Turned Out In tho Cold.

On Tuesday night a fellow who
had been working in the Wilton
mines, but was making his way
east, happened to be in the depot at
Russo and when the agent wanted
to lock up he turned the fellow out
evidently thinking he would seek a
hotel, but in spite OF the raging
storm the fellow struck out Tor
Dogden. Somewhere along the track
he found shack and rested there
awhile, but becoming too cold he
resumed his journey and arrived in
Dogdel before daylight. The poor
fellows eyelids were frozen shut 50
he could not distinguish on which
side the town lay, so he sought re-
fuge in a box car where Agent Lam
bert found him a couple OF hours
later pacing back and forth to keep
life in his body. The agent kindly
took him where he received warmth
and necessaries Of life and the fel-
low is o. X. again.

MONTREAL COUNTY WON
Supreme Court Decides that Majority Vote Only was
Necessary-Decision Surprise to Many

Stanley will probably be the
new county seat as it is quite
centrally located, and the loca-
- is as coed as any that can be
picked. However the county
seat proposition is not settled.
It will be necessary for Governor
Burke to name the temporary
county seat, the county officers
including three county commits
sieners. or perhaps five. Three
will probably be named however.
This will probably deprive Com
missioner Amundson Of White
Earth of his Office, after the
county has once fairly been or
glnized and the business started,
11iess he be appointed one of the
commissioners of the new county.
The fourth Commissioners dis
trict of which Mr.. Amundson is
G. Commissioner, is included in
Montreal county.
It will be sometime before the
records can be Transcribed and
the business Of the new county
firly started.

One of the bills to be intro
duced in the legislature is that
compelling the threshers to clean
out their separators, before NOV
ing from one farm to another.
It is known that the changing of
a separator from one place to
another, is often the cause of
foul seed being scattered over a
farm that is practically free from
such. This would not be a bad
law,
