MORE SETTLERS COMING.

Ben johnson of Red Oak, Iowa, on
Monday completed deal whereby he
became owner of the Lars Tornqulst
farm of 80 acres located at Freedmen,
together with the stock on the place.
The consideration was $500. Mr..
johnson will move his family from
Red Oak in about. six weeks. He
recently disposed of a large farm in
Iowa, and states that he IS well
pleased with this county and that he
expects to bring some Of his friends
along to settle here. He will also buy
another farm for his own use.
Substantial farmers, like Mr.. johnson,
are most welcome here. Mr.. Torn
qulst will move to Oregon IN October,
at which place he has relatives.
While we are pleased to have new
settlers, we are loathe to lose those
we have. However, with our ex.
celient crops this fall. as an ADVERTISE
ment, it will do much to ill up many
of our vacant lands that can, when
properly, produce the best
crops in the country.

whether there were game birds ~
them. The game warden was the

run the dogs, but had stood up IN hls
rig, when he caught a glimpse Of thy
game warden 8 in the field, to see whb
1t was.
It had been reported to the game
warden that Brunette was In the
habit of hunting while on his route.

NEARLY LOST HAND.

Fremont Graham was the victim of
quite bad accident Tuesday evening.
when his right hand was caught in a
hay press and just escaped being
severed completely. The knuckle Of
the machine caught the base of his
hand and tore the meat from the bones
of the hand to the base of the fingers
A physician sewed the meat of the
hand back again and it is very
probable that the hand will be saved.
Had the .machine caught the hand a
half inch further back, 1t would have
been cut off entirely. Mr.. Graham is
now at the hospital, and will be laid
up for some time.
