ARE INSPECTING
MOTT EXTENSION
PlNGREE WILTON LINE TO BE
COMPLETED NEXT YEAR
LIGHT GRADES.

jamestown, N. d., Oct. "A party
OF Northern Pacific railway officials
have left for a trip over the Mandan-
Mott extension. Among them were
Gen. Supt Blanchard, Gen. Traffic
Manager Woodwork, Gen. Freight
Agent Baird, Superintendent Burt and
others. The new line will not be turn
ed over formally to the operating de-
partment, but agents at Flasher and
Mott will be installed and any freight
or grain traffic that can be secured
will be taken care of by the road.
There is considerable work to do in
completing the surfacing and putting
the track in good condition. The new
extension will be included in the Da-
kota division under superintendent
Burt's management.
The work of grading on the Pingree-
Walton line will be finished this fall
and Is now nearly done The ironing
and other work Of getting the line in
readiness for regular passenger and
freight service will be done next sum-
mer, and will take about three months
to complete. There are ninety miles Of
track to get in position to handle the
fell business. The building of station
houses, the surfacing and finishing of
the grade, the laying Of the rails will
take until August If started In May.
Contrary to the general impression the
grade of the greater part Of the line
Is not heavy. After piece of rough
country west of Gerber has been pass
cd, the grade is comparatively level
and easy for sixty miles.

DRUNKEN FARMER
KILLS RELATIVE
SHOOTS MADISON LAKE MAN
WHOM, HE SAYS, MIsTREAT-
ED HIS NIECE.

Madison, Lake, Mimi, Oct. Be
cause, while in a drunken rage, he be-
lieved his niece, Mrs. George Corok Of
this village, had been Ill treated by her
husband, w. M. Hall, a wealthy re-
tired farmer, forced his way into the
Crook home this evening and after
battling with the woman for the
possession of the 32-calibre rifle, which
he carried, shot Crook in the abdo-
men. Crook died a few minutes later.
Deputy Sheriff Klugberg and Coro-
ner Kennedy of Mankato drove to the
village and arrested Hall, who was
placed in the Jail here. Il am glad
killed him." were Halls words.
All day Hall had been drinking in
the village. Towards evening he be-
came vicious, and abused his nephew
in-law. "I'll get him for hitting my
niece" he told a friend. The people
did not attach significance to his
threats, believing them to be the effect
Of his maudlin condition.
Shortly after 7 o'clock he secured a
rifle and went to Crooks home. Mrs.
Crook saw him as he entered the door.
She sprang from the supper table and
grappled with him. Halls superior
strength, coupled with his drunken
rage, proved too great for the woman,
however, and dwelling his gun, while
still in her grasp, he shot Crook in the
abdomen Crook sank to the floor. His
wife rushed from the house screaming,
and the neighborhood was aroused.
Hall, going to another room secured
Crooks shot gun, loaded it, and stood
in the door way, threatening to shoot
any one who attempted to arrest him.
The village marshal also armed him
self, and on his approach to the home,
the murderer lay down his weapon.
He was placed in the village Jail, and a
guard placed about 1t. Open threats
of lynching were heard.
Crook was farm leborer, and bore
an excellent reputation.
Hall is a wealthy retired farmer.

kansas and Brooklyn"

Under the heading, Brooklyn and
Kansas the Brooklyn Eagle recent
ly printed the following editorial:
''Here is an irrefutable argument
for going west to grow up with the
country, or for insisting that every
man shall have room enough to swing
a cat by the heels in his own back
yard.
The completed census shows that
Kansas has only about fifty-fv9
thousand more people than Brooklyn
has; but think of the fame, or if
, fame, be two wide word, think of
the advertising that Kansas gets out
of its 1850, 900 in companion with the
obscurity which envelopes like cloud
the 1,635,O 900 of Brooklyn. Kansas
raises Stubs and William Allen
White and Ed Howe and Madison
Victor Murdoch and Bristow, out of
population scarcely larger than ours,
yet where are our mountain peaks of
intellect and insurection?
Say Brooklyn in a mass meeting in
Clevland or Chicago, and perhaps half
the people present will think of
Doctor Hill, and one quarter of Tim
Woodruff, but the rest of there i'm
preSSlonS would be either of the
bridge by which you can get away
from our town or of the cemetery by
which you can't But Kansas. Why,
the four wind of the heavens blow
the fame of Kansas into every nostl il,
like golden-rod pollen in hay fever
time.
And what has done this thing for
Kansas? Room. Room in which to
spread her wings and crow. Kansas
has eighty thousand square miles
for its ideas to squirm and breed in,
while Brooklyn cooped up practically
as many people in seventy-seven
measley little squares miles, and then
boasts that it has room for several
million more if it can only get
tunnels to bring them here. Time
was when our little top bridge was

new that Brooklyn was as famous as
Kansas is now.
We were only little village on the
east bank of the east river, but the
American who had not seen Ply
mouth Rock church and Greenwood,
who had not heard Beecher and Doc
tor Storrs and Talmage, who did not
know about Richelieu Robinson, who
twisted the lions tail, and about
General Woodford, who didn't-such
an unimformed person would have
come from farther back than Kansas.
At that time there was room enough
in Brooklyn for a man to hear him
self think and so other people came
to hear them think.
Now that we are all cooped up in
layers, like the cliff jewellers of Ar
iona, the juice of originality is
squeezed out of us, or if by any
possibility a Brooklyn man does a
good thing, his neighbers are all too
busy earning their own living to turn
in and shout for him in the whole
souled Kansas way, which has done
so much to make that state
known. One of the issues of the re-
cent campaign was that we were not
going to KansaniZe New York, and
a bad thing, if we could Kansanize
our advertising right here in Brook
Ign.
Nevertheless, Brooklyn is civilized,
and Kansas is Kansas
