IL was the rattle of silver dropping on the hearth stone and of someone counting. in- tently they listened 10 the counting and the dropping, the dropping and the counting. Fearing 10 go to the front to look in they went away. Several times they visited the house at night, always seeing the strange white thing approaching from the shadows and hearing the dropping of coin on the stone Then word Was passed that the place was haunted.
 About this time James Holman moved his family into the nelghDol- hood and heard the story

 Dainties for Wolves and Alisators.
 The first farm home of James Hol- man on the bank of Little River was enclosed with high picket fence, outside of which the small children were never allowed. for the woods were full of wild animals. Bears were not considered dangerous, wolves were too cowardly to attack man unless travelling in a pack or s,ary- ing, but partners were danger ous, stealthy and cruel. 4 lack of hounds were always kept for the protection of the children and thc stock and when their bayins was heard in the vicinity il meant that game had been tracked.
 One morning while the family were in the cabin home the excited bark ing of the dogs told them of the ap- proach of some animal A quick glance showed pack of wolves rae ing madly down on the flock of sheep, which had been turned into clear ing to feed. The dogs went to the protection of the sheep. but were too few to outnumber the wolves and be. fore James Holman arrived with has gun three sheep lay dead, their throats cut by the sharp fangs of the wolves as clean as if done with a knife.
 While the wolves hrayed many dangers for taste of lamb, the alli- gators in the water bordering some ol the low farm lands had tooth for the early porker. Hogs were scarce among he settlers, The forest range afforded ample food, but the wild animals made short work of the pig. Several farmers. however, whoS' land lay exposed had somp hogs sent in and indul.-ed in dreams of side meat and fresh smoked ham. Bdl having once tasted pork the alli gator kept Watchfu! eye, ana hiding in the waters edge where the hog came to drink or WalloW. waited patiently. When the hog was least suspecting danger he found himself suddenly slapped into the water bH the powerful tail of the alligator ano his next condition was oblivion. Many i times the children of James Holman saw these alligators. and so complete were their depredatiOhs that hog rais ing was given up until they were eA | terminated.

Death Came Very Suddenly

The entire community of Olga was
deeply shocked with the news which
reached us Saturday morning of the
death of Joseph Langevin, one of the
oldest residents of this place. Joseph
Langevin left his home at this place
last Friday morning to haul his last load
of grain to market at Osnabrock. He
was feeling we'll and happy and wished
his family CHEEKY good bye as he drove
off. Having considerable business to
attend to it was late before he was ready
to start for home and consequently he
was caught on the road in the storm
which occurred that night. He had
with him in his wagon box a load of
planks which he had bought for the
purpose of putting new floor in his
barn. The night being unusually dark
on account of the storm it was impossible
for him to see the road, and in passing
over culvert at Gustaffson's place the
wheels of his wagon went over the end
OF the culvert, resulting in the wagon
and the load of lumber being upset on
Mr.. Langevin. The neck, right shoulder
and leg cf Langevin all being crushed
and broken in the accident. The body
was not found until daylight Saturday
morning, when Co. Coroner s. G. Gibson
was sent for by parties living near by,
who after making careful examination
decided that the holding of an inquest
was not necessary in order to arrive at
the cause of his death.
Mr.. Joseph Langevln was one of the
oldest settlers in this neighborhood and
was we'll known and highly respected
throughout the eastern part of the
county. He was 45 years of age, was a
hard worker and a good neighbor and
had acquired considerable property
which gave him place among those of
the most prosperous farmers of this
community. He was particularly un-
fortunate in the early days, losing three
of his children in a fire which burned
his home to the ground. He leaves be-
sides wife three children Mary and
Rosa, twin daughters, 16 years of age
and Josepha, another daughter IA years
old. He also leaves a sister, Mrs
Senacal, of Rolla, and five brothers.

Farmer Victim of Heart Disease.

Death came very suddenly Tuesday
morning when Henry Loebing, tenant
farmer, on land owned by j. j Mahoney
in Gordon township was seized with, an
attack of heart disease and fell uncon-
sious to the floor, from the chair where
he sat prepared to eat breakfast. That
morning he had taken a severe chill as
result of having to wade into near by
slough after cows that had strayed dur
ing the night. The chill is thought to
to.have occasioned rush of blood to the
heart causing death. DR.. S. q. Gibson
the county coroner, was called and after
investigating decided to hold post
mortem examination, with tho result
that an inquest was not necessary.

A. P. Camden, brother of w. j. Cam
den, the we'll knswn Walhalla druggist,
was shot and instantly killed on Niccolet
avenue in Minneapolis on Wednesday of
last week at midnight by a brain be-
fuddled young fool of boy who seemed
to glory in the deed, and did not appear
to realize the enormity of the crime. 1t
is not likely that either the boy or his
victim ever heard of the other before.
The boy claims to have been raised by
gypsies, and taught to steal. He gave
his name as James Montague, but this
name is thought by the police to be
an assumed one. He said that he had
stolen a horse at Minot, and sold the
same for $40. He said all the shows
we're closed and he had to have some
excitement, so he went out and shot the
first man he met. Upon being informed
of the tragedy, Mr.. Camden of Walhalla
departed at once for Minneapolis tc
take charge of his brothers body.
