downward with the neck
in moose made of four or five-ply
binding Irvine. One end of the Irvine
was fastened to the top of the bed
stead, which is of iron and quite
high.
From the position of the body it
would appear that after having fas.
tened the Irvine to the top of the bed
stead he slipped his head through the
moose and lay face downward, the
Irvine being just short enough to keep
his head from touching the floor. He
was last seen alive when he got off
the train at Esmond, having arrived
from Maddox, where he had been for
a couple of days. He was about sew
enty years of age, and had wood
yard in Esmond. He owned some
property and was in good circum-
stances financially.

MURDER LAID 70 HIRED MAN.
Body Of Christ johnson, Kenmars
Farmer, Found In Cellar.

Body Of Christ johnson, a. Kenmare
Farmer, Found In Cellar.
With the face beaten into an I'M
recognizable mass and the head shot
full of holes, the body of Christ John
son, a Kenmare farmer, about sixty
years old, was found in the cellar of
his home. six and one-half miles
south of Kenmare. r. s. Noah. who.
II is alleged, ran a blind pig in Minot
for year and a half and recently
was released from the state peniten-
tiary, and Patsy Coyle, who served
time for robbing the postoff1ce at New.
port, some time ago, were arrested
and taken to Minot. Noah, whosea
home is supposed to be at Douglass,
N. D., and man by the name of Mills,
supposed to be his father-in-law, ap-
peared at the Commercial hotel at
Kenmare week ago. Noah had a
gun and started out in the country,
ostensibly on hunting trip. He went
to the home of Christ johnson and
hired out to him 70 work. Noah's
father-in-law disappeared, and Patsy
Coyle had not appeared on the scene.
Noah worked for johnson until
johnson mysteriously disappeared.
He was last seen on Thursday morn
ing, when he started out to visit a
neighbor, who lives short distance
away. He left the neighbours place
at $3.50 o'clock Thursday night, and
was not seen again until his body was
discovered yesterda yafternoon in the
cellar of his home.
The theory on which Noah and
Coyle are held is that Coyle went out
to the johnson home Thursday even
ing and that the two murdered him
there. According to ther story, Noah
and Coyle left the Johnson hame in
a wagon about S:15 Thursday night
for Kenmare. Noah says that before
he left the Johnson home he had made
a deal with Johnson to buy his grain
and personal property, paying him
$3.50, and that Thursday night he
drove johnson to Kenmare, where he
was to take the midniS;,t train to St.
Paul on his way to Eul\2e.
Johnson's body was found in a cor
ner of the cellar behind a potato bin.
His head was curled down toward his
feet. 1t is thought Johnson was MUIR
dered on his return from his neigh
boris place, and that the body was
thrown into the cellar in the hope that
it might be concealed until the per-
petrators of the crime had gone
away.

Tuesday.
Washington, April 1. - After hav-
Ing undergone many changes the par
agraph of the agricultural appropria-
ton bill relating to the bureau of for.
estry was finally passed by the house
of representatives. Messrs. Mondell
of Wyoming and Smith of California
continued their attacks on the bureau
and in this they were supported by
Messrs. Bonynge of Colorado and
Cushman of Washington. These en-
braced charges that the bureau had
created timber monopolies in favor
of large corporations, illegally as.
sumed jurisdiction over water rights
belonging to the Western states and
juggled with figures in order to OBJ
tain large appropriations from con-
gress.
Nearly the entire session of the
senate yesterday was consumed in
consideration of bill to permit the
building of dam on the Snake river,

P,TlAsLE PLIGHT OF A MAN.
He Was Found With Feet and Hands
Frozen.

Almost famished with the pangs of
hunger, with his feet frozen, one Tenn
pleton, about forty years old, was
found in an old caboose of the Great
Northern near Minot, where he had
been for several days, lowering be-
tween life and death.
Templeton, it is said, beat his way
through from Washington, and ar.
rived in Minot few days ago. Hav-
ing no place to sleep and no money
for food, he crawled into an old un-
used caboose about two miles east of
Minot, and there he lay in the cold
with scarcely enough clothing to COW
er him.
There was small stove in the car
and Templeton managed to scare up
a few pieces of kindling with which
small fire was made. The mans
feet were frozen stiff. He was very
scantily clothed, and he appeared to
be OH the verge of starvation.
The man was taken to the hospital.
